The area around the hole was scarlet, and the air nearby was slightly distorted by the high temperature.
Chen Mu bent down and looked. The nine holes were transparent from front to back, and had been completely pierced by the dagger in his sleeve.
Chen Mu looked at the gray wall in front of him.
Hidden Blade: 178/10000/Level ;
"I wonder if the current dagger can pierce the armor." Chen Mu looked at the ebony dagger with some eagerness.
The last time I met Zhuo Yinghai.
He risked his life to use the Qiankun strike, but he could only slightly weaken the opponent's courage.
Now that he has broken through to the third level, he has gained a secret skill called Piercing the Clouds.
It can make the tip of the sword vibrate at high frequency at the moment of sword drawing, thus bringing strong penetrating power.
In addition, the ebony sword was already hard and sharp, and Chen Mu's heart suddenly surged.
His left hand was quickly covered by the dark aura. He held the sword in his right hand, with the tip of the sword pointed at the palm of his left hand, and then... Chen Mu put away the sword in his sleeve.
"It hurts a lot... I'll try again with a Youpo master next time."
After staying at home for five or six days, my injuries have been completely healed.
The White Jade Toad's body-building technique, which he had invested a lot of energy in, had not yet broken through the fourth level.
The long-abandoned skill of Hidden Blade has reached the fourth level without any disturbance.
The muscles and tendons of the whole body underwent another qualitative change, with the same magnitude as the White Ape's Form Training Technique.
Although his physical fitness improved by less than 10%, his coordination improved a lot. His power became smoother. His dagger power increased by several times.
It also comes with a secret technique of piercing the clouds, which greatly increases the piercing power.
……
Putting away the dagger in his sleeve from the iron ingot, Chen Mu took out two Zuming talismans and placed them on the stone table.
"One cent... Two thousand eight hundred taels can make a hero fall."
Thinking about the ghost he encountered a few days ago, Chen Mu still feels scared.
That's just one. If you encounter a group of them...
"Two are not enough." Chen Mu's scalp tingled.
He missed Lin Que a little.
The gift of friendship from Master Lin of the Jinghong Gang made Chen Mu feel very carefree for a while.
You can rent any house, go to Chunfeng Building at any time, eat big chunks of meat, drink big bowls of milk, and have enough food.
A man cannot become rich without unexpected fortune. Chen Mu was eager to make a move: "Find another scapegoat?"
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "The idea of killing someone and touching the corpse naturally appeared in my mind."
"Birds of a feather flock together..." Chen Mu sighed.
"It's all because of this damned world! It almost shook my good character!"
Chen Mu quickly warned himself: "I have to be a good person and never take the initiative to cause trouble."
After giving himself a series of psychological hints, Chen Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
"How about... going to a casino or the black market to show off some of your wealth?"
After a long while, Chen Mu suppressed this tempting idea with his firm will.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind: "It seems that the Lin Hall Master did not only give a large sum of money."
“Dragon Transformation Pill…what’s the name of the other kind of pill?
"Liuweibao or Daliwan?"
"Forget it, it's not important."
"Well... let's call it Blue Pill."
……
evening.
Jie Jia looked at the porcelain bottle in front of him and asked, "What is this?"
"Blue pill." Chen Mu said calmly.
The knowledgeable Jie Jia opened the bottle and smelled it, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"It seems you are really short of money."
The ghost's blue pill is a replica of the Jinyang Pill. It is a drug that is in short supply in the Red Boat brothel.
Jiejia looked at Chen Mu in confusion: "Didn't you give me all the Jinyang Pills?"
"With your current skills, can you imitate it just by memory?"
Chen Mu's face twitched, and he said calmly: "Of course!".
Jie Jia looked at Chen Mu with a half-smile: "It turns out that it was copied a long time ago."
"Imitating this kind of medicine, do you think it is... to be prepared for any eventuality, or... to be prepared for any eventuality?" Jie Jia's face was full of meaning.
Chen Mu emphasized expressionlessly: "I want to make one point clear. I was thinking about it just to practice medicine making."
"Besides, why would I prepare this thing? It's totally useless!"
Jie Jia raised his lips and nodded seriously, "Yes, you just want to practice medicine."
Chen Mu: “…”
"Eat, eat!" Chen Mu quickly got up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
He specially stewed a pot of braised pork in a clay pot today.
Simmer over low heat for an entire afternoon until it turns glossy brown, with soft skin and flesh that breaks easily with a pinch of chopsticks.
After walking out of the kitchen, Chen Mu had regained his composure.
Ignoring the undisguised mockery in Jiejia's eyes
Just a little strange look.
Make money, not shabby.
……
After the meal, Chen Mu brought out sesame cakes and warm herbal tea.
Midway through April, the weather in Nanyang is gradually getting hot and humid. It is just the right time to drink heat-removing herbal tea.
Chen Mu held the wooden cup and drank a sip of the slightly bitter and sweet herbal tea. He asked calmly, "Zhao Dianhong must have come from a living person?"
Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu: "Living beings."
"Living people are fine, monsters are fine, and ordinary livestock are fine."
Monster? Chen Mu suppressed his curiosity and continued to inquire: "Why does the noble family insist on hiring people?"
"High efficiency." Jie Jia said calmly: "Ten thousand cows and one hundred people, how do you choose?"
Chen Mu's heart suddenly felt cold.
"Moreover, some magical instruments require human souls to be used for their rituals." Jie Jia added calmly.
Chen Mu was silent.
This world is strictly hierarchical, and the children of aristocratic families are high and mighty and have never cared about the lives and deaths of ordinary people.
Ordinary people are just their slaves and livestock. In the eyes of those people, one hundred people are certainly not as good as ten thousand cattle.
Thinking about the various elixirs such as the Dragon Transformation Pill and the Yellow Bud Pill that were currently circulating in the martial arts world, Chen Mu suddenly felt tense all over.
Regardless of whether they knew it or not, those people in the martial arts world who swallowed the elixir became hideous one by one.
As for the members of the noble family who are the source of the elixir, it is no exaggeration to say that they are monsters in human skin.
Only ordinary people have been passive victims.
"The sorrow of the weak..." Chen Mu sighed.
He couldn't help but think of the heavy fog in Qingshan County.
"I don't want to die without knowing why."
After seeing Jie Jia off, Chen Mu took out the Thousand Mountains Sutra and began to silently recite the Soul-Locking Curse.
Since it can be replaced by livestock, he has no reason to give up imitating the Dragon Transformation Pill.
The sudden attack of the ghost was like a dark cloud covering his heart, always making Chen Mu uneasy.
He urgently needed a large number of Zuming Fu.

Chapter 116 Undercurrent
April 641, Daliang year.
Late at night, Chongdefang in the south of the city.
Li Mansion, a large mansion covering an area of five acres.
Rockeries and water are scattered in the yard, and spacious houses with green bricks and tiles are in groups.
The guards were divided into groups of three, holding lanterns, and patrolling the huge mansion in an orderly manner.
In the hidden places at the base of the walls, black-haired guard dogs crouched, their eyes reflecting a faint red light under the moonlight.
At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly climbed over the wall and entered.
These people landed silently, as if they were already familiar with the patrol arrangements in the house.
As soon as he landed, darts flew everywhere, and the guard dog, who had just stood up, fell to the ground silently.
They then quietly lurked, and when the guards on patrol passed by, they suddenly attacked.
