Then he saw Zhou Hong in the living room, facing a huge snake demon skin, gesticulating and drawing something.
"What are you planning to do?" Chen Li hung the sword on the wall and asked doubtfully.
"This skin is quite tough and is difficult to be damaged by ordinary magic weapons. I was wondering if I could make you an inner armor." Zhou Hong pursed her lips and smiled.
Chen Li couldn't help but be greatly moved when he heard this.
After all, this is the snake skin of a second-level snake demon.
Although his spiritual power can hurt with a flick of his finger, it can only be done barely.
The power of a master-level spiritual snap is comparable to that of a first-level and fifth-level spell, which is definitely not weak. It is even stronger than a mid-level magic weapon with a fifth-level Qi training full-power wielder.
And this kind of strength is already the middle and upper class in the shanty town, and they are the backbone of the elite in the gang.
"I'm making you worry!" Chen Li felt warm in his heart and stepped forward to hold her hand.
"I don't dare to ask for too much. As long as you can be safe, I will be satisfied." Zhou Hong leaned in Chen Li's arms and said softly.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Chen Li reassured, and then changed the subject: "However, the skin is still too hard, so I need to find someone to deal with it first."
Compared with ordinary monster skin, this snake skin is already very thin, but the thickness is still about three millimeters. It feels as hard as rubber. It is definitely not comfortable when worn on the body, and it also affects the flexibility of the body.
And next door, there happened to be a leatherworking master.
The two had a private conversation.
Chen Li rolled up the snake skin and walked out.
…
"Uncle, what's going on?" Zhang Shuniang opened the door and asked, blinking her talking eyes.
"Shu Niang, where is your father?" Chen Li asked.
"My father is making leather in the talisman-making room. He can't leave for now. He asked me to open the door. Uncle, come in quickly!"
"Why haven't you come to my house to play in the past two days?" Chen Li walked in and smiled at Zhang Shuniang.
Zhang Shuniang closed the courtyard door, walked quickly behind Chen Li, and said honestly: "My father won't let me go out, saying there are monsters outside, so I can't go out these days. I'm learning to draw talismans now.
My father said that uncle, you have made away all the money in the family.
If I don’t learn how to draw talisman, I won’t be able to eat enough.”
Chen Li was speechless: "Your father lied to you. Ignore your father. He is so stubborn. Making him some money is more uncomfortable than killing him."
"Hehe, I think so too." Zhang Shuniang snickered.
"Has his father been scolding me behind my back?" Chen Li couldn't help teasing.
Zhang Shuniang's eyes widened when she heard this, and her face flushed red: "No... no, my father has never scolded you... Uncle, I'll make you tea."
After saying that, he quickly ran away.
Chen Li couldn't help but laugh, and walked into Zhang Yan's talisman-making room.
He had been here many times and was already familiar with the place.
I saw Zhang Yanzheng holding a small knife, carefully scraping the skin and cleaning the minced meat on the animal skin. Seeing Chen Li come in, he raised his eyelids slightly, then continued to lower his head and work, saying: "Fellow Daoist Chen, look at what I'm doing
I'm busy, so I won't entertain you, just do what you want."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't be too busy for now. I just received a good piece of skin. Please help me palm the eyes." Chen Li smiled and said excitedly: "I can guarantee that you are definitely a skin material you have never seen before."
"Oh, what a big tone. Zhang has been dealing with leather for thirty years and has never touched any leather. I want to see what kind of leather it is." Zhang Yan sneered and couldn't help but put down the leather and stood up:
"Spread the skin and let me take a look."
Chen Li walked to an empty table and spread out the snake skin in his hand.
"This pattern looks like the skin of a snake demon..." Zhang Yan was a little disdainful at first, but before it lasted long, his face became serious. He began to inspect it, moving closer to his eyes to inspect inch by inch. As time went by,
As time went on, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Where did you get this skin?" Zhang Yan said solemnly.
"Bought it from Fangshi!" Chen Li said: "It cost me thirty low-grade spiritual stones, and I don't know whether I lost money or gained money."
"This makes no sense... This aura, this toughness, this subtle and obscure aura is obviously the second-level snake demon skin. And it is still fresh second-level snake demon skin. You can see that there are still blood streaks on the leather.
, obviously it was just peeled off not long ago!" Zhang Yan murmured to himself, with a look of disbelief on his face:
"Could it be that the Yu family established the foundation... Maybe I saw it wrong. I'll take another look..."
"Okay, why do you care so much? You'll have time to take a good look at it later. I want to use this leather to make a set of inner armor, but I think it's too hard and too thick, so I want to leave it to you to deal with it first. I can do it tonight.
It can't be done." Chen Li interrupted with a smile.
"At night? How is it possible? There are too many steps to process a piece of leather. It is very time-consuming. It will take at least ten days and a half. What's more, I have never come into contact with this kind of leather. It's hard to say whether I can handle it.
." Zhang Yan couldn't care less about his doubts after hearing this, and quickly shook his head.
After ten days and a half, the monster meat will smell bad.
What else is there for sale?
"It doesn't need to be as complicated as making the talisman skin. It can be done simply. When the inner armor is made, if there are any materials left, I will give them all to you." Chen Li said.
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "This is true."
How much skin can be used for an inner armor? For such a large piece of skin, almost half of it can be left.
"What use do I have with the remaining leather? But the ugliness comes first. If the processing is not satisfactory to me and the inner armor cannot be made, the remaining leather will be gone."
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Chen, please speak quickly and we'll make a deal. Let's see what I do." Zhang Yan patted his chest and said.
…
Afternoon, in the yard.
"roll!"
A soft drink.
Rebuke spell release.
Feeling a little dizzy, Chen Li quickly paused to calm down.
He glanced at the game panel.
"There are only six o'clock left. You should be able to advance today."
The 'Scolding Technique' was already on the verge of advancement. After practicing more deliberately in the past two days, the progress has been rapid.
"The master-level scolding technique is comparable to the first-level and sixth-level techniques. Judging from the previous battles, even the amulet cannot be fully defended. What is even more terrifying is that this technique is also a range attack..." Chen Li had something in his mind.
think:
"Coupled with the protection of the golden light talisman and the second-level snakeskin inner armor, except for the Yu family foundation builder, I have nothing to fear from the rest of them. They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs."
When the dizziness subsided, Chen Li picked up the sword and began to practice.
…
evening.
Chen Li received three golden talismans from Zhao Lin.
"If you give me another day, I will definitely receive more!" Zhao Lin reluctantly returned the six middle-grade spiritual stones.
Does the Golden Light Talisman cost money?
Three middle-grade spiritual stones and one piece.
Chen Li glanced at him painfully, and while putting the spirit stones into his purse, he said: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. By the way, I will go to Fangshi tomorrow to sell the meat of the second-order monster beast. I guess there will be some disturbances."
, you guys, please pay attention to your safety, it’s best not to go to Fangshi these days.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt there was no movement.
When he raised his head, he saw Zhao Lin's mouth trembling, with a dumbfounded look on his face: "Two...second-order monster meat? Big...brother, you killed the first second-order monster!?"
He nodded calmly and said hypocritically: "I met you last night, okay, don't make a fuss, I just want to give you a heads up!"
…
On the way back, Chen Li thought about what he said.
I think it's totally fine.
He neither showed any pride nor said it indifferently, as if what he was talking about was just a trivial matter like eating and drinking water, something completely unworthy of mentioning, which was in line with his low-key way of doing things.
He walked home quickly.
He did not rush Zhang Yan.
After all, one day is too much time, and rushing will affect the leather processing effect.
Fortunately, I just finished dinner.
Zhang Yan came to the door with leather materials.
His face was full of exhaustion, and his hands holding the leather were shaking. He looked like an honest man, and when he saw Chen Li, he said bitterly:
"The time is too tight, the leather level is too high, and many medicines are not very effective, so I can only deal with it like this. Because of you making materials, I didn't even have time to eat lunch. I have been busy from early to now, and even my life is at stake.
It’s almost lost.”
Chen Li's ears automatically blocked the other party's complaints and reached out to take the leather: "Let me take a look first!"
He kneaded it vigorously, and the entire material became much softer and thinner by nearly a third. In addition, the original fishy smell was completely eliminated.
"How?" Zhang Yan stretched his neck and couldn't help asking.
"Why does this material feel so small to me?" Chen Li said slowly.
"It will naturally shrink when soaking in potion. This is normal."
Chen Li nodded noncommittally and asked: "It won't affect toughness and defense, right?"
"It won't affect it, it won't affect it at all."
Facing Zhang Yan's expectant gaze, Chen Li finally said: "It's okay. Time is tight this time, so I won't force it. Don't worry, I will keep my word and I will give you the rest when the time comes."
In addition, I have the same material. This time I am not so pressed for time, but I have to deal with it carefully."
"You still have one more!" Zhang Yan exclaimed.
"I bought two of them. Didn't I tell you? Maybe I forgot. This material is still used to make inner armor. As a rule, the remaining material will be given to you." Chen Li looked surprised.
'road:
"Wait a minute, I'll get the leather."
Chen Li walked into the back room, jumped into the basement, and quickly fetched a roll of fresh leather: "This roll is larger, I plan to use it to make two sets of inner armor."
Zhang Yan took the leather in a daze, smelling the strong fishy smell and the vague and depressing atmosphere. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Something felt wrong in his heart.
Where did these fresh second-level demon beast skins come from?
Who killed this second-level monster?
…
The next day, it was bright and clear.
Chen Li put on the inner armor that Zhou Hong had made overnight and put on his robe. He reached out and touched his left sleeve pocket and checked it. There were three golden talismans placed there, and he felt a strong sense of security.
However, it was born.
He carried the big bag of meat on his back, picked up his sword, and said to Zhou Hong, "I'm leaving first."
"Pay attention to safety!" Zhou Hong said worriedly, "How about I go with you."
"No, I have to take care of you if you go. It will be more dangerous then. Just stay at home and be back soon!" Chen Li said with a smile: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
With that said, he walked out of the house.
Zhou Hong followed and walked a few steps quickly, leaning against the door of the courtyard and watching.
Chen Li looked back, signaled her to go back, turned around and hurried to Fangshi.
The sky was still dark, and there were very few pedestrians on the road, which was extremely deserted. It wasn't until we got closer to the market that the crowds gradually began to increase. Most of them were low-level casual cultivators who used to set up stalls and compete for seats.
Some of these people's clothes are in tatters, and some are relatively clean and tidy, but many of their robes have been patched.
Without the caravan, many supplies began to be in short supply.
Most casual cultivators cannot afford robes and wear secular clothes.
Some monks only have one or two sets of robes all year round. They don't even know how to draw cleansing charms and are too lazy to wash them. Their living conditions are terrible. After a year of wear and tear, their robes are already in tatters. They are no better than beggars.
Worlds, full of wonders.
There is no worst, only worse.
Even if the original owner doesn't have the skills to draw talismans.
Have a good income.
The normal living conditions are probably not much better than these people.
…
The arrival of the meat seller caused a commotion in the market, and people avoided him.
"Here he sells meat again."
"After you!"
There were sounds of greetings everywhere, and Chen Li nodded in greetings. Now he no longer needed to pretend to be fierce. He chose a position near the door and put down the bag.
Many people had noticed his arrival and gathered around him.
The monster meat he sells has always been cheap, and he has accumulated a good reputation during this time.
Chen Li glanced at it and spread out a piece of cloth, then took out a wooden board from it and set it up next to it.
There are several big words written on it:
'Second-level monster meat: five low-grade spiritual stones and ten kilograms!'
There was a "boom" and the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Hiss, fellow Taoist is really the meat of a second-level monster beast. This can't be faked."
"Yes, fellow Taoist, where did you get the second-level monster meat?"
…
The crowd was talking and commotion.
"I, Mr. Chen, do business in Fangshi. I have always been honest and honest. When have I ever deceived fellow Taoists?" Chen Li glared fiercely, stood up, opened the bag and poured out the snow-white snake demon meat.
When I came out, a faint depressing atmosphere suddenly filled the air:
"Please distinguish between them to see if this is the meat of a second-order monster beast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became silent.
The crowd's expressions were stagnant, and many even couldn't help but take a step back.
Shocking!
Surprised!
Can't believe it.
But after a while of silence, a more noisy voice sounded.
"Fellow Taoist, did you really kill the first level two monster?"
"Can it be cheaper?"
"Green River Fang can be saved!"
“Can I just buy two kilograms?”
…
Chen Li felt countless flies and ducks ringing in his ears, and he couldn't help but let out a loud drink.
"Shut up. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't ask. Five spiritual stones and ten pounds will not be sold in pieces."
As a body refiner, Chen Li had a strong body and his voice was so loud that everyone felt their minds buzzing. The noisy crowd couldn't help but fall silent. Thinking of the evil reputation of this meat seller, there was no one there for a while.
Dare to speak.
"Okay, whoever wants to buy it should hurry up!" Chen Li said.
"I want ten pounds!"
"Give me twenty pounds."
Perhaps the price is too high to be affordable by most people.
Most of the people in line dispersed.
Only a few people chose to pay for it, but more and more people were watching.
Chen Li was not in a hurry and sold slowly.
It's still early.
It's not dark yet, so there are very few people in the city. In two or three hours, there will be the most people in the day.
