Chapter 78 77 Another Winter

Chapter 78 77. Another Winter

Black market, gate, nameless pavilion.

Li Yuan grabbed the market entry registration book and looked at it carefully.

This book is in triplicate.

There is a check and registration at each entrance to the market. After registration, the goods are first put into the warehouse instead of being put on the market. Then, before nightfall that day, the errand boy will compile the registration of the five markets into a book and hurriedly submit it to Master Li for review.

The goods can be put on the market only after Master Li's review.

But most of the time, Master Li just glanced at it hastily, without looking carefully, and just ticked it with a red pen.

So, the goods on the registration book in Li Yuan's hand at this time were put on the market only this morning.

If he came earlier, he would know what goods could be put on the market today.

At this time, Li Yuan's eyes searched quickly, and his fingers flipped through them leisurely.

He wanted a few things.

First, a ninth-grade monster.

The selection criteria for monsters are docile personality, good at reconnaissance, and extremely difficult to be discovered. If possible, he would also like to add "tank type", "can provide assistance and housekeeping services", etc.

He had had enough of the pain of not having "eyes", especially when he was trying to kill Senior Brother Ren, he could only hide in the woods to wait for him.

Second, the eighth-grade monster meat.

He needed the eighth-grade monster meat to stimulate the shadow blood, so as to cover some places that the ninth-grade monster meat could not reach, to help him break through.

But there were few channels for the eighth-grade monster meat. Apart from providing it to the sect master, deputy sect master, and elders, there was no other.

Now he could only hope that some eighth-grade monster meat would leak out of the black market.

Third, skills.

He also found that "archery", "tracking", "taming beasts", and "gunmanship" were all basic skills, which could be used as "stepping stones" to allow him to practice other higher-level skills, but they were not considered special skills.

The three styles of the Spring and Autumn Sword, "Spring Thunder", "Awakening of Stings", and "Tengyuan", could be integrated into one and transformed into a new skill after practicing to the end, which was something that ordinary skills did not have.

He wanted to see if there were any high-level skills. If his realm was stuck, he would expand the channels by practicing skills to help himself reach the conditions for promotion.

Fourth, the technique.

Since he had two kinds of shadow blood in his body, he wanted to try whether it was possible to practice the third one.

But this thing was probably not available for sale, so he could only think about it, or see if there were other opportunities.

However, he didn't want all the techniques. His selection criteria had follow-up methods, not like the "Hui Liu Gong", which had no follow-up after practicing the ninth level.

Although the teacher said that he could create it himself, he was still self-aware. He couldn't create a technique now.

Li Yuan flipped through it carefully.

After looking around, he put the book down silently.

Sure enough, his luck was not so good, and he didn't have anything he wanted.

Master Li glanced at him and said, "No one you like?

It doesn't matter. After a while, the spoils from the Wei family will be counted and many will be released.

You can come to my place every now and then. As long as it helps you practice, Master will open a convenient door for you."

For Master Li, inheritance is particularly important.

His injury is difficult to recover. His lifelong wish is to watch this disciple grow up and watch him draw new "Soul-spitting Kung Fu" and "Spring and Autumn Knife".

Only on that day, a heavy burden in his life will be put down.

"Thank you, Master."

The days that followed suddenly became regular for Li Yuan, and the flow of time became faster.

Being cautious, low-key, modest and polite prevented him from provoking enemies inexplicably. With the domineering Senior Sister Zhao and the protective Master Li around, he could practice and grow comfortably under this big umbrella.

Compared to him, the original Wei family's three quarters were in a mess. The Sun family would never allow the Blood Blade Sect to dominate. Only fools would not understand the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold", so the Sun family desperately united with the remnants of the Wei family, provided various secret support, and began to destroy crazily by any means.

The twelve martial arts halls encountered a lot of troubles. Li Yuan didn't know how many fights had occurred in the middle. He only knew that the Blood Blade Sect had many casualties and some martial arts halls could not be opened.

The Blood Blade Sect tried its best to train disciples, but under such open and secret struggles, the losses of the disciples could not be compensated by new disciples.

Therefore, recruiting tributes became the only choice for the Blood Blade Sect.

The sect began to relax the requirements and recruited seventh- and eighth-grade tributes from outside the county.

In fact, many wild warriors were willing to settle here.

First, they could have a stable place to stay;

Second, the improvement of their status would allow them to enjoy themselves unscrupulously;

Third, the stable ninth-grade monster meat could save them a lot of trouble. Although it was not eighth-grade, it was already good.

The arrival of this group of people certainly improved the strength of the Blood Blade Sect, but it also planted the seeds of unrest.

Li Yuan didn't care about these. He took advantage of the Blood Blade Sect's lack of people and asked Yu Mao to quietly recommend Qian Da to join.

Qian Da had an extraordinary physique, very different from ordinary people, and a clear mind. It was no problem for him to join the sect. He became an outer disciple directly, and then was transferred to Yinxi by Li Yuan to practice the swordsmanship of the Blood Blade Sect.

Qian Da was extremely grateful to Li Yuan, and he was even more loyal because he knew that he was branded by Li Yuan. Qian Si and Qian Wu continued to maintain the job of transporting prey.

But now. Li Yuan no longer charges for these prey, but directly supplies them to Hengwu Restaurant.

Summer is gone and autumn is here, when the leaves fall.

The farmland in the countryside showed sparse golden color.

Poor harvest!

Still poor harvest!

Despair enveloped many people's hearts, and the miserable situation in the world was hard to describe.

The price of grain and wine continued to remain high, and merchants hurriedly hoarded a new batch of grain, waiting for a while to make a fortune again.

Hengwu Restaurant opened a porridge shop, providing free relief porridge, and the target audience included not only beggars, but also many refugees and some people who were about to starve to death.

Autumn passed, and it was the winter solstice.

The Blood Knife Sect began to show slight turbulence everywhere because of the addition of fresh blood.

The past order was well-organized, and some of it was broken. From the perspective of the warriors, oppression from below, bullying of men and women, etc. began to occur from time to time.

Li Yuan didn't care about these, and he guarded the three-point land of Yinxi, and lived a stable life, only in the inner city, Yinxi, and the black market.

In the black market, he would come every evening, bring some tea or wine to Master Li, and then look at the market entry register to know in advance what goods would be on the market the next day, so as to select the items.

Once he found the target item, he would not reveal it, and Master Li would not ask him.

Li Yuan would change into a three-piece suit, put on a mask, put on a cloak, hide a short knife in his sleeve, and quickly come to the black market to buy early the next morning.

It is worth mentioning that he would occasionally miss the monster meat, and occasionally show his face to buy some unrelated things. At the same time, he prepared seven different styles of three-piece suits, as well as abdominal fattening suits, high-heeled boots, beards, long hair and other items.

Many people in the black market wear masks, so his dress is also very normal.

In the past, he might not have so much money.

But now, his economy is supported by the boss lady, enough to buy the items he likes.

Eighth-grade meat, very rare.

But because of the market entry registration book, he could know in advance what goods would be on the market today, so he grabbed them quickly, coming and going like the wind.

Over time, he could earn 60 to 70 kilograms a month at least, and up to 100 kilograms at most.

Time flew by, and it was the coldest day of the twelfth lunar month.

The snow was like a python, shaking and shattering, shaking millions of silver scales, sweeping across the sky and yellow earth, and running back and forth in the streets and alleys of Shanbao County.

Lady Yan and the proprietress were wrapped in white furs, looking at the snow and appreciating the plum blossoms.

The broth stewed on the stove had already made a "beep" sound, which made people feel warm and cozy.

Li Yuan sat alone under the eaves of the study in the inner courtyard, watching the icicles of different lengths hanging from the eaves, and then being broken by the wind and falling to the ground.

He had a hunch.

The breakthrough was today.

After today, he would officially enter the seventh rank, directly achieve great perfection, and become one of the strongest people in Shanbao County.
