Chapter 109 Changes
"Brother, don't be discouraged. I have been training hard for nearly three years to break through the barriers! Everyone thought that my potential had been exhausted.
As a result, I have accumulated a lot of experience and have achieved great success late in life! You might also be one of those people who will achieve great success late in life." Qin Ziling saw Zheng Xinghan's gloomy expression, and suddenly thought of the Nine Transformations Blood Essence Bone Strengthening Secret Pill stored in the storage ring, and spoke to comfort him.
"Haha, you don't need to comfort me. I have let it go two years ago. Besides, what else can I do? In my current situation, even if I can get help from wild beasts that match the Cold Iron Palm technique, there is only a small chance that I can successfully condense my energy.
"It's a wild beast! Even Master Zuo has to risk his life to catch it, let alone me?" Zheng Xinghan shook his head.
"Wild exotic beasts?" Qin Ziling subconsciously looked towards the direction of the Wuyang Mountains when he heard that.
"Master Zuo probably hasn't told you that we need secret medicine to condense our strength, right?" Zheng Xinghan asked, and then continued without waiting for Qin Ziling's answer, "It is said that the strange beast has a trace of blood from the ancient mythical beast. With this trace of blood, we can increase the success rate of condensing our strength and improve the quality of our strength.
Therefore, most of the secret medicines that can break through the entry level are made of the blood and flesh of exotic animals. Those who don't know how to refine secret medicines can directly eat the blood and flesh of exotic animals. Those who know how to refine secret medicines can add some other precious medicinal materials to refine secret medicines with better effects.
But hunting exotic beasts is a very dangerous thing. Generally, big families and sects will organize strong people to hunt exotic beasts to create talented disciples. And people like us who have no background and no connections will definitely have no one to help us hunt exotic beasts. In this case, we can only eat the flesh and blood of domesticated exotic beasts.
The first time I tried to break through, Master Zuo gave me half a domesticated Xuanhan Iron Chicken, but I failed. The second and third attempts required me to buy them myself, after all, Master Zuo's family was not wealthy, and he needed to supplement a lot of meat and medicinal materials every day just to maintain his own blood and energy.
You have seen the result. I have wasted half my life and not only have I failed to enter the realm of a powerful martial artist, I have also not accumulated much money. Now I dare not have any more unrealistic thoughts.
But Ziling, you don't have to worry about the secret medicine of the beast's flesh and blood. You have broken through from the cowhide level to the iron skin in half a year. You are definitely a rare martial arts genius. Moreover, you have a steady personality and value friendship. You are many times stronger than Nangong Yue. Master Zuo will definitely spare no expense to cultivate you. "
Speaking of the latter, Zheng Xinghan couldn't help but show envy on his face.
Qin Ziling smiled and said nothing.
The three of them traveled all night until they were completely far away from the dilapidated Taoist temple, and then they found a shabby house in a deserted village to rest.
This time, Qin Ziling didn't need to speak, Zheng Xinghan and Mu Xuan took the initiative to say, "Let's go pick up some branches and firewood."
"Haha, let me go. You guys clean up the place." Qin Ziling laughed and quickly left the house.
"I never thought that Junior Brother Qin is so talented!" Zheng Xinghan sighed. This time, he was not in the mood to do anything.
"Yes, that Nangong Yue still thinks he is so great. He provokes and bullies him every day, but he doesn't know that Junior Brother Qin is lenient with him for the sake of Master Zuo. Otherwise, even if a few more of them come, they will not be enough for Junior Brother Qin to deal with." Mu Xuan said.
"Yes, it's only because of Master Zuo's consideration. Otherwise, with Junior Brother Qin's viciousness, Nangong Yue would have been dead long ago." Zheng Xinghan nodded.
"You mean, Junior Brother Qin will kill Nangong Yue?" Mu Xuan shuddered when she heard that.
She was naturally cheerful and simple. No matter how proud and domineering Nangong Yue was, in her eyes, they were still fellow disciples. She was just annoyed and disliked him, but she never thought about it in that way.
"People's patience is limited. Nangong Yue can still jump around now, that's because he hasn't touched Junior Brother Qin's bottom line. If he really touches the bottom line, do you think someone like Junior Brother Qin will be polite to Nangong Yue just because of this fate of being a fellow disciple?
Therefore, I can only hope that Nangong Yue will be more sensible, otherwise he will die without knowing how one day!" Zheng Xinghan said, and the calm and ruthless way Qin Ziling killed the enemy just now appeared in his mind, and he inexplicably felt a chill rising from his back.
"This damn weather is really cold. It hasn't been this cold in previous years." Mu Xuan subconsciously hugged her arms tightly. She always felt that this broken house was leaking air on all sides, and the wind blowing in was chilly.
"Are you cold? Come here, let me warm you up!" Zheng Xinghan opened his arms when he saw this.
"Stop it and clean up the room quickly!" Seeing this, Mu Xuan rolled her eyes at him and dodged away.
Zheng Xinghan shook his head helplessly and helped clean up the house.
Qin Ziling soon brought in a large pile of firewood.
The three of them lit the fire.
The room suddenly became brighter and warmer.
The three of them prepared some food using the firewood.
After eating, Qin Ziling opened the package, which contained things looted from Ni Shen and other bandits from Xueyun Village.
Qin Ziling put aside some poison darts, unknown medicinal powders and other things and said, "You probably won't need these things. They are my extra rewards for killing more enemies. Let's count the money and divide it equally among the three of us."
Zheng Xinghan and Mu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this.
Although they didn't look closely at the money Qin Ziling poured out just now, they could still roughly estimate that it was at least a thousand taels.
The three of them divided it equally, with each person getting at least three hundred taels.
Three hundred taels is a considerable fortune not only for Mu Xuan, but also for Zheng Xinghan.
"No, no. If it weren't for you this time , we would all have died. In fact, it was you who saved us." But soon, Zheng Xinghan and Mu Xuan withdrew their gazes and shook their heads repeatedly.
"What are you talking about? We are a team this time, and we should face the outside world with one voice. Brother Zheng, you are the team leader, so you should get a bigger share. But when I think about it, you will definitely not agree , so I proposed to split it equally." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
After saying that, he counted the silver and money, and then divided it into three parts without saying anything. He took one part for himself and gave the other two to Mu Xuan and Zheng Xinghan.
"I heard that the Anchen Hall in the inner city has a secret Tianji Bone-Repairing Ointment that can heal people's tendons and bones, but it's very expensive. I would feel guilty taking this money. Why don't you use it to collect some more money to buy a dose of Tianji Bone-Repairing Ointment for Liu Xiaoqiang. It's always good to be able to recover a little. It can also be regarded as a little thought from my senior brother, and it can also save you some burden." Zheng Xinghan pushed the money back.
"Haha, Liu Xiaoqiang has recovered." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"He has recovered?" Zheng Xinghan and Mu Xuan widened their eyes when they heard this.
Liu Xiaoqiang was seriously injured. According to Zuo Le, he would need at least three sets of ointments, which would cost more than one thousand taels of silver.
More than a thousand taels of silver, even Zheng Xinghan couldn't take it out all at once.
And if we really talk about it from a utilitarian point of view, these days, more than a thousand taels of silver can buy the lives of many people. Who would be willing to spend it on a reckless man?
Zheng Xinghan felt that handling the more than three hundred taels of silver was too much and he couldn't afford to lose face for his senior brother, so he found an excuse to push it back.
In fact, it would take Zheng Xinghan a lot of hard work to earn this amount of money, and he would be very jealous just looking at it, let alone more than one thousand taels.
As a result, Qin Ziling had secretly spent more than one thousand taels to cure Liu Xiaoqiang.
"Yes!" Qin Ziling smiled, pushed the silver back, and said, "Brother, don't worry about me. Don't forget, I am also an iron-skinned martial artist now."
Zheng Xinghan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. You are much stronger than me now, and it will be much easier for you to make money, so I won't be polite to you."
After saying that, Zheng Xinghan simply put the silver and money away, and signaled Mu Xuan, who was still hesitating, to put away the silver and money as well.
Mu Xuan then happily put away the money.
For Mu Xuan, three hundred taels is definitely a huge fortune.
…
Outside the East City, the official road.
Qin Ziling and the other two were hurrying on their way, carrying baskets of medicine on their backs.
In the distance, a simple fortress stood in front of us, with arrow towers on both sides of the fortress.
Soldiers wearing armor and holding swords and guns were guarding the pass.
"What's going on? When we came out, there didn't seem to be this fortress here? Could it be that the bandits have become more rampant recently and dared to cause trouble near the city?" Mu Xuan asked in surprise and confusion.
"It shouldn't be that serious. The Blood Cloud Village and the like are just hiding in the deep mountains and forests. The terrain is complex and dangerous, so they dare to commit crimes again and again. But in terms of military strength and real strongmen, they are still far behind the government.
They would never dare to commit a crime so close to the city, otherwise they would really anger the county governor, who would spare no expense to send troops to encircle and suppress them, and Xueyun Village would probably be in great trouble. "Zheng Xinghan shook his head and said.
"There's nothing to guess about. We'll know when it's over." Qin Ziling smiled.
"That's right." Zheng Xinghan and Mu Xuan nodded and smiled.
