The cause of Elder Liu's death was quickly found out. What made Jiang Yi feel less guilty was that Elder Liu had always had a serious illness. He almost died three times in the past few years. In the past few days, he had been working day and night to advance his death.
Returning to the West...
Jiang Yi had no feelings for Elder Liu, but he was not the one who killed him, but died because of him. He had been feeling very uneasy and guilty these days. He even went to Elder Liu's grave in the middle of the night, kowtowed a few times, and sprinkled two
A glass of rice wine.
And because of Elder Liu's death, Jiang Yi had no chance to make alchemy at all, and the entire alchemy room was sealed. The family's only alchemist was gone, and the elixirs could only be purchased outside. The elixirs stored in the alchemy room would naturally be sealed.
Unified scheduling.
Elder Liu has been dead for three days. Jiang Yi hides in his backyard to practice every day, leaving Jiang Xiaonu to guard him in the front yard. He has a deep worry in his heart. Now that he is no longer working in the alchemy room, the family is likely to
Arrange new chores for him, and Manager Rong will most likely come to retrieve the Xishan Medicine Field token.
"Time, as long as you give me some more time, no problem will be a problem!"
Jiang Yi sat cross-legged in the backyard, gritting his teeth secretly. In the past few days, dozens of runes on his seal had been cracked, and his cultivation speed was gradually increasing, reaching seven or eight times the original level.
Although this speed is still far behind the outstanding disciples of the family. He originally practiced for a month to be able to compete with others in one day. The cultivation speed is thirty times lower than that of the outstanding disciples of the Jiang family. But he firmly believes that as long as he continues to crack the runes on the seal
Sooner or later, his cultivation speed will catch up with most of the family's children, or even... far exceed it.
The upper limit of black energy refining is only ten strands each time, but it has abnormal amplification ability. As long as his cultivation speed can be increased to the level of the outstanding disciples of the family, it is not impossible for his combat power to catch up with them in a short time.
In fact, he also thought about informing the family about his seal being broken and the unknown martial arts, so as to attract the family's attention, so that all problems could be solved. But he thought that no one in the Jiang family had treated him well in the past few years, and Liu
Regarding the elder's matter, he was afraid that the Jiang family would be angry with him, so he decided to wait until his strength could no longer be concealed before talking about it.
"Jiang Yi, get out!"
A deep shout in the front yard brought Jiang Yi back from his thoughts. When he heard the voice, he secretly thought that something was not good. Manager Rong finally came to the door. He shrank and immediately hid in the thatch pile in the backyard, not daring to be too loud.
spit out.
Vaguely, he heard Jiang Xiaonu's soft explanation and Manager Rong's angry scolding. It wasn't until a moment later that Jiang Xiaonu trotted into the backyard: "Master, Manager Rong is gone, but he said tomorrow morning
I want you to find him and go to the Xishan Medicine Field to take stock."
"really……"
Jiang Yi's face darkened, he rolled his eyes a few times, pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth before saying, "Little slave, please stay at home, I'll go out first."
He walked into the house and took out the black robe he bought last time, put it on and hurried out of the yard. As soon as he walked out a few dozen feet, he suddenly turned around and saw a figure flashing around a corner in the distance.
, and immediately sneered.
"Jiang Ruhu really sent someone to keep an eye on him!"
His legs were filled with energy, and he ran towards the west gate with all his strength while listening attentively. As expected, the man behind him quickly chased after him. Jiang Yi ran wildly, turned around, and suddenly went into a nearby alley to hide. When the man behind him
The person was swept forward like a strong wind, and then he quickly turned around and ran towards the south courtyard of the Jiang family.
After walking out of the south gate of the Jiang Family Courtyard, Jiang Yi made sure that no one was following him, put on his cloak and headed straight for the city square. Less than half an hour later, he arrived at a large elixir shop on the east side of the square.
He walked in swaggeringly, took out the only purple gold leaf on his body, slapped it on the counter, and drank: "Store, give me ten spiritual pills!"
"Okay, come and get ten spiritual pills."
The shop owner was a fat middle-aged man. When he saw Zijin's face, he immediately smiled flatteringly. While smiling, he stretched out his hand to grab the gold leaf on the counter: "Hey...this guest, a spiritual god."
The pills are ten taels of silver, totaling one tael of purple gold.”
"snort!"
Jiang Yi snorted coldly, but did not let go of his hand. The fat shopkeeper's expression changed, and he quickly smiled awkwardly and said: "It seems that the guest officer is a regular customer, so... I will charge you a total of ninety taels of silver."
Jiang Yi nodded slightly, gritted his teeth in pain and let go of his hand, watching helplessly as the purple gold he had only acquired for a few days went into someone else's pocket.
This was also a helpless move for him. Without high-level elixirs and relying on his cultivation speed, it would be impossible to reach the second level of the Cauldron-casting realm in a short period of time. If he dared to go up to the Western Mountain, he would have to crawl back. That day, he and Jiang Ruhu agreed to Ximen in ten days.
Waijian, he just made up his mind and prepared to practice quickly with the help of high-level elixirs and black energy...
After buying the spiritual pill, he hurriedly left with the remaining ten taels of silver, but walked straight towards the Juzhen Pavilion in the south of the square.
The person who received him was the same Manager Liu as last time. Manager Liu politely brought Jiang Yi into the Accord, and after inviting the maid to serve him tea, he smiled and asked: "Sir, are you planning to sell elixirs again this time? Is it possible?
Do you have any good stuff?"
Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, he actually had ten spiritual pills on him, but he just bought them... Fortunately, his whole face was covered in a cloak, and Manager Liu couldn't see his expression. He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Manager Liu,
I would like to meet you, young lady, and I have something to ask of you!"
Manager Liu looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "Master, I'm so sorry! The lady went to the Martial Palace to practice the day before yesterday. If you have something urgent, how about... I ask the Chief Manager for instructions?"
"Martial Hall?"
Jiang Yi was startled and thought to himself that it was bad luck, and he became a little surprised and doubtful in his heart. Has something big happened in Tianyu City recently? Why are all these young ladies going to the Martial Palace to practice?
He wanted to see Ji Tingyu for nothing particularly important. On that day, he felt that Ji Tingyu seemed to value him a little. So he came here rashly to see if he could borrow ten taels of purple gold from her and go to Fengyue Tower to redeem it first.
Return the token! When he thought about it, as a young lady of the Ji family, Juzhen Pavilion was so rich, ten taels of purple gold must be a drop in the bucket to her, but he didn't expect that she was not here.
"No need, I'll come back later."
Jiang Yi stood up in embarrassment. The master was not here, how could these servants dare to make the decision and borrow money without permission? If he asked the chief manager and the other party refused to lend him money, wouldn't he be extremely embarrassed?
Walking out of the Juzhen Pavilion, Jiang Yi stood blankly in the square, looking at the endless traffic, feeling distressed in his heart. With the Lingshen Pill, he was not afraid of Jiang Ruhu and others. The problem was that the alchemy room was sealed, and he
There is no waste pill, how can I make money quickly?
He glanced around the square and was suddenly attracted by a majestic hall in the north of the square. The main reason was that the outside of the hall was full of people at the moment and it was very lively, which made him a little curious.
Martial Hall!
Jiang Yi knows a little about this magnificent hall. In fact, there are really no people in the entire Tianxing Continent who don’t know about the Martial Hall, because there is such a black and simple hall in the center of all cities, and the Martial Hall has a long history. It seems that human beings
This martial arts palace has existed since the beginning of the Era.
Wudian is not a force, and has never participated in mainland disputes. Strictly speaking, it should be the largest business house in Tianxing Continent! However, its service targets are high-level warriors and young masters and ladies from wealthy families. If you don’t have the strength of the Purple Mansion Realm, you can’t do it.
To enter the Martial Palace, you must pay one tael of purple gold for entry.
Jiang Yi had heard when he was very young that the Martial Palace was simply a paradise for cultivation. There was a powerful spirit-gathering formation inside, where cultivation could be accelerated twice as fast. There were also various good things to assist cultivation, which could make
The martial artist's strength has improved rapidly. However, this martial arts palace was too far away for him who had difficulty even eating, so he did not deliberately inquire about it.
Seeing the crowds outside the Martial Hall, and thinking that Jiang Henshui and Ji Tingyu had gone in to practice, Jiang Yi was curious for a moment and walked quickly outside the Martial Hall.
The main door of the Martial Palace was closed, but the side door was open, but there were two black-armored guards guarding it. Jiang Yi followed the crowd and fixed his gaze on a notice outside the Martial Palace.
After glancing at it, Jiang Yi quickly became bored. This martial arts palace is recruiting sparring martial artists. The salary is very attractive. A bronze sparring partner will earn one tael of silver a day, a silver sparring partner will earn 10 taels a day, and a gold medal sparring partner will even earn one tael of gold a day.
.
The so-called sparring naturally means accompanying others to practice martial arts and helping them improve their actual combat experience. In other words, others can hit you casually, and you can fight back, but you cannot hurt the other person. This is the job of taking the initiative to be beaten.
Jiang Yi was not very strong. Even if he wanted to go in and get beaten, he would probably be a bronze medal sparring partner at most. One tael of silver a day would not help him as he owed a huge debt of 10 taels of purple gold. Naturally, he was too lazy to go in and waste time.
Hearing the comments from the nearby spectators solved a doubt in Jiang Yi's mind - a few months later, it was said that a large college would come to Tianyu City to recruit students, so all the top young ladies in the city entered the Martial Palace to practice in seclusion.
I want to get a good ranking in the recruitment competition and enter that academy. With so many top young ladies entering the martial arts palace to practice, there is naturally a shortage of sparring partners...
"Go back and practice!"
The famous university student Jiang Yi was not interested at all, because it was out of reach for him. As for the gossip about the top young ladies in the city, he was not curious at all, so he turned around and walked towards the Jiang Family Courtyard.
but!
Just as he turned around, he was attracted by the conversation between the two young warriors.
"One tael of purple gold per day! One tael of purple gold can be used to hire an oiran in Fengyue Tower for ten days and ten nights. It's a pity that my martial arts skills are not good, otherwise I would definitely go in and become a gold medal sparring partner."
"Come on, even though both sides sealed their Yuan Power during the sparring match, among the young ladies inside, which one is not at the fifth or sixth level of the Cauldron-Forming Realm? Even if they don't use Yuan Power, they can easily beat you to death with their reaction speed and martial arts skills.
Zhutou. Yesterday, my cousin who is at the third level of the Cauldron-Forging Realm went to practice for a day, but he crawled out in the end. He is still at home recovering from his injuries. Those young ladies are too ruthless, and it is not easy to make money...
"
"Sealed Yuanli sparring?"
Jiang Yi thought. If both parties don't use Yuan Power and only rely on reaction speed and martial arts. He can use black Yuan Power to increase his eyesight and increase his reaction speed several times. Maybe he can be a gold medal sparring partner?
Without the blessing of Yuanli, no matter how fast those young ladies react, how fast can they be? In a competition of martial arts, who is afraid of whom?
"One tael of purple gold a day? Give it a try, go and try it!"
The more Jiang Yi thought about it, the more excited he became. If he couldn't do it, he would just get beaten up. After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the side door of the Martial Palace. He cupped his hands in front of the two black-armored guards and said, "I'll sign up as a sparring partner!"
