Chapter 102 Pulling Out Teeth From the Tiger’s Mouth
Lu Yan was originally very confident, carrying two hundred kilograms of shellfish, and felt that he would definitely be among the top two, but now he felt that this was not necessarily the case.
The Zheng family has already abolished the four great master-level clans. Even if they are purchased at a high price, it is not a cause for concern.
But the other three grand master-level clans have already obtained a lot. If they buy it at a high price, it is not difficult to get more than 200 kilograms.
Gao only looks at the results and doesn't care about the process.
"It seems that we can only go back to the city first and then think of another way."
Lu Yan's face was filled with sorrow.
It is unrealistic for him to buy it at a high price to imitate others. If he does this, he will probably be targeted by the four great master-level clans immediately.
He was not afraid of Wu Hou's first level, but what about the second and third levels.
This method is only suitable for master-level sects, not others.
"Thank you guys."
Lu Yan clasped his fists, then walked far away from Qiu's banner area, along a trail, and prepared to return to the city.
"Brother, please wait a moment."
From the side, someone shouted, and several figures came over.
There were men and women, and judging by their clothes, they were clearly from the Qiu family.
Lu Yan frowned slightly, then turned sideways, smiled, and said, "Guys, what are you doing?"
"Brother, we are the Qiu family in Da'an. We are buying shellfish at a high price, 30% higher than Zheng's price. A pound of shellfish costs 130 taels of silver. I see that brother is carrying a bamboo basket, so there should be shellfish. , why not sell it to us.”
A chubby middle-aged fat man said with a smile and a rich look on his face.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I just couldn't find a few shellfish, so I can't sell them even if I want to."
Lu Yan said depressedly.
He has strong Qi and blood and strong strength. Even with two hundred kilograms of shellfish on his back, he feels light and weightless.
"You didn't find the shellfish and you still carried two bamboo baskets?"
The fat man narrowed his eyes and said, obviously not believing it.
Lu Yan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I heard that shellfish cost one hundred taels of silver per catty. I thought the opportunity to make a fortune had come. No, I was afraid that one bamboo basket would not be enough, so I carried two bamboo baskets to pick up the silver. I didn’t expect it, hahaha, it’s funny.”
He looked so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Fatty and others couldn't help but believe it, but they still refused to give up and said: "My nose is very good and I can smell the faint fragrance of shellfish. You should have some. It's useless to keep it. Sell it to us."
Lord Wuhou said, buy as many shellfish as possible, and you will be rewarded for the more.
"It's really only a few yuan, and it can't be sold for much money. I plan to keep it as a souvenir."
Lu Yan said.
"Why don't you open the bamboo basket and let us check it? It's just a few pieces."
Fatty said.
"Yes, open it and let me check it."
A beautiful woman in her twenties, nearly 1.8 meters tall and with a plump figure came over and wanted to lift the lid of the bamboo basket.
"Hey, you guys, why are you forcing me?"
Lu Yan sighed inwardly.
bump!
Lu Yan blasted the beautiful woman's chest with a palm, and her body flew backwards for more than ten meters, hitting a boulder and losing her breath.
Then he punched the fat man on the forehead. The fat man's forehead suddenly sunk in, and his round head was completely deformed, like a round ball of dough that had been hit by a big hammer.
"you"
Just as the remaining two people were about to scream, Lu Yan punched them in the waist one by one, and the four corpses flew dozens of meters away.
There was no time to dispose of the body. Qiu's large army was not far away. Lu Yan held the bamboo basket in his arms and rushed into the place where the sea breeze roared.
More than a day later, Lu Yan returned to the inn in Nanyi City.
At this time, there are still five days left before the time to hand in the shellfish.
Not long after Lu Yan returned to Nanyi City, various sects also returned to Nanyi City one after another.
Several great master-level clans did not give up on purchasing shellfish, and continued to send people to look for people who had been to Linchuan Cliff, and purchased them at high prices, even 50% higher than Gao's price.
And then, a piece of news came like a hurricane in Nanyi City.
The Zheng family, a grandmaster-level clan leader, suffered a huge loss at Linchuan Cliff. Dozens of warriors who broke the restrictions were killed, and even a Wuhou was killed, and all the shellfish were plundered.
Many people are surprised, who is so bold and dares to rob and kill the grandmaster-level clan?
Finally, they all turned their targets to the other three grandmaster-level clans.
Only grandmaster-level clansmen have such courage, right?
But soon it was discovered that something was wrong. The Zheng family searched for the murderer all over the city, but the target was not the other three grand masters.
This makes this matter even more mysterious, and there are different opinions.
But the protagonist in this matter was thinking about how to get more shellfish and get the qualification to buy the Jade Bone Tiger.
But now, most of the shellfish fall on a few grandmaster-level sects. If you want to get more shellfish, you can only pull out the teeth.
Lu Yan summoned Li Quan.
"Li Quan, can you find out how many Wuhous from the Qiu family, Ouyang family, and Li family came to Nanyi City, and their specific cultivation realms?"
Lu Yan asked.
Li Quan thought for a while and said: "There are many people from the three great master-level clans here, and there is a way to break through the crowd, so it should be okay."
"Okay, find out as quickly as possible."
Lu Yan ordered.
Li Quan was ordered to withdraw.
The next day, Li Quan handed the information to Lu Yan.
There are three Wuhou from each of the three great master-level clans, but the Ouyang family is the strongest. One of the Wuhou is suspected to be at the fourth level of Wuhou, deep into the realm of Wuhou.
The other two are one at the second level of Wuhou and one at the first level of Wuhou.
The Li family and the Qiu family are almost the same, one for each of the first, second and third levels.
"Then let's choose Li first."
Lu Yan whispered.
Without him, the other courtyard where Li rented was the closest.
As night fell, Lu Yan changed his appearance and walked towards Li's villa.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
At the gate, Lu Yan was stopped.
"Please send a message to Li Wenjie, saying that I have shellfish to sell, weighing more than 100 kilograms."
After a pause, Lu Yan added: "I only see Li Wenjie. If it is passed on to the other two Wuhou, I will turn around and leave."
"More than one hundred pounds of shellfish?"
The big man guarding the gate was startled.
He knew that several Lord Wuhou had been buying shellfish everywhere recently, so he didn't dare to neglect them and said: "Wait here for a moment, I will report them right away."
Lu Yan stepped back a hundred meters and waited silently.
Li Wenjie is the one with the lowest cultivation level among the three Wuhou who came here from Li family, and is the first level Wuhou.
Just in case, he distanced himself. If the other two Wuhou came out, he would turn around and leave.
Soon, Li Wenjie received the message.
"You have more than 100 kilograms of shellfish? And you only see me by name?"
Li Wenjie looked thoughtful, and then immediately found the other two Wuhou, Li Wenlong and Li Wenyan.
"Nowadays, there are still more than one hundred kilograms of shellfish. Apart from the three great master-level clans, there is only one possibility."
Li Wenlong tapped his fingers on the table lightly.
"You mean, the mysterious man who robbed and killed the Zheng family?"
Li Wenjie guessed.
"good."
Li Wenlong nodded.
"This person, by name, wants to see me. I don't know why?"
Li Wenjie said.
"It's nothing more than being cautious, lest we join forces to take him down. You can go ahead. It's right at the door anyway. If something happens, we can support you at any time."
Li asked Long Dao.
"Okay, I'm going to explore his background right now. If there are more than one hundred kilograms of shellfish, we'll buy them all, and the Jade Bone Tiger will be safe."
Li Wenjie stood up and strode outside. When he came to the gate, he was stunned as to why Lu Yan had run so far away.
"Brother, are you selling shellfish?"
Li Wenjie walked over and approached Lu Yan.
Li Quan described to Lu Yan the appearance and characteristics of several powerful people named Wuhou.
Lu Yan looked around and confirmed that it was Li Wenjie, then stood still.
"good."
Lu Yan nodded.
"how many?"
"One hundred and fifty pounds."
Hearing this, Li Wenjie's pupils shrank. There were so many, and if he could get them, he would be safe.
"It seems that you are the one who robbed the Zheng family."
Li Wenjie said.
Lu Yan responded in silence.
This person is not very smart. He doesn't understand if he doesn't tell the truth.
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false?" Li Wenjie asked again.
"Do you want to try it?" Lu Yan said.
Li Wenjie's qi and blood surged throughout his body, and his bone strength spread all over his body. He asked, "Can you teach me a few tricks?"
"Of course, please."
Lu Yan waved his hand.
Uh-huh!
Li Wenjie rushed towards Lu Yan like a cheetah and struck out five palms in a row, each one faster than the last.
Lu Yan calmly waved his palms to meet the attack. In an instant, the two of them exchanged five palms and retreated respectively.
"Your Excellency has great skills and your strength is unfathomable."
Li Wenjie praised him, his face solemn.
In the initial fight, he couldn't tell the depth of Lu Yan at all. He even didn't even feel the strength in Lu Yan's body.
"I only have two kilograms of shellfish with me, so I'll give it to you first."
Lu Yan took out a package from his arms and threw it to Li Wenjie.
Li Wenjie opened it and saw that it was all shellfish.
Lu Yan did this naturally to win the other party's trust and increase the success rate of his plan.
"I didn't bring any other shellfish with me. At three moments of ugly time, we can trade in Huanlang Alley for one hundred and thirty taels of shellfish per catty. How about that?"
Lu Yan said.
"Okay, should I go?"
Li asked Jie.
"random."
After speaking, Lu Yan turned around and disappeared into the night.
Li Wenjie returned to discuss with Li Wenlong and Li Wenyan.
"You said he has no bone strength, only energy and blood? Is this person still a limit-breaking warrior?"
Li Wenyan said in surprise.
"Impossible. It is impossible for a limit-breaking warrior to have such strength. This person probably practiced some kind of special martial arts and hid his bone strength, so he couldn't feel it during the fight."
Li Wenjie said.
Li Wenlong nodded and agreed with Li Wenjie's view.
How is it possible for a warrior who breaks the limit to rival Wu Hou?
Even an innate martial body with five times or even six times the energy and blood cannot do it.
Is there anyone who can practice first-class martial arts to the point where human and martial arts become one in five times of breaking the limit?
joke.
"Who is going to trade at three o'clock in the ugly hour?" Li Wenjie asked.
"According to what you said, the opponent's strength is unpredictable. You are only at the first level of Marquis Wu. It is not safe to go here. It is safer for me to go."
Li asked Long Dao.
Not long after Lu Yan left, he returned, hiding in the dark, staring at Li's villa.
Soon, the ugly time is approaching.
A figure walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the Huanlang Alley.
"Only one person, Li Wenlong, failed in his plan."
Lu Yan secretly shook his head.
His plan was to lure both Li Wenlong and Li Wenyan away, then enter the Li family's courtyard and seize the shellfish.
According to the plan, he showed his unfathomable strength, and the other party would definitely send out the strongest people to trade with him, for fear of being cheated.
But there was not much certainty in trying to lure the two of them away.
Failure is normal.
"We can only find Qiu tomorrow."
Lu Yan thought to himself. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Li Wenyan coming out, so he quietly retreated and returned to the inn.
Li Wenlong waited in Huanlang Alley until almost dawn, but no one was seen. Knowing that he had been tricked, he returned to the other courtyard with a livid face.
