Still more than two hundred miles away from the Giant Elephant City, it was already completely dark, but there was no one around, so he could only continue walking forward.
After walking for more than ten miles, a group of strongmen suddenly jumped out of the woods nearby. There were more than a dozen of these strongmen with knives in their hands. The leader said solemnly: "Boy, hand over all your belongings and I will spare your life!"
"
Wu Bei saw that they all had cultivation levels, but the most powerful one was at the fifth level of body tempering, so he was not surprised but overjoyed, and said: "Guys, are you trying to rob me of my path?"
The leader sneered: "Nonsense, if I don't rob you, how can I treat you to dinner?"
Wu Bei jumped off his horse and walked towards the group of people carrying the Cangxuan Sword. The leader swung the steel knife in his hand and said: "Boy, I tell you, don't move, or I will chop you with my knife!"
"call out!"
As soon as the sword flashed, there was a soft sound, and the steel knife in the strong man's hand was cut into two pieces. Wu Bei smiled and said: "Then ask me about the strength of my sword first!"
"superior!"
The leader was startled, then waved his hand, and everyone rushed over, stabbing and slashing.
But in Wu Bei's eyes, their moves were like child's play and not worth mentioning at all.
The sword in Wu Bei's hand danced into a sword light, and the group of people cut off their hands and arms, screaming and retreating.
Putting away his sword, he said calmly: "Hand over all the money you have, or you will die!"
He was short of money to buy medicine. Now if he encountered someone who was robbing him, he would certainly rob them.
These people belonged to a nearby force. They had robbed hundreds of pedestrians here and gained a lot. Seeing how terrifying Wu Bei was, they did not dare to refuse and immediately took him into the woods. There was a carriage in the woods, which they had robbed.
Everything is put in the box inside.
Wu Bei asked them to take out the things and found that there were more than 35,000 gold coins alone and a lot of jewelry.
He immediately asked these people to put their things back in the car and load them up, and then he drove the carriage and continued on his way.
Seeing Wu Bei walking away, the carriage gone, and his hands and arms broken, the group of people looked at each other in silence, and some of them started to cry.
Wu Bei tied his horse to the back of the car and rushed to the Giant Elephant City overnight. When he arrived at the Giant Elephant City, it was already late at night. He then found an inn to stay first and moved his things into the guest room.
After resting for a while, after dawn, he sold all the jewelry and got more than 10,000 gold coins. Adding to what he had on hand, he already had more than 70,000 gold coins.
In the morning, he drove the carriage to the medicinal materials market and began to select medicinal materials. The medicinal materials used for body tempering were relatively expensive. In less than an hour, he spent more than 70,000 yuan and only had a few hundred gold coins left.
Afterwards, he immediately returned to the inn with the medicinal materials and continued his body tempering practice.
With the medicinal materials and the power of Tiangang's sword, his body tempering progressed very quickly. Before it got dark, he had already reached the tenth level of body tempering, the highest level. And the medicinal materials happened to be used up.
After reaching the tenth level of body tempering, Wu Bei felt that part of his suppressed power was released. His physique became very powerful, and the nine-color aura in his martial veins became more intense, circulating in his body.
After walking out of the inn, he was going to eat something.
At the tenth level of body tempering, he no longer needed to ride a horse because he could run faster than a horse. So after eating, he sold the carriage and horse and headed back on foot.
When he arrived at Guandao Master, he walked more than ten meters at a time, walking like flying, and returned to the door of his house before dawn.
After pushing open the courtyard door, he frowned slightly because the light in Lin Xianrui's room was still on.
He knocked twice before coming to the door: "Mom, are you awake?"
When Lin Xianrui heard that it was him, she said, "Han'er, mother is worried and can't sleep."
Wu Bei simply pushed the door open and went in. Lin Xianrui was sitting in front of the lamp sewing insoles for him. He asked: "Mom, what's on your mind?"
Lin Xianrui sighed softly, stopped what she was doing, and said: "You were a Huang-level martial artist before. The leader of the Ghost Fist Sect in the west betrothed his daughter to you and also gave you a betrothal gift. You were supposed to get married next month. But you
I was injured before, so the Ghost Fist Sect broke off the engagement."
Wu Bei: "Just retreat, what's the point?"
Lin Xianrui sighed: "But the person receiving the betrothal gift is the eldest lady, and we have lost nothing. During the day, the Ghost Fist Sect suddenly sent someone to ask for the betrothal gift, saying that if it is not returned, they will come to ask for it."
Wu Bei: "Since it was collected by the eldest lady, go and ask her for it."
Lin Xianrui smiled bitterly: "I went to find it, but the eldest lady refused to admit it. Those betrothal gifts are worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, how can we afford it!"
Wu Bei was silent for a moment and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will take care of this matter. I will go find Chu Changgeng early tomorrow morning!"
Lin Xianrui was a little worried: "Is it useful to find him?"
Wu Bei said lightly: "It's useful!"
Soon after, it was daybreak. Wu Bei once again came to the courtyard where Chu Changgeng lived.
This time there was no one to stop him, he just walked in.
Chu Changgeng got up very early and was practicing boxing in the yard. He was accompanied by several pretty women not far away. These were his newly married concubines, and the novelty had not worn off yet.
The women were praising Chu Changgeng's boxing skills when Wu Bei walked in.
Chu Changgeng frowned slightly, turned to look at Wu Bei, and said, "What are you doing here again? Didn't you say you would come back after breaking through the fourth level of body tempering?"
Wu Bei said calmly: "I have made a breakthrough."
After saying that, he punched in the air, and the power of his fist blasted away the air, forming a loud thunderous single explosion. This was because the punch was too fast, exceeding the speed of sound.
Generally speaking, only those who are above the sixth level of body tempering can perform this kind of "sonic punch". Wu Bei wants to prove that he has surpassed the sixth level of body tempering.
Chu Changgeng looked incredulous and said: "Impossible! In just a few days, you are actually at the sixth level of body tempering! It is impossible for Huang-level martial arts to do this!"
Wu Bei: "Others can't, but I can."
Chu Changgeng looked complicated. He thought for a few seconds and said: "It seems that I have underestimated you. Well, according to the previous agreement, I can give you resources."
Wu Bei: "I need five hundred thousand gold coins. With this money, I can break through the body tempering realm and enter the martial soul realm."
A trace of fear flashed in Chu Changgeng's eyes. He was not very kind to this mother and son. If this son rises, will it affect his status?
His eyes flashed by, and he said: "Fifty thousand is too much. I'll give you fifty thousand first."
Wu Bei: "Fifty thousand is fine. But all the betrothal gifts given by the Ghost Fist Sect were taken away by the eldest lady. Now that the Ghost Fist Sect is asking for it, my mother doesn't know what to do."
Chu Changgeng frowned, of course he knew this. In fact, he had allowed the eldest lady to drive away Hua Rui before, just because he did not want to pay back the hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts. After all, ten thousand gold coins can buy many beautiful young women. Compared with the two,
He decided to give up the stamen and let the eldest lady drive and bully her.
"You should ask the eldest lady about this and see what she says." He was obviously shirking responsibility.
Wu Bei looked at him and asked: "If there is a conflict between me and the eldest lady, you won't intervene, right?"
Chu Changgeng said calmly: "I don't care about your affairs."
He knew in his heart that there were two masters at the seventh level of body tempering beside the doctor. If Wu Bei went, he would definitely not be able to gain favor.
Wu Bei: "With your words, I feel relieved." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Looking at his appearance, Chu Changgeng suddenly had a bad premonition. He was no longer in the mood to practice boxing, so he said to the women: "Change clothes and go to the eldest lady's place!" This chapter has been completed!
