"These things are also left to you. If you are short of money in the future, you can sell them in Canghe County City. However, I hope you will not rely too much on these. I hope you can use what I teach you to exchange for what you want!"
Gu Sheng was naturally referring to the skills and experience he taught Gu Wan about hunting in the mountains.
After Gu Sheng explained everything to Gu Wan one by one, he carried his own special wooden box and left the small courtyard where he had lived for many years.
For the convenience of traveling, Gu Sheng only brought the removable Thirstblood Great Axe, while Hundred Refinements Heavy Armor was left with Gu Wan.
When we walked to the entrance of the village, Gu Dajiang was already waiting here.
"Asheng."
Gu Dajiang looked at Gu Sheng with complicated eyes and was speechless.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and patted Gu Dajiang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Uncle Dajiang, I'm still young. It's a good thing to be able to go out and have a try, just like Xiao Jiang. You should be happy for me."
As he spoke, Gu Sheng took out a fifty-tael silver note and handed it to Gu Dajiang: "Uncle Dajiang, please help me buy a new one for my small courtyard and give it to Gu Erniu's family. Please worry about this matter."
Although the small courtyard was originally bought by Gu Sheng's father many years ago, he is now kicked out by the clan elders. The Gu Family Village small courtyard is likely to be taken back. In order to prevent his Secret Chamber and the things left to Gu Wan from being discovered, he can only ask Gu Dajiang to handle this matter.
I think it's just a small broken yard, so with Gu Dajiang coming forward, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Gu Dajiang led the horse behind him and put the horse rope into Gu Sheng's hand.
"A Sheng, the clan elder means a lot to Gu Family Village. He has a lot of say. It's hard for my uncle to have a say in the clan. Just don't blame your uncle in the future. I don't have anything to give you, so I'll give you this good horse as a foothold!"
It is thousands of miles away from Gu Family Village to Chiyun Prefecture. If there are no horses to travel, Gu Sheng will have to walk for seven or eight days. If there are horses, this time can be reduced to three days.
Gu Sheng did not refuse this, and got on the horse. After Gu Sheng and Gu Dajiang said a simple farewell, they set off on the road in the direction of Chiyun Prefecture.
Walking on the smooth official road, the golden light of the rising sun spreads on the road. Gu Sheng is riding a horse and walking on it carrying a wooden box. Suddenly, a unique pride arises in his heart.
The official road leading to Chiyun Prefecture is very long. Except for a few counties that it passes through, most of it is in the barren mountains and wild ridges. It is fine during the day. At night, the beasts in the mountains may come out to look for food, and there are many powerful demon-blooded beasts among them.
Although Gu Sheng is already a master of the Copper Bone Realm and is invincible among Canghe County, he does not think that he is invincible. The closer he gets to Chiyun Prefecture, the stronger he becomes, whether it is a beast or a human.
Gu Sheng also met many people and caravans along the way.
The strength of these people is very strong. Among them, people in the realm of blood refining and perfection can be seen everywhere. Even people in the bronze bone realm. Gu Sheng saw no less than ten in this short day!
The sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting dark. For safety reasons, Gu Sheng did not spend the night in the wild, but came to the inn on the official road to stay overnight.
The Guandao Station was built by the Daliang court. At first, it was mainly used by the court to transmit information and intelligence. Later, with the advent of troubled times, the Stations in various places also became a means for local officials to make money. Gradually, the Stations also became inns on the Official Road, and you could stay and eat in them as long as you paid.
Guandao Inn is different from ordinary inns. Because it was first used as a military inn, it was built to very high standards, with very strong walls. It is also equipped with guards and military-specific defense weapons. It has strong defense power, so many people will choose to spend some money to stay at the inn.
Gu Sheng When we arrived at the inn, the place was already bustling with people, and the lobby was full of people eating and drinking.
Gu Sheng After finding a small table in the corner and sitting down, a waiter came over with a plate.
"Sir, do you want to eat or stay overnight?"
As he spoke, the boy took out a special wooden board and handed it to Gu Sheng.
The dishes and prices are written on the board, as well as the accommodation prices for different rooms.
When Gu Sheng took the board, he discovered that this boy turned out to be a warrior in the Jade Skin stage world. You must know that warriors in the Jade Skin stage world are already considered to have high-end combat power in Gu Family Village, and they are considered good even in Canghe Mansion. With their cultivation in the Jade Skin stage world, they can earn a good salary no matter which family they go to, but here they are just a handyman.
Gu Sheng held the wooden sign and pretended to choose the dishes, secretly releasing his senses.
At the counter in the lobby, there was a beautiful young woman with provocative clothes and perky breasts who was calculating accounts with an abacus. When Gu Sheng's senses fell on her, she couldn't move away. This was not because of the young woman's beauty and eye-catching hot figure, but mainly because her aura was too deep, giving Gu Sheng a strong sense of oppression!
"Is he a master of the Silver Bone Realm?"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but look at the beautiful young woman a few more times and secretly guessed in her heart.
The boy couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Sheng's actions, "Brother, please pay attention. Although our landlady is as beautiful as a flower, she has a fierce temper! Just peek in secret. People like you who look at things openly will not end well."
Gu Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He asked in a low voice, "Brother, the boss lady is so beautiful and dares to station in this wilderness. Aren't you afraid of some evildoers?"
The boy couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Then you underestimate our boss lady! She is not a flower vase, but our boss lady is a real master of the Silver Bone Realm. Besides, who often walks on this road doesn't know that our boss holds an important position in Chiyun Prefecture. Anyone who dares to mess around is afraid that the old man will eat arsenic and feel that his life is too long!"
Gu Sheng After hearing this, he secretly recorded the news in his mind, ordered a few side dishes, booked a most ordinary guest room, and then sent the boy away.
I have to say that this inn is very safe, but the fees are a bit too expensive!
Gu Sheng ordered three dishes in total, two meat and one vegetarian. The dishes were nothing unusual, just roast chicken, soy sauce beef and stir-fried vegetables. These three dishes could not even cost one tael of silver in Canghe County city, but here they cost him twenty taels! Even if the food is like this, the rooms are even more expensive. The most common one that Gu Sheng wants is the lowest price, which costs 30 taels a night. On top of this, there are three categories: A, B, and C. Among them, the price of a first-class room is as high as 180 taels!
Not to mention staying at this price, you can almost buy a small courtyard in the fringe area of Canghe County city. I don't know what the mystery of this first-class room is, but it costs so much money.
A quarter of an hour later, the waiter brought out all the dishes Gu Sheng ordered. Gu Sheng almost vomited after taking one bite.
I have to say that the food in this place is really expensive and unpalatable, but after seeing that no one around him dared to complain, Gu Sheng also chose to keep his mouth shut. After all, the waiter had warned him before that this boss lady was not easy to mess with.
Gu Sheng When he was eating with his head down, a man wearing smart clothes and carrying a knife at his waist walked in hurriedly and put a waist badge on the counter. At the same time, he took out a five hundred banknote and put it on the counter.
"Boss Boss, please help us Mu's Merchant Guild temporarily recruit some people here in your name."
The landlady took the banknote and asked with a smile on her face in a low voice, "Your huge Mu's Merchant Guild is still short of people? Why, did you find something in Thunderwood Mountain?"
Mu's Merchant Guild's people couldn't help but darken their faces when they heard this. "Madam boss, if you ask like this, you're breaking the rules!"
Hearing this, the proprietress covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha, I was rude. Okay, I'll ask for you right now, but how is the treatment you give me? Tell me, so I can make it clear to them."
After understanding this, the landlady suddenly slapped her hand on the counter, making a loud noise.
The movement here instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the originally noisy lobby instantly became silent.
Seeing that she had attracted everyone's attention, the landlady immediately cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, we have a mission in Thunderwood Mountain that still lacks some manpower. I wonder if you have any ideas to make some extra money along the way?"
The diners were not surprised by this, and some people immediately asked.
"What kind of mission is it? Is it dangerous? How is the reward calculated?"
Facing the chattering inquiries, the proprietress smiled slightly and explained, "This mission is a simple escort mission. The risk is not high, but the pay is very good. Blood Refining Realm will get five hundred taels a day, and Copper Bone Realm will get a thousand taels a day! What do you think? Is anyone willing?"
This remuneration is indeed very generous, and even Gu Sheng is a little excited.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry to go to Chiyun Prefecture. He will not let go of the opportunity to make money and see the world on the road.
After seeing several people signing up one after another, Gu Sheng also came to the counter to sign up.
"Boss lady, count me in."
Gu Sheng still had a childish look on his face, and the proprietress and Mu's Merchant Guild people were a little surprised when they saw Gu Sheng.
People from the Mu's Merchant Guild frowned and said, "Why are you, a little kid, joining in the fun? Just stay wherever it's cool!"
Because of Snake Breathing Technique, neither of them could perceive Gu Sheng's realm without taking the initiative to reveal his cultivation.
Gu Sheng was somewhat helpless as he circulated his energy and blood, revealing Blood Refining Realm's perfect cultivation.
"Can't it be done even if I meet the conditions?"
Both of them were stunned when they felt the perfect aura of the Blood Refining Realm on Gu Sheng.
"Which great clan or sect is this genius?"
This thought came to their minds at the same time. The landlady raised her eyebrows and asked, "Which family is the proud son of my little brother? Where are the elders in your family?"
Looking at Gu Sheng's face, the two of them can deduce that Gu Sheng is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Blood Refining Realm at this age is either a genius from the top wealthy family in Chiyun Prefecture, or a core disciple of two sects and three sects. Such people will definitely have elders accompanying them when they go out. The boss lady obviously wants to make friends with the people behind Gu Sheng by asking this question.
Unfortunately, Gu Sheng is not a genius from a wealthy family or sect.
Gu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm just a kid from a small place. If I really am a child of a rich family, why would I need to make this money?"
The boss lady and the people at the Mu's Merchant Guild heard this and thought it made some sense.
"Okay! I'll count you alone, meet at the door tomorrow morning!"
The person from the Mu's Merchant Guild made a decision immediately after looking at Gu Sheng for a long time.
After eating, Gu Sheng was led by the waiter to his guest room.
The guest room is very small, only two or three square meters, with nothing else except a bed, not even a teapot. I have to say that the inn has figured out this business! Fortunately, Gu Sheng was not a delicate person, so after sleeping for a night, he gathered at the door of the inn early the next morning.
The boss lady didn't show up today, the leader was the Mu's Merchant Guild guy from yesterday.
At this time, there were twelve people gathered at the door of the inn, including Gu Sheng. Except for three of them who were Copper Bone Realm, the rest were in the perfect state of the Blood Refining Realm.
The man from the Mu's Merchant Guild glanced at everyone and then a breath of the Copper Bone Realm was released from him.
Although they were both Copper Bone Realm, his aura put a lot of pressure on the three people he recruited.
Because Gu Sheng has practiced three kinds of body training martial arts, his body has been polished to perfection, and his strength is far beyond the same level. Mu's Merchant Guild's people have not had any impact on him, but for acting, he still has to do a full set. Gu Sheng also pretends to look ugly and has a short stature.
After seeing the changes in everyone, the corners of the Mu's Merchant Guild's mouth rose slightly, and a touch of pride appeared in his eyes.
"My name is Mu Qinghe. I am the leader of this mission. Remember, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't see what you shouldn't see! You will be rewarded once the work is completed!"
Some veterans had some guesses about his identity when they heard his name, but they were wise enough not to reveal it.
Especially the three Copper Bone Realm people frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. They knew very well the status of the Mu's Merchant Guild in Chiyun Prefecture. If he had reported his family yesterday, he would definitely attract more Copper Bone Realm to join. However, he did not do this and instead used the name of the inn proprietress to recruit. Are there any twists and turns in this?
Gu Sheng doesn't know Mu's Merchant Guild well, so he has no such concerns. He just regards this mission as an opportunity to make extra money and see the world.
After a brief explanation, Mu Qinghe led the team towards the mountains beside the official road.
On the road Gu Sheng took the opportunity to chat with people traveling with him and obtain information.
From the conversation, he learned that the mountains they were currently on were collectively called Thunderwood Mountain. The reason why they were called Thunderwood Mountain was because the terrain here was special, and thunder would fall when it rained. Over time, the trees that could survive here gradually changed, and the trees actually contained weak lightning power, hence the name Thunderwood Mountain.
Of course, the power of thunder and lightning in most trees is very weak. The specific manifestation is that after being ignited, it will explode like a firecracker. However, there are exceptions. In Thunderwood Mountain, due to the special geographical environment, two special materials will be produced, one is a weapon refining material called Iron Thunderwood, and the other is a medicinal material called Roaring Thunder Fruit.
Gu Sheng learned from the words of his companions that these two materials were very special and very expensive. Each of them was worth more than 200,000 taels and was a hot commodity among major sects and wealthy families. They guessed that this mission was to escort Iron Thunderwood or Roaring Thunder Fruit.
Gu Sheng is very curious about these two expensive materials. From the price point of view, if they are successfully refined, they will definitely be good things that can be rated.
