The carriage drove smoothly, turned four or five streets, passed through a pond square, and soon stopped on a relatively quiet street.
Lu Sheng paid the money and came down, looking up at the huge stone sign standing at the corner of the street.
On a large piece of gray-white stone shaped like a finger, three characters were clearly written in cinnabar: Shanbaotang.
"Master Lu! Hey, why didn't you send someone to let you know in advance that you are here? We can set up a good scene to greet you!" When the shopkeeper saw Lu Sheng, he was so frightened that he hurried out and said with a smile.
There are some knowledgeable people in the city along the mountain. Who doesn't know the name of the leader outside the road? His record of beating the leader of the Gongsun clan to death instantly established the image of a fierce and brutal master in everyone's mind.
"Please come inside! Please come inside!" The shopkeeper was a chubby fat man. He kept his small eyes wide open, his sleeves were wiping sweat from time to time, and he led Lu Sheng inside.
"Where are the things?" Lu Sheng was too lazy to look at the appearance of the shop. He was in a hurry now. While the Zhen family was fighting fiercely with the ghosts outside, he had to seize all the time to improve himself and prepare.
"Here, it's all here!" the shopkeeper said quickly. After leading Lu Sheng into the store, he quickly walked into the back hall and came to the two large boxes in the corner.
"The real ones were just unearthed. They haven't even had time to wash away the muddy smell. Please be more patient." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"You guys, open the lid!"
He quickly asked the clerks on both sides to lift the lid of the box.
Two muscular male clerks came forward, one of them unlocked the two boxes at the same time, and quickly flipped up the lids.
Bang.
The lid of the box fell against the wall behind, making a dull sound, revealing the messy bits and pieces inside.
"It's okay, all I want is freshness." Lu Sheng didn't care, squatted down in front of a box, reached out and grabbed a bronze sword at random.
There is no negative energy.
He changed it to another copper candlestick.
There is no yin energy either.
The third one is an iron dagger.
Still not.
"I'll look at each one by myself. Don't worry about it. Go about your business." Lu Sheng said casually.
How dare the shopkeeper go away? He was not the owner of this shop, but the general shopkeeper of the entire Shanbaotang. But when he heard an order coming from above, the leader of the Red Whale Gang actually wanted to go to his branch to pick something. He was shocked.
He quickly ran out of his mansion and greeted Lu Sheng in person.
He quietly waved the other two people away, while he took a few steps back and stayed here alone, waiting for orders at any time.
Lu Sheng took them out one by one and threw them aside. Soon, he had looked at all the dozens of objects in the first big box, and none of them had a negative energy.
He was not surprised. Yin Qi can be stored in objects, but it dissipates very quickly. It is extremely rare to find objects that barely dissipate Yin Qi.
Lu Sheng walked to the second box, knelt down and continued to look through it.
Objects were taken out one by one and quickly thrown aside. Halfway through, Lu Sheng suddenly made a move and stopped in his hand, holding a gold and ruby bracelet, regardless of the fact that it was stained with black.
Pick up the yellow mud and look at it carefully.
A stream of cold yin energy flowed continuously from the jade bracelet into Lu Sheng's arm.
He looked at the bracelet carefully and saw a line of small words on it.
‘Where are the Nine Phoenixes of Qingxi’
"Where did this bracelet come from?" He picked it up and asked the shopkeeper.
"Sir, these things were all collected from retail investors. We don't know exactly which ones." The shopkeeper was puzzled.
"Okay, it's okay." Lu Sheng put the jade bracelet aside and continued to look through the remaining things.
This time there was no luck as before, and there was no Yin Qi in the remaining items.
Lu Sheng stood up holding the gold and jade bracelet.
"I want this bracelet. Please give me a price."
The shopkeeper took the bracelet and looked at it.
"Since it's Mr. Lu who wants to reward you, let's take the original price of twenty taels."
Lu Sheng took out the money and gave him two twenty-two silver notes, stood up, took the jade bracelet, and walked out of the inner hall.
"If there are new products in the future, remember to notify me."
Before he left, he warned the general manager.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely do it!" the shopkeeper replied with a smile on his face.
Carrying the jade bracelet, Lu Sheng stopped a carriage and returned directly to the flower house.
Along the way, the jade bracelet was continuously gushing out Yin Qi and entering his body.
Returning to the greenhouse, he went back to his room to rest and ordered no one to disturb him and to close the door.
As soon as Lu Sheng sat down, he washed the jade bracelet with tea in the teapot and wiped it dry with a towel. The entire jade bracelet suddenly became extremely smooth.
Under the light, the red jade has a faint color of rippling blood.
At this time, the Yin Qi in the jade bracelet was almost absorbed.
"Dark blue!"
The modifier flashed before Lu Sheng's eyes.
He looked at the back of the martial arts box attentively. Fortunately, there were buttons behind most of the martial arts boxes, except for the Yin Yang Jade Crane Kung Fu.
Look at the Chiji Heart Technique again. There is actually a button behind the Chiji Heart Technique on the sixth level. Apparently, the Yin Qi absorbed this time is enough to raise it to one level.
‘Do you want to deduce martial arts?’ The modifier’s query came out again.
"Yes." Lu Sheng thought for a moment and chose yes as before.
The dialog box disappeared, and he quickly looked at where Chiji's Heart Technique was. The button behind it was still there.
"If I want to fight Ju's poison, the only effective thing I can do is Yang internal strength. The Chiji mental method is the main support that must be improved first. It is also the main force that I can use to injure ghosts."
Lu Sheng confirmed his choice, quickly focused his attention, and clicked on the button behind the Chiji Heart Method.
Chi.
When the button is pressed, the box blurs and becomes clear again soon. The previous words have completely changed into a new state.
'Chiji Heart Technique: Seventh level. Special effects: blood net. Strengthened fire poison, six levels of shock, strengthened ignition.'
"The blood network...is indeed there." Lu Sheng felt happy.
According to the secret book, after the Chiji Heart Technique reaches its peak, the inner energy of the body circulates and the firepower reaches the limit, a layer of inner energy network covering the skin of the whole body will be naturally derived.
This is what the classics call the Blood Web.
But Lu Sheng didn't know exactly how powerful the blood network was. Although he felt that his whole body's power was rapidly expanding, he didn't feel many other subtle changes.
He took out the white box and opened it again, took out one of the porcelain bottles, opened the stopper, and gently poured out a drop of black liquid into his palm.
hiss...
A puff of white smoke rose, and a putrid smell filled the air.
Lu Sheng could clearly see the drop of black liquid flowing and trembling in his palm, like a drop on a hot pot, quickly becoming smaller, evaporating, and then disappearing completely.
"One drop is very easy. It only takes three breaths to offset it." Lu Sheng felt the consumption of internal energy, "The quality of Chiji energy has also improved a lot. It only took two successes to achieve the same effect as before.
.It seems that the total amount has not increased much, but the actual skill has increased by at least four times!
It is indeed the pinnacle state of Chiji’s mental method.”
"Try the blood network again." Lu Sheng stood up and used all his internal strength.
Suddenly, he felt an invisible inner air network emerge from the skin of his body, protecting all parts of his body.
"Interesting." He raised his index finger and slowly moved towards the edge of the table.
When he was still a knuckle away from the table, Lu Sheng clearly felt that something was blocking his fingertips, making him unable to move forward.
And this thing is like a ball of cotton, very elastic. It can be squeezed forward a few times, but it can never touch the table.
hiss...
Suddenly, the edge of the wooden table ignited, and the bright flames spread quickly along the tablecloth and towards the entire table.
"Although it has a certain defensive effect and is fire-toxic, the temperature is too slow and too low. Even the tablecloth has to be touched for several breaths before it can be ignited..." Lu Sheng casually grabbed the teapot and poured it on the table.
Extinguish the ignited fire.
"In the face of ordinary people and ordinary masters, this blood net is indeed of infinite effectiveness. As long as you wear another layer of leather armor, with this layer of blood net's energy to absorb the force, no matter how strong the attack is, it can buffer and weaken the power by several percent.
But facing ghosts, this is not enough. We must continue to strengthen!"
"By the way, the Seven-Day Heavenly Blade also emits a network of energy, maybe there will be a bonus?" Lu Sheng quickly turned out the secret book of Chiji Heart Technique and looked it up.
Unfortunately, the Seven-Day Sky-Changing Sword mentioned above is just a simplified version created by imitating the special effects of the seventh-level Chiji Heart Technique.
Now that he has the seventh level of skill, this seven-day replacement of the Heavenly Sword is obviously a bit useless.
"It just so happens that I have an A-level third-level contribution, so I can go to the gang and choose the martial arts I like. As a level-A contribution, I should be able to choose the best internal skills and mental techniques, right?" Lu Sheng also felt a little helpless.
Even if the Chiji Heart Technique has been cultivated to its peak, reaching the level of the previous generation of Chiri Sect Master, it can only resist half of the poison of the porcelain bottle's arresting poison.
Lu Sheng guessed that the degree of resistance to this poison was probably directly proportional to Juli's protective strength.
If this is the case, even if his current skill explodes at full strength, it will have to be at least doubled before he can break through the protective barrier of restraint.
"Foreign leader! The gang leader has given an order for all high-level officials to assemble on the Red Whale!"
Yu Lianzi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"All the senior executives?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Did you say what it was about?"
"No." Yu Lianzi was also a little depressed. After all, he was not a high-ranking person, and his skills were sufficient, but his strength was not enough and he still needed to be sharpened. Otherwise, he would know the truth at this time.
"I know, I'll be out right away. I also need to go to the headquarters."
Lu Sheng put away the porcelain vase, put it back into the box, and put it under the bed. Then he arranged his clothes and opened the door.
"The horse is ready. You should save money, sir. A good horse is worth a lot of money. You can just throw it away. No one can resist this kind of waste." Yu Lianzi told Lu Sheng helplessly. Lu Sheng had gone out to ride before.
The horses didn't know where to go at the end, so now there isn't even a good horse along the mountain city.
"I know." Lu Sheng laughed and walked out of the house. Immediately, a gang led a group of red horses to him.
"Also, we can bring back Lu Chenxin's body tonight. Is it time?" He suddenly remembered and asked.
"We're here." Yu Lianzi nodded. For some reason, when he looked at Lu Sheng, he felt like he was a different person than before.
If it was like a ferocious beast before, it made people feel dangerous, but at this time, the aura of the outer head is thicker and thicker, giving people a more stable and mountain-like calm.
"Then send it here first, and I will send it back personally." Lu Sheng ordered. No matter what, the family must give an explanation.
