Chapter 272 Yes, it’s a money grab (4,000 words, second update)
That night.
On a hillside, a fire was raised. In the center of the fire was an iron pot, in which dried meat was being stewed.
The specially processed dried meat becomes fragrant after being stewed.
Li Guan sat on the ground, playing with a round stone-like object in his hand, "Is this the thing that can rejuvenate the art of mechanism?"
He got this thing from Mo Tiexin, which was the source of Mo Tiexin's desire to copy the World-Suppressing Qinglong.
This thing can make things made of a pile of wood, stone and steel move on their own.
Li Guan thought he had encountered some kind of time traveler, coming here to make some kind of technological revolution, ancient Gundam or something like that.
Mo Tiexin told him that as long as the warrior sends his true energy into the dragon ball, it will emit some strange power.
These powers have no effect on ordinary people, but they have a finishing touch on puppets made of wood, stone and steel.
He thought it was something similar to a reactor, but there was no need for a reactor to absorb energy. The reactor was originally an energy source.
This dragon ball is more like a transformer, converting the warrior's true energy into something else.
More like a battery, or redstone.
Naturally, Li Guan would not let go of this special metal, so he asked Mo Tiexin to come over and study it.
In fact, I just use my own ability to see what special entries there are.
Sure enough, there really is.
[Secondary fire source (white): wood and stone walking, bronze opening. 】
Li Guan frowned, you couldn't have chosen the name Goldfinger casually, the source of fire has come.
But thinking about the role of this thing, it seems that it can indeed be called a source of fire.
Can this entry be loaded onto myself?
What's the use?
Li Guan hesitated for a moment, then put the dragon ball back on his forehead and let Mo Tiexin hold it without any rush.
Since this thing is in my hand, I might as well copy the entry [Four-tusked White Elephant] first.
It would be terrible if all the giant elephant particles of his [Immortal Elephant Prison Suppressing Strength] transformed into four-tusked white elephants.
In the divine elephant's prison force, the particles are divided into giant elephants, yuan elephants, dragon elephants, divine elephants, etc.
But when Li Guan discovered and practiced the corresponding existential-xiang-type exercises, he was able to gradually change the types of elephants.
Although it has not yet produced a qualitative change, it can still increase the power provided by the particles.
If it is fused with the [Four-tusked White Elephant], even if it cannot truly evolve to the level of the Four-tusked White Elephant.
A white elephant will do, too.
The giant elephant is too valuable. Although it is a wild giant elephant, it is still a little far behind the legendary creature like the white elephant.
Not to mention a four-tusked white elephant.
The sound of popping bubbles awakened Li Guan from his deep thoughts. He put these plans behind him and ate first.
Li Guan was not afraid of the heat, so he picked up the hot pot with one hand and started eating.
After drinking the whole pot of soup, Li Guan put down the iron pot, looked in one direction, and said, "Come out.
If you don’t want to die.”
After a while, when there was still no movement, Li Guan picked up a burning stick and threw it in the direction he was looking at just now.
A whooshing sound.
The torch fell to the ground, and after a while the sound of burning dry grass could be heard. It was autumn now, with dead leaves everywhere, and it was very flammable.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man lying on the ground jumped up quickly and patted out the flames burning on his body.
"you……"
Just as he was about to say something, he saw a palm placed between his eyebrows, and heard a faint voice saying: "Explain your origins in two sentences, or you'll just die."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He felt that the palm placed between his eyebrows was ready to spit out the true energy at any time, which made his eyebrows suddenly tighten.
As long as the true energy spurts out, his head will be hit by the true energy in an instant, and his brain matter will burst out.
He was in the Cave Mystic Realm. Not only could he not be able to hide in front of this person, he could not even detect when this person was approaching him.
"I came here to explore the way for my young master, and I saw fire here..."
The middle-aged man saw Li Guan put down his palm and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was over like this, but then he heard Li Guan continue: "Tell me what it is about.
Not everyone can use the Dongxuan Realm to explore the path.
And he’s also good at hiding.”
Li Guan shook his head. This guy's hiding methods were even better than those of the Hidden Demon Veins.
However, there is still a long way to go compared to a bug-level entry like "One Leaf Knows Autumn".
As long as there is a creature that produces emotions, there is nothing to hide from Li Guan.
He just wants to know what kind of young master is able to use the Dongxuan Realm to explore the way?
When the middle-aged man heard Li Guan's words, his heart tightened, his muscles tightened, and his true energy gathered in his legs, and he was about to jump up and leave here.
But he found a palm placed on his shoulder, as if a huge mountain was pressing on him, and the energy in his body was instantly dispersed.
Even the harder he exerted himself, the stronger the palms placed on his shoulders became.
The legs are gradually being bent, and the whole person is slowly being pressed down, "伱!"
"I can regard you as malicious towards me, even if I kill you, it will be excusable.
You're so sneaky and won't tell me your origins, I seriously suspect that you are a member of the Demon Sect!"
A big hat was directly buckled down, and Li Guan's force on the middle-aged man's shoulder gradually increased, and he was about to crush the middle-aged man's shoulder.
"My little friend, please show mercy."
Suddenly, a strong wind flew past and hit Li Guan on the middle-aged man's palm, accompanied by an old voice.
When the middle-aged man heard the old voice, a hint of joy suddenly flashed across his face, thinking that he had been saved, but he saw that the young man in front of him still maintained a faint smile.
Without even moving, a burst of energy burst out, blocking the incoming strong wind. A layer of air waves exploded under the collision of the two energy energies, rolling up Li Guan's hair.
The old man in green robe appeared not far away from Li Guan and said with a smile: "Another Cave God Realm is here. It seems that your young master has a good status. He has a Dong Xuan Realm and a Cave God Realm guard when he goes out."
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the old man in green robe frowned and fell to the ground.
Although he did not notice that Li Guan had the profound and mysterious aura of the Dongxuan Realm, but who could control the Hidden Snake with one move was a warrior who could not even reach the Dongxuan Realm.
Li Guan found it a bit funny why he always met people on the road at night.
Why do these people like to travel at night and not during the day?
"We are not something you can afford to offend..."
Before the old man in green robe had finished his threat, he heard a click, and the Hidden Snake suddenly let out a scream, startling the crows resting on the tree, and made a babbling cry.
"you!"
There was another click, and the other shoulder was crushed. Li Guan just looked at the old man in green robe with a smile.
It seems to be asking him how much more your partner can support you.
"Please show mercy, young hero!"
Just when the atmosphere gradually began to stiffen, a clear voice suddenly sounded, and a young man with an ordinary face ran over from not far away.
He opened his mouth and said: "This young hero, please show mercy. They are my guards and they have offended the young hero.
I apologize for them!"
Li Guan glanced at him and said, "Prince Ning came here?
I thought Prince Ning was extinct, but I didn’t expect he was still alive..."
Li Guan's words were like pouring a glass of water into a boiling oil pan, and the three of them suddenly seemed like mice caught by a cat's tail.
The old man in green robe quickly protected the man and said sternly: "Who are you? Are you here to hunt us down? You are a traitor and a traitor! You are a traitor and a traitor!"
Li Guan gave the old man in green robes a blank look, threw the hidden snake in his hand at the feet of the two people, and said: "I won't tell you how I saw it.
Don’t let me take your reputation as a rebellious official and traitor."
Don't ignore them after you finish speaking.
He sat down calmly, took out the dried meat from his backpack, poured all the water on the side into the pot, and began to cook his own broth.
The green-robed old man quickly took out an elixir and fed it to the Hidden Snake. Warriors in the Dongxuan Realm had strong vitality. Although they were not able to regenerate their severed limbs, they were assisted by the elixir.
Those injuries will recover quickly.
After a while, a smell of meat spread out, making the three of them swallow their saliva. They saw that Li Guan didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
The ordinary man spoke cautiously: "Young hero, does this broth taste good?"
Li Guan picked up the iron pot and drank it all. He nodded seriously and said: "It tastes good."
The three of them were stunned when they saw that Li Guan drank the broth for several people in one gulp.
"You go on your way, and I drink my broth. The water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river."
Li Guan didn't want to get involved in these things. It involved political struggles. He didn't care about it. As long as he had strength, he would naturally have power.
The three of them looked at each other, and the ordinary man said with some embarrassment: "Young hero, there are women behind us... We don't have enough dry food..."
"Then walk two steps quickly. Don't dawdle, and remember to eat less at night."
Li Guan continued to take out the dried meat from his backpack, poured water, and added firewood. These dried meats were all brought from Chenjiazhuang.
It's conscientious meat, not dried human meat.
It would be good to replenish Li Guan's energy and blood. With Li Guan's current physique, he would either not eat at all, or he would have to eat only the meat of such exotic beasts.
Otherwise, ordinary meat will have no effect on him and may even accumulate impurities in his body.
Although based on Li Guan's digestion ability, it is impossible for any impurities to remain, and they will all turn into turbid gas and be spit out by him.
But the nutrients in ordinary meat have very little effect on Li Guan, and even ten meals would not be as good as this bowl of soup.
"We spend money to buy..."
"Well, that's another story."
…
Li watched nine people drinking broth, four women and five men. He could tell their identities just by looking at the order in which they ate.
The one with the highest status was an ordinary man who Li Guan saw had the green entry "Tian Huang Gui Zhou" on him.
He introduced himself as Zhao Ji, the youngest heir of King Ning, and Li Guan said that his name was Lei Pu.
That senior brother shouldn't mind using his name.
It's just that he doesn't quite understand that in some novels, the protagonist's pseudonym must be related to his original name.
It's that feeling of frustration when you want to pretend but you force yourself not to.
It's better to just say some pseudonyms from the beginning that are impossible for people to guess.
Next was a beautiful woman, a mature woman, still charming, and her beauty was no less beautiful than the two he had seen on the flower boat before.
But there was a very long scar on her left cheek, completely ruining her beauty.
It's just that she has a great figure, but she must be restrained by something.
Even though he is wearing linen clothes, it can be seen that he is well-maintained and has fine skin and tender flesh.
It sounds like they are the concubines of King Ning. The two of them are considered to be in charge of the nine of them.
Among these nine people, there is one Dongxuan and one Dongshen each.
The old man in green robe just now was the strongest among them. No wonder Zhao Ji wanted to show up just now.
They had a pretty miserable life, but it was really miserable for the Tianhuang nobles to find themselves in this situation.
In the end, Prince Ning only had one cave god to protect him here.
The pot of broth was quickly distributed, and most of it was eaten by Zhao Ji and the other four women. The other four should be Zhao Ji's subordinates.
While eating, they were all staring at Li Guan, as if they were worried about what Li Guan would do.
Li Guan was naturally too lazy to pay attention to them. He sold the dried meat of exotic animals, which could not be sold for more than 100 taels of silver, to them and bought 500 taels of gold.
It's a pity that his bottom line is not that low, otherwise he will directly slaughter these people to see how much they have accumulated.
Although he fled in a hurry, he must have good things with him.
After Zhao Ji had eaten his fill, he wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by one of the women. Just as he was about to say something, he heard one of the women say: "There is still something in this package, why don't we cook it together?"
Li Guan paused while stirring the fire. Yes, yes, but do you have money?
Zhao Ji looked a little embarrassed. When he called them over just now, he didn't tell them that the meat was bought with money. He subconsciously thought that it was given to them free of charge.
Because this has happened many times on the road. As long as he reveals the identity of Prince Ning, some loyal and patriotic people will give him various things for free.
Unexpectedly, his identity as he was being hunted would eventually become something that allowed them to survive.
But that was placed on some common people and some weaker warriors. Even if they knew some evil thoughts, they were still no bigger than Shan Bo.
But the person in front of him is not a loyal and patriotic person, and his strength may even be the highest in the audience.
Not to mention that this person's identity may not be simple.
He didn't even take out anything that could represent his identity, but he could tell at a glance that he was the heir of Prince Ning.
The tone when facing them is like facing an ordinary person.
Zhao Ji quickly explained to the four women in a low voice. Suddenly one woman exclaimed, "One hundred taels of gold? Isn't this just a money grab?"
Li Guan turned his head and looked over.
This woman was also wearing linen clothes, and her face should have been modified to look like a common woman among the crowd.
But her real appearance should be good.
Before Zhao Ji said anything, he heard Li Guan say calmly: "That's right, it's just a money grab. And you can't get that much money if you grab someone else."
