In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
[Boiled Stone] and [Nong Wan] do not meet the conditions for the time being and can only be left for the future.
In the past few days, Lu Yuan made full use of the blending technique, constantly blending and enhancing the quality and efficacy of medicinal materials for consumption.
And after mastering this technique.
Even though his own true energy was limited and he could only reconcile medicinal materials a few times a day, his progress in refining qi had still been significantly improved. In just three to five days, the ray of true energy in his body had grown by more than 10%. .
This speed of progress undoubtedly made Lu Yuan very happy, and he saw the dawn of refining Qi faster.
After all, in addition to cultivating immortality for the sake of eternal life, it is also for the purpose of enjoying freedom between heaven and earth.
If you spend a long time and life just practicing meditation, you will be trapped in a cage in disguise and have nothing to do with freedom.
However, such rapid progress did not last long.
this day.
After mixing the last pack of medicinal ingredients in the house, swallowing it, and refining it with the taking technique.
Lu Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the empty medicine bag in front of him, and sighed:
"You are sitting on nothing, you have to make money..."
In the past few months since Kundu's death, he has never been to the ring again. In other words, his rocket-rising martial arts strength no longer allows him to bully the weak. All his expenses have been earned from the second competition. of seven hundred silver dollars.
Seven hundred silver dollars was a lot, but he couldn't resist the increasing demand for the quality of medicinal materials. For several months, it cost more than one hundred silver dollars just to buy medicinal materials every month. All his savings were finally spent in the past two days, leaving only pitiful people. of several silver dollars.
This forced him to think about making money.
In fact, there is a special technique in the earth evil technique that is used to make money, which is [Huang Bai].
This technique can produce gold and silver by burning elixirs, and it is a pure technique for making wealth.
However, like [Boiled Stone] and [Nong Wan], this technique requires a high-quality alchemy furnace to operate, and Lu Yuan's current environment does not allow it.
"It seems that we can only borrow some from the dignitaries and bullies in the city..."
Qing Yi Ke's vest was out of service for a long time. Lu Yuan was very restless and immediately left the park to go out on the street. While relaxing, he also inquired about information and looked for a suitable target.
We arrived at the busiest street market in Dongcheng.
Despite the hustle and bustle of the world and the bustling crowds, he still arrived at a teahouse in the downtown area immediately, ordered a pot of Qingbixia and two plates of dried fruit snacks, and just sat in the corner and listened to the chats of the tea drinkers:
"Oh, damn, business has become more and more difficult in recent years. Yesterday, a few black dogs came to my shabby shop. They asked me to donate some fire tax, but they also asked me to leave twenty silver dollars. , now another month or two has been wasted.”
"Twenty silver dollars? Those black dogs really dare to speak. There is already a water donation in the market, and they are asking for fire prevention tax. How can people live if they are skinned over and over again!"
"Oh no, we can't survive even if we run a small business, and those who farm are even worse off. I plan to find an opportunity to sell that shop off, so as not to suffer the anger."
"Old Li, be careful. What are you doing if the shop is closed?"
"I didn't think about it. If I don't have connections these days, whatever I do may be wiped clean by others. Alas... Speaking of which, there are still too few people like Qing Yi Ke. Otherwise, how could they dare to be so unscrupulous? !”
"Indeed, this guest in green clothes has only appeared twice. Some time ago, he scared those evil-doing officials and bullies, and the atmosphere was wiped out. It's a pity that it was just a flash in the pan, and now it has become the same as before... ....”
Although more than a month has passed, the topic of Tsing Yi Guests is still mentioned by people from time to time.
Various conversations and news were mixed in the teahouse, and Lu Yuan picked up everything with his extraordinary ears and eyes.
However, after listening for a while, he didn't get the information he wanted. He drank a pot of tea and ate two plates of dried fruit snacks before preparing to leave.
And it was at this time.
Outside the tea house, bursts of noise suddenly came from the busy street.
Lu Yuan, who happened to be sitting by the window, turned to look.
Then he saw a passage suddenly opened up in the bustling street, and there was an unkempt and ragged woman kneeling and kowtowing along the way. She seemed to be mumbling something, as if she was pious like a pilgrim.
Lu Yuan was wondering when most of the teahouse patrons heard the noise outside and rushed to the window to look around and marveled:
"It's Alin's wife again. She's been kowtowing on the street for almost a month, right?"
"Isn't it? It's been a whole month, and I have to go around the whole street every day. If I were her, I wouldn't be able to hold on."
"Sigh... She is now half-mad and half-mad, and she kowtows every day just to beg Qing Yi Ke to show up and seek justice for her. She looks really pitiful, and she doesn't know who gave her the idea... "
Um?
Hearing the conversation among the tea guests around him, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked a tea guest next to him who was nearly sixty years old:
"This old man, why is this Mrs. A Lin looking for a guest in Tsing Yi?"
Lu Yuan's current temperament is not that of an ordinary person. Although the tea guest also comes from a wealthy family, he did not dare to neglect him and said immediately:
"Isn't it possible that this little brother doesn't live here in the East City? This Alin's wife is a famous poor person in the neighborhood, and everyone knows what happened to her."
Lu Yuan said: "I really don't know, I would like to ask my father-in-law to clarify my doubts."
The old tea customer looked at the street market outside the tea house, sighed and said:
"Alin's wife was originally a widow. She remarried Lin Asheng, a helper in a wine shop, a few years ago. The two gave birth to a son, and they were quite affectionate.
After having a son, Lin Asheng worked as a helper in a liquor store, but he was smart and smart. He used his savings to buy a shop and opened another liquor shop soon.
He has been an apprentice for many years and is quite experienced in the art of brewing. He even created his own sophora flower brew with good taste, which became an instant hit in Dongcheng. The wine shop was packed with customers as soon as it opened. Life soon became prosperous and wealthy. "
After hearing this, Lu Yuan vaguely understood what happened and said:
"Then their business was targeted?"
The old tea guest also sighed:
"Exactly, Mr. Qin, a martial arts scholar from Dongcheng, became very interested in the secret recipe of sophora wine after passing by a wine shop and drank sophora flower wine once, and offered to buy the recipe, but Lin Asheng refused on the spot.
It was precisely because of this refusal that a huge disaster was laid for Lin Asheng's family. Mr. Qin himself was a martial arts scholar, and his brother was the master bookkeeper of Dongcheng. How could he get what he wanted to get from a small businessman like Lin Asheng? reject?
So within a few days, Mr. Qin sent his butler to Lin Asheng's wine shop to buy more than a dozen jars of Sophora japonica wine and asked him to deliver it to the Qin Mansion in person. Lin Asheng didn't think much about it at the time, and immediately took the waiter to pull the cart to deliver the wine, but he never thought that he would never come out of the Qin Mansion again..."
