Not long after Han Zhao left home, carriages from the Xu family, Su family, and Zhang family arrived at Xinqiaofang one after another.
Some leaders of small and medium-sized gangs have already gone a step ahead and paid a visit.
However, both groups of people came to nothing.
After asking around, they found out that Han Zhao had just left the city and could only return disappointed.
However, several gangs kept their ears and eyes nearby, waiting for Han Zhao to return to the city.
Compared to small and medium-sized gangs like theirs, which have large forces with quasi-martial artists at the Blood Training Realm, a Bone Training Realm martial artist is the strongest fighting force in the gang.
Especially Han Zhao, a bone-training warrior who has only been practicing for two years and is only eighteen years old, is the target of their competition.
There is no need for Han Zhao to really do anything. He only needs to show up during gang conflicts, and many problems will be solved easily, and a bloody battle can be avoided most of the time.
Han Zhao didn't return to Black Rock City until night.
After he went to Lianfeng Villa to retrieve the recast Frost Knife, he disguised himself again and went to the Knife Catcher's stronghold and the Chen Family Auction House in Jiulian Town to inquire about information about Wujin.
Finally, he learned that the Chen family's annual large-scale auctions sometimes sold some precious medicinal materials and forging materials. There had been several auctions of black gold in the past few years, and the most they sold was ten kilograms of black gold.
After learning the news, Han Zhao went to Jiulian Mountain to check out the information about Feilong Village.
After asking, I found out that in addition to collecting regular money from Lianfeng Villa, Feilong Village also had to peel off the skins of nearby towns and villages, as long as there were no Blood Training Realm warriors.
The strongest person in Feilong Village is the master Qi Xing, a master who achieved a blood breakthrough in the blood training realm.
As for the second to fourth masters, they are all in the bone training realm.
But last time the fourth master was hacked to death by Han Zhao.
As soon as Han Zhao came home, he met several members of small and medium-sized gangs squatting at their door and invited him to name them.
He said that he would think about it and not bother the other party anymore.
...
The next day, Han Zhao got up early.
He did not practice in the yard, but went directly out, had breakfast at a nearby stall, and went straight to the martial arts gym.
He told Lu Yi before that news of his breakthrough would be released in about six or seven months.
Apparently Lu Yi released the news yesterday.
Now that he has received the news, he naturally cannot make a show of it. After all, several big families have invited him.
"The businesses of the Su family and the Xu family are quite big, so they should have connections. As for the Zhang family..."
As Han Zhao walked, he thought about which restaurant would be good to go to.
First of all, the Xu family is certain.
Xu Ling was very interested in him. He had promised before that after the breakthrough, he would give priority to the Xu family.
Next is the Su family. The Su family's trading firm is even more powerful than the Xu family's trading firm.
However, although he does not dislike Su Yun, he does not have a good impression of her. It depends on the situation.
Finally, there is the Zhang family. If they want to deal with Feilong Village in the future, they will definitely offend the Zhang family. Disguise is not a panacea.
Instead, you can first go to the Zhang family to make a name for yourself, and then find out the strength of the Zhang family's several blood-training warriors and the techniques they practice.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.
As for the top forces that have martial arts practitioners, he will not join any of them.
Because these forces cannot get away easily even if they are just in name.
After a while, Han Zhao arrived at the door of the martial arts gym.
There are two stone lions more than one meter high standing at the door. The plaque on the door reads "Shashan Quanyuan".
It's so early, but standing at the door, you can hear shouts coming from the courtyard wall.
"It's been two years since I first came here."
Han Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had just come to this world and stood at the door like a minion. The situation now is much better than that then.
At this time, Han Zhao suddenly laughed out loud.
Because he remembered that when he knocked on the door, he saw Zhao Yuantu's dark bald head and the almost funny prompt of the system.
Han Zhao walked into the martial arts hall. The men in the outer courtyard were practicing boxing. Lu Yi was still lying on the wicker chair in the aisle between the front yard and the back yard, eating melon seeds leisurely.
It seems that his biggest hobby is eating melon seeds. Judging from the accumulated number of melon seed shells on the ground, he must have been eating them for a while.
"Han Zhao."
"Brother Han."
"Senior Brother Han."
Han Zhao walked towards Lu Yi, and there were obviously more apprentices greeting him in the yard.
He nodded in response and came to Lu Yi's side, "Master Lu."
"Here we come." Lu Yi narrowed his eyes, waved his hand towards the inner courtyard, and said, "Go in and practice for a while. Someone will come to you soon."
"okay."
Han Zhao walked into the inner courtyard.
Su Yun and Xu Ling were already sparring, while Zhang Tianwen was training alone.
"Junior Brother Han!" Xu Ling caught a glimpse of Han Zhao out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up immediately, he left Su Yun behind and ran over, saying playfully: "Congratulations."
"It's just a fluke." Han Zhao smiled and joked: "It seems you have to give me a monthly salary increase."
"Of course!" Xu Ling heard Han Zhao's answer and stretched out her hand to wave in front of him with a smile, "How about five taels a month? In addition, if you need any medicinal materials and precious beast meat in the future, we will Xu's Trading Company can sell it to you at the purchase price, which is nominal treatment.
If you are willing to sign a contract with Xu's Trading Company, the daily silver will be doubled, and we can provide you with a piece of monster meat that can increase your vitality and blood every three months. "
Han Zhao looked solemn, and Xu Ling agreed that this condition was not too high.
With the strength of a bone-training warrior, wearing leather armor to protect key positions, everyone is a martial artist, and killing a tiger is no problem.
Monsters are alien beasts that exceed the upper limit of race. Their strength far exceeds that of their kind. Monster meat is a great supplement to human warriors.
Just like the tiger demon meat that Han Zhao had eaten at Shengyue Tower before, only three or five blood training level quasi-martial arts masters could not defeat it.
Most people with money cannot buy these things.
That time Zhang Tianwen was able to buy tiger monster meat at Shengyue Tower because of his identity as the second son of the Zhang family, not money.
If Han Zhao has no attribute points, signing a contract is his only option in the future.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Xu. I choose to keep my name. If I am lucky enough to go further, I will definitely sign a contract with you." Han Zhao pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Although he has now practiced the 'Sword Drawing Technique' and his upper limit of strength has been increased, including the health-preserving skills, these are his trump cards that cannot be exposed.
Xu Ling is not in charge of Xu's Trading Company now. He signed the contract with his strength at the Bone Training Realm, so he can only be regarded as a vassal of the Xu family.
You may need to go out with the caravan at any time and encounter unnecessary dangers.
Only by becoming a blood-training realm warrior can one be a collaborator of Xu's firm.
He knew this well.
Just because he has a good relationship with Xu Ling will not affect his cultivation.
"Okay." Xu Ling was a little disappointed. In fact, she obtained the conditions for signing the contract from her father.
Such conditions are already extremely generous for a warrior in the bone refining realm, and if you add some more, it will be the treatment of a warrior in the blood refining realm.
Junior Brother Han looks kind and gentle on the outside, but he is really stubborn on the inside and thinks of everything on his own... Xu Ling sighed inwardly, she really wanted to help Han Zhao.
[Judging from Xu Ling's expression, if you propose to marry into the family now, your success rate will definitely increase! 】
A prompt appeared, but Han Zhao chose to ignore it.
It's not the time to start a family yet. There will be chaos in Yunzhou in a few years. If he drags his family with him, he won't be able to run away.
At least you have to become a martial arts master before you think about marriage.
"Junior Brother Han, congratulations." Zhang Tianwen stepped forward with a forced smile.
"Senior Brother Zhang is interested." Han Zhao bowed his hand.
"Junior Brother Han, the eldest brother asked me to invite you to the Zhang family." Zhang Tianwen's smile did not diminish. Yesterday, he was first disgusted by Zhang Wu, and then scolded by his father. Now he has to send an invitation to Han Zhao. Really It was extremely frustrating, but I had to keep a smile on my face.
"In that case, I would like to thank the Zhang family for their kindness, and also thank Senior Brother Zhang." Han Zhao nodded with a smile.
With the Zhang family's money, it will probably be a good thing to deal with the Zhang family in the future.
"..." Zhang Tianwen was startled.
He was already prepared for Han Zhao's rejection, and then went back to add fuel to the fire and let the villain Zhang Wu deal with Han Zhao.
Now Han Zhao suddenly agreed, which caught him off guard.
It was like hitting cotton with all his strength, and he almost couldn't get up after holding in his breath.
"Senior Brother Zhang?" Han Zhao tilted his head and looked at him.
"Ah? Oh, oh!" Zhang Tianwen reacted and said quickly: "I will go back and tell my elder brother."
After saying that, Zhang Tianwen cupped his hands and left quickly.
He might go crazy if he stays here any longer.
