The power of the dagger became stronger and stronger, and the two short swords could no longer withstand the full force of the attack.
The last time I forcibly broke Lin Que's dagger, the rapier in his sleeve was damaged.
Now that we have ebony, a sword-making material that can move Jie Jia, of course we have to forge two new swords.
"I still have a few good-quality swords that can be melted down and used as materials."
He took all the items from the Baihutang warehouse and planned to sell them.
"This is enough." Jiejia pointed at the ebony.
Then he glanced at Chen Mu again: "It's best not to take out anything with the White Tiger Hall mark."
"What White Tiger Hall?" Chen Mu looked confused.
Still don’t admit it?
Jie Jia curled his lips and shook his head: "Jing Hong Gang has offered a reward. Anyone who can provide clues to Lin Que's death will receive 10,000 taels; anyone who finds the murderer will receive 20,000 taels; and anyone who kills him will receive 50,000 taels."
"I'm not a bounty hunter, why are you telling me this?" Chen Mu frowned, looking puzzled.
"Didn't you do it?" Jie Jia rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Mu.
"Mr. Jie, we have known each other for such a long time. Am I so unbearable in your eyes?" Chen Mu's eyes were filled with disappointment. Then he emphasized sincerely, "I am just a law-abiding little scholar. How could I be involved in such a murder case?!"
"Your misunderstanding of me is too deep." Chen Mu felt lonely all over.
Jie Jia Lianpi was twitched, he looked as shameless as ever.

Chapter 68 First Stage
Before Jiejia left, Chen Mu called him with a chuckle and handed him a white porcelain bottle as big as a fist.
"There are good things in there, you can use them, so I'm giving them to you."
Jie Jia didn't understand what was going on, so he took the bottle and opened it. The knowledgeable Jie Jia's face turned dark.
Looking at Chen Mu smiling with his eyes narrowed, he felt even angrier.
Jie Jia put the things away expressionlessly and glanced at Chen Mu with his bright yellow eyes.
"Really giving it to me?"
Chen Mu nodded immediately: "Send it!"
Jie Jia asked calmly, "Do you know what it is?"
Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, saying that he knew nothing.
"It's called Jinyang Pills." Jiejia said with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Red Boat Secret Medicine, in the brothel, twenty taels a pill."
“And there is no demand for it.”
After saying that, he looked at Chen Mu with a smile on his face.
Twenty taels per pill, so a bottle of six pills weighs one hundred and twenty taels!
There is still a price but no demand, maybe it can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels!
Just giving away 150 taels? Chen Mu felt distressed and looked at Jie Jia eagerly.
"You said you would give it to me." Jiejia smiled and walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Chen Mu: “…”
……
Shanglinfang, Chen’s house.
Chen Mu sat in front of the stone table in the pavilion.
On the table was a book, The Blue-Eyed Golden Ape Shape-Training Technique. It was bought from Jie Jia at a high price.
Not long after I got it, I started to encounter many twists and turns, such as giving gifts to people and moving house, and I never had the time to calm down and practice.
Now that the Jinghong Gang has offered him a bounty, Chen Mu doesn't dare to go out, and has plenty of time to study new techniques.
Walking out of the pavilion, Chen Mu bent down, raised his left hand to grasp, and reached down with his right hand to twist his wrist, as if trying to reach for the moon.
Stand with one foot in front of the other, with your heels slightly lifted, your toes gripping the ground, and your forefoot supporting yourself.
Keeping his posture still, Chen Mu adjusted his breathing. He had memorized the 180 breathing rhythm cycles. He adjusted his breathing immediately and felt the changes in the center of gravity of his whole body at the same time.
The Red Falcon's practice of shape-shifting requires constant running and movement.
The Green-Eyed Golden Ape's body-shaping techniques are mostly static movements.
There are eighteen postures and one hundred and eighty breathing rhythms in the Yi Jin stage.
Chen Mu needs to complete the changes of 18 postures and maintain stability in these 180 rhythms. And each posture has its corresponding breathing rhythm.
Only when the back and forth echo each other and form a cycle can it be considered an efficient practice. If you are not careful, the rhythm will be disrupted.
After trying for half an hour, a sudden enlightenment came to my mind.
It was as if they had found some kind of rhythm, and the originally stumbling coordination suddenly became smooth.
Chen Mu looked at the gray wall in front of him. As expected, a new entry appeared at the bottom.
Writing: 1785/10000/Level ;
Picture: 1652/10000/Second Order;
Throw: 413/10000/fourth level;
Red Falcon Form Training: Extreme;
Cooking skills: 4376/10000/Level ;
Medicine: 6576/10000/Level ;
Hidden Blade: 4981/10000/Level ;
Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Spell: 5752/10000/Level ;
Green-eyed Golden Ape Shape Training Technique: 5/10000/First Level;
“Keep up the good work and keep up the pace.”
As a result, the last breath was slightly too short, and the cycle was not completed. The proficiency only increased slightly.
"It's another big project." Chen Mu shrugged.
I don't know when I can achieve the full potential of Jiapo.
"No wonder so many people in the martial arts world are flocking to medicines like the Dragon Transformation Pill."
On one side is the endless nourishment of the soul, and on the other side is the improvement that is visible to the naked eye.
Chen Mu guessed that even if the people in the martial arts world knew about the malicious intentions of the noble families and the hidden dangers of the elixir, they would still not be able to resist taking it.
After all, as long as you master the form, you can dominate the area, enjoy endless wealth and beauties. If you are lucky enough to master the wandering spirit, you will be a big boss with countless power and wealth. Who wouldn't envy you?
“Foresight and foresight are often only possessed by a small number of people, while the desire for quick success and instant benefits is the norm.”
"Luckily I have the proficiency Gray Wall."
If it weren't for this plug-in to support me.
Who knows, Chen Mu might also take the Dragon Transformation Pill, and then be forced into the trap of the aristocratic families, working hard to gain personal benefits, all for the sake of pill cultivation.
"Let's continue to work hard."
……
Chen family residence in Shanglinfang.
There was originally a small garden on the east side of the courtyard, planted with some beautiful flowers that Chen Mu couldn't name.
Chen Mu found the flowers pleasing to the eye and pulled them all out in joy.
Then the land was turned over and prepared, and various seasonal vegetables were planted.
Unfortunately, the time is too short and the vegetables have just sprouted, so we still have to buy them outside.
Continue north along the street on the west side of Shanglinfang, passing Chonglefang, and you will reach the North City of Nanyang Prefecture.
Nanshi and Beishi are the two major commercial markets in Nanyang Prefecture. All major transactions are conducted in these two markets.
There are also farmers along the streets who come into the city to sell vegetables, but their products are not as complete as those in the north and south cities.
Chen Mu walked leisurely along the way.
Although it is enjoyable to brush up on your proficiency, occasionally coming out to see the bustling crowds and see different scenery can also make people feel happy.
When you first enter Taipei City, the first thing you see is the Fanlou Building.
There is a Fanlou in each of the North and South cities, both of which are famous dens of brothel in Nanyang Prefecture. It is said that the bosses behind them are the five major families in Nanyang Prefecture.
Seven or eight five-story buildings, connected by corridors and sky bridges, cover a large area, are very lively and always attract attention.
On the Chunfeng Tower, one of the Fan Towers, there are beautiful young girls with red sleeves waving.
Chen Mu took a look and severely criticized them for their revealing outfits.
No need to worry about catching a cold!
Then he looked at it twice more and then reluctantly went to buy vegetables.
Passing by a teahouse called Xinyuan Tea House, Chen Mu was inspired and walked in.
He stayed at home all day and was isolated from the news. It was necessary to find a channel to collect information.
When he was in Qingshan County, he would go to Bafanglou regularly to drink tea. When he saw Xinyuan Tea House, Chen Mu had the same idea.
There’s no rush to buy groceries. Let’s go and hear what news is coming from Nanyang Prefecture first.
……
This teahouse is not small, with three floors, and is obviously not an ordinary small place.
As soon as he entered the teahouse, the bustling atmosphere made Chen Mu feel particularly cordial.
People were telling stories, drinking tea, and talking business. The familiar atmosphere of everyday life made Chen Mu feel relaxed.
