Chapter 22 Preparations

"Maybe I should go to the county auction house and see if I can get anything."

Shen Cong now has the heaven-level martial art Dragon Divine Claw. Although it is only a fragment, it is enough for the present and even for a long time to come.

However, his inner strength and mental methods need to be changed.

Ming-level Thunderbolt Technique may still be used until one breaks through the fifth level, but what about after breaking through the fifth level?

This does not mean that the Thunderbolt Technique is useless after the fifth level. It just means that the higher the cultivation level, the more spiritual energy is needed to advance. The Thunderbolt Technique has been cultivated to the Great Perfection state. Even if one's own understanding is no longer High, the speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy will not increase.

As a result, your cultivation speed will become slower and slower!

However, the outside world is not very peaceful now. Yuncheng belongs to Dacheng County and is hundreds of miles away from Dacheng County. It is inevitable that you will encounter some dangers. Even if your current strength has reached the sixth level, you will still Just make more preparations.

After breakfast, Shen Cong began to forge the sword.

The Dragon God Claw not only allows his fingertips to produce air blades, but also greatly strengthens his grip strength and the hardness of his hands. Now when forging, Shen Cong even feels that he is holding not a hammer, but a hammer. Plastic foam, light and stress-free.

After simply forging a batch of swords, Shen Cong took out a batch of pig iron from the warehouse, and then through continuous tempering, first turned it into extremely hard thousand-forged steel.

Then forge them into round copper coin darts.

He did not build a sword for himself. The sword was not as powerful as the Dragon God's Claw. It would be useless and would be troublesome to carry around.

Copper coin darts are different. They can kill people invisible from a distance, which can prevent the enemy from escaping or killing people unexpectedly.

I originally wanted to make myself a soft mail armor, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that it might not be as hard as my own skin. It would be useless if I could tear it apart. If I couldn't, it would be impossible to split my own body's defense. I didn't make any plans.

After making the copper coin dart, Shen Cong asked the manager for a few days off.

Although the manager was curious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After everything was arranged, Shen Cong returned home, took a shower and changed into clothes he had never worn before. Then he used pig skin to disguise himself and changed his appearance. Then he took out the money he had accumulated for so long from the jar under the bed. .

After careful counting, there were seven thousand two hundred and seventeen taels in total.

Before, there were only more than 5,000 taels. This month, Shen Cong sold some spiritual liquid, and the money had increased to more than 7,000 taels.

Of course, going to the county auction house with just this little money is a bit overestimating one's ability.

But Shen Cong was not worried, because he still hid under the chimney at the bottom of the pot the unused elixirs he had refined and accumulated over many days. There were more than 200 pills, and the purity could reach 90%!

The market price of an elixir is sixty or seventy taels of silver, but it is impossible for the medicine hall to sell it for such a high price. It is only fifty taels at most. After all, the medicine hall still has to make a profit.

But Shen Cong only needs to sell 200 taels to accumulate 10,000 taels.

He divided the elixirs into some small porcelain bottles. Just like selling spiritual liquid before, he would not put more than 200 elixirs in one store, but would sell them to multiple ones.

This is a huge amount of money, and it can easily attract others to covet it.

"It's actually a 90% pure Body Tempering Pill!"

Every shopkeeper of the medicine hall showed shocked expressions after confirming that Shen Cong's elixirs were 90% pure. The same was true for the shopkeeper of Fang's Medicine Hall in Xicheng.

"That's right, other medicine halls can offer up to fifty-seven taels of silver, but I haven't sold them. How many taels of silver can your Fang's Medicine Hall offer?"

Shopkeeper Fang chuckled.

"Right now, a storm is coming at the Beimang garrison border. The prices of elixirs and spiritual liquids have all increased. Especially the elixirs are much more expensive than usual. There are many people who pay eight or nine taels a piece. Some people even spend a hundred taels. I'm looking to buy high-purity Body Tempering Pills. Fifty-seven taels per pill is indeed a little short.

In this way, I will give you seventy-two pieces, and I will give you as many as you have."

Shen Cong, who was behind the mask, was also quite surprised in his heart.

Frankly speaking, the price of elixirs has indeed increased recently, but the shopkeepers of other medicine halls have not raised their prices too much. The price increase of the largest one is about three taels of silver per pill, which is far from fifty-seven taels. .

But the Fang's Medicine Hall in front of me has directly raised the price to seventy taels a piece, and they ask for as much as they can, which is a bit interesting.

This guy might have some secrets.

I hope he is not a remnant of the former dynasty or a spy in Beimang. Otherwise, Shen Cong will never show mercy and will at least report him to the official.

After all, if Yuncheng is breached, he will also be implicated.

"Okay, I still have a total of thirty-one coins on hand. I'll give them all to you, but I want a bank note, a regular bank note from Daxia Commercial Bank."

"No problem, Xiaosi, take two thousand two hundred taels of silver from the account and give it to Master Han."

"Okay!"

Shen Cong opened his mouth and said:

"I don't have any change."

Shopkeeper Fang smiled and said:

"If you don't miss the thirty taels, I'll just give it to the master to make a friend. If the master still has some elixirs in the future, just come to our Fang's Medicine Hall and I'll always charge you the highest market price."

"That would be disrespectful."

Shen Cong was not polite at all. What he brought was not free of charge.

However, this also made him keep an eye on it. The other party was so eager for the elixir and would buy it at any cost, which was not necessarily a good thing. When he came back from Dacheng County, he had to pay more attention to it.

It's good to be able to sell it at a high price, but if it's involved in something dangerous, that's not what you want.

"Yes, this is a banknote, you can count it."

"No need, shopkeeper Fang is generous, I can trust him."

"Okay, then we'll clear both money and goods."

"Farewell."

“Come again next time.”

The two said goodbye, and Shen Cong quickly left Fang's Medicine Hall. Shopkeeper Fang stared at his back and said:

"This man is a talented person. Find an opportunity to chat with him. If he can be brought under the throne of Heaven, he may be able to contribute a lot."

Xiaosi raised his eyebrows and said:

"But what if he doesn't want to join us?"

Shopkeeper Fang's face turned cold.

"Then do him!"

From here, Shen left Yuncheng and headed east.

Dacheng County is located in the southeast of Yuncheng, with mountains in the middle. It is said that there are spiritual beasts in the forest that eat people. Shen never knew whether it was true or not, and did not want to take risks, so he took the main road throughout the journey, although the distance was longer. But it's better than safety.

In the world of martial arts, what is most important?

Safety!

The road from Yuncheng to Dacheng County Heads first to the east and then to the south.

After leaving the city, Shen Cong headed east. Along the way, he could see with the naked eye some people, dragging their families and families, in small groups, or pushing small carts, migrating towards the interior of Daxia.

Just like ants, in order to survive, they must move in advance to avoid the violent storm.
Chapter completed!
