Five days later, Crossing Peak Stronghold.
In the compound rented by Yi Yang, the doors and windows of the main house were closed. There was a Cypress Bathtub that was half a man tall. The water in the bucket had already cooled down. A light brown color appeared on the surface of the water, and steaming heat kept coming out.
Yi Yang's strong body was immersed in it, his eyes were closed tightly, and the muscles around his body were rising and falling rhythmically with his breathing, like a dormant beast.
Suddenly the closed eyes in the barrel opened. Yi Yang has not left home these days, and has been immersed in the practice of "Nine Heavens Thunderclap Seal".
The six newly opened Hidden Meridianss on the inside of both arms have been widened in a circle after repeated True Qi erosion and collision of energy and blood in the past few days.
Yi Yang Raise your right hand, spread your fingers, and then close them.
From the palm of his hand, a small purple-white seal jumped out. It was much more solid than five days ago. Electric light flashed between the fingers, making a crackling sound.
Divine Art is difficult to practice, it is for ordinary warriors.
As long as it appears on Heavenly Mandate Panel and you practice hard every day to improve your proficiency, no matter how tricky Cultivation Art is, it will become a physical instinct.
After dispersing the thunder seal on his palms, Yi Yang stood up from the water with his hands on the edge of the bucket.
The water droplets flowed down the wheat-colored muscles. Before they fell back into the bucket, the heat rising from the body surface evaporated the water stains.
He stepped out of the tub, took the dark-colored Martial Garment that was placed on the shelf, put it on, and then buckled the close-fitting Mysterious Abyss Saber around him.
Dude, dunk.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Wait a moment."
Yi Yang replied, took the cloth belt and tied his green and black hair behind his head.
He took a photo of Bronze Mirror again and found that he still looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. It seemed that he did not have the ability to use "Manifestation". It would take some time to truly regain his youth. Although Yi Yang could use "Thousand Illusions Mask" to control his appearance, it was false after all.
After confirming that there was no strange smell left on his body, Yi Yang opened the door latch and stepped out.
In the yard, Xu Min was waiting at the foot of the steps with his hands hanging by his side.
Seeing Yi Yang come out, Xu Min took two steps forward, cupped his fists and saluted:
"My lord."
Xu Min first glanced around and reported in a low voice, "For the errand you gave me, my subordinates and my brothers have visited all the pharmacies in the city in the past few days."
"Red Blood Ginseng, Nine Suns Ganoderma, Century-Old Earthfire Lotus, Pure Yang Golden Vine, and Flameflow Firegrass, these auxiliary medicines with five flavors and yang properties, have been collected according to the standard of a hundred years."
Having said this, Xu Min paused, frowned, and handed over a list:
"It's just..."
"Only the main ingredient on the list, Golden Sun Snake Heart Fruit, is out of stock from all the drug stores in the city."
Yi Yang stood on the steps, took the list, glanced at it, and nodded:
"No news at all?"
He saw this medicinal bath recipe from the incomplete "Divine Bone Blood Refining".
Iron Bone Although I have mastered this level, the further I practice, the more terrifying the consumption of energy and blood becomes.
Just by eating Pills and meat, the speed of digestion cannot keep up with the shortage of bone tempering. Waterside Spirit Drop uses every drop, so it must be kept as a life-saving trump card.
According to the secret book, if you take a bath with these century-old Treasure Medicine, which has the most yang flavor, the medicinal power can flow directly from the pores to the bone marrow. It can not only replenish the depleted qi and blood, but also greatly improve the efficiency of bone tempering.
All that is saved is real time.
That is to say, Crossing Peak Stronghold is stuck on the mountain pass of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. There are so many warriors entering the mountain to fight for their lives every day, and so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are flowing out.
If it were placed in a place like Suining Prefecture, not to mention collecting all the five century-old medicines in five days, it would only take five months to collect one or two of them, and it would be considered highly incense.
Xu Min saw Yi Yang asking questions and quickly answered, "Sir, it's not that bad that there is no news at all."
"When my subordinate was doing the accounting at a time-honored drug store in West Market yesterday, he asked a question too much. The shopkeeper took five taels of silver from me before he uttered some words."
"It was said that three days ago, a well-wrapped warrior went to his shop to inquire about the price, and in his hand was a Golden Sun Snake Heart Fruit that had just been picked out of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains."
"The shopkeeper originally wanted to eat it, but the other party said loudly that he didn't want Silver Notes or the ordinary Spirit Crystal. He had to change it to a specific high-end Pills, and he also had to buy an additional hundred Spirit Crystal."
"The conditions were too harsh, and the shopkeeper thought the profits were too thin and he was taking risks, so he didn't dare to take the job and sent him away."
Yi Yang nodded after listening.
As long as you have something, as long as it's still in the city, we can negotiate on terms.
At this juncture, Spirit Crystal is also piled up in Storage Ring. In this world, it can only be called a good thing if it can be replaced by powerful things.
"Where is that person staying now?" Yi Yang asked.
Xu Min lowered his head and replied, "The warrior policeman was very worried. He got into South District's underground Black Market as soon as he left the drug store. The subordinates were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they only sent two smart brothers to keep an eye on Black Market's periphery and did not investigate further."
"Go find out."
Yi Yang walked down the steps, stood in the middle of the yard, and said in a calm tone, "Find out his details and where he lives, don't alert others, and come back to me after you find out. I will go and negotiate the deal in person."
"Understood!"
Xu Min accepted the errand, but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he took half a step forward.
There was a bit of solemnity on his face, and he looked up at Yi Yang: "Sir, there is another important matter."
"There have been rumors in the city for the past two days that Mr. Deputy Garrison Commissioner Jiang Zhongtian has left the important town."
Yi Yang Listen, there is no expression on his face.
Xu Min thought that his master did not know the inside story, so he hurriedly poured out the information he had learned from the bamboo tube like beans. "It is said that Qingzhou City has dispatched another elite army of 5,000 people over there. Lord Jiang is here to take over the military power halfway."
"Right now, rumors are circulating in the city that after Lord Jiang took over the troops, he did not go to the city to rest at all, but directly led his team over Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and conquered Tooth-Copper City again!"
"The warriors in the teahouses and restaurants outside are spreading the word that Lord Jiang can't bear the bad mood of the army's defeat a few days ago, and has issued a military order. He must defeat Tooth-Copper City and earn back the face we Great Yu Heaven Patrol Office has lost!"
Xu Min said it so enthusiastically that her breasts were two inches taller.
He had been working hard at the bottom for so many years, and seeing his immediate superior's backer being so majestic, he naturally became more motivated.
Yi Yang didn't say anything after listening, and didn't answer the question.
He already knew this.
Jiang Zhongtian was going to leave. As early as a few days ago when the two of them had a secret conversation in City Lord's Residence's study, the other party had already been angry with him. The twists and turns inside were very different from what Xu Min heard on the street. This battle was Jiang Zhongtian's initiative.
