After watching briefly for a while, Shen Cong left the venue of the martial arts conference.
He had seen all Zhong Linggu's techniques and there was no need to learn them anymore. He was already familiar with Chen Jiuzhou's techniques.
The next step is to go to major medicine halls to get back the top medicinal materials he ordered to refine elixirs and break through to the master level.
However, just as Shen Cong left the venue, two figures clearly followed behind him.
Shen Cong is now a first-level powerhouse, so there is no need to doubt his perception. No matter how well the opponent hides, he cannot avoid his perception.
The other party seemed to be positioned, and Shen Cong knew every move.
During the few months that Shen Cong stayed in Qingzhou Mansion, he saw a lot of little thieves, and even some ninth- and even eighth-grade warriors showed up.
But this person's cultivation has reached the fifth level, which is really rare.
It is as difficult for ordinary people to practice martial arts as it is to reach the sky. Those who are successful in cultivation are often proud of their temperament. Even if they are only seventh-level, they will rarely lose face to engage with some warriors who are particularly low in strength.
After all, warriors have the arrogance of warriors, and there are very few people like Shen Cong who don't care about face.
Shen Cong walked through two streets and came to a dark alley. After a moment, the figure rushed in quickly, but no one was seen.
"Did this kid find me? So he came here to get rid of me? Damn it, a fat sheep escaped. If you don't catch enough fat sheep, I'm afraid I will be whipped by the patriarch again."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a puff and a pain in his chest. He lowered his head and saw in disbelief that his chest was instantly pierced by a hand.
Was he killed instantly?
He is a majestic fifth-grade warrior. Even if he is attacked by someone, he cannot be killed instantly. The opponent can penetrate his chest so easily with one move, without even letting him know how strong this guy is.
He is at least above the fourth level!
Damn it, how could I target such a powerful warrior?
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, but there was no room for recovery. With the use of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Technique, his body quickly dried up.
After turning into a mummy, Shen Cong's spiritual energy shook and shattered his body into powder.
Shen Cong shook off the dust, rummaged around in the other party's pocket, and quickly took out a token with the Qingzhou government office engraved on it, as well as several thousand-tael silver notes and several pills.
"Qingzhou Government Office, it seems that the big shots in the Qingzhou Government Office may have really mastered the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique, so they started to send their men to devour them.
I really can’t stay in Qingzhou Mansion any longer. "
Putting the things in his pocket, Shen Cong quickly went to various medicine halls to get his own medicinal materials one by one.
However, what puzzled him was that he did not get all the medicinal materials required for his order, but only a small part, and they were all relatively low-quality medicinal materials.
This made Shen Cong quite confused, because in Daxia, the state capital was the largest administrative unit under Kyoto, equivalent to the capital city of a province in the previous life. If you want to buy resources here, it is definitely much easier, which makes no sense. It's been several months, but I still haven't prepared all the medicinal ingredients for myself.
However, when he asked the shopkeepers of the medicine halls, he could not find out the reason. Some medicine halls were even willing to pay a slightly higher deposit, leaving Shen Cong confused.
Until he came to Chen Yu's medicine hall.
"Ouch, Senior Han is here."
When Chen Yu saw Shen Cong, he immediately came forward with a sense of apology and greeted him with his hands. Looking at his expression, Shen Cong had roughly guessed that the medicinal materials were gone.
"Senior Han, I'm so sorry. I have only prepared part of the medicinal materials you ordered from me, and some of them are out of stock in the short term."
Shen Cong said without any surprise:
"Who took my medicinal materials? Don't try to fool me with excuses. I have a right to know, right?"
"this..."
Chen Yu smiled helplessly.
"Senior Han, to be honest, he is from the Wu family in Qingzhou Prefecture. They have recently collected all the precious medicinal materials in Qingzhou Prefecture, causing the supply of medicinal materials to increase.
I don’t want to let others take away the medicinal materials you ordered, but the Wu family is too powerful and I really have no choice.
However, I would like to advise you, why don't you just forget it and I will keep it for you if there are good things in the future. There is really no need to compete with the Wu family. "
"Is this Wu family really so powerful?"
Chen Yu nodded and said seriously:
"Yes, it is really powerful. The Wu family is an aristocratic family that has developed in Qingzhou for more than a hundred years and has existed since the previous dynasty. There have been two first-level warriors in the family. Even though they are slightly declining now, they can reach third-level warriors. , and there are a few of them, which can be regarded as one of the few top aristocratic families in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture."
Shen Cong nodded.
"I understand, help me pack the medicinal materials."
"Okay, I'll get you the medicinal materials and the refundable deposit."
Shen Cong got the things and left the medicine hall directly.
"The Wu family is really overbearing. They will take the medicinal materials ordered by others as soon as they ask. Is Shen Cong's things so easy to steal?"
Although the medicine hall refunded the deposit, without those precious medicinal materials to refine the elixir, Shen Cong would not be able to break through quickly. For martial arts practitioners, the earlier the breakthrough, the shorter and easier the next breakthrough will be. On the contrary, delaying The longer it takes, the worse it gets.
Human lifespan is limited, and breakthroughs must be accelerated to continuously increase one's lifespan and thereby promote a virtuous cycle.
Can't keep up with every step, can't keep up with every step.
The Wu family only relied on the blessings of their ancestors, so they dared to be so presumptuous, but Shen Cong himself was his backer, how could he be afraid of a mere Wu family?
Take it to midnight to see who has the strongest backer!
...
On the other side, deep in the underground palace of Qingzhou Mansion.
The two figures were like frightened birds in the underground palace, fleeing in panic, but the underground palace was like a maze, and they didn't know where the exit was.
"Brother, I...I can't run anymore. Please leave quickly and leave me alone."
"Don't say anything depressing. We're going to run away together. I'll hold you up and let's go quickly. If the devil finds out, it will be terrible."
As soon as the words fell, two big hands suddenly stretched out from the front and directly caught the two people's necks. The two struggled in fear, but the skin and flesh on their bodies slowly began to disappear, and soon they turned into two bodies. The skinny mummy completely lost its struggle.
The owner of those hands threw them aside and looked at his increasingly white skin with a smile on his face.
"The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique is indeed the best technique that is the foundation of Daqian's country. Its power is simply unparalleled. Not only does my lost energy and blood come back, but it's even more than before. Judging from this, it won't be long before I You can successfully break through the realm of Grandmaster!
Once I step into the Grandmaster realm, it will be difficult for the Great Xia royal family to kill me. I will devour it like crazy. I only need to step into the True Martial Realm to open the Heavenly Gate and enter the Divine Martial Realm!
There will be a new legend in this world! "
