"The Blood Strengthening Pill I booked last time should be in line soon..."
Gu Sheng was calculating the time. Blood Strengthening Pill This thing depends on the raw material, which is demon blood. If the demon blood is sufficient, the output will be greater. If there is insufficient demon blood, there will be basically no chance of it being lost. Gu Sheng is lucky. Part of the blood of the demon fox should be exchanged with Ge Qing, and then there is a chance to make a reservation.
After having enough money, he was naturally more inclined to trade money for time, and he had already made a reservation with Alchemist Ge Qing very early on.
At first, one Blood Strengthening Powder could almost make him reach the level of the Blood Refining Realm. Now, although he has reached the level of the Blood Refining Realm, Blood Strengthening Pill is still very effective and can save a lot of time.
Now Canghe County city is a troubled place.
He planned to wait until spring before going there. At that time, he could go to the blacksmith and try his hand at making heavy armor.
Guangxing The last day of the second year passed quietly.
Gu Family Village The atmosphere is very lively.
Since the incident with the demon fox Cang Mountain, Gu Family Village has taken refuge in Liu Yuanhu and has received a lot of care. Life has been much better than before, even for ordinary tenant farmers. At this time of year, laughter can be faintly heard everywhere in the village.
After the celebration at the host's house, Gu Xiaojiang had a drink with Gu Sheng as usual.
He is now close to reaching the limit of flesh and blood, but the bottleneck of energy and blood power is not so easy to break through. Even with the help of Blood Strengthening Pill, it still requires a certain amount of knowledge and accumulation.
But it's predictable.
Before the age of eighteen, promotion to the Blood Refining Realm is basically a sure thing.
Gu Xiaojiang was in a good mood. He always remembered the 'opportunity' that Liu Yuanhu said at the beginning. Now he had a vague idea of what that opportunity was, which was enough to bring him into contact with the larger world, which made him even more secretly encouraged.
Once upon a time, his goal was to become a Bone Refining Realm master and one day be able to protect Gu Family Village from being bullied by Black Sand Gang.
Now that his horizons are gradually broadening, his mind is naturally becoming more different.
Gu Sheng looked at Gu Xiaojiang's leaving figure, and his heart was slightly disturbed. Gu Xiaojiang did not hide it from him.
"Is there an opportunity over there at Chiyun Prefecture... Maybe, I should slowly inquire about the information there. Canghe County can at most cultivate Bone Refining Realm masters, and even Marrow Refining Realm can't be seen. Sooner or later, I have to go out."
"But don't rush, take your time. I have finally gained a foothold here. There is really no need to rush into a strange and dangerous environment. If I want to go out, I have to wait until my strength is exhausted."
"Besides, Canghe County is now in chaos, so it may not be my chance."
Strength determines confidence.
Originally Gu Sheng just wanted to survive in the turmoil, but now, as his strength becomes stronger, his thoughts gradually change.
When it comes to Chiyun Prefecture, resources may not be so easy to obtain.
Maybe you can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
"But my current strength is not enough..."
If Gu Sheng can hide in the dark the combat power of the Bone Refining Realm, then the possibility of safely getting a piece of the pie will be greatly improved.
"This day is not too far away."
Gu Sheng glanced at the panel with a smile on his face. On the last day of Guangxing's second year, Flying Thunder Leg had successfully advanced to the perfection realm, which made him even more lightning-fast and greatly increased his advantage.
He was looking forward to the special effects of Flying Thunder Leg.
Guangxing Three years.
Came quietly.
Gu Sheng is seventeen years old.
Years of practicing martial arts have made his body extremely strong. He is not a muscular man covered in tendons, but his explosive power is high under his well-proportioned body.
A big thing happened at the beginning of the year.
Guangxing Emperor fainted in the palace for no reason, and Daliang, which had been in peace for several years, seemed to be undercurrent again.
All of this naturally did not reach Canghe County so quickly. After all, it was far away from the center of power. No matter what information it was, there would be a certain lag when it arrived here.
"A Sheng, are you going hunting again?"
Someone from the same village saw Gu Sheng going out with a bow on his back and greeted him with a smile.
Gu Sheng also responded with a smile.
In the eyes of Gu Family Village, Gu Sheng is still the hard-working stone-skin warrior who goes hunting in the mountains from time to time and has no airs about others. Matchmakers have been coveting such delicious food for several years and want to get the generous introduction fee.
It's just that Gu Sheng always refuses on the grounds that he won't marry before he turns eighteen.
It made many people sigh secretly.
Now that Gu Sheng is seventeen, and getting closer and closer to eighteen, many people have begun to have little thoughts again.
Gu Erniu and Li Lian had already found several good and well-known girls nearby for Gu Sheng, and they were waiting for Gu Sheng to nod in agreement. It was not because they wanted to be matchmakers to get introduction fees, but because they really cared about Gu Sheng.
They feel deep down in their hearts that Gu Sheng is not talented in martial arts, and he may not be able to reach a very high level if he works so hard. It is better to marry a wife and have children to continue the family life, so as not to be alone without anyone to take care of him.
Of course Gu Sheng knows this.
Just smile every time.
Greeting the familiar villagers along the way, Gu Sheng always had a faint smile on his face.
To be honest, most of the villagers in Gu Family Village are pretty good, occasionally a little petty but generally kind to others. This is one of the reasons why Gu Sheng feels very comfortable staying here.
He can quietly experience things here without being disturbed, and he also has a few friends here. This is where he started, and he will not move unless he has to.
After walking out of Gu Family Village, Gu Sheng did not go into Cang Mountain to hunt as others thought, but turned around and went to the county seat.
His face and body changed rapidly as he ran.
Gu Sheng did not choose to disguise himself as Butcher, but changed his image. When Butcher killed Three Fiends of Gale, it was too eye-catching. Coupled with the recent unexpected changes in Blade Hunter, he did not want to rely on this aspect for the time being.
This time into the city.
It's for Blood Strengthening Pill.
Soon, Gu Sheng met a familiar rich man, the spokesperson of Alchemist Ge Qing - Ding An.
After buying Blood Strengthening Powder here several times, the two became familiar with each other, but what Ding An didn't know was that Gu Sheng actually bought Blood Strengthening Powder more times than he thought, because Gu Sheng changed several faces to come to buy in batches.
"Shopkeeper Ding, my Blood Strengthening Pill should be in line this time, right?"
Gu Sheng asked with a smile, without showing any impatience.
Ding An laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said:
"Zhang Daxia, I'm lucky enough to live up to my fate and finally get one for you. I'm just waiting for you to come and get it!"
As he said that, he slowly took out a small wooden box and opened it slightly. Without looking at the whole picture, just by smelling the strange fragrance Gu Sheng, he knew that it was Blood Strengthening Pill.
He has used one Blood Strengthening Pill and many Blood Strengthening Powders, so he is very familiar with the taste.
"This is eight hundred taels of silver notes. Shopkeeper Ding, please count them."
Gu Sheng Most of the cash is here, but he is not in a hurry. If he sells the remaining things in his hand, he can still get a lot of money.
These things are not difficult to come up with.
The black market has been wiped out, but many businesses are doing similar business, such as Lu Family, Zhao Family and other wealthy families in the county. Gu Sheng used to work in the Mingyu Hall sold Silver Fox skins, but later I learned that this was Zhao Family's industry, and even the forces under Alchemist Ge Qing's command, but the price would fluctuate a bit.
Ding An had a smile on his face.
"What are you talking about? Can I still believe you?"
However, he honestly started to check it in his hand and confirmed that the banknote was correct. The smile on his face suddenly became even bigger. He sold one Blood Strengthening Pill, which was worth more than thirty Blood Strengthening Powder. With good performance, he would get more benefits.
Gu Sheng put away Blood Strengthening Pill, took a sip of tea, and asked without leaving any trace:
"Does Shopkeeper Ding know if Alchemist Ge Qing has been refining Bone Protecting Pill recently?"
The smile on Ding An's face paused, his eyes flashed, he looked at Gu Sheng carefully, and said with a smile:
"Is it possible that you want to use it, Master Zhang?"
Gu Sheng shook his head with a smile:
"No, I'm far away from this realm now. I just heard someone say that if you want to temper your bones, you must take Bone Protecting Pill. I was just curious to ask."
Of course he didn't ask casually.
Bone Protecting Pill is a must-have for promotion to the Bone Refining Realm. Now that he is about to be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm, he naturally needs to prepare in advance.
This Bone Protecting Pill is different from Blood Nourishing Powder Blood Strengthening Powder. According to Gu Sheng's inquiries, basically only Alchemist Ge Qing has been circulated, and the rest may have been bought from Chiyun Prefecture.
Apart from this, I have not heard of other ways yet, so Gu Sheng needs to make plans early.
Ding An didn't care whether Gu Sheng was telling the truth or not. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Master Zhang, to be honest, Master Alchemist has also given instructions about Bone Protecting Pill before. This Bone Protecting Pill is different from ordinary pills. Master Alchemist specifically said that if anyone wants to buy it, he needs to interview him."
Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart.
Looking at this posture, Bone Protecting Pill is indeed a bit difficult to obtain.
He just smiled and nodded.
"It is difficult to reach the sky in cultivation. Not to mention Bone Refining Realm, even Blood Refining Realm, it requires my whole life's efforts."
Ding An didn't pay too much attention. In fact, Gu Sheng was not the first person to ask.
If you really need it in the future, you will always have to come to your door. There is no rush.
Gu Sheng said goodbye and left, his face slowly darkening.
"It seems that Bone Protecting Pill is in Canghe County. In a sense, it even belongs to the strategic level of elixir. After all, Canghe County's highest level of combat power is Bone Refining Realm. Alchemist Ge Qing specifically requested an interview. I'm afraid it will not be easy to obtain Bone Protecting Pill..."
"Let's look for other ways. If it doesn't work, we can only try from here..."
Gu Sheng shook his head secretly.
"In addition to Ge Qing being able to be refined, it is estimated that only two forces, Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie, have purchasing channels. They may even have to partially rely on the supply channel of Ge Qing, otherwise Ge Qing would not have such a transcendent status."
"In addition, Lu Family Zhao Family and other wealthy families may have some inventory, but it is estimated that it will not be much..."
He left lightly, walked around the city a few times, and headed towards the blacksmith's home.
"Bang bang!"
Gu Sheng gently clicked the door lock, but no one answered for a long time.
"Not here?"
He frowned slightly, flew to the eaves next to him, looked down, and saw that the blacksmith courtyard was empty. Gu Sheng's expression changed, and he landed in the courtyard and looked at it carefully.
"The blacksmith is gone?"
Gu Sheng looked a little ugly. He was originally thinking about how to get the blacksmith to agree to build cold iron heavy armor for him, but he didn't expect that even the blacksmith's shadow could not be seen now.
He took a breath to calm down.
In life, everything cannot go smoothly, and it is normal to have occasional setbacks.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Gu Sheng quickly adjusted his emotions and stepped out of the courtyard.
"It's best to learn how to forge weapons and refine elixirs one day, so as not to have to rely on others..."
Gu Sheng thought to himself.
at the same time.
Within Canghe County, there is an underground cave.
It was a lively scene.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The rhythmic sound of forging echoed in the cave, and many shirtless strong men were beating the iron blocks, sweating profusely, but they did not dare to relax at all.
Because beside him, warriors in black clothes with cold eyes were looking at him eagerly.
If someone is lazy and playful, he will be whipped hard immediately, and the skin will be torn to pieces. The whip soaked in salt water is enough to let people know what pain is.
"Fuck me harder!"
"If I don't see three hundred sets of heavy armor within half a year, be careful with your heads!"
"As long as the standards are met, we can let you go home safely when the time comes!"
In the cave, cold shouts rang out, and a tall man in green clothes was constantly patrolling, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and the mustache on his mouth trembled slightly.
It is Black Sand Gang Wind Hall Master, Leng Yun.
Brains are linked to performance, and each blacksmith immediately works harder.
The subordinate next to him knew how to look at his face and said quickly:
"Lord Master, the temperature here is too high. You should wait above. Just leave it to the younger ones. Don't worry, these people can't make any waves."
Leng Yun nodded slowly.
Although he is Blood Refining Realm and is protected from cold and heat, he is not very comfortable in this underground cave.
"You are so optimistic and you must not make any mistakes. This is related to our great cause Black Sand Gang. If someone dares to be lazy, you know what to do!"
"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry."
Leng Yun walked out of the underground cave, and there was someone waiting outside. He had a beard on his face and a pair of meteor hammers hanging on his body.
He immediately laughed and said:
"Master Han, why are you here today when you have time?"
Han Lu laughed loudly:
"Young Master, I came here this time to pick up a batch of heavy armor first. The boss is here to hurry up."
He smiled and punched Leng Yun.
Originally, the relationship between the two was average, but when Du Jiangbo was hunted down, Leng Yun showed great strength. Han Lu accepted his feelings and slowly became friends with Leng Yun. Otherwise, the task of casting heavy armor would not be handed over to Leng Yun.
Hearing Han Lu's words, Leng Yun couldn't help but his face fell.
"Han Lu, this place has just started, and there are only so many blacksmiths. Even if I ask them not to rest for twelve hours, they can't go so fast. How about asking the gang leader to grab some more blacksmiths?"
Han Lu shook his head and said:
"No, last time we used the cover of the siege to quietly capture a group of blacksmiths. It would be bad if we caught too many and were noticed by Liu Yuanhu, and we were on guard."
"The boss said that the next step is to catch them one by one at most, and the quantity must be controlled to avoid arousing suspicion."
Forging heavy armor is a crime of plundering a family and exterminating a clan, not to mention making it in such a large quantity. Just getting so much iron ore wastes Black Sand Gang's countless hard work.
Although Black Sand Gang doesn't care about the so-called serious crimes, if it is noticed by the enemy in advance, it will not have the effect of a surprise attack.
Leng Yun couldn't help but said irritably:
"It won't work this way, and that won't work either. The tasks are urgent. You might as well just kill me."
Han Lu hugged Leng Yun's shoulders and said with a smile:
"If it doesn't work, give these blacksmiths some potions to stimulate their potential. Blood Boiling Pill Improvements should make them more efficient. Anyway, I don't plan to keep them alive in the future."
There was a cold light in his eyes, and Leng Yun's eyes also lit up.
"Great idea!"
"It's you, Gang Leader Han, who has some ideas. You are worthy of being the gang leader's confidant!"
"Wherever, Hall Master Leng has completed the task this time, and his voice within the gang will definitely be improved to a higher level. It is very possible to even become a master of the Bone Refining Realm in the future. When the time comes, I will have to take more care of me, Han Lu."
The two complimented each other, looked at each other and laughed.
Gu Family Village.
After Gu Sheng came back from Canghe County, he immediately took Blood Strengthening Pill. After the medicine was digested, he instantly felt that his blood refining progress had greatly increased, about 40%.
This means.
If there are two more Blood Strengthening Pill, Gu Sheng can be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm. Otherwise, Blood Strengthening Powder can only be used to slowly temper the flesh and blood. Although it costs less money, it will still take at least three months.
For the current Gu Sheng, it is naturally more willing to use less time to break through.
pity.
Blood Strengthening Pill is not a good buy. I had to wait in line for a long time to buy this one from Alchemist Ge Qing.
"Let's combine it. Before getting Blood Strengthening Pill, use Blood Strengthening Powder to practice first. Unfortunately, Black Market Auction has not been opened, otherwise maybe we can take a look from there."
Gu Sheng once again felt the dilemma of limited resources.
Sometimes, even if you have enough money, you may not be able to get what you want.
The road to growth in Wu Dao Yi is destined to be full of hardships and requires countless resources and training.
The only good news is that Gu Sheng is much less dependent on resources than others. At least, Gu Sheng saves the resources to break through the bottleneck.
Next.
Gu Sheng just stayed at Gu Family Village and practiced silently.
Snake Breathing Technique is getting closer and closer to the realm of special effects, and he is looking forward to it.
In addition, Flying Thunder Leg and Golden Body Art also require a lot of time to practice. He wants to upgrade these two Body Tempering Martial Arts to the same level as Iron Stone Fist as soon as possible.
When the time comes, there may be unexpected gains.
There is no shortage of money for the time being, and Gu Sheng has no idea of changing his vest to take on the Blade Hunter mission. The ordinary mission rewards are not enough to attract him, unless it is Blood Strengthening Pill or more precious resources.
Just avoid the turmoil during this period.
After a period of turmoil at the end of the year, Liu Yuanhu became even more powerful, constantly clearing out the remaining remnants of the rebellion in Canghe County, even taking action personally.
There are rumors that he is eager to take off his hat as acting magistrate and become a legitimate magistrate. It seems that this is very important to him.
Gu Sheng vaguely feels that the establishment of Blade Hunter is also related to this.
However, the more core news is unknown. After all, Gu Sheng has never entered the game, but just watched silently in the dark.
Gu Family Village, on the other hand, could feel that the atmosphere in the master's house had been a bit heavy recently. Gu Xiaojiang had started retreat mode again. He finally reached the limit of flesh and blood three days ago and wanted to break the limit and condense the power of qi and blood.
Gu Sheng Just silently experience the liver at home.
Just when he thought he could successfully upgrade Snake Breathing Technique to the level of special effects, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
Black Sand Gang.
It's time to collect the annual contribution again!
