Ji Youjie frowned. In his expectation, it would be some time before the ruins were opened. Why did it come so without warning?
Compared with teaching young people who speak arrogant words, the task entrusted by the sect is naturally more important.
But the opening time of the ruins was much earlier.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately made a decision: "Go to the ruins first, wait until we get that thing, and then talk about other things."
"Okay, let's let that kid live happily for a few more days."
Zhao Yuefei gritted his teeth. He originally wanted to take revenge but found that he had found the wrong person. Now the resentment in his heart is even stronger than before.
But he could only endure it for the time being, because if he went alone, he would only get beaten.
…
Qihua Building, top floor.
A dark-skinned young man had his hands wrapped in bandages and his face was covered in hot sweat. He penetrated his palms into the black sand again and again.
Although his palms were already bleeding and his body was exhausted, he still did not dare to slack off at all.
Not far away, Li Xiang was drinking tea leisurely, correcting the opponent's posture and method of exerting force from time to time. This boy's perseverance was much better than he thought.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been unable to persist halfway through the training.
But this is just the beginning. It is especially clear whether this son is really suitable for the inheritance of his Black Devil Palm lineage.
No matter what kind of martial arts, you have to endure hardships that are unbearable for ordinary people, endure hardships that are unbearable for others, and only after the baptism of time can you achieve something.
Even if he possesses the Heavenly Book in his arms and reaches a higher level of martial arts, he has to go through great pain and torture to achieve it.
Moreover, compared to those warriors who have reached great heights step by step through self-cultivation, in the same realm, he is destined to be weaker. At least a sudden surge in physical fitness will make him feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's get here first today. Come over here."
Looking at the young man who was about to lose his strength, Li Xiang spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Song Qing took his hands out of the black sand. His body was trembling slightly uncontrollably. Blood had already seeped into the bandage. His expression was full of fatigue.
But he didn't say anything about "Kun Ti", but silently took a few steps forward, then cupped his hands and said, "Master."
Now, he has been accepted as a disciple by Li Xiang, and the test method is also very simple. He just had to deal with a few trouble-making things that Qihualou encountered, and he passed.
"Hand out."
Li Xiang said calmly.
After he stretched out his hand, he took out a small bottle of concoction from his arms and poured it down.
This is his secret special liquid, which can effectively treat skin injuries and burns, and can also speed up your own metabolism.
It is specially designed to be used with the Black Evil Palm.
"Hiss~"
Song Qing took a breath of cold air and felt as if his hands were placed in a hot oil pan. The severe pain that erupted in an instant made his mind go blank. He wanted to pull away his hands, but the next moment, he held back forcefully.
Got this impulse.
Although his vision was limited, he didn't quite understand some of Master's actions.
But he knew that this man would not harm him.
"Go back first. From today on, you will come to Qihua Tower to practice martial arts at this time every day. After you go back, you will do the horse step for an hour."
Although he was very satisfied with the disciple's performance, Li Xiang's expression did not change at all. Strict teachers produce great disciples, and as a teacher, if he is kind to his disciples, he will actually harm his disciples.
If you want to be distinguished in front of others, you will definitely suffer in the future.
Only by constantly practicing, practicing, and practicing again can you truly become stronger.
How can we have the power to conquer heaven without experiencing hellish torture!
"Yes." Song Qing nodded slightly, bowed, and turned to leave.
"Master Li, there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere in Beibo City recently. We found that there are more people from many sects, and the Lingxi sect last time was just one of them."
At this time, Zhong Can came over and spoke hesitantly.
Having been in the gang for more than ten years, he is a well-deserved old member of the Qingzhu Gang. It is precisely because of this that he vaguely feels that the recent situation is not good.
Each of those sects is a giant to Beibo City. If they turn over, all the forces in the city will be shaken.
Especially when Mr. Li offended that person from the Lingxi Sect, he felt that something was not good.
"Let's do this. You should take good care of the industry we are in charge of. Keep the brothers under control in the past few days. I will go to Mr. Zuo's place to ask about the situation."
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiang decided to go find Zuo Lengchan and have a look.
As the time they spent together increased, the things he knew became more comprehensive and broad. For example, Zuo Lengchan was not just a gangster, but a wealthy family with a martial arts heritage.
A powerful family is actually not much worse than a sect.
If you encounter a problem that you don't understand, you can take the opportunity to ask Lao Zuo for advice, and this opportunity is not too many. It won't be long before the guy will leave Beibo City and return to his family.
Facing Zuo Lengchan's upcoming departure, he is actually not that troubled now.
Now that he has mastered the black evil palm and has achieved a small degree of golden body skill, his strength has greatly improved compared to before, and his overall strength has surpassed the peak period of his previous life.
He had never actually fought, and even he himself didn't know how strong he would be if he went all out now.
Not to mention the threats from others.
"Understood." Zhong Can nodded.
"By the way, what happened to the rare treasures I asked you to collect?" Li Xiang asked suddenly.
Although he is now very strong, he has never thought of stopping his progress.
Because he can become stronger than he is now! Far beyond everyone's imagination!
"We already have some ideas, but in terms of funding..."
Zhong Can was in a dilemma. The world was in short supply of mysterious rumors and rare treasures, but the trouble was that he didn't have enough money. Although Master Li had already given him a lot of money, which of those strange items was not priceless?
Of course, there are some that are cheap, or that ordinary people don't want to get involved with, but those are always in the minority.
"Don't worry about money. You can get as much as you want here."
Li Xiang's expression remained unchanged. Not long ago, Song Qing's father gave him one hundred taels of silver for tuition. He was already short of money, so he didn't show too much humility. He declined the offer several times without success before accepting it.
Of course, he didn't take the money in vain. Although it was nominally for tuition, in fact, the two of them reached some business consensus and cooperation.
For example, the Qingzhu Gang can provide the Song family with some conveniences for some things that are within the operable scope.
For the escort of some goods, it is also possible to send escorts in the form of remuneration.
Compared with some civilians who have never practiced martial arts and use weapons as bodyguards, gang thugs who fight every now and then are undoubtedly more suitable.
Every time he comes back, he can still get a commission from it, which is another huge amount of income.
"Also, it's almost time for the meeting on Jiuchimachi Street. After the shop owners arrive, they can swindle a sum of money. If they can't swindle them, they will try to find some special things. Maybe they can also find some suitable ones.
The mysterious substance absorbed by the Book of Heaven."
Li Xiang touched his chin. As for those merchants who would not be deceived and would not accept the goods, there was no need to keep them. With his current power in Jiuching Street, he could make them unable to do anything here with just one word.
Business.
But this is not his purpose. His idea is to make peace and make money, to achieve a win-win situation, and to solve the problem in a peaceful way, so he should try not to do anything.
…
On October 15th, the weather was sunny.
The sky is a clear blue, and the fiery red sun hangs in the sky, casting bright light.
Beibo City, Jiuching Street, Qihua Building.
A man and woman dressed in luxurious and well-dressed clothes walked in with a smile and were greeted by the guards.
Today is the day when the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, Li Heihu, entertains everyone.
Anyone with a bit of discernment knows that if you want to get around in this three-acre land in Beibo City in the future, you must have a good relationship with this person, so most of them are very generous and actively participate.
As for those who did not participate, it was not because they were self-righteous or did not like this kind of scene, but because they were invited by others.
"As the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, Zhao Gang has been around for more than ten years. In terms of status, strength, and power, he is far from being comparable to the newly famous Li Heihu. Just today, he also publicly invited all the shops on Jiuching Street
Boss, if you don't go, you won't give him face."
A middle-aged man with a slender figure, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and wearing a purple robe said with a smile: "Think about it, what will be the consequences if you don't give face to a gang of cadres? Is Li Heihu scary, or is Zhao Gang more cruel?"
His name is Zhao San, and he is related to Zhao Gang. In terms of seniority, he is still Zhao Gang's third uncle. He usually relies on this junior for a lot of his family's business.
Therefore, when the other party proposed to win over the bosses who were going to the Qihua Building party, he agreed without saying a word and patted his chest.
"To put it nicely, Zhao Gang has been around for decades, so he is just a big boss, but Li Heihu is only a teenager! Can it be the same? Moreover, there was a cadre before the Santanhui who was killed by Li Heihu, Zhao
Gang has such a record?
I heard that some members of the Qingzhu Gang had offended Li Xiang before, and one of them was Zhao Gang's younger brother, but what was the result? Those people were all finished, but Li Xiang had nothing to do with him. Who was more difficult to offend?
Do you need to think about it?”
There are those who support Zhao Gang, and naturally there are those who support Li Xiang. Song Yuanshan has a sneer on his face. Since his contact with Li Xiang, he has become more and more aware of the other person's excellence, and is convinced that maintaining good cooperation with him can help the family move forward.
The key point.
As a member of the group who was also invited to the Qihua Lou banquet, he supported Li Xiang unconditionally.
Sure enough, many people around him who were originally hesitant and wavering suddenly calmed down after hearing his words.
It is true that people surnamed Zhao are not easy to mess with, but how could Li Heihu be a good person? Every flaw must be reported, and killing people without batting an eye has become synonymous with Li Heihu. If they offend Zhao Gang, they may not be able to do business in Jiuding Street or even Beibo City.
But if they offend Li Xiang, whether they can walk out of Jiuching Street alive or not is one thing.
