In the past, Sun Bingrong would definitely talk about the box of pearls that Li Cong sent you not long ago, but now he seems to have figured out something. What he did in the past was too much, and he still does now.
Isn't it a bit too much to do that? It's different to do the same wrong thing if you feel it and not feel it. Although the Cao family is generous on the surface, if they knew these things in their hearts, they wouldn't be making trouble.
Just kidding, besides, Jiangning City is within the Cao family's sphere of influence. Even if I took those things to a hidden place and pawned them, I wouldn't be able to do that. Thinking of this, this guy himself
I have no idea. In fact, it is not impossible. Li Cong also prepared a way for this guy. When he came back, he already told this guy that there are loan sharks here. This guy can go there to temporarily raise a sum of money.
Yes, it would be no problem if it didn’t take long anyway. Sun Bingrong looked at his wife, but now he made up his mind. He said that he was an official in the court, so how could he use it as a gift from his wife?
He went out without saying anything. As for what he did, only this guy himself knew.
After a few days, the matter was suppressed, and Li Cong also learned the result from other places. Sun Bingrong owed tens of thousands of taels of silver in loan sharking. The interest rate was 8% per month, which was 60,000 taels of silver per month.
It's 4,800 taels of interest. If this is not paid back in time, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the end. Everyone knows this kind of thing, but Sun Bingrong is now a guest at his father-in-law's house, and he has only been here for a few days.
God, if I just go back, the etiquette is not very good. If I talk about my official business problems, it will be even more non-existent. The county where I am is a small place and there are not so many worries at all.
Most of the time, he just stayed there. Not to mention walking away for a few days, it is estimated that nothing like this would happen for a few months. Sun Bingrong could only knock out his teeth and swallow the blood. He couldn't say
Come out. What I have been planning all day is this loan sharking. My father will not allow such a thing. If his father finds out, he will be beaten to death. Such a thing is really difficult. I have seen it before
How come those loan sharks are ruining their lives? Although I am not at that level now, these things are driving me crazy.
Li Cong knew about the beating of his eldest sister after returning home that day, but Li Cong didn't make a fuss about it. The guy's transformation in the past few days was acceptable. Besides, his punishment for her this time was still not enough.
Xiao Xiao, if this guy can understand more things, I won't have to deal with this guy so much. After all, this person is Cao Yan's husband. If something really happens, Cao Yan's face will be ruined.
It’s not very good-looking either. In this society, only men are allowed to speak, and women are not allowed to open their mouths. Everyone will definitely say this and that about Cao Yan. Don’t think about marrying again after Cao Yan’s divorce. It’s already close.
A thirty-year-old man, should he be alone for the rest of his life? That is definitely not what Li Cong wants to see, so it is better if some things can be passed over in confusion. Li Cong just asked his maids not to do it.
I talked about this matter casually and didn't mention it again after that.
Zuo Hong didn't expect that his reputation would be so great, and the price was not high. It was still the same as at the beginning, 300,000 taels of silver each. Li Cong thought very simply, Zuo Hong was
This is the first magician I know. I have to ask a lot of questions on my own journey. Offending people just for a few dollars is really not worth it. This can also be regarded as a kind of relationship building.
Well, this public relations fee is not enough. Zuo Hong has a very good relationship with the boss of the magician union in this province. The magician union is just a relatively large building for ordinary people, but for magicians
For a person, this is something they can't get rid of for the rest of their lives. This thing will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
The society of magicians is not independent from this society. Just like Zuo Hong, doesn't Li Cong have to have a relationship with Li Cong because of the elixir in his hand? Li Cong also has to rely on Zuo Hong to have a relationship with the person in charge here.
, are all related to society.
"By the way. There is one more thing I want to tell you. In a few days, I will go to the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains to practice my skills. Do you want to go? You should just go and see it. Both of our magicians are of the same rank.
It's too low. It's absolutely impossible to enter the Warcraft Mountains. We can try it in the abandoned mountain villages around the Warcraft Mountains. There are some first- to second-level Warcraft there. We are looking for a few warriors to accompany us. That's where
It's the best place for us to practice." Zuo Hong said before leaving that he had already practiced Bingluoyan very well, but there were still some shortcomings, that is, the ability to respond. Human beings can only face the situation of life and death.
You only have that quick reaction ability when you are young. Most popular people hope to find this feeling in front of World of Warcraft.
"Okay, I'll go. When the time comes, the eldest brother will come and call me." Li Cong nodded happily. Li Cong had wanted to enter this Warcraft Mountain Range for a long time, but his ability was really not very good.
Yes, if he joins those mercenary teams outside, those who don't know who they are, and he is a little magician who is not prepared to be sold by them, Li Cong is not afraid of this danger, even if he is
I am not a magician, so I can come back with my own skills. I am just afraid of getting lost in the Warcraft Mountains. This is the most terrible thing. The Warcraft Mountains cover an area as large as a dozen Earths. Now that I have entered,
Being confused is absolutely normal and no one should be surprised.
"Haha, you are so brave, kid. When I was at your level, I didn't dare to leave the city even half a step. I was just afraid that others or monsters would kill me. That's really unreasonable. The life of a magician is noble.
For the rest of my life, I can't let myself leave so early, so I have to live well. You are really brave. Okay, I will just ask you to go, and you should be more or less prepared.
Here is the list. If you look at what you need to buy, go and buy it. It’s only been a few days." Zuo Hong threw a list to Li Cong and went back. I got this Qi Condensing Pill. This thing is definitely a good thing.
, you must take it out and sell it quickly. How can you eat it all in your own hands?
This magician is also very dangerous, especially when he is young. Magicians at this time have no ability to protect themselves at all. These magicians can only rely on some large forces to live. This large force naturally
They want to protect you, but as for the opponents of this large force, they will definitely not care about this. They will definitely try their best to kill you. Otherwise, as long as you become an intermediate magician in a few decades, this will
The danger is huge. They can't just watch a danger slowly get bigger in their own hands. Such people are definitely mentally ill. They are not just brave,
His own strength is also very strong. Li Cong tested his strength. In this society, he is definitely equivalent to the ranks of eighth-level warriors. If an eighth-level warrior really enters the Warcraft Mountains, it will be no problem to go nearly a thousand miles deep.
, you can survive as long as you don’t encounter a swarm of monsters.
Li Cong made a temporary decision to go to the Warcraft Mountains, so Li never wanted to tell anyone. Anyway, it was not far from the city. It was only a hundred miles away from Jiangning City, and there was an army barracks nearby. The Warcraft there was just like Zuo.
Hong said the same thing. Most of them were low-level monsters. Occasionally, one or two high-level monsters were killed by the army. There would be no danger. Li Cong felt that it was better not to tell others about such things.
At this time, he took the Bingluoyan he had just obtained and went to his small yard to study it. Wu Liu had to guard it outside with a lot of people.
The combat form of Bingluoyan is that the magician casts a spell. Then within a certain distance around the magician, the ice elements quickly gather and turn into a huge ice block. It falls down like a rock and smashes the target it wants to attack.
In the middle, this is about to fall into the ice. The combat area and the size of the ice are directly related to the magician's ability. Just like Zuo Hong, his current equipment is not the best, but it is still
It can be considered a generalization. The diameter of the ice falling rock he releases is about forty centimeters, and it can directly kill an ordinary person. Even a third-level warrior can't find it when encountering such a thing, of course.
Magicians don't all face the enemy by themselves. They all cooperate with the warriors. Ice falls and rocks hit the other party's warriors, so that the other party's warriors will react more slowly. Naturally, there are enough warriors on their side.
The time has passed to end the enemy. Such things can be found in countless small conflicts. Speaking of which, Bingluoyan is of little use in the later stages. It can still be used to deal with low-level enemies, which seems to be level seven or above.
Senior warriors can definitely use their own speed to dodge. Of course, there are also those who can't dodge. Those people either underestimate the enemy or their abilities are too poor. Such free-falling things are impossible.
If you can't escape, what else can you do in the future? Such a warrior can be said to be an absolute waste.
Li Cong hadn't even started researching yet. Wu Liu told Li Cong that Zuo Hong was here again, with excitement on his face. Why did he come back after being out for less than ten minutes? Li Cong
After watching it for a while, the experiment was about to begin. But he also knew that this boy Zuo Hong would not be so aimless. He must have something to find him, otherwise he would not come back again. Is there something in his home?
Is it attractive? It seems to be a good thing. His smile is really bright. Li Cong tidied up casually and returned to the flower hall.
"Brother Li, you are so careless. How can you be inseparable from the Condensing Pill and the Qi Condensing Pill? Although the appearance of these two things is similar, there are some people who are quite surprised. I really don't know how you did it. You actually
You gave me a concentration pill. What can I say? My brother is not the one who takes advantage of me. I brought it back to you again. I just wanted to open it and take a look at this pill as soon as I left the house.
Who knew that one of them would be different from the others immediately? It is definitely a good thing." What is the concentration pill? Li Cong looked at the guy in front of him stupidly, and looked at his hand.
The two pills. Aren't these the Qi-Condensing Pills I gave this guy just now? Why did they turn into Condensing Pills so soon after leaving the house? How come I have never heard of this Condensing Pills? Over there, left
Hong didn't look at Li Cong as if he was teasing her. At first, she thought Li Cong was testing her. But now she knew from Li Cong's expression that this kid really didn't understand what Qi Condensation Pill was and what Condensation Soul was.
Dan, this is just like what Li Cong said. His master is a high-level alchemist who came here to practice. This guy took out some of her teacher’s contact items and sold them. It seems that
His teacher really didn't care much about this, but one Condensation Pill was worth ten Qi Condensation Pills, and he would never take advantage of it.
"Brother Zuo, to be honest, my master threw this thing to me and asked me to exchange it for money. I really don't know the difference between these two things. They all look the same to me?" Li Cong was a little confused.
Said, in fact, at this time, he has already observed that it is different, but he still wants to know some other news. This thing was made by himself in a daze, which is quite depressing, but it looks like it should be a good thing.
Something that would make even a magician covet it.
"I knew it was your kid's problem. If I were your master, I would be able to tell it at a glance. I also rely on the smell. Although they look similar on the surface, this Qi Condensing Pill is still better than the Condensing Spirit Pill.
It's a bit rougher. To put it bluntly, this Condensing Pill is an upgraded version of the Qi Condensing Pill, and it's a super upgraded version. Let me tell you this, look at those people who are trapped below level six, they use a Qi Condensing Pill.
The pill has a 30% to 50% certainty of breakthrough. But if you use the Condensing Pill, it is 100%. But the disadvantage is that you can only use it once in this life. Otherwise, the price of the Condensing Pill is definitely lower than that of the Qi Condensing Pill.
A hundred times or even a thousand times more." Zuo Hong pointed at the two pills and said.
"It turns out that it is like this. It seems that I have to go back and choose carefully. Big brother, since you have figured out this, it will cost you a few million taels of silver at most. I will give it to you." Li Cong said with a smile.
, although he did not suffer a loss. But he would not be so harsh on such a real person, but Zuo Hong refused to say anything. Things like the Condensation Pill are not very expensive and are very useful. They are not usually available. If you let go
In the hands of a caring person, it can be sold for tens of millions.
"Speaking of which, this Concentrating Pill was absolutely priceless in the past. But later, I don't know who discovered that the Concentrating Pill can only be taken once in a lifetime. Naturally, many people with great prospects or money will not use this thing.
They will just buy a few more Qi Condensing Pills. But for some guys who are old or not very smart, this is a real treasure. Even if they use Qi Condensing Pills, they may not be able to get through this.
For those in the upper class, they can only use the Concentration Pill. The price of this thing on the market now is four to five million taels of silver, but if you actually buy it, it will cost more than 6 million taels of silver. Since you want to give me this
, I can't take advantage of you in vain. Give me a preferential price, um, how about 500?" Zuo Hong thought for a while and said, he was not a very open person before, but when he saw Li Cong like this
People don’t know how they did it in the future. It may be because of Li Cong’s personal charm. This guy doesn’t want to trick people anymore. In fact, to Li Cong, this thing is nothing like the Qi Condensation Pill just now. The Condensation Pill and the Condensation Pill
Qi Dan is the same to Li Cong, it's no big deal.
"Haha, you are a real person. OK, you can do whatever you say. By the way, now do you know where the people from the Magicians Guild are?" Li Cong asked, as for Li Cong, the people from the Magicians Guild.
I still hope that they can come here earlier. After all, if my identity can be confirmed earlier, I can buy things earlier. Unlike now, although I have ten magicians, I have nothing, and the things outside are not the same.
Even if it's bad, it's not as good as some things in the union. Who doesn't want the best, especially the rich guys.
"As far as I know, they are already half way away from us. If they were in the past, they would definitely not be so fast. I heard that there are some problems within the Magician Guild. It seems that there is something big.
Action, they all changed into the fastest popular monsters and are coming towards us quickly. Just wait patiently. The power turmoil at the top of the Magician Union is not something we can participate in. Only those above level six
Only magicians have the right to participate. Just like the two of us, we just hang out in this province. We have many benefits here, and we can also enter the Warcraft Mountains for the first time to try. This is definitely a
The best place is that if we go to the capital or other big cities, the two of us with such abilities may have entered a spiral that we cannot control at any time, and the turbulence of the upper class will wipe us out in a single wave.
, The sorrow of little people." Zuo Hong also sighed secretly when he talked about this. Li Cong fully understood what he said. It is absolutely normal for people above to sacrifice those below for their own benefit. This is nothing.
It's easy to say, even magicians are no exception. Magicians are not saints, and there will definitely be various things. The high-level magicians are the top people here, and the low-level magicians are the legendary cannon fodder.
If they knew that Li Cong was an alchemist, it would be even more extraordinary, and the competition would be even more fierce.
The two talked for a while. Li Cong was not a member of the Magic Guild yet, so he couldn't say that much. Zuo Hong explained some things about going to the Warcraft Mountains and left. At this time, Li Cong finally had time to take a look.
My own Bingluoyan. As for the Concentrating Pill or Qi Condensing Pill, those sold before must have Concentrating Pills in them. It is absolutely impossible to say that those people don't know it. There must be no one.
When I came back, I told myself that these people had all taken the money, but I couldn't blame others for this. This was originally Li Cong's own negligence. He just didn't let them take advantage from now on. Li Cong told Wu Liu
The sales of Zhixue Powder will continue, but the Concentration Pill should be temporarily suspended. Just get all the pills back. Li Cong will slowly check the medicines after he understands Bing Luoyan.
Li Cong opened a small package that Zuo Hong handed to him. It was definitely a good thing. It contained a magic spell made of parchment. It was not very long at all, only a few short sentences.
, after all, such a thing cannot have too many spells. It is just a low-level magic. If there are many spells, there will be no way to do high-level magic. Li Cong remembered it after reading it once.
There was nothing special about these things. After remembering them, Li Cong started to follow the instructions above.
Something like Bingluoyan is a pure low-level magic, and it is also the first ice magic with offensive power. After Li Cong silently recited the magic spell, the surrounding ice elements began to gather, and then Li Cong was never far away.
A small piece of ice began to appear about two meters away. Li Cong could control the ice piece with his mind, and then it fell down. It is recorded that if he reaches the realm of a high-level magician, even
You can control the ice cube to stay in the air for about two to three seconds, and more advanced ones can even move it. But this is the first time Li Cong has used this thing, and he is not very familiar with it. Those things are probably not
It will appear next to Li Cong again. Li Cong thinks about it now and just takes his time. Even if he can move, it doesn't happen in a while. He must have practiced for a long time.
Li Cong breathed a sigh of relief after falling for the first time. What he didn't know was that it took Zuo Hong ten minutes to create an ice block as big as Li Cong. It didn't succeed the first time, it would take hundreds of times.
Only then could he succeed, and Li Cong did it the first time. But Li Cong was still dissatisfied when he looked at the palm-sized ice cube. Damn, what can such a thing kill? Not to mention World of Warcraft.
The best a human can do is break his head, but according to this information, the top magician's Ice Falling Rock can even kill level 4 monsters. Of course. The top magician has too many magics, and it is impossible to kill them.
Bing Luoyan came out to do errands. Li Cong looked helplessly at the slowly melting ice. It seemed that his mental strength was still not enough. He continued to practice. Li Cong continued to meditate, striving to maximize his state.
Best condition.
Li Cong began to use thought cooling in his meditation at this time. He had already discovered that using thought cooling can make his meditation more effective. Meditation is a way for ordinary magicians to increase their mental power, but for Li Cong, half
After an hour, Li Cong felt that his energy level had not increased. This is actually normal. Generally, magicians spend six nights a week meditating. It is already good to have an increase of one percent every year. It is as good as Li Cong's.
It is impossible to dream of refining medicine to more than double your mental strength. Half an hour later, Li Cong had given up on the idea of using meditation to increase his mental power. It seemed that he still had to continue refining medicine.
, although he can barely reach the level of a fifth-level magician now, but to be honest, his reaction ability is still unknown. The reaction ability of this magician is completely different from that of a warrior. Li Cong must go
After some exercise in the Warcraft Mountains, Zuo Hong's invitation came to mind.
"Who?" When Li Cong finished speaking, the person had already flown onto the roof. In the distance, an afterimage flashed away. This person was much more capable than Li Cong. Li Cong estimated that he must be at least
With the ability of an eighth-level warrior or above, Jiang Ningcheng, an eighth-level warrior, is already considered a very powerful person. Generally speaking, such a person would not do such frivolous things. Could it be that the person in front of him is just a minion?
What's going on? The effect caused by a magician finally began to be realized. Li Cong had encountered these things many times before, but this time it was different. He was a magician. What was the purpose of their coming to spy?
What, and the person who just flew up to the roof must have seen it. His ability as a warrior must be a secret. No matter which side this guy belongs to, his trump card has been leaked. This is not good.
, Li Cong asked himself that he was not as skilled as that person, so he did not chase after him. At this time, Li Cong thought that he should actually have a few of his own subordinates, even fourth-level warriors. Their perception ability is very important.
Much stronger than people like Wu Liu, Li Cong came down from the roof and Wu Liu ran in. If he counted on them for his own safety...
"Master, what happened? Why did you get to the roof?" Wu Liu felt something was wrong. But none of his friends were lazy just now. It really wasn't their business. Everyone's face looked a little aggrieved.
of.
"Haha, it's none of your business. I have my own reasons for going up there. Let me ask you something, do any mercenary unions in this city rent out bodyguards? Which ones have good reputations?" Li Cong said.
, now his team has not been established. It is impossible for these people to just listen to him, they can only spend money to buy peace first. Although those people may not be trustworthy, Li Cong has seen them on earth.
There have been many cases where mercenaries turned their backs on money. It is not uncommon for them to kill their employers and take away their employer's assets, so many people don't trust them. Just like some wealthy families, they would not choose this.
As for mercenaries, you will only ask them to do it unless it is something that is inconvenient for you to do.
"I heard this from the master before. The Tiger mercenary group that came to see the master seems to be doing this. Their reputation is also good. Many wealthy families use their nursing homes, but
Their charges are not low either. I heard that if the rich in Chengli, Jiangning hire two level four warriors from them, it will cost 4,000 taels of silver a month. This is not the best, the best is like that.
The fees must be even higher." Wu Liu is actually a follower. He doesn't know much about this and that, so it would be great to have such news. The Tiger Mercenary Group still has business dealings with him.
They couldn't use it, so Li Cong had better choose to go to the mercenary alliance to have a look.
He ordered Wu Liutou to lead a few men to the mercenary alliance's territory because Cao Yan was back. Cao Zheng had been accompanied by his daughter these days, so he could just ignore Li Cong's affairs.
No matter, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If I talk nonsense with this kid, I guess there will be no results until tomorrow. And with my daughter here, if they start arguing, I am not a good father. I still don't care.
Li Cong's affairs are better, but it is still necessary to ask someone to follow him. Otherwise, if something happens to this boy, it will shake the foundation of the Cao family. Such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen. In the past, I was
The backbone of the Cao family has now become this boy.
The Mercenary Alliance is also in the south of the city. However, the headquarters of the Mercenary Alliance is in the city, but this branch is outside Jiangning. The headquarters is a liaison agency and cannot do anything. If you want to take on tasks or make announcements,
The missions all required going outside the city, so Li Cong's carriage went directly towards the branch outside the city without stopping. The Cao family's carriage walking on the street was a kind of ostentation. Jiangning Chengzhong's three religions and nine streams of power
If you can't fight with the government, you won't fight with the government. Every one of them got out of the way when they saw the Cao family's carriage. Although the city lord is nominally the supreme leader here, anyone who has not lost his mind will do it.
It is clear that Cao Zheng is the top leader around here. The city lord wants to contact the emperor, so just wait. The memorial will go to the provincial governor's office. From the governor's office, go to the governor's palace, and then to the government office in the capital.
It's so fast that I don't know how many people have passed it before it was delivered to the emperor. It may not be in the emperor's hands yet, but Cao Zheng is different. If anything happens to this kid, he can just let himself go.
The people just took their memorials and quickly headed towards the capital. This is what Shang Datian heard. With this, who can not give Cao Zheng three points of face?
Speaking of which, this is Li Cong's first time out of Jiangning. Compared with the city, the number of people outside the city has not decreased at all, but the buildings are not so gorgeous. Most of them are private houses. The people on both sides
They are all wearing furs and stuff. This is where the people live. Many of the people here are mercenaries. Although their warrior levels are not high, they still rely on the Warcraft Mountains to find food and take risks.
It is commonplace for them to risk their lives to get something that can be exchanged for money. No one will think that there is anything inappropriate about this matter. The roadside is full of small vendors trading some things produced in the Warcraft Mountains, and their prices are high.
It's much cheaper than those stores in the city, but it's hard to tell what the quality is. The store managers in the city also take some apprentices and so on to slowly look for what they need outside the city.
As long as you like it and the price is easy to talk about, you can still make money when you go back. If you don't sell it, you will have fun. We won't give you face. Small traders and hawkers are not easy to get along with here.
Even a beating will be lenient. Murder and robbery also happen from time to time. Why do you call this place outside the city? There is no place for violating the law.
After leaving the city, the road was not so easy to walk. Li Cong was wandering and cursing how uncomfortable this carriage was. Damn it, it would be great if the carriage he had on the rty planet could be delivered here. He has been there for several days.
We have lost contact with the earth and the rty planet. Damn it, we can't lose contact like that. Thinking of this, Li Cong felt depressed for a while. At first, Tektronix only said that the signal was not very good, but did not say that it would be difficult.
Like this, I have contacted him three times since I came here.
Li Cong just didn't think about the unhappy things. This time, Li Cong had always found a few bodyguards for himself. Anyway, he had plenty of money. When he got off the bus, Li Cong got off and was shocked. He didn't know this.
I thought I was in prison, but when I looked at the people outside, they all looked fierce. These people wished that others didn't know that they were all mercenaries, and they didn't know how to be restrained at all.
"Welcome Master Cao to our mercenary alliance, please come quickly." Before Li Cong and the others could react, a fat man came to the door. He was a little over 1.6 meters tall at most, and the diameter of his belly was probably about the same amount.
, it seems that being a kid from a rich family is not bad. Others can only go through the very crowded entrance. I should have some special treatment under the leadership of this fat man. There is no one at the door in front of me. Li
I nodded and followed this guy in without saying anything. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please
