Most of the Vajra Bear monsters live in mountains or primeval dense forests, ranging from the tenth level of Qi refining in their infancy to the Dzogchen Qi refining level in their prime.
Its bear claws, fur, inner elixir essence and blood, etc. can be used as medicine or to refine weapons. It is extremely rare. Therefore, for the beast-hunting monks who live near the forest, every time they encounter it, it is often accompanied by a bloody storm.
This danger not only comes from the anger of the diamond bear monster, but also from the coveting and plotting of teammates around you. Without him, who can stay rational in the face of huge interests?
The Tianding Chamber of Commerce in Yuncheng owns the inner elixir and fur of the Vajra Bear. The essence and blood were bought by an unknown monk seven years ago. If you want to buy it, you can buy it from branches in other countries. It will take half a year, not counting other expenses incurred along the way. After getting it, Chen Mo estimates that the price will at least triple.
Besides, his situation simply didn't allow him to wait that long.
It was his mistake this time. Chen Mo mainly blamed himself. If he hadn't been in a hurry to temper his body, but waited until everything was ready, how could such an unexpected situation happen?
But then again, if a person who is about to starve to death suddenly sees a table of delicious food and is forced to hold back his chopsticks, it would be really embarrassing.
Chen Mo took the storage bag handed over by shopkeeper Wang and looked inside. What made him curious was that it was forty green medium-grade spiritual stones. After thinking about it, he already knew the identity of the buyer. A rough outline.
"When will the next batch of Vajra Bear Demonic Beast Essence and Blood arrive? Chen wants the exact time." Chen Mo took a deep breath and slowly said to Shopkeeper Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say...but I will definitely deliver it to my brother before the Tianding Chamber of Commerce. If I can't do it, I will compensate you five times for the loss of your spirit stones!" "
As early as when he heard that the demonic beast's essence and blood was not in Ningxiangzhai, Chen Mo had already thought of three ways to deal with it.
The first way is to come to the door to explain the purpose of the visit and discuss the purchase. He is reasonable in this matter. If the other party plays a arrogant and deceitful way, Chen Mo doesn't mind using them to practice the power of Xiaoxuan Gong.
However, there are two prerequisites for this matter. The first is that the person does not have to buy it, and the second is that the buyer cannot be a monk in the foundation building stage, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable if he catches up.
The second option is to wait for the next batch of goods to arrive, but the disadvantage is that no one can tell when the goods will arrive. It is very likely that by the time the essence and blood of the Vajra Bear arrives, the effect of his body-tempering medicine will be wasted.
Moreover, he is about to go to the Rogue Cultivator Conference. Being able to completely condense his physical body will give him an extra level of protection against the unknown dangers he faces.
The last way is to try his luck there. Chen Mo will never consider it as the best choice unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Shopkeeper Wang, since the goods have been robbed, you must let Chen know who did it. Otherwise, if he just slipped away like this, where would you let Chen's face go?"
Chen Mo snorted coldly and said, his words full of dissatisfaction with Ningxiangzhai.
When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he seemed to wake up from a dream. He secretly cursed himself for being confused. After being a businessman for so many years, he had forgotten about face. Putting himself in his shoes, he, a young and vigorous monk, could swallow his food so calmly. Do you want to take this tone?
He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Chen, I know you have some connections, but that person is really not something you can match..."
Chen Mo stared at him without saying a word. Shopkeeper Wang could feel that many monks in the room were secretly looking at him.
"All right..."
Shopkeeper Wang signaled Chen Mo to come over, muttered a few words and then moved away: "Brother, that's all I can say. Brother Chen, please do what you want, but don't let Ningxiangzhai suffer anymore." ”
Chen Mo's expression softened a little: "This is natural, but it's a matter of essence and blood, so I ask Shopkeeper Wang to pay more attention to it."
After saying that, Chen Mo quietly took out three low-grade spiritual stones from his sleeves and handed them to Shopkeeper Wang calmly.
"It's easy to say. If Brother Chen needs it again, we will do our best to do it." Shopkeeper Wang spoke impeccably and quietly accepted the three spiritual stones.
...
Chen Mo was sitting in a remote teahouse in Yuncheng, carefully tasting the spiritual tea in the tea cup. The yellowed tea leaves were floating in the cup, and he picked it up and put it down just like his actions.
Life is like tea, calm when it sinks and indifferent when it floats. Nine times out of ten things will be unsatisfactory, so just do your best.
Through chatting with the boy in the teahouse, Chen Mo learned that there were no foundation-building monks where he was going, which was considered a blessing in misfortune.
In fact, there are not many foundation-building monks in the entire Cloud City. Who would be willing to stay in such a place with thin spiritual energy for a while if it wasn't for some important matters?
"Chu Mansion...Chu Keqing..."
Chen Mo's fingertips tapped the table rhythmically, and he was thinking about how to get the blood of the Vajra Bear demon beast. The Chu Mansion was not far away. If he rushed in blindly, he might not be punched. He would be lucky if he was beaten to death.
At the same time, during the conversation, he learned something that everyone in Chu State knew: that in Chu State, only relatives of the emperor and his descendants were qualified to be surnamed Chu.
If civilians have the surname Chu, they should always take the upper part and change it from Chu to Lin. This is not a taboo.
Chen Mo first sent a jade slip to Jia Jiao and told him that if he did not return to the Tianding Chamber of Commerce tonight, he would immediately tell his uncle Zhu Chen to come forward so that he could save him some face.
He was thinking about the worst first.
Later, he bought a few mid-level talisman compilations that could emit strong smoke at a street stall in Yuncheng. If he couldn't be beaten, he could always run away and not be captured alive.
After everything was ready and possible problems were sorted out, Chen Mo slowly drank the spiritual tea, took out a low-grade spiritual stone, and headed to the Chu Mansion not far away.
This is a tall mansion. There are two young and strong servants guarding the door. Chen Mo walked to stand in front of the two men and said in a calm voice: "I want to meet your young master. Go and deliver the message personally."
With Chen Mo's eyesight, he could naturally see that the two servants who were looking after the house and nursing home were both unparalleled masters in the world. Their tight temples and smooth palm peaks well explained this.
The two of them remained unmoved. If only one person could command them, there would be no need to look at the door here. The voice of the servant on the right was like thunder. If an ordinary person heard the shout, his heart would tremble.
"Send your name!"
Without saying a word, Chen Mo smashed the exquisite stone lion carved into the rocks on the right side of the door with a "pop". He did not use spiritual power in this blow, just pure physical strength.
The gravel exploded, and fine pieces of stone flew everywhere. The two servants looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
"Chen is not here to commit murder. For the last time, go in and report!"
Although this sentence was unremarkable, when the two servants heard it, it was as if they had fallen into the cold of an ice cellar for thousands of years. One of them was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the door and reported inside.
Not long after, a young man in rich clothes poked out from the door. Seeing that the stone lion on one side of the door had collapsed, he frowned slightly and cupped his hands towards Chen Mo and said, "Fellow Taoist, what do you want from my Master Chu when you come here this time?" What are you doing?"
Although the person in front of him destroyed the stone lions of the Chu Mansion in public, the young man in Chinese clothes had no intention of getting angry immediately. He would only make things worse by rashly turning against the other person. He would always ask for the reason.
Chen Mo said: "Let the guests talk outside the door. Is this how the Chu Mansion treats guests?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across the brows of the young man in fine clothes, but he suppressed it easily: "This is because Mr. Tang failed to entertain me well. Fellow Taoist, please come in."
Under the silent gaze of two servants, Chen Mo and the young man surnamed Tang entered the Chu Mansion. After following him to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way, they entered a side hall with four people sitting on the left and right sides of the room. The monks couldn't help but pay attention when they saw the young man named Tang bringing a stranger in.
"Including the young man named Tang, there are actually five cultivators above the tenth level of Qi refining in the small Chu Mansion..."
Chen Mo calmly entered the room, sat on the last chair, closed his eyes and rested.
He naturally knew that there was no Chu Keqing in the room. If he opened his mouth to ask, no one would pay attention and he would be left behind. It was better to stop quietly and wait for the rightful owner to appear.
"...Brother Tang, what is this guy's background?"
A monk saw that Chen Mo was sitting still. Out of curiosity, he asked the young man named Tang in a low voice.
"Tang doesn't know either, but with my eleventh level of Qi refining, I can't see through this person's cultivation level. It's best not to act rashly and wait for Mr. Chu to have a secret discussion before solving the problem."
Several people whispered together and soon forgot about Chen Mo's existence. It was fine, and he was happy with it.
After waiting for about half an hour, the sound of the door being pushed came from the room inside. A middle-aged man with a ferocious face walked out first. After a cursory look around the people present, he quickly left the place.
Then a tall and thin young man walked out. He was very handsome. Chen Mo could clearly feel that as soon as this man came out, all the eyes in the room were focused on him.
It is a pity that this person has a scar on his left cheek, which ruins the overall beauty. Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and knew that this was the real master. He could not see through this person's cultivation!
"Who are you and why do you look unfamiliar?"
Chu Keqing looked at Chen Mo, who was sitting alone in the last seat, and asked.
Chen Mo stood up silently and threw the storage bag containing forty middle-grade spiritual stones to Chu Keqing. The latter took it and looked inside with a look of sudden realization: "You are the one who bought the diamond bear." A person with monster blood?"
"Fellow Daoist Chu, this bottle of blood essence is of great significance to Chen. I hope we can discuss it carefully. In terms of price, Chen can compensate you with some spiritual stones."
Chu Keqing smiled and shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible. Please ask fellow Taoist friends to please come back. If you feel that the spiritual stones are too few, I can double them for you."
Chen Mo stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Do you think Fellow Daoist Chu that the problem is with the spirit stone?"
"Whatever you think, Tang Fang, see you off."
Chu Keqing no longer thought about talking to Chen Mo, and ordered the young man named Tang who let him in to leave: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please!"
Chen Mo was unmoved.
Tang Fang's face darkened: "Fellow Daoist Chen, don't toast or drink as a fine. You must know that all your actions just now are already excessive!"
"Oh?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Are you going too far? The blood essence and blood that Chen had reserved were forcibly bought, and Chen was sent away after being given a few hundred spiritual stones?"
"Shut up! Do you know where this place is!"
A middle-aged monk sitting on his right hand suddenly slapped the table and stood up. Seeing that Chen Mo was young and his cultivation was definitely not advanced, he shouted angrily: "Brother Chu asked you to leave, just leave as soon as possible, what nonsense are you talking about here! "
"Your name is Chu Keqing?" Chen Mo snorted coldly: "Just get out of here! You have no right to speak here!"
"boom!"
The other three people couldn't sit still. The four of them were of the same mind to a certain extent. Chen Mo insulted this person like this, which was a disguised slap in their faces. The spiritual power fluctuations in his body surged out unabashedly and looked towards him. Chen Mo's eyes also had a hint of murderous intent.
Tang Fang looked at the reactions of several people and quietly took a few steps back to avoid being affected.
Chu Keqing's originally indifferent expression also showed a hint of interest. As the saying goes, how dare you go to Liangshan without twos and threes? This person broke into Chu Mansion blatantly, so he must have a trump card that can make him feel at ease!
In this way, we can explore his reality.
"Repeat what you just said!" The person from before said to Chen Mo in a cold tone. The four of them gradually walked toward Chen Mo in a semi-circle. As long as he dared to speak nonsense again, they would not mind breaking his legs. , thrown out of the Chu Mansion like a dead dog.
"Group fight?"
Chen Mo smiled. He happened to have no place to use the physical training martial arts of Xiao Xuan Gong, so he would practice with these blind monks today!
Soon enough, Chen Mo took action first and went straight to the person who provoked him before. He didn't use any spiritual power, just the power of his physical body!
Four figures also took action at the same time, quickly surrounding Chen Mo, and ferocious killing moves were directed at him. They also did not use spells, but only used the spiritual power of the tenth level of Qi Refining to bless his body!
"roll!"
Chen Mo shouted angrily, and after using the body that had been tempered by Xiaoxuan Gong, he used the Suzaku Hand technique. With a mighty roar, he slapped the person before him with a roar. After a dull sound, the person "poofed" Spurting out a mouthful of blood, the whole person flew out like a dumped sack, smashing several tables and chairs, and spreading dust all over the room.
One person was seriously injured with a casual blow, and the other three were shocked. They dared not hold back, but used their most ruthless moves. Chen Mo's eyes flashed brightly, and he staggered away from the killing moves coming from the right with his shadowy steps. He punched out with his left hand to catch the eagle claw of the figure above, and his right leg collided fiercely with the oncoming sharp flying kick!
In just one breath, Chen Mo responded to the trio's sure-kill move. The person who used the eagle claws looked fierce and was about to crush Chen Mo's fist, but it was like a child who had no power to tie a chicken. It was as difficult as crushing a stone, but it only left five faint fingerprints on Chen Mo's fist!
"How is that possible?" He roared crazily in his heart! The last time I fought against a wild boar that was at the tenth level of Qi refining, I crushed its hind legs with one claw. How could it have hit the iron plate?
"Chen, I want you to pinch as much as you can!" Chen Mo snorted coldly, and an extremely overbearing Yin spirit force surged out from his fist, following his five fingerprints and entering the man's spiritual veins. Suddenly, there was a chill. The anger spread throughout his body, making him tremble violently!
"What kind of skill is this!" He was so frightened that he made an inadvertent mistake. Chen Mo caught the flaw and punched his chest. His body fell back a few feet uncontrollably. At the same time, the Yin spirit power became truly domineering. The place was also revealed. This person could no longer join the battle, so he quickly used his spiritual power to drive out the strange cold air from his body.
When he withdrew like this, the other two people were harmed. The monk who had kicked Chen Mo earlier felt as if he had hit the ten thousand year black iron, and the part of his calf bone that came into contact with it had lost all feeling.
"Back off first!!"
He suddenly spoke, but it was too late. The monk who had been dodged by the Shadow Step rushed past the defense, and was knocked unconscious by Chen Mo's hand knife on the neck. He fell limply to the ground. The next moment, he saw Chen Mo's light and fluttering eyes. The palm print was on his chest, followed by a sweet voice, and he fell to the ground with a sluggish expression.
"Do you still want to test it? Fellow Daoist Chu!"
Chen Mo looked at Chu Keqing who was sitting in the main seat with a cold tone. How could he not know that everything in front of him was tacitly approved by this person!
