Xu Yuan now has ten taels of silver on his body, and he must make use of these ten taels of silver. Now that he has a prescription for bone-strengthening soup, he must spend the money on purchasing the medicinal materials for bone-strengthening soup.
The thirteen medicinal materials for this strong bone soup can only be purchased in Qingyun City. This means that Xu Yuan needs to go to Qingyun City, but the road has not been repaired yet, so Xu Yuan can only wait a few more days.
You can only go to Qingyun City after the road is completely repaired.
The following days were uneventful, and now that Xu Yuan has joined the Black Dragon Gang, he no longer needs to disguise himself when going out. He can even be called "Hello, Brother Xu" when he meets a member of the Black Dragon Gang on the road.
This kind of treatment has never been seen before. When Xu Yuan was a shoe repairman, he would stay away from these members of the Black Dragon Gang and did not dare to provoke them. Who could have imagined that he would be here today?<
/p>
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.
Today, all the roads leading to other places in Maplewood Town have finally been repaired and are ready for people to walk on.
Xu Yuan had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he immediately got ready, planning to go to Qingyun City today without further ado.
Xu Yuan took out the lime powder he bought at the grocery store the day before, put it in a cloth bag, and hung it around his waist. In addition, he prepared enough money to take with him.
After doing this, Xu Yuan was still a little worried, so he took the only sharp-edged scissors at home with him, placed them on his waist, and covered them with his shirt.
"Almost."
After completing this step, Xu Yuan felt much more comfortable. Then he left home without hesitation and walked towards the outside of Fenglin Town...
Fenglin Town is thirty or forty miles away from Qingyun City, and it takes a certain amount of time and a lot of energy to get there on foot.
But Xu Yuan has now practiced martial arts and is already a warrior in the power-refining realm. His physical strength is different from ordinary people. These journeys are not a problem for him at all.
Xu Yuan barely rested along the way and kept rushing, and finally arrived at Qingyun City before noon.
Xu Yuan looked far into the distance and saw a huge black city wall three or four feet high, connected to the left and right, and a magnificent city gate.
The city wall above the city gate is engraved with three large characters, which is Qingyun City!
Under the city gate, there are two soldiers guarding it, as well as people coming in and out.
This is the first time Xu Yuan has come to the county town after traveling to this world. Looking at the tall city wall, he is quite emotional.
After recovering his thoughts, Xu Yuan did not think so much and followed the crowd into the city.
Because it was already approaching noon, the first thing Xu Yuan did after entering the city was to choose a restaurant and have a hearty meal, eating the local food.
Later, Xu Yuan went to buy the medicinal materials for Zhuanggu Decoction. There were thirteen medicinal materials in total. Xu Yuan did not buy them in one drug store, but in several drug stores.
"It's true that the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts."
After buying the medicinal materials, Xu Yuan looked at the savings in his wallet and couldn't help but sigh.
The medicinal materials for Zhuanggu Decoction are very expensive. One serving costs three hundred coins, which is almost half of Xu Yuan’s monthly income when he was working as a shoe repairman.
Drinking the bone-strengthening soup once, it takes two days to completely refine and absorb its medicinal power. In other words, Xu Yuan needs to consume one portion of the bone-strengthening soup in two days, which is fifteen portions in one month, which is more than four taels of silver.
This is undoubtedly a huge expense.
But when it comes to martial arts training and attribute point recovery, Xu Yuan is not stingy, so he directly bought a month's worth of it in Qingyun City, spending more than four taels.
If the bone-strengthening soup works well, wait until you finish this month’s supply and then buy it again.
After packing fifteen portions of the medicinal ingredients for bone-strengthening soup and carrying them on his back, Xu Yuan set out on his way back.
It was already afternoon now, and it was probably already evening when he returned to Maplewood Town. Xu Yuan couldn't help but quicken his pace. He had to return to Maplewood Town before it got completely dark.
The road between Fenglin Town and Qingyun City is surrounded by mountains, and at night, wild wolves are likely to appear in these mountains, and the risk factor is very high.
In the mountains near Qingyun City, there are not many wild birds such as wild boars and rabbits. Instead, there are many ferocious wild wolves, which usually come out and roam at night.
Therefore, all the common people in the area near Qingyun City do not dare to walk at night, because they have no idea what will jump out of the darkness at the next moment.
Xu Yuan ran on the road, and the sky gradually became dark. There was a faint sound of wind howling from the mountains on both sides, and there were also some strange sounds, which made people feel creepy.
There was only Xu Yuan on this road, and even with Xu Yuan's state of mind, he felt a bit urgent.
After running without stopping for more than half an hour, Xu Yuan stopped and took a few deep breaths. Even with his physical strength, he felt a little tired.
After picking up the water bag and drinking a few sips of water, Xu Yuan looked up at the sky and realized that he still had time, so he continued on his way.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Xu Yuan's nose moved and he smelled an iron smell lingering on the tip of his nose.
"This is...blood!"
Xu Yuan sniffed carefully and found that this was undoubtedly the smell of blood. Immediately, his eyes subconsciously looked towards the jungle not far away. In the jungle, he saw a pool of blood, and he was lying in the pool of blood.
The... is surprisingly a deceased man with multiple stab wounds on his body!
"Was this a robbery? The blood stains haven't solidified yet, and he hasn't been dead for a long time. You have to leave quickly. The murderer is probably nearby!"
Xu Yuan didn't dare to think too much and quickly quickened his pace. This kind of thing was actually very common in ancient times. Although Xu Yuan was now a warrior, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. He just wanted to stay away and not cause trouble. At this moment, not far in front of Xu Yuan, a figure came out from behind a big tree.
Xu Yuan paused and his expression became serious, but he heard movement behind him again.
Xu Yuan turned around and looked back, and immediately saw two more men walking out of the jungle where the corpse was, walking towards him, a pair of cold eyes fixed on him.
At the same time, Xu Yuan also saw that one of the two men was holding a big knife in his hand. The knife was stained with blood, and blood dripped from the tip of the knife. He was undoubtedly the murderer!
"Damn..."
Xu Yuan secretly clenched his fists. His reaction was fast enough. He left immediately after seeing the body. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by these people.
"It should just be ordinary people who go to the city to buy things."
The man in gray clothes standing in front of Xu Yuan spoke. He looked at Xu Yuan's clothes, then looked at the sack on Xu Yuan's back, and said.
"Boy, if you want to blame it, it's your fault for seeing something you shouldn't have seen. It's not up to us."
Behind Xu Yuan, the man in blue holding a broadsword said coldly.
"Brothers... I didn't see anything... I really didn't see anything. Please let me go!"
Xu Yuan clasped his hands together and pretended to beg for mercy.
"Didn't see anything? I only believe that the dead will see nothing!"
The man in blue sneered and looked at Xu Yuan with a hint of murderous intent.
