Chapter Eighty-fifth: Seventh Level of Qi Practice
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, with a hint of coldness. Occasionally, a few strange bird calls can be heard from a distance.
While walking on the road, Chen Li's boiling blood gradually subsided.
kill!
kill!
kill!
Ever since he traveled through this world, he seemed to have been killing people.
Most of them are forced to defend themselves.
But this time it was to proactively establish authority and eliminate hidden dangers in advance.
More than a dozen lives were killed like chickens.
"In this world of cannibalism, if you don't eat people, you can only be eaten." Chen Li sighed: "If you want to live peacefully and make some money to support your family, why is it so difficult!"
He went round and round all the way.
Soon I returned home quietly.
Chen Li changed his clothes, took another cleansing charm for himself, lifted the package to the quiet room, and began to count the harvest.
There are a total of 16 medium-grade spiritual stones and more than 300 low-grade spiritual stones, most of which come from Zhang Lin of the Linghu Gang.
This alone adds up to 19 middle-grade spiritual stones.
in addition
There are a total of fourteen magical instruments.
One high-grade magical artifact, five medium-grade magical artifacts, and eight low-grade magical artifacts.
Let Chen Li sell the magic weapon that was almost running out, and get a huge replenishment.
In addition, there are three golden light talismans that Chen Li values the most.
As for other various talismans and fragments such as amulets, because their value was too small, he did not count them one by one.
"It seems that the leader of a gang is just like this. The casual cultivators in Green River Square are really poor..." Chen Li was a little disappointed. Except for a few golden talismans that surprised him, the rest could only be exchanged for some money.
, there are no good things at all.
Think about it too.
Before the sect war, these people were just ordinary casual practitioners in the late stage of Qi training, similar to Qiao Guanyuan and others. They gradually emerged due to fate and ambition, and there was no foundation at all.
…
When it got light, Chen Li took up a large bag of meat again and rushed to Fangshi as if nothing had happened.
Yu Fanzhen and several tribesmen have been waiting for a long time.
"Yu Fan really met Daoyou Chen!"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you came early enough!" Daoyou Chen glanced at her and said carelessly: "Don't worry, there is enough meat this time, so your trip will not be in vain!"
Facing this well-known murderer in the city, who could even kill a second-level monster, Yu Fanzhen couldn't hold up his momentum, so he laughed and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are kidding!"
"Am I kidding?" Chen Li said with wide eyes.
"Ah, no, no, I misunderstood fellow Taoist." Yu Fanzhen said quickly, thinking to himself, this person is really difficult to serve.
"Haha, I'm kidding you." Chen Li laughed.
Yu Fanzhen felt suffocated, and he laughed twice.
Chen Li ignored her and put down the big bag, then untied the rope of the bag, placed a relatively clean rag inside on the ground, and then poured out the whole meat, piling it into a mountain of meat.
"Chen Daoyou is really a hero. Isn't it dangerous to kill such a second-level monster?" Yu Fanzhen knelt down beside him and complimented with a smile, looking at the meat seller with a vague gaze, not missing any detail.
This time the second level monster was killed.
Even the ancestors of the family were alarmed.
In the past two days, various investigations have yielded nothing. All I know is that this monster, which is suspected to be a second-order snake monster, once ravaged a residential area a few days ago, and then its body was sold by meat sellers in the market with great fanfare.
No matter how valuable the corpse of a second-level monster beast is, the Yu family doesn't care.
A family like the Yu family has long passed its bloody pioneering period and has become the main business owner. The monthly income from the elixir shop and the talisman shop is equivalent to several second-level monsters, which is not enough to be jealous.
But who killed it and how?
The Yu family is very concerned.
This is about the safety of the family!
"I'm here to inquire about news again!" Chen Li looked at her with a stern look, and said with a half-smile: "I thought I was stupid and couldn't tell. You are still a bit young!"
Yu Fanzhen obviously didn't have a thick skin. When Chen Li pointed it out, his fair face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.
"Let me tell you clearly, I killed this monster." Chen Li did not look at her, wielded his magic sword and chopped the meat vigorously, and said casually: "If you are not afraid of death, come on."
"Fellow Taoist Chen, you have misunderstood. Our ancestors have specifically ordered us to make good friends with Taoists when we are outside." Yu Fanzhen explained hurriedly.
No matter whether this is true or false.
Chen Li felt much more at ease.
"That's good. Of course, I also have great respect for your ancestors." He finished cutting the meat in twos and twos and divided it into piles: "It is estimated that there are 1,100 kilograms of meat. An extra hundred kilograms means
My respect for your ancestors."
"Fan Zhen conveys this to the ancestor." Yu Fanzhen said solemnly, cupping his hands.
An extra hundred kilograms is not worth much money, at most it is only half a middle-grade spiritual stone.
But it represents goodwill and attitude.
Seeing Yu Fanzhen and a group of people walking away, Chen Licai reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
“It’s really convenient to have a storage bag.”
More than a thousand kilograms of meat were put into a palm-sized brocade bag, which made Chen Li envious.
Take Xumi as mustard seeds.
If you have this thing, why do you need to work hard to carry meat back and forth every day?
I don’t know how much this kind of thing costs?
It’s probably incredibly expensive!
At least he had never seen any casual cultivators in Green River Square, and perhaps even ordinary foundation builders were hard to find.
"This girl is not afraid of being robbed."
…
While Chen Li continued to sell meat.
Things about the Linghu Gang have begun to ferment.
Overnight, the Linghu Gang was taken away from its lair, and even the gang leader died naked on the bed. It was simply shocking.
The only survivor, the gang leader’s wife, was hesitant to speak at first.
Until I asked again and again.
Only then did he tell the truth with tears in his eyes.
This kind of news could not be kept secret at all, and it quickly spread everywhere.
The spirit fox helps disperse the people's hearts, and the tree falls and the hozen disperses, so I won't mention it.
Everyone in the surrounding gangs was horrified when they heard about it.
Everyone knows it.
This is a blunt warning.
Killing the chicken scares the monkey.
The Linghu Gang is just such a chicken that was beheaded.
But they are not monkeys, and they are not much better than this chicken.
The strength of Zhang Lin of the Linghu Gang is on par with the leaders of surrounding gangs. The Linghu Gang is like this, and other gangs will naturally not be much better if they are found in their lair.
This meat seller is so terrifying!
Everyone felt both happy and a little scared.
I'm glad that I didn't act like a chicken, but I'm afraid that I was almost treated like a chicken.
By the afternoon, the news had spread throughout the shanty towns. For a time, all the gangs quickly settled down, and even the frictions and fights between each other temporarily subsided.
Everyone in the gang has heard of the meat seller's lust!
…
Next, everything became calm.
In just a few days, Chen Li sold out all the second-level monster meat, including the skeleton scales and the remaining snake skins, to the Yujia Talisman Shop.
Total profit: two hundred and twenty-five medium-grade spiritual stones.
Among them, the income from selling meat was ninety-five middle-grade spiritual stones, and the rest was from the sale of spiritual materials such as bones and scales. Even Chen Li could not imagine that the income from these spiritual materials was higher than that of monster meat.
This does not include the more than two thousand kilograms of second-level demon beast meat and a demon pill that he kept for himself.
Otherwise, there will be more.
Yu Wufeng once proposed to purchase this demon pill for the price of twenty medium-grade spiritual stones, but Chen Li hesitated for a while and still refused.
He is no longer short of money.
And the demon pill doesn't take up much space.
Perhaps, when the situation improves, the price will be higher elsewhere.
What's more, as the first second-level monster that I killed, I had to leave something as a souvenir. Is there any better memorial than the demon pill?
…
night.
Talisman making room.
Chen Li couldn't help but count his savings again.
Add up the bits and pieces and convert them all into mid-grade spiritual stones.
A total of two hundred and eighty-one middle-grade spiritual stones.
He took a long breath.
It's almost like a dream.
I remember that when I first time traveled, I worked hard every day for a low-grade spiritual stone, often tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep at night. Even if I later learned to draw evil charms and had a stable income, I would spend every day carefully, even monster meat and spiritual rice.
Don't dare to eat more.
A spiritual stone would like to be broken into two flowers.
Never thought that today, one year later, I would be so wealthy.
"This money will be enough for a few years." Chen Li thought to himself:
"You don't have to take risks anymore."
Looking back on this time, selling monster meat was still a bit dangerous, and I placed all my safety on the premise that the ancestors of the Yu family were old, cautious, and would not take action.
Although the final result was good, it still had to walk a tightrope.
How to ensure that the ancestor of the Yu family will not take action?
What should I do if the ancestor of the Yu family takes action?
Can he really fight against Tsuki?
"Man perishes for money, and birds perish for food! I am not exempt from the vulgarity either." Chen Li whispered to himself.
…
In the days that followed, Chen Li began to concentrate on practicing.
Live in seclusion every day.
Return to the old days.
As time goes by, summer passes and autumn comes, and another month passes in the blink of an eye.
During this period, after breaking through to the master level in the Rebuke Technique, Palm Thunder also successfully broke through to the expert level. Compared with the beginning of practice, the lightning beams of Palm Thunder not only did not become thicker, but became a bit thinner, and the color became brighter.
.
At the same time, with the sufficient supply of qi-boosting pills and second-level monster meat.
Chen Li is getting closer and closer to the later stage of Qi training.
One day, he came back from Zhao Lin and happened to meet Lin Gui on the way.
At this time, Lin Gui was in ragged clothes, and his face was no longer as rosy as before. Instead, his face was pale and haggard, and his hair was all gray. He looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Compared with before, they are completely different.
When Lin Gui saw Chen Li, he felt sad and shed tears.
"Fellow Daoist Chen...it's really Fellow Daoist Chen!" Lin Gui said with a trembling mouth.
"Are you...Lin Gui? How did you end up like this?" Chen Li asked strangely.
"Oh, it's hard to describe in words..." Lin Gui, with runny nose and tears, told everything about what he had experienced during this period.
It turned out that Lin Gui had been living outside the home since he escaped from the Tsing Yi Gang.
During this period, as the stock of elixirs was gradually depleted, he couldn't help but prepare to refine the elixirs.
It's just that nowadays is no better than in the past. There are no herbal medicines for sale anywhere in the market. Even if there are any, most of them are sent to the Yu family's elixir shop. He can only continue to cook them. If so, he will not be so depressed.
He has a lot of savings on hand and can finally live on.
But the house leaked and it rained all night.
Perhaps because he often spends lavishly, his wealth is revealed unknowingly.
One night, someone broke into the bedroom. Fortunately, the person who robbed the property still had a trace of humanity.
He handed over all his belongings and escaped with his life.
The money is gone, but people are still alive.
He could only find food in the wilds and streams every day. He was honest and cowardly, and was often bullied. He could barely make ends meet even after a busy day. In just a few months, he had aged twenty years in his life.
"For the sake of being a friendly neighbor, you have to help me." Lin Gui begged: "I kowtow to you."
As he said this, he pretended to be embarrassed.
"Don't, don't!" Chen Li quickly helped Lin Gui up, thinking of Lin Gui's once glowing face and high-spirited look, and now he was humble, and he felt sad in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he took out his money bag from his sleeves and took out a handful of low-grade spiritual stones. He didn't even count them, he estimated there were ten or twenty, and stuffed them into his hand:
"I don't have much money left, so I can only help you so far, but don't get robbed again."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen." Lin Gui held the spirit stone tightly in his hand, with an excited look on his face.
After parting ways with Lin Gui, Chen Li couldn't help but look back.
Lin Gui was seen walking hobblingly, with white hair flying around his head, looking like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Perhaps, he will not survive this winter!
Chen Li felt depressed.
Walk home step by step.
Shanty towns are becoming increasingly deserted.
The plague of monsters is not over yet, but compared to the past, perhaps because more people died, monsters rarely dare to come to Fang City to wreak havoc unscrupulously, but they still linger in the surrounding forests.
…
Another half month has passed.
After Chen Li gradually reached the peak in his sixth level of Qi training, he encountered another hurdle after the third level of Qi training.
But this time, his cultivation stagnated for ten days before the threshold finally became loose.
One afternoon.
In the quiet room
"boom!"
Chen Li was shocked, and the spiritual power route in his body expanded again, forming a complete Zhoutian network.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly adjusted his restless spiritual power.
open one's eyes.
"It's done, I can finally call myself a monk in the late stage of Qi training." Chen Li looked happy.
The seventh level of Qi training is just the threshold for the later stage of Qi training. This kind of cultivation is rare even in the entire Green River Fang, and the number is estimated to be no more than fifty.
He closed his eyes again and savored the advanced feeling.
The spiritual power in the body is slowly and spontaneously operating.
My whole body is full of energy, my body is light, my consciousness is extremely clear, and it seems that my thinking speed is much faster.
