When Chu Xisheng rushed to the Nan Street Temple Market, he saw a large number of people crowded inside and outside the building of the 'Shenglian Building', and the gate was even more crowded.
However, when the Chu Xisheng brothers and sisters walked together, those crazy gamblers spontaneously moved aside.
At this time, Chu Xisheng's face was already recognized by everyone in the ancient market.
This is a martial arts boss who has risen rapidly in Xiushui County. Not only is he one of the "Top Ten Divine Swordsmen", but he also has thousands of followers under his command. A few months ago, he even brought out nearly 10,000 ninth-grade martial arts cultivators Chen Bing under Xiushui City.
vast.
It is said that just yesterday, this man had become the young banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang, ranking below only one person and above ten thousand people in the Iron Banner Gang.
Today, there are only about twenty people who can rival him in terms of status in Xiushui County.
Chu Xisheng stepped into the door of the Victory Building and looked at the arena in the center.
Liu Ruoxi was seen standing on the right side of the ring with her hands on the two swords on her waist.
The girl's opponent was a man who was as thick as an iron tower.
The two were facing each other with a distance of ten feet, waiting for the referee to give the order.
Chu Xisheng lost interest after just one glance.
The iron tower man was very powerful. He was about 24 or 25 years old, had a cultivation level of the eighth level, had five or six magic weapons, and had dense war patterns engraved on his body.
He was holding a thick-backed sword that was thicker and heavier in his hand, and his aura was particularly powerful.
This person is an unknown master from where he came from, and his combat prowess is at the top among the eighth ranks.
But his opponent is the king of 1/2.
Chu Yunyun walked beside Chu Xisheng and said in a straight voice: "Lu Pingyuan is in charge of the ancient market now. I have expanded his 'original' altar to seventy people. Some of them were scattered in the ancient market.
, while supervising the Nanjie Temple Market, while also spying on news from all directions.
There are a total of 540 red-robed martial artists under Zuo Qingyun, including seven seventh-grade martial arts cultivators and 16 eighth-grade martial arts cultivators. Most of them admire your reputation and character and are willing to stay and serve you. These people can
Organize it into five sub-altars, and wait for you to come back to draw up the list of altar masters and incense masters, and confer their duties."
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but feel happy: "Have you seen all these people? Just give me the list later. Among these people under Zuo Qingyun, who is suitable to be the leader of the altar, and who is not suitable to be the leader of the altar? What are you comparing now?
I know better. Those who are not suitable to manage people should be assigned to the money collector and serve as my personal bodyguards."
Chu Yunyun was speechless after hearing this, but her mood was a little complicated.
Chu Xisheng thought she was not refreshing enough.
But after all, Xishan Hall is the territory that Chu Xisheng conquered with all his strength. Chu Xisheng inherited these people in Nanjie Temple Market from Zuo Qingyun. What qualifications do he have to draw up the list of altar masters on his behalf?
He and I are not really brothers and sisters, nor are we related in any other way——
Chu Yunyun then stopped her thoughts.
She sighed secretly and thought, Qin Muge, Qin Muge, you have always acted directly, neatly and refreshingly in the past.
Why have you become as coquettish as a little lady now?
Just as the two of them finished speaking, the referee on the stage had already thrown out a copper coin.
Chu Xisheng also cast his gaze over.
As the copper coins fell to the ground and made a "ding" sound, the big man from the iron tower swung his sword across them.
He is tall and has long hands, and a thick-backed sword is about six and a half feet long. He can slash Liu Ruoxi who is only one foot away without even stepping forward.
Liu Ruoxi stepped back nimbly to avoid the opponent's blade, and then jumped back, causing the man with the iron tower to stride forward in an attempt to pursue.
But just as Liu Ruoxi reached the end of her leap backwards, her figure flashed forward like a ghost, and the pair of mandarin duck swords at her waist also revealed a streak of snow-white light.
When Liu Ruoxi stopped and stood still again, a stream of blood immediately flowed from the throat of the big man in the iron tower.
He touched his throat in disbelief, then looked at the blood in his hands, and then his whole body fell to the ground like a collapsed pillar, making a 'boom' sound.
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Not bad! With just one knife, she already has three-thirds of my former style. Is her cultivation level going to be advanced soon?"
"We are collecting secret medicine, and we are still missing a few auxiliary materials."
Chu Yunyun looked at Liu Ruoxi attentively, with admiration in her eyes: "She works very hard. She practices martial arts day and night. She is much more diligent than you before. She is also very knowledgeable. No matter what moves she is, she can understand them if others explain them briefly.
You can also draw inferences from one instance.”
This girl's bloodline talent is very similar to hers, but the level of talent is much lower than hers.
What's rare is that Liu Ruoxi is still the daughter of her old subordinate.
So Chu Yunyun valued her extra and liked her extra.
Chu Xisheng curled his lips. He was afraid of being exposed to the sun and could not practice martial arts.
It's not yet the hot summer, and the sun is relatively mild, so Chu Xisheng can practice more during the day.
After a while, the brothers and sisters will have to hold umbrellas again.
But in the dream world, isn't he practicing day and night?
And in the dream world, there is no need to worry about physical strength. He never stops to rest when swinging the sword.
As for his understanding, his understanding is not bad.
Judging from his previous experience in Linhai County's Ninth Grade Secret Realm, his understanding should be considered to be at the level of a genius, but it is definitely not comparable to that of a 1/2 king.
Wang's strongest point is her understanding, analysis and perception of martial arts, not her bloodline talent.
But now he should be able to catch up with Yiduidu. Ever since his supreme psychic power was upgraded to the seventh level, Chu Xisheng could clearly feel that his progress in studying various martial arts has increased sharply.
The power of 'tongxuan' of 'Tongshangshen' can allow him to understand the mysteries of heaven on a deeper level and enhance his understanding.
However, this 'Tongxuan' is very metaphysical. Now, no matter what moves Chu Xisheng sees, he understands them inexplicably and is proficient in their secrets. Many times, there is no foundation or any process.
Chu Yunyun looked cautious at this time and said: "Speaking of promotion and secret medicine, when the small canal is opened, we will have money. I hope you can lend Li Shenshan and Wei Yang another sum of money to let them collect the secret medicine.
, Break through to the seventh level as soon as possible. Recently, I always feel that a storm is coming, the undercurrent is turbulent, and my mind is hard to calm down——"
When Chu Xisheng heard that he had to spend money, he couldn't help but feel his head hurt: "Their cultivation is not enough, right?"
During his trip to Beijing, he seized many powerful magic weapons. Some of them were put into the Xishan Hall treasure house, and some were sold through the Iron Flag Gang's channels. It is estimated that they can be sold for 40,000 taels of magic silver.
The opening of the small canal from Xishan to Shenxiujiang is expected to bring him at least 60,000 taels of magic silver in the first month - and this is net income after excluding all expenses.
But a sixth-grade secret medicine is also very expensive.
A bad one may only cost more than 10,000 points, a good one may cost 30,000 to 50,000 points, and a top quality one may cost as much as 100,000.
The key is that after they are promoted, they have to be given a salary increase——
"Wei Yang's cultivation is close to the sixth level, and Li Shenshan is still far behind."
Chu Yunyun looked confused: "But our Tieshan Qin clan has a secret method that allows them to overdraw in advance and quickly reach the peak of the seventh level. This secret method is close to the magic way, but it does not need to kill people, and the price is only to let them make the next move.
The first stage of practice is a little more difficult, and you need to spend a lot of money to buy medicine.
I have carefully calculated that the cost of each application is about 130,000, which is very cost-effective. You don’t have many reliable combat forces under your command. If you can get two more low-level sixth-grade masters at this time, you will be able to deal with Xishan Hall and the Iron Banner Gang.
Both are of great benefit. Especially these two people both have the 'Ye Wolf Devouring the Sun' and have practiced the best skills among the frontier army. Once promoted, they will have the strength to compete with most of the sixth-grade people in the world."
Chu Xisheng touched the bridge of his nose in distress: "I'll think about it again."
In fact, he had been persuaded by Chu Yunyun.
Chu Xisheng was very concerned about Chu Yunyun's restlessness.
At this time, Chu Yunyun's true energy has recovered a little, and her magic skills are getting better day by day. The bloodline talents she possesses should also be recovering.
At present, her ability to predict bad luck may be better than his.
But he had to get those two people to sign a contract of sale first. Otherwise, if he spent so much money to train these two people, they would run away halfway. Wouldn't it be such a loss?
To Chu Xisheng's relief, there were at least 300 people in the lobby yelling and throwing their betting slips all over the floor.
There are countless people out there who are losing money. The evil thoughts of these people alone have stimulated his Yaizhan Dao Intent to a medium intensity.
Chu Xisheng took one of the white slips in his hand and looked at the odds.
I found out that the dead iron tower man's surname was Ming, and the odds were quite high, as high as 2.9 to 1. No wonder so many people bought him.
It is estimated that Liu Ruoxi can earn him 10,000 to 20,000 yuan from this battle.
"This Nanjie Temple Market is indeed quite profitable."
Chu Yunyun glanced around: "Lu Pingyuan once told me that just for the 160 tables in the Victory Building and the arenas outside, the monthly turnover is estimated to be as high as 110,000. Supporting so many martial artists, 60
After multiple dealers, as well as many servants and maids, there is still a net profit of more than 40,000 yuan.
If there is a life-and-death battle, the profit will be even higher. For example, in this battle, before you finish drawing the battle map, the bet has already reached 40,000 taels of magic silver. The young master from the Jun Cheng family still wants to compete with us.
, since he didn’t have a platform in his hand, he had to put out an additional 30,000 taels of bet. It’s just——”
Chu Yunyun frowned slightly as she looked at the group of people who were sighing and walking out of the casino with expressions as gray as dead wood.
She didn't like the gambling den business.
"You can't close it!" Chu Xisheng looked helpless: "Didn't I send a letter a few months ago to ask you to change the business model? In the future, guests who want to enter the Shenglian Building must come up with three thousand taels of silver notes. We
It does not operate as a banker, but only takes commissions and sells drinks and food. This is not considered a gambling house. There is also an outside arena. All bettors must reach the ninth level of cultivation, and the bet is limited to five taels, so that no harm will be done to the common people.
"
Chu Xisheng knew in his heart that his 'sister' was a very upright person.
If he hadn't spread the news when he was in Xunyang County and changed Zuo Qingyun's rules, Chu Yunyun would probably have closed the Shenglian Building before he returned.
Chu Yunyun squinted at him and finally turned her head: "I didn't say I wanted to shut him down."
Shenglianlou's business model did not touch her bottom line.
Besides, they are quite short of money——
Chu Xisheng wanted to say something else, but he heard Lu Luanli's sneer from upstairs: "Give you the money back? Why? You are the ones who want to fight for the stage, you have staked your own money, and you have chosen the contestant, and now you have lost.
You just want to get your money back? How can such a good thing happen? Fortunately, you are still the sister-in-law of the Jun Cheng family. If you can't afford to lose, don't play, and don't embarrass yourself here."
Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows, strode to the central patio of the building, stepped lightly on his feet, and jumped up like a mantis, leaping up to the fourth floor box with great agility.
The situation here was already tense, and money was being calculated. Lu Pingyuan and all the red-robed martial artists from the Victory Tower had drawn out their weapons.
Only Lu Luanli was still sitting calmly on the table. She held the tea bowl and smiled coldly.
Opposite them were two young men in gorgeous clothes.
One is taller, with a majestic figure and handsome features; the other is thin and small, with a feminine face, like a woman.
There were also thirteen guards standing behind them. They were also holding bright swords and were focused on defense.
Chu Xisheng jumped in from the window railing and glanced at the guards coldly: "Put away your weapons! Otherwise, I will prevent any of you from leaving the ancient market."
The moment he finished speaking, a ferocious beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a jackal suddenly appeared behind Chu Xisheng.
It didn't have any special movements, it just held a sword in its mouth and stared at these people coldly, but it was as powerful as a mountain.
Among the thirteen guards, eight immediately had blood flowing from their mouths and noses.
Their faces turned pale, and while they struggled to hold on, they looked at each other hesitantly.
It wasn't until the majestic young master raised his hand that the guards were relieved and sheathed their swords one after another.
These people were secretly frightened, thinking that the 'Chu Yidao' opposite him really lived up to his reputation.
The opponent obviously did not use all their strength to suppress them with the sword, but they already felt that their minds were cramping, as if they were being crushed, and they were overwhelmed.
When these guards put away their swords, everyone in Xishan Hall, led by Ji Qianqian, also put away their weapons with indifferent expressions.
"What a Chu Yidao! The sword is indeed powerful and majestic."
The majestic young man stood up with a smile and raised his fist towards Chu Xisheng: "I, Yuan Ding, are related to the new county magistrate of this county. Now Yuan is new to your place and wants to make a living in Xiushui County.
Please give me your love, Young Master Chu, and sell me the business of the Nanjie Temple Market at a price you can negotiate!"
Chu Xisheng burst into laughter and looked at this person with a bit of sarcasm: "I heard from my subordinates that you only plan to pay 150,000 magic silver? Of which 100,000 will be paid on credit and repaid in installments."
He didn't have to take control of the Nanjie Temple Market's business.
As long as the price is right, I will sell it.
If you can get a sum of cash and make Chu Yunyun happy, why not do it?
But this guy surnamed Yuan is really thick-skinned.
The monthly net income of this Shenglianlou alone is at least 40,000 yuan. Not only did this person only offer 150,000 yuan, more than half of it was for free.
"Yuan is already very sincere."
Yuan Ding smiled and looked conceited: "I heard that Hall Master Chu had a close relationship with the son of the former county magistrate, and protected him from traveling thousands of miles to the capital, which became a legend in the world. We can also make friends between you and me."
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and said in an unceremonious tone: "Not everyone is qualified to be Chu's friend. Come, please get them out! These people are not allowed to step into the Victory Building in the future. Of course, if
This Young Master Yuan still wants to compete with us, so that’s two things.”
In this life and death competition, Yuanding brought him tens of thousands of taels of income, and Chu Xisheng naturally welcomed it.
Yuan Ding's expression suddenly turned cold, "Hall Master Chu, please don't be so shameless! Do you know who this person is next to me? He is the Young Master Xiahou Shen of the Dongzhou Inspector's Family!"
Chu Xisheng was stunned when he heard this and looked at the gentle-faced young master.
This person was still sitting at the table, eating the snacks on the table with a half-smile.
The so-called "Jin Cha En", formerly known as "Ti Dian Penal Division", is in charge of criminal law matters within a state.
In this world full of martial virtues, the status of an envoy is extremely illustrious. Even if part of his power is divided by the six gates, he is still below the two people in Dongzhou and above ten thousand people.
Chu Xisheng remembered that not long ago, the prefect of this county took the Dongzhou Inspector and helped the Iron Banner Gang to make peace with several families.
Yuanding continued to sneer: "You inherited the Nanjie Temple Market from Zuo Yanei. You didn't spend a penny, so you should be satisfied with 150,000 taels. This industry is not something you can just take if you want.
You can hold it. Offending both of us will do you no good—"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xisheng kicked over the wooden table in front of him, and all the tea and snacks on the table were thrown forward.
The expressions of the guards changed slightly, and they all moved to cover their two young masters.
It's just that Chu Xisheng's movements were too fast and extremely abrupt, and tea was splashed on the faces of Yuan Ding and Xia Houshen.
The tea was not very hot, but both of them were shocked and angry. They glared at Chu Xisheng angrily.
Chu Xisheng looked at them with a smile: "Go away or not?"
A layer of green energy suddenly appeared on Xia Houshen's feminine face: "Destroy him!"
Behind him stood a thin swordsman wearing a bamboo hat. Upon hearing this, this man suddenly flashed like a ghost, creating afterimages.
In just one thirtieth of a snap of his fingers, he arrived in front of Chu Xisheng, and pointed a long and narrow sword directly at the center of Chu Xisheng's eyebrows.
Chu Xisheng's eyes narrowed slightly. When he saw this person's skills, he knew that he was a master whose combat power was only two to three times weaker than Long Heng's. Only his hand speed and body speed were not much worse than Long Heng's.
.
At this time, his right hand was waving like a phantom.
The Xunfeng Thunder Saber immediately came out of its sheath with a 'choking' sound and blocked the opponent's rapier.
Then the two of them continued to fight, each throwing out a blur of white blades in front of them, colliding with each other, and making a series of harsh clanging sounds.
The strength of this man in a bamboo hat was slightly weaker than that of Long Heng, but he was still stronger than Chu Xisheng.
At this time, every time he received five or six swords, he would be forced back half a step by the opponent's sword power.
The two of them fought for more than forty times in an instant, and Chu Xisheng was forced to retreat to the window railing.
Just when Chu Xisheng narrowed his eyes and was about to activate the 'divine intention' behind him and the 'little crew cut' in his body, he heard Ji Qianqian's cold voice say: "If you don't want your young master to die, just give it to me."
stop!"
Chu Xisheng was still on guard, but the sword of the man in the hat was frozen in place.
Just because at this time, Ji Qianqian had already put a knife on Xia Houshen's neck, and another Yuanding was also pressed against the throat by Lu Luanli's knife.
As for the two people's guards, they were already lying on the ground, most of them were seriously injured and unconscious.
The man in the bamboo hat couldn't help but be stunned. Among the twelve guards, four were seventh-level and eight were eighth-level. They were equipped with magical weapons and battle pictures, which were also very good.
Although their overall strength was not as good as Chu Xisheng's manpower in this large box, he expected that they could survive thirty or fifty breaths, which was enough for him to take down the Xishan Hall Master.
But how long has it been now? The two of them exchanged forty-seven blows, and they didn't even take six breaths!
At this time, Xia Houshen's face was as dark as iron.
The knife placed between his neck was so cold that it made his heart beat unsatisfactorily.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and said: "Chu Xisheng, how dare you do this to me? Do you want to die? Believe it or not, I will put you on the black list and be hunted by the court until you die?"
Chu Xisheng laughed dumbly, and took a step forward with a knife in his hand. He seemed to be walking in the direction of Xia Houshen, which made the man in a bamboo hat next to him hesitate a little but did not stop him.
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly appeared.
That was Chu Xisheng's 'Xunfeng Thunder Knife', which was slashing towards the throat of the man in the hat at a speed that was at least 50% faster than before.
The man in the bamboo hat's pupils shrank and he was caught off guard. When he discovered it, the 'Xunfeng Thunder Sword' had already slashed less than two feet in front of him.
"mean!"
While the man in the hat was scolding angrily, he immediately waved his sword to block. With just a hair's breadth, he blocked Chu Xisheng's knife an inch in front of his throat, making a sharp 'clang' sound.
But just when the man in the hat was relaxed, Chu Xisheng's 'Xunfeng Thunder Saber' turned slightly to one side, and a second wave of sword energy burst out instantly.
This sword was so sharp that with one impact, the entire head of the man in the hat was chopped off, and a fountain of red blood rushed out.
When the man in the bamboo hat rolled his head, his eyes were blank and in disbelief.
He wondered why Chu Xisheng was able to gather a second wave of Dao Gang in such a short period of time? How could this be possible?
The man in the bamboo hat immediately felt that something was wrong! It was not the second wave, but the two levels of Dao Gang, but one of them was controlled by Chu Xi's voice and not released.
Chu Xisheng raised the corners of her lips slightly.
So far, this is the first time he has used the ability of Xiaopingtou to fight.
In order to keep the secret of the Yaju spirit beast, he has never used these double swords until now.
The result of this virgin battle made him extremely satisfied.
Whether it's Xiao Ping Tou's 'Double Sword Gang' or its 'Gathering Evil Condensation Gang', as long as they are used, they are enough to win.
At this time, the little flat head nestled in Chu Xisheng's chest was also excited and scurrying around inside her chest.
The first time he assisted Chu Xisheng in fighting and the first time he saw blood made Xiao Pingtou extremely happy.
Chu Xisheng then strode up to Xia Houshen without even looking at the man in the hat.
He looked at Xia Houchen, who was a head shorter than him, with a leisurely expression, and then slapped Xia Houchen on the face.
Xia Houshen felt his head shake, and his whole body was staggered back by the huge force.
Not only was he speechless, he also had no courage to resist.
Yuan Ding, who was next to him, was also trembling slightly, and his lips had lost all color.
This guy in front of me is simply lawless!
Chu Xisheng, the close guard next to Xia Houshen, actually beheaded him at any time!
This person's strength also made Yuan Ding secretly frightened.
This worshiper whom Xia Houshen recruited with a lot of money had a cultivation level as high as the sixth level, and his strength was extremely outstanding among his peers. However, his head was beheaded by Chu Xisheng's sharp knife just because of his carelessness.
Chu Xisheng looked at the two of them with a smile but not a smile: "I will beat you now, can you ask the inspector to send me to the black list to try?"
Xia Hou covered his face deeply and stared at his toes without saying a word.
He had realized that he had far underestimated this guy's strength.
As for sending Chu Xisheng to the black list, he just said it.
Chu Xisheng has nearly 10,000 troops in Xishan, and he is the young banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang. How can it be so easy to send him to the black list?
Even the governor of Dongzhou must be careful when dealing with such a powerful person.
Xia Houchen just wanted to use the power of his father and the county magistrate to see if he could threaten Chu Xisheng into giving in and take advantage of the Nanjie Temple Market.
If you can, the better. If you can't, you can also force Chu Xisheng to hand over a generous gift.
He had always tried hard before. No matter how tyrannical the force was, once he heard about the inspector behind him, even if he refused to give up business, he would still give in.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xisheng had such a domineering personality. Not only did he not give him any face, he even turned against her and killed someone.
"Drag them outside the door and give each of them thirty lashes!"
Chu Xisheng no longer intends to tangle with these two arrogant and ignorant brats. He waved his sleeves and walked towards the door of the box: "Notify their families and ask them to give me a satisfactory explanation to the Iron Banner Gang, otherwise I will send them away
Shen Jiang."
