Lu Jing was already upset because a bowl of rat tail soup inexplicably connected the two channels of Ren and Du.
I didn't expect that after returning to the city, I would be forced to accept constant congratulations from people from all walks of life.
It's like... a scene that rubs salt into a large wound.
The key thing was that Lu Jing couldn't show any dissatisfaction during this period.
The dark-faced Mr. Zhao on the side had already made him realize how Versailles he had been before.
After all, most people in the martial arts world are just like his master Zhang Sanfeng.
As a young man, he studied hard and practiced hard all his life, not daring to get tired. However, in the end, he was limited by his qualifications and found it difficult to enter the mainstream.
Even these second- and third-rate gang leaders and sect leaders in front of Lu Jing might already be figures in the eyes of ordinary martial arts people and the people in the city, and they are even admired by many people.
It seems like it’s just one step away from being top-notch.
But because of this, they know better than anyone how difficult this step is.
Even for the top sects such as Xijian Pavilion and Xuankong Temple, which select their disciples very strictly, their disciples are more talented than the others, but in the end, only a few people in each generation can reach the first-class realm.
Previously, Zhao Banshan lamented that it was only at the age of forty-six that he opened up the two channels of Ren and Du and became a world-famous peerless master. But in fact, according to the average age of first-class masters, he was still very young at that time.
Of course, it depends on who you are comparing to.
In fact, everyone knows that Lu Jing is good at martial arts.
To be able to kill Xiao, the King of Hell, by one person is a martial arts skill that cannot be higher.
In the past two years, when everyone talks about the masters of Wujiang City, the first ones they talk about must be Zhao Banshan and Mr. Zhao, and then Lu Jing.
Considering that Mr. Zhao has already washed his hands of others, it would not cause any criticism if he simply said that Lu Jing was the number one martial artist in Wujiang City without being too modest.
In addition, everyone sincerely believes that 90% of the time, Shaoxia Lu will be able to break through to the first-class level.
But no one thought that this day would come so quickly.
The first-class realm itself is already out of reach, and for a first-class person under the age of twenty, even the storytellers in the tea house may not be able to make up such outrageous stories.
So while everyone was congratulating, they could not hide the jealousy in their eyes.
There is no way, this is human nature.
While being happy for Lu Shaoxia, everyone can't help but ask themselves a question, that is, they are all the same people, with one nose and two eyes, why is there such a big gap? !
In short, Lu Jing took into account the psychological endurance of everyone, and saw that Mr. Zhao had been holding the riding whip tightly, so he had to go against his will in order to prevent the situation from getting further out of control and causing any tragedy.
A stiff smile appeared on his face, further accepting the curses he received from everyone.
"Young Master Lu has outstanding talent, and his internal strength will definitely become deeper in the future!"
"Young Master Lu is invincible in his magical skills. We, Wujiang City, have another first-class master. It is truly a blessing for the righteous way! What a blessing for the martial arts!"
"Young Master Lu entered the first class at the age of nineteen. If he continues to practice, he may one day reach the legendary realm of Shattered Void and become an immortal!"
"Young Master Lu..."
This is probably one of the rare scenes where the congratulator and the congratulated person are smiling and their hearts are bleeding.
While thinking, damn it, why not me! The other side is also thinking, damn, why me!
After finally dealing with everyone one by one, Lu Jing found that it was almost noon.
Someone else suggested that they go to Gonglou to set up a few tables and have a good celebration, but the exhausted Lu Jing declined politely.
He found a clean stall on the roadside and ate a bowl of rice in a hurry. After that, Lu Jing rushed to the herbal medicine shop on Gulou Street in Baicaomen.
Life is not a game and there is no rollback function.
Now that the move to becoming a first-class player is a done deal, Lu Jing can only make some remedies in other directions.
The most urgent task is to focus more on falling into the mortal world.
Because from now on, Mr. Lu may have to point to this poison to hang himself.
The pharmacists in the medicine shop had already known him, and they all saluted him when he entered the door.
Although Lu Jing was anxious, he still politely returned the gifts one by one. Then he saw the old pharmacist who had first received him put down the prescription in his hand and walked towards him.
"Did Young Master Lu come to buy medicine again?"
"good."
Lu Ding nodded. In fact, after he had mastered the Crazy One Hundred and Eight Staffs, he no longer needed to fall into the mortal world. He just bought some and kept them for later use, and he almost never came here again after that.
"Is it still the five-flavored medicine from before?" the old pharmacist asked again.
"Yes, as much as you want this time." Lu Jing replied.
It was a matter of life and death. Now was not the time to worry about money. Lu Jing still had about 6,000 taels of silver on him, plus the remaining 5,000 taels of silver reward for killing Xiang Feixiong.
The total amount exceeded 10,000 taels, and Lu Jing no longer thought about the body-protecting martial arts in Duobao Pavilion.
He planned to use half of it to stock up on medicine first. You must know that five thousand taels of silver was only enough for him to drink for two and a half years. Baicaomen gave it to him directly at the purchase price for his sake.
The old pharmacist didn't say anything when he heard this, and asked a medicine boy to go to the warehouse to get the medicine.
However, in the end the medicine boy only took out about a thousand taels of medicine, which meant he could only drink it for about half a year.
Lu Jing asked the old pharmacist, "When will the next batch of medicine arrive?"
"I'm not sure," the old pharmacist shook his head, "I told you, Young Master Lu, that the most precious of the five herbs you want are fire lantern grass and white-eyed silkworm's coat. Among them, fire lantern grass grows in the Western Regions, and white-eyed silkworm's coat." Produced in the East China Sea.”
"However, since the end of last year, for some reason, the weather in the Western Region has been much wetter than in previous years. The caravans there said that a lot of vegetation has grown on the Gobi desert that was originally only sand and gravel, and some oases that had disappeared have also grown. Reappear.
"However, fire lantern grass has very strict environmental requirements and must grow in extremely hot and dry places. Therefore, the current output is very small, and we can't get it for the time being. And white-eyed silkworm clothes..."
"Is there something wrong with Baimu Canyi?" Lu Jing's heart sank when he heard the old pharmacist's words, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be more than one bad news.
"The world is not peaceful now. A very powerful group of pirates emerged from the East China Sea the year before last. The leader is a first-rate master who claims to have inherited the Qinglian Sword Sect. His power has grown stronger over the years. It is said that he now has second-rate pirates. There are already dozens of experts.
"Moreover, they are colluding with the devil, and they appear and disappear. Neither the government nor the righteous can do anything about them. The East China Sea is now in a mess with them, and there are very few white-eyed silkworms this year. The sect master actually ordered the person responsible for purchasing medicinal materials. Pay more attention to what Lu Shaoxia wants.
"That's why we were able to accumulate this inventory this year, but it will be very difficult to buy new goods."
