When he practiced "Tiger and Leopard Bone Training" for the first time, Wu Yuan consumed fifteen low-grade body tempering pills.
As his strength increased by leaps and bounds, his consumption also increased. For example, in the training that just ended, Wu Yuan consumed a total of fifty-five Body Tempering Pills.
For more than three months.
Wu Yuan went to Qunxing Tower four times and purchased more than two thousand low-grade body tempering pills. Even though he changed his body through the 'Easy Bones' every time, he was obviously still being targeted.
Wu Yuan was not surprised by this. If he were the head of Qunxing Tower, he would probably be curious as well.
At the moment, Wu Yuan only has less than a hundred body tempering pills in his hand, and he will run out of food after practicing three times at most.
"Besides, even if there are more body tempering pills, the effect will become weaker and weaker." Wu Yuan frowned slightly: "We must find higher-level pills as soon as possible."
The Body Tempering Pill is just the most basic auxiliary pill. The so-called good efficacy is only for low-level warriors.
Like Wu Yuan now, his physical fitness is extremely astonishing. Although he is still in the 'strength training' stage, his pure strength is close to that of a fifth-grade warrior.
The energy contained in the Body Tempering Pill is already a bit weak and is not enough for its growth.
"However, even if we find higher-level elixirs, we still don't have enough money." Wu Yuan secretly said, "It's hard to ask the clan leader for help in a short period of time."
For more than three months, before Wu Yuan could speak, the clan leader Wu Qiming came to the house and gave Wu Yuan "two thousand taels of silver."
One thousand taels of them were given on behalf of the family.
The other one thousand taels is part of what Wu Qiming reserved for Wu Yuan from the last "five thousand taels".
call!
Wu Yuan cleaned up all the traces with ease, and quickly returned to his house with an unpredictable figure.
"Home." Wu Yuan glanced at his yard.
Although it was still dark and the sky was still dark, in Wu Yuan's eyes, it was not much different from daytime.
The courtyard wall has been renovated and a layer of blue bricks has been attached. The courtyard gate and internal houses have been renovated. They are far better than when Wu Yuan first arrived.
This is all help from the clan.
"My mother's health has also improved a lot." Wu Yuan said secretly.
Two months ago, before Wu Yuan could find a solution on his own, the family found a way to invite the 'alchemist' from Licheng to treat his mother Wanqin.
It relieved Wu Yuan's worries.
"The patriarch is also under a lot of pressure. The Wu family is not a big family, and there are many places to spend money. If you invite an alchemist to come, it will cost a lot of money, regardless of favors." Wu Yuan thought to himself: "It's not about money.
Don’t bother the clan leader anymore.”
Wu Yuan knew that what he would need for his next practice would be some high-level elixirs and many special treasures.
The cost is so high that not the Wu family can afford it.
"My strength has initially recovered, but it is still not as good as the peak of my previous life, like the 'Strong and Soft Realm'. After several months, it can only be considered as a beginning again." Wu Yuan lightly jumped into the home and settled silently: "But
, Looking at Licheng, there are very few people who can scare me."
"Looking at the entire Middle-earth world, we should not be afraid of those second-rate masters."
The sixth grade is a martial artist.
Fifth-grade warriors are also called 'third-rate masters', fourth-grade warriors are also called 'second-rate masters', and third-grade warriors are also called 'first-rate masters'.
Wu Yuan's simple physical fitness is still worse than that of third-rate masters, but his amazing martial arts skills can greatly make up for the gap in physical strength.
…
When Wu Yuan returned to his yard and lay down in bed before his mother woke up, the lights in the "Wu Family's Ancestral Residence" only a mile away were still on all night long.
Inside the meeting hall.
"Patriarch, there is really nothing we can do. We are trying to collect what we need, but the most we can get is six thousand five hundred taels, and there is still one thousand five hundred taels left." The accountant with a gray beard had a pile of account books in front of him: "Family money
The treasury is completely empty."
"One thousand five hundred taels?" The patriarch Wu Qiming lowered his eyes as if thinking.
"Those bastards from the Liehu Gang are asking for too much. They want a full eight thousand taels. In the past few years, we only paid three thousand taels. This time they are going to force us to death!" A burly man wearing linen clothes stood beside him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Clan leader, otherwise, we won't be friends."
"No?"
Another elegant middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The Liehu Gang is one of the five major gangs in Li city. They are brutal in their methods. Within the scope of their activities, even the Luo family and other wealthy families will pay appropriate amounts of money according to the size of the business, rather than directly dealing with them."
conflict."
"Compared to the Liehu Gang, I, the Wu family, are too weak. If we fight directly, we are seeking death."
"No matter how brutal they are, they are still outside the city. We are inside Licheng. Is it possible that the Liehu Gang still dares to charge into the city?" The man in sackcloth glared.
"Charge the city? The Liehu Gang is not that stupid." Another young man in black robe shook his head and said: "The sect has a vast territory and limited manpower. It can only manage and control the county town. It has many subordinates, villages and towns, and it is unable to control it.
.”
"This gives these small gangs room to survive."
"If you dare to charge into the city, you are challenging the majesty of the sect and will attract the 'Namong Army' to dispatch to suppress you."
Everyone in Middle-earth practices martial arts.
With a sharp weapon in his heart and a desire to kill, a warrior is born to be unruly.
Therefore, it would be too costly to control down to the lowest level. Hengyun Sect had no intention of doing so. It only wanted to control the general situation within the territory and delegate a large amount of power to others.
As long as the small gangs do not expand too much, the sect will not attack them.
"If the cloth village is to be run, it cannot be limited to the city. We have to go to the countryside to each village and collect silkworms in each town, so we cannot avoid the Liehu Gang." Another young man in black robe said calmly: "And if there is a conflict, I will
Wu's two villages outside the city are afraid that they will not be able to save them."
Running a business is a very complicated matter.
If you want to expand your business, you need to purchase silk, cotton and linen, but you also need to produce some of the raw materials yourself, otherwise the overall cost will be too high.
These will inevitably involve operations outside the city.
"But the Liehu Gang is too ruthless." The big man in sackcloth gritted his teeth and said, "We are a cloth shop, not a money shop. This year they want an extra five thousand taels from us. How much money can I, the Wu family, make in a year?"
"This is going to drive us to death!" The big man in linen had his eyes red.
"Dong Yao." The clan leader Wu Qiming suddenly said: "Have you found out? Who is behind the Liehu Gang?"
"I don't know. The Liehu Gang has risen very quickly. The gang leader and several elders in the gang seem to be from outside the city." The elegant middle-aged man said: "It's difficult for us to find out their background in a short time."
"It's nothing more than the county guard, the guard general, the county magistrate and the others." The man in linen snorted coldly.
"Be careful." Wu Qiming frowned.
However, everyone present knew very well that if it was just a small gang with dozens or hundreds of people, it might not have any background.
But like the Liehu Gang, which has grown to thousands of members and is famous throughout Licheng, who would believe it if there is no tacit approval of the big shots in the background?
With three thousand garrison troops, it was easy to disperse a large gang of tens of thousands of people.
It is normal for six hundred Nanmeng troops to defeat one hundred thousand refugees in one battle.
The so-called 'leaders of big gangs' may seem majestic, but most of them are just white gloves used by big shots to make money and do dirty work.
"Clan leader, why don't you ask Brother Yuan if he has a lot of money?" Mr. Accountant couldn't help but said, "It won't be too late to give it to Brother Yuan when the clan is rich."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Wu Qiming.
"no!"
Wu Qiming shook his head and said: "Let's see, we can't keep any penny from the clan's treasury. Prepare five thousand taels of silver and divide it into two parts, one part is three thousand taels, the other part is two thousand taels. I will personally go to the Liehu Gang."
…
Time passes day by day.
On this day, Wu Yuan came to the martial arts academy to practice as usual.
As the fourth in the last 'Martial Arts Competition', he did not participate in several small competitions this year, but among the latest batch of elite disciples, who dares to say that they can beat him?
In Licheng, Wu Yuan was already a well-known 'martial arts genius'.
Dean Zhang Da even personally ordered that the training room belonging to Wu Yuan be provided to him exclusively and will be taken back after the martial arts competition next year.
Just after noon.
"Wu Yuan." His personal teacher 'Huan Xinyan' appeared outside the training room and said coldly: "Your tribe is here to look for you. It seems that there is something very important. They are waiting for you outside the martial arts academy."
"Clan member?" Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you Master Huan, I'll go right away."
Wu Yuan had some doubts in his heart.
During the years of training in the martial arts academy, except for the clan leader and his mother, no clan leader has ever come to the martial arts academy to look for him.
Quickly arrived at the gate of Wuyuan.
One glance.
Wu Yuan saw a few people at the door, an elegant middle-aged man who was anxious and panting, and seemed to be in a hurry.
"Uncle Dongyao." Wu Yuan strode forward to greet him.
Wu Dongyao was one of the only three "xiucai" from the Wu family in Licheng. He was famous for his intelligence and had a high status among the Wu family.
"Wu Yuan, only you can save the patriarch now." Wu Dongyao said quickly.
