Black Wind Mountain.
foot of the mountain.
Han Zhao wore a mask and impeccably dressed white clothes. He held a black box in his hand and walked into the cave where the knife hunter's stronghold was.
In front of him was a deep corridor, with lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, and the dim yellow firelight illuminated the passage.
Han Zhao walked all the way to the end, and a spacious underground hall came into view.
At this time, a strong man with a fierce look and a height of nearly two meters stood in front of the counter. On his right shoulder was a large ring knife of nearly 1.2 meters, and in his left hand was a blood-stained head.
He casually threw his head on the counter and handed over the task to the officer behind the counter.
Tick tock...
Blood ran down the counter and dripped onto the floor.
The pungent smell of blood dissipated, but the officer's expression was very respectful and did not show any dissatisfaction.
The strong man did not hide anything and showed his true colors directly. He was obviously very confident in his own strength.
"Master Lei, this is your bounty, please keep it." After the official confirmed, he handed over the twenty taels of silver with both hands.
"Yes." Lei Hu took the silver and turned to leave. When he noticed Han Zhao not far behind him, he looked startled.
Because Han Zhao was dressed in white, with a funny fox mask on his face and thin arms and legs, he didn't look like a knife catcher.
However, when he saw the wanted notice attached to the black box in Han Zhao's hand, he suddenly lost his contempt.
"You killed 'Song Wind Sword' Zhou Han?!" Lei Hu's eyes widened and he pointed at the box in Han Zhao's hand. This 'Song Wind Sword' Zhou Han was a good player in the bone training realm. He had hunted him down several times. , it can only be a draw.
Quasi-martial arts masters in the blood training realm disdain to be sword hunters, so the strongest among knife hunters like them are also in the bone training realm.
As long as those fugitives do not enter Black Rock City and only cause trouble nearby, and do not provoke big forces, the masters in the city will not hunt them down. At most, the county government will issue a reward mission and let the knife catchers deal with them.
'Songfengjian' Zhou Han was one of the strongest wanted criminals nearby, and he was actually killed by this masked man who looked weak?
"Yes." Han Zhao glanced at Lei Hu and responded lightly. His character for Song Que was that of being cold and cold.
"A certain Lei Hu, I don't know who your Excellency is..." Lei Hu cupped his fists and saluted, announcing his family name. Although Han Zhao's attitude was very cold, he still wanted to make friends.
"Song Que." Han Zhao's tone remained unchanged.
"I didn't know there was a master like Brother Song nearby. He is indeed extraordinary." Lei Hu's smile did not diminish. Seeing that the masked man had no intention of making friends, he was not impatient. People in their line of work are wary of others. Being strong is normal.
"Don't disturb Brother Song, please." Lei Hu gave up his position.
"Yeah." Han Zhao nodded and walked to the counter.
Lei Hu's intention to make friends was obvious, but the more people he knew, the easier it was to be exposed, so Han Zhao didn't want to pay attention.
When Lei Hu saw this, he was not annoyed and turned around and walked outside.
People in the world have many friends and many paths.
He has been in the world for a long time, but he prefers to make friends with people like Song Que. Because although such people are arrogant and difficult to approach, most of them are not sinister and cunning, and are much better than those who hide their knives in their smiles.
"Sir Song." The official also heard the conversation between the two. Seeing Han Zhao put the black box on the counter, he immediately bowed respectfully and then began to check.
He remembered Song Que's attire. The last time Song Que killed was the skin-training flower-picking bee Kuai Wei, but he sold a book that could train him to the blood-training state. At that time, the official only said that Song Que was lucky. Got a big fat sheep.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than half a year, Song Que directly killed Zhou Han, the most difficult person in the Bone Training Realm's 'Songfeng Sword'. It was obvious that Song Que was a master in the Bone Training Realm at the beginning, and he just used the Flower Picker Bee to practice.
Guan Cha was glad that he did not neglect the other party at that time, nor did he deliberately hold back when purchasing the skills and exchanging gold.
"Master Song, this is your bounty, a total of twenty-five taels of silver. Do you want to exchange it for gold?"
"Yeah." Han Zhao nodded.
The head of this wanted criminal in the Bone Training Realm is really worthless, but fortunately the loot is great.
Zhou Han carried more than a dozen taels of silver with him, as well as a copy of the 'Songfeng Sword Technique' that could be practiced to the level of blood training.
Han Zhao really wanted to practice a swordsmanship, but he planned to practice it after he reached the blood training realm, so as not to delay the progress of his practice.
The reason why I want to practice swordsmanship is to raise the level of the entry "Swordsmanship".
He found that after the swordsmanship qualification was increased to five times, the proficiency increase prompt did not appear. It should be that the proficiency of the swordsmanship qualification was holding him back.
The [Sword and Sword] entry is a growth-type entry that can be upgraded to two levels, and it is one of the important pillars for his cultivation.
However, he is not going to practice Songfeng Sword Technique, and he doesn't like the technique that can't be used now.
Besides, this swordsmanship tends to be agile and elegant, and the corresponding fighting method is fighting. He likes instant bursts and long-lasting bursts, and wandering fighting is not his fighting style.
He was about to sell Songfeng Swordsmanship together, but he found that while the official officer handed over two taels of gold and three taels of silver, he also handed over a cyan token.
The front is engraved with the character 'Fang', and the back is engraved with the character 'Chen'.
"What's this?"
"Sir Song, this is the admission ticket to the Chenjiabao auction in Jiulian Town." The official explained.
"Weapon training skills are much more expensive than ordinary skills. According to the purchase price here, you can only sell this Songfeng Swordsmanship for seventy or eighty taels at most. If it is put up for auction, it will be sold at least. To one hundred taels of silver. The Zhao family’s commission is only 5%, and the Zhao family’s castle can also be exchanged for gold.”
Hearing this, Han Zhao looked at the official officer and immediately reacted.
"Yeah, I got it." He took the token, took out a penny of silver from his money bag, and threw it to the other party.
"Thank you, Mr. Song!" The officer took the money and his smile became more enthusiastic.
It's not him who makes money when the public makes money. He has already made money by selling a favor to Song Que, not to mention the reward.
"The auction is held every three months, and there are still fifty-one days until the next auction."
"Yeah." Han Zhao turned and left.
It's a pity that you can't copy the exercises and sell more copies, otherwise you can make more money.
When Han Zhao left the hall, the official took out more than ten pennies from his arms and handed them to his colleagues beside him.
Judging from the way the other person collected the money, you knew this was not the first time they had done this.
...
Han Zhao returned home and charged 2 taels of gold into the system.
[Current balance: 4 taels of gold]
[Collect 15 reminder fragments. Do you want to synthesize the entry? 】
[Synthesize once, consume 20 reminder fragments, 3 taels of gold...]
"No." Han Zhao thought silently in his heart, as the Yin Qi in his heart had been exhausted recently.
However, the Yuan Soul Bead seems to automatically accumulate Yin Qi, and he can absorb it every three months or so. The Yin Qi in it is enough for him to accumulate 10-15 reminders.
In a few days, he will be able to absorb the yin energy and then accumulate prompt simulations.
Han Zhao found that this also had some advantages, that is, he could wait until he needed serious reminders before absorbing the yin energy inside, so as to avoid hearing those frivolous words.
After selling the 'Songfeng Sword Technique', he can use the money to go to Lianfeng Villa to customize a better knife, and the remaining money can be saved for extra meals and to buy nourishing medicinal materials.
As long as he doesn't encounter a bottleneck, even if he doesn't perform simulations for a certain period of time, his current cultivation progress is not slow.
"There are still fifty-one days until the auction, so we can still make some more money."
...
A month and a half later.
During this period, Han Zhao killed several more wanted criminals, but they were all warriors in the skin training realm. The bounties were not high, and the skills on his body were also extremely high. In total, they only brought him forty taels of silver.
He doesn't plan to go out again in the next time.
The auction ended in a week. After another week, he went to the martial arts gym and told Lu Yi that he had made a breakthrough.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Han Zhao had just returned home in the evening and saw someone waiting at his door.
After asking, he found out that Lianfeng Villa was in some trouble and he needed to come out tomorrow.
After the other party left, Han Zhao returned to the room.
"Are you in trouble? I remember that in the last simulation, because of the incident at Lianfeng Villa, we seemed to have gotten into trouble with Feilong Village on Jiulian Mountain."
After all, you are in Lianfeng Villa, so you can't get money for nothing.
"Steady your hand." Thinking of this, Han Zhao was ready to simulate it first.
[Collect 30 reminder fragments to synthesize the entry? 】
[Synthesize once, consume 20 reminder fragments...]
"Synthesis, start simulation."
[At the age of eighteen, you broke through the realm of bone training. You were entrusted by Lianfeng Villa to contact Feilong Village. 】
[Back at Lianfeng Villa, you entrusted the deputy owner Zhu Kangsheng to forge a good knife for you. The other party said that he would spend all his money to forge the knife for you, hoping that you could kill Qi Xing, the master of Feilong Village, the Feilong Sword. You didn’t want to be an enemy of a blood-training warrior, so you didn’t agree. 】
[Later, you participated in the auction. 】
[A week later, you informed Lu Yi that you had achieved a breakthrough. He was overjoyed and promised to keep it a secret for you. Half a year later, news came out that you had broken through the bone training realm. 】
[At the age of twenty-two, your health regimen has reached the third level. You went to Lianfeng Villa to buy a better saber. Zhu Kangsheng made the request again, and you agreed. 】
[After spending two months checking out the locations, you sneaked up on Qi Xing while he was out, successfully killed him, and brought his head to Zhu Kangsheng. 】
[Three months later, Zhu Kangsheng informed you to get the knife. When you arrived, he jumped into the fire and died with the knife. You were shocked. A long bloody sword was made. You waved it lightly and felt the force of the sword. 】
[A month later, you went out of the city to Chenjiabao to attend the auction. You were attacked by a blood training master on the way, and you forced him back with three swords. 】
[You sensed danger and decided to return to Black Rock City. Three Blood Training Realm warriors launched a surprise attack on you on the way. You killed one person, seriously injured two others, and finally died of exhaustion. 】
"Is the water in Feilong Village so deep?"
"What kind of hatred does this deputy village owner have that he actually sacrificed his life?"
Han Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and fell into deep thought.
