Chen Zheng, who was about to reach the bottom of his heavenly power and could not ascend to the Xuan level, briefly read through the newly acquired "Thunder Fire Collapsing Fist" and put it away.
Naturally, he planned to earn enough heavenly skills and then confer them with the imperial edict before practicing again.
After the fierce battle just now, he had no intention of sleeping, so he spent the rest of the night in meditation.
Just as it was dawning, there was a knock on the door that broke the silence.
Go and open the courtyard door.
Ji Xunyi was seen standing outside solemnly:
"Brother Chen, I heard that the two killers Black and White Wuchang attacked your place last night?"
Last night, Zhu Xieshi named Yu obviously wanted to report the situation to Qin Weixin. It was not surprising that Ji Xunyi learned about it so quickly. Chen Zheng was not surprised. After welcoming him in, he said:
"Not only Black and White Wuchang, but also the Ghost Dragon of the Blood Path. Black and White Wuchang is the helper he found."
Ji Xunyi, who was already full of doubts, was suddenly shocked:
"Sure enough, there is still this bastard! Where are the others? They escaped again?"
"That's not true."
Regarding Ji Xunyi, Chen Zheng had no intention of hiding the truth, and he couldn't hide it. He said concisely and comprehensively:
"He has died in my hands, but the body has been disposed of and the defense forces have not been informed."
What?
Ji Xunyi was immediately shocked:
"Three great masters of blood exchange, all died at your hands?"
Not to mention Guilong, the left-handed envoy of the Blood Soul Dao.
The two night tower assassins Black and White Wuchang have a notorious reputation. They have assassinated many powerful and powerful people, and their reputation is much greater than that of Ghost Dragon.
Rumors say that these two people have mastered a set of combined assassination techniques, and even dared to assassinate masters who exchanged blood three times. They are definitely not weaklings.
Such three characters came together, and all of them were killed by Chen Zheng. It is simply unimaginable!
"It was just a fluke."
Chen Zheng just smiled:
"Thanks to the great blood-changing elixir that Senior Lei bought for me, I broke through the realm of blood-changing in the past two days, and then these three people came knocking on my door."
It turned out that a blood transfusion was achieved.
Even so, with a newly-replaced body, one against three, killing three famous masters in one fell swoop, this achievement is astonishing enough.
Ji Xunyi's mood was ups and downs, and he sighed deeply:
"Brother Chen's strength and skills are breathtaking. Growing up, I have never admired anyone except my master and senior brother. Now I will definitely count you among them."
Chen Zheng laughed:
"Why are you talking about admiration for my friend? I already said it was just a fluke. If it hadn't been for Senior Lei's great blood-transforming elixir, you might have ended up in my shoes."
Hearing such a statement for the first time, Ji Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Chen Zheng said helplessly:
"Speaking of which, these demonic bastards are really like tarsal maggots. I wonder if they will be more honest after this ghost dragon dies."
Ji Xunyi smiled and his eyes became serious:
"Brother Chen, with all due respect, the reason why this demon from the Blood Path dares to come to you two or three times is probably because he sees that you have no background, so he is so unscrupulous."
Chen Zheng sighed:
"Indeed."
He also discovered this.
The advantage of being alone is that you can come and go freely, but when you encounter organized enemies, you are a bit lonely.
It is true that if he is strong enough, any enemy will be a chicken or a dog, but he is still in the silent development stage and obviously cannot do this.
"Brother Chen, I have a suggestion."
At this time, Ji Xunyi thought of something and said:
"If you want to stay here as County Governor of Lingqiu and are not short of money, you can donate money to buy an official status. With this status, not only will it be easier to do things, but those evil and evil thieves will also have scruples.
I don’t dare to act as recklessly as I did last night.”
Chen Zheng's heart suddenly moved: "Donate money to buy an official position? Anyone can do it?"
Ji Xunyi sneered:
"The imperial court has long been in ruins, but it is the huge foundation of the Tianren clan that has kept this rotten frame from collapsing. The powerful people who rely on this big tree have long begun to use their power to sell off their titles and officials for personal gain. You may not yet
You know, whether it's the government office, the Criminal Division, the Evil Executioners, or the Defense Force, there are places for sale in these places.
Of course, what they sell for takeout are ordinary seats where there is no profit to be gained, and the position is not high, and there is no deep relationship with them and they are not accessible at all. If you are interested, I can ask the master or him to ask for you.
"
Chen Zheng's thoughts flashed and he said:
"I am indeed somewhat interested. Can you please ask Brother Ji and Senior Lei for me?"
The Guangwu Celestial Dynasty had a vast territory, and Lingqiu County was relatively prosperous in the border areas, but it was not enough when looking at other regions and states.
Of course, a smaller pool means that there are fewer masters, and development is relatively safer.
His initial plan was to wait here until the exchange of blood was complete, preferably to advance to the level of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, and then go out to pursue the secrets of cultivating immortals.
Based on this calculation, it may take as little as one year, as much as two or three years to develop here.
In this way, if you can get a suitable identity, it will be much easier to do things.
"No problem, I'll mention it to Master later."
Ji Xunyi nodded and glanced at the courtyard which was in a mess and had not yet been repaired:
"Also, after this incident happened, Master asked me to ask you to move back. After all, this place is a bit far away from the martial arts field, so it is difficult to take care of any situation."
Chen Zheng shook his head and was about to refuse, when Ji Xunyi said helplessly:
"Brother Chen, the master also cares about you and issued a death order, saying that if I can't invite you, I will come here in person. How about you give me a face?"
"this"
Speaking of this, Chen Zheng was also dumbfounded.
He could ignore other people, but not a respected senior like Lei Yunting. He had no choice but to change his mind and agree.
Just for convenience, at his request, he returned to the compound where he lived before instead of moving next to the martial arts field.
So, having achieved his goal, Ji Xunyi said goodbye and left with satisfaction.
After the other party left, Chen Zheng went to Yahang and found the clerk to explain.
The yard was kept as a spare and he did not need to return it. He just left a sum of money for his workers to find some masons to repair the house and the yard.
At the same time, he found the long-term worker couple and informed them of the change of address.
Then, he went back to pack up his things, moved them back to the previous yard, and personally visited Lei Yunting at the Thunder Martial Arts Center to express his gratitude.
Lei Yunting was naturally amazed by Chen Zheng's deeds of killing all the enemies with one against three.
He also promised to find out a few important positions for him and solve any future troubles.
Afterwards, he was left to have lunch before Chen Zheng was able to say goodbye and leave.
By this time it was already afternoon.
Chen Zheng went back to his residence, changed his outfit after coming out, and then went straight to Wushi.
Wu City, Lingding Chamber of Commerce.
In the splendid hall, a wealthy man wearing a purple and gold robe was standing at the door, frowning at the door of a chamber of commerce not far across the long street, frowning:
"How come the number of customers at Jinyuan Chamber of Commerce has increased so much in the past few days? I heard that they got three sets of top-quality fine gold inner armor from nowhere. Is this true or false?"
Next to him, a man who looked like a shopkeeper said carefully:
"Back to President Liu, I've asked about it. It should be true. Many of the passengers that have appeared in the past few days are going to this inner armor. I heard that the Jinyuan Chamber of Commerce is planning to hold an auction.
, fry things at a good price."
"snort!"
President Liu Yansong looked unhappy:
"This month, it seems that everything we have here is just a small fight. We have a lot of channels. We have a lot of channels. Why haven't we collected good things of this level? As for reputation, the more it increases, the weaker we will be.
, how can we compete with them in the ring if this continues!?"
"Yes yes yes"
Several waiters peeked in secretly, but the shopkeeper lowered his eyebrows and accepted the punishment honestly, keeping silent and not daring to get into trouble with the president.
The large chambers of commerce in Lingqiu County can be counted with one hand, and their Lingding Chamber of Commerce counts as one.
But there are also other large chambers of commerce in Wu City, which are always full of competition.
Network, fame, credibility, and capital are the basic elements that constitute strength, and fame is a particularly important amplifier.
With the same strength, fame can gather more connections and attract more business opportunities. Middle-to-high-grade weapons, elixirs, and armor are relatively common in the market, but if you have top-grade treasures, you will undoubtedly expand your fame.
The best tool.
Of course, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and such treasures are not something that can be expected, it all depends on luck.
"Okay, just watch from here, I'm going up!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper remained silent and scolded Liu Yansong, he also lost interest.
Out of sight and out of mind, he stopped looking at his opponent in the bustling city. He walked back to the hall and climbed the stairs with a flick of his sleeves.
At this moment, a tall and wild figure wearing a cloak and a golden sword walked in.
He was a plain-looking man, wearing a turban and with several scars running across his face. From his appearance to his aura, he gave people an extremely fierce and oppressive feeling.
Master!
And at least he is a great master who has changed his blood!
This type of master is definitely a customer who needs special attention. Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper who had just received training immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face:
"This guest, are you buying or selling? What do you need?"
However, the visitor just glanced at him sideways:
"I have big business to do with your Chamber of Commerce, come and talk to me in a meaningful way!"
This behavior was so arrogant that the shopkeeper was suffocated and was about to speak when he saw that the president Liu Yansong, who had not yet left, became interested. He quickly walked down the stairs and greeted him with a smile:
"Your Excellency, please take a seat. Please take a seat. I am Liu Yansong, the president of the Lingding Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what your name is. Do you have any big business to take care of my store?"
"President? That portion is enough."
The scarred man nodded with satisfaction and came to the table to do the following:
"Don't worry about what I call you. I have a few weapons here. You can take a look and estimate the price. I'll sell them to you if they suit you."
Hurrah! As he said that, he lifted up his cloak, and three sheathed swords and weapons, as well as a broken sword, fell on the coffee table.
Um?
Liu Yansong's heart moved, and he tentatively stepped forward to ask. After receiving permission, he took a long sword and gently pulled it out.
clang
Following his movements, a cold light poured out like mercury.
It was a black long sword three fingers wide and three feet long. But what was unusual was that this long sword had a cold light. When the sword blade vibrated, the surrounding dim light distorted the vision, making people feel a vague sense of discomfort.
Real feeling.
Excellent!
The shopkeeper next to him was immediately overjoyed, and Liu Yansong’s eyes also shone:
"What a superb sword! Do you want to get rid of this thing?"
The high-end weapons on the market in Lingqiu County are almost monopolized by Qianbing Pavilion and Fenghuo Hall, and demand exceeds supply.
If this weapon can be accepted by the Chamber of Commerce and a powerful buyer is found, both profit and fame will definitely be gained!
But the scarred man only smiled: "You should read it first and then talk."
Liu Yansong was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled out the remaining swords one by one.
I saw the sound of gold and iron as the sword was unsheathed, the blade of the long sword was like a mirror, the long sword was like a rainbow, and all of it was icy cold. Just touching the blade made my hair stand on end, and it stung as if the blade was cutting the skin.
There is no doubt that these are also top-quality, or close to top-quality weapons!
Even the broken sword, Liu Yansong looked at it and found that it was a genuine and exquisite weapon, but he didn't know what weapon it was cut off by.
Four top-notch treasures!
The shopkeeper's face was full of surprise.
Even though Liu Yansong was well-informed as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he was a little shocked at this moment. He raised his head and looked at the scarred man:
"Sir, do you want to use these four weapons?"
"certainly."
The scarred man looked calm, as if he didn't care about the four exquisite weapons on the table:
"How about it? How much can your chamber of commerce produce? Can you afford it?"
This is definitely a big deal. Liu Yansong took a deep breath and said eagerly and cautiously:
"Our Lingding Chamber of Commerce can naturally eat it, but I dare to ask you where these weapons came from."
"origin?"
The big man with the scar squinted his eyes:
"I'm just running errands for others. I guess I got it from the bandits. Why, your chamber of commerce doesn't dare to take it?"
What a vicious man, but he is just running errands for others?
What person or force can treat such a person as an errand boy?
Immediately feeling the mystery of the other party, Liu Yansong's eyes twitched slightly, and he still said very politely:
"Of course I dare to accept it. Don't mind, I'm just asking."
Wu City is a mixed bag, and there are even some thieves and thieves who sell stolen goods here. Whether they are Lingding Chamber of Commerce or other chambers of commerce, they have basically done business in this area.
But I have never seen someone as generous as this scarred man.
As for the origin of what the other party said, just listen to it.
"Just accept it if you dare."
The scarred man nodded:
"Okay, I'm in a hurry, how much can your chamber of commerce offer? If the price is good, there will be business to take care of your chamber of commerce in the future!"
What is the background of this guy?
Liu Yansong and the shopkeeper looked at each other, and they became more and more surprised: "Guest, please allow us to carefully identify the estimate, can you?"
The big man waved his hand:
"Okay, I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Don't wait if you're late!"
The posture is domineering and domineering.
However, the more this happened, the more Liu Yansong was sure that this person was a big deal. He immediately did not dare to neglect him and found an old man from the back hall to carefully screen him together.
After a while, Liu Yansong, who had finished the appraisal and discussion at the side, came to the scarred man again and said very politely:
"Distinguished guest, among your four weapons, three are in good condition and two are knives. The swords are genuine and top-grade weapons with good quality; but the other sword is of inferior quality and belongs to the top grade.
It is a high-quality product, but it has not yet reached the rank of top-notch products.
As for the broken sword, although the quality is not bad among the best, it was seriously damaged after all. Even if it was repaired, it would not be as good as before, and its value would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, we are willing to pay 2,400 gold baht to package the purchase, what do you think?"
