Chapter 138 Harvest

Chapter 138 Harvest
"The inner building is not the real core of the library!"

After selecting the Nine-Turn Tidal Hammer and the Turtle and Crane Dual Swords basic diagram, Li Yuan turned around again and finally understood.

Although the inner building contains the introductory chapters of the five supreme secrets of the inner sect, it is only the introductory chapter. Fighting methods, killing moves, breathing methods, and qigong are not included here.

Not to mention the superior secret 'body diagram'.

"That's right. The secret teachings can't be placed in the inner building for everyone to learn. Well, we still have to wait for Old Han to come back."

After walking around for a few rounds, Li Yuan saved those two opportunities for later use.

He turned around and went down to the inner building and gave the secret map to the fat old man for registration.

He went to the outer building to borrow some other books. He would come to borrow a batch every few days.

He was not picky about martial arts, novels, unofficial history, and travelogues, and he was eager to make up for his own knowledge and experience.

If you can't travel thousands of miles, you naturally have to read thousands of books.

When Li Yuan came out with the secret book, all the disciples of Qiu family had dispersed, leaving only one to help him carry the book.

"The elder said that the branch of the Evil God Cult has been wiped out. Senior Brother Li can return to the Hammer Soldier Hall. However, for safety reasons, it is better not to leave the valley for the next few days."

The disciple moved the books for Li Yuan with a very respectful attitude.

"Ah."

Li Yuan nodded.

The elite disciples of the Qiu family had some complaints about him occupying the quota for true succession in the Lichen Hall, but most of the ordinary disciples did not feel much about it.

After all, they had no chance of becoming true disciples.

When I returned to the Hammer Soldier Hall, Ba Wanli had not returned yet, but Fang Baoluo had returned. He set up a rack in the bamboo forest and was grilling meat.

His cooking skills were very good, and the barbecue was sizzling with oil and the aroma was fragrant, but Li Yuan frowned as he approached: "Brother Fang, are you injured?"

"The Evil God Cult has quite a few tough guys. I wasn't paying attention for a moment and got slightly injured."

Fang Baoluo smiled, brushed it off lightly, and asked, "Elder Qiu didn't take the opportunity to embarrass you, did he?"

"It's not bad."

Li Yuan took the initiative, tore off a leg of lamb, sprinkled spices on it, took a bite, and immediately tasted the delicious flavor.

During the half month in Lichen Hall, he could feel the hostility of the Qiu family disciples, but he also had to sigh that Qiu Zhengxiong's rule was extremely strict.

From the time he arrived and left, except for the time when he was watching Qiu Changying practice archery and was shot by an arrow, no one really came to provoke him.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with his rich experience in coaxing old men.

"This is strange. Has Elder Qiu become more generous?"

Fang Baoluo cut off a small piece of meat with a knife, blew on it and ate it in small bites: "The remnants of the evil god cult may not be completely killed. During this period of time, you should not leave the valley."

Li Yuan nodded.

The business in the capital city was handled by Liu Zheng and Wang Peiyao, so he didn't need to care about it at all.

"To be honest, if Ding Zhi hadn't been killed, the Valley Master might not have been so ruthless as to eradicate the Evil God Cult and the hidden agents of those clans."

Fang Baoluo added some firewood, his face turned a little red, but still looked solemn:
"Although Ding Zhi is not a good person, he is the true disciple of the sect after all. To assassinate him is to completely break off relations...

I’m afraid those companies are really going to take action.”

"what?"

Li Yuan looked a little strange.

He dared to kill Ding Zhi partly because someone was hunting down disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley, and it was easy to shift the blame.

He did not expect the subsequent chain reaction.

"What is the true teaching? The face of the sect!
The last time a true disciple was killed was more than 50 years ago. The shock then was no less than this time. Do you think this is a small matter?"

Fang Baoluo shook his head, knowing the matter well:

"The true disciple who died fifty years ago still has some hatred with the master. At one point, some people suspected that it was the master who did it..."

"Does the dead man have a grudge against the master?"

Li Yuan chewed the mutton.

Judging from my own experience, I think it is very likely that Han Chuijun killed him...

"Master is a bit violent, but he still knows his limits. Generally speaking, he would not kill his disciples without permission."

If it's not ordinary, you'll kill him, right?
Li Yuan knew very well about Han Chuijun's deeds.

He felt that he might be somewhat similar to Lao Han. Both were afraid of trouble and were prepared for danger.

"Ding Zhi's death is not a bad thing for us."

Fang Baoluo lowered his voice and said, "Ever since the news of the Valley Master's internal organs being injured came out, his clan has been openly targeting us..."

"For the position of Valley Master?"

Li Yuan had some guesses.

Whether it was Shi Hong or Ding Zhi, their hostility towards him naturally could not have arisen out of thin air.

"Power moves people's hearts."

Fang Baoluo sighed.

The population of Zhelong Prefecture is over ten million. Not to mention the various industries in the city, the taxes intercepted every year alone are a huge fortune.

No one can remain unmoved.

Li Yuan understood very well.

If he became the valley master, not to mention the sixth-rank military talisman, it would be no problem to push it to a higher level, not to mention the wealth accumulated over a thousand years in the valley.

It makes me excited just thinking about it.

only……

"There are internal and external troubles."

Li Yuan shook his head in his heart.

The Divine Weapon Valley has been passed down for 1,400 years. Even though many strong men have emerged from it, it is still inevitably corrupt.

If it weren't for the threats from the Evil God Cult and the three major sects, he suspected that there would be chaos in the Divine Weapon Valley.

But after a little thought, he felt that the families in Qianjun Cave might not be that good, and that attacking externally might not be a way to divert conflicts within the sect.

"Come, eat meat."

Fang Baoluo obviously didn't know how far his junior brother was thinking, so he took a knife and cut a piece of meat for him.

Li Yuan reached out to take it and asked about Han Chuijun again.

"Master, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

Fang Baoluo was a little worried: "After hearing the news, the Valley Master and several elders split up and headed for Pinggou.

I’m worried that it will be too late…”

There are hundreds of sects of all sizes in the eight prefectures of Huizhou, but only four of them are in charge of one prefecture.

The master of Qianjun Cave is also a master who has been famous for many years.

Li Yuan had collected relevant intelligence, and when he saw Fang Baoluo frowning, his heart tightened:
"Is the Qianjun Cave Master very skilled in martial arts?"

He is now under the protection of Old Han. If anything happens to him, it will be a big trouble.

"His martial arts skills are very high, and his position is also very high. I heard that he has a deep connection with the 'Huailong Palace' in Hezhou City."

Fang Baoluo looked solemn:
"The reason why the Valley Master and his men left in a hurry was because they were afraid that the master would go berserk. If the Master of Qianjun Cave was killed, a war would break out immediately..."

"..."

So you are afraid that Qianjun Cave Master will be beaten to death?

Li Yuan was speechless for a while: "Brother Fang, you..."

"Don't underestimate the master. Although he is also a shapeshifter, the difference between shapeshifters is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Fang Baoluo put down the knife and wiped the grease off his hands: "Before the transformation, the difference in the quality of the bones is not too big.
But once the shape is changed, the gap is too big. "

Thinking back to the scene when Han Chuijun used all his strength, Fang Baoluo felt a chill in his heart.

Once upon a time, he also thought that his master was ranked last among the five elders of the inner sect, until he mastered the shapeshifting ability...

"Hyakugata?"

Li Yuan also found it difficult to imagine.

His understanding of shape-changing was limited to Ding Zhi, but Ding Zhi, who was killed by his sneak attack, was obviously no match for Han Chuijun.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Seeing Li Yuan frowning and remaining silent, Fang Baoluo comforted him again: "With the Valley Master coming forward, I think there won't be any problems."

"I hope so." Li Yuan nodded.

Li Yuan ate most of a roasted whole lamb to fill his stomach, and then simply dragged Fang Baoluo to his courtyard for another meal.

By the way, I also asked him about martial arts and the major and minor events that had happened in the past half month.

……

"call!"

After having a good meal and drinking, and seeing Fang Baoluo off, Li Yuan took a medicinal bath.

Although he had become strong inside, he did not stop nourishing his energy, and he certainly did not stop taking pills and medicines.

"The strength comes from the outside and spreads inward until it becomes a large network between the internal organs. This is considered as the internal strength being achieved."

Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, feeling the changes in his body during the medicinal bath.

The entry of internal strength is a real test of a warrior's control over the strength, because internal strengthening itself is a process of stimulating the internal organs to break the limits of the human body.

The benefits of his practicing multiple types of internal energy only became apparent at this time. The alternation and interweaving of different internal energies could shorten the time it took for his internal energy to develop.

wow~
Yu Xiang and the other person were still boiling water, pouring a bucket of hot water into the bathtub from time to time and draining the cold water.

After repeating this several times, Li Yuan digested all the medicinal effects and finally stood up.

"The firewood consumed in one medicinal bath is enough for my second brother to fight for three or four days before, but the effect is also very good."

After seeing Yu Xiang and the other person off, Li Yuan wiped his body and changed into clean clothes.

He was very willing to use medicine. Otherwise, even if he had good talent and physique, it would be impossible for him to become strong so quickly.

"Squeak!"

Li Yuan closed the door, and the little mouse scurried onto his shoulder, squeaking as if blaming him.

"This little thing."

Li Yuan smiled and reached out to take the little mouse that greeted him.

I found that its fur was becoming smoother and smoother, with a silky feel, moist and warm.

A pair of small green eyes rolled around, seeming to be more spiritual.

"I guess it can really become a spirit beast?"

Li Yuan thought that if the root bones could be changed, ordinary beasts could naturally be transformed into spiritual beasts:

"Come, take the pill."

During the half month in Lichen Hall, he had never opened the military space, let alone counted Ding Zhi's "gift".

Now, of course, is the time.

"squeak!"

The little mouse got angry and turned around and ran away without thinking, but was held down by Li Yuan, who looked at him eagerly.

"There are plenty of detoxification pills, what are you afraid of?"

Li Yuan took out bottles of pills. Ding Zhi was very wealthy and had more than twenty bottles of pills.

All of these pills are top quality. There are thirteen top-grade Yuan-replenishing Pills, eight Minor Soul-replenishing Pills, and six bottles of Blood-enhancing Pills.

This is more than ten thousand taels of silver.

"squeak?!"

The little mouse became more and more frightened and shook his head repeatedly, but he had no choice but to lower his head reluctantly.

"It's not good to have too much spirituality. It's almost like a spirit."

Li Yuan was amazed, let go of the resigned little mouse, took out a bone-strengthening pill, and scraped off a fingernail's worth of powder.

"Squeak..."

The little mouse lay on the table resigned to his fate, letting Li Yuan stuff the powder into his mouth.
Suddenly, it startled and jumped out.

"Still running?"

Li Yuan was about to reach out to grab it, but suddenly he was stunned.

In the corner, the little mouse was holding down a beetle the size of a thumb and spraying a mouthful of medicine powder onto the beetle's face.

"???"

This time, Li Yuan was shocked.

He had heard in his previous life that some animals could imitate human actions and behaviors, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Is this really a spirit?
"Squeak!"

The little mouse ran up to the table with the beetle in its mouth, pressing it with its short legs and chirping non-stop.

“…What a great guy.”

Li Yuan laughed in silence, then flicked the beetle into the corner.

What kind of good person would use insects to test drugs?

Many insects are poisonous in themselves, and those that are not poisonous have much less compatibility with humans, and are far less accurate than mice.

"Squeak~"

The little mouse was dejected and tried the medicine reluctantly.

"It's okay, there are plenty of detoxification pills."

Li Yuan said a word of comfort and tried the more than 20 bottles of pills he got from Ding Zhi one by one.

The pills Ding Zhi bought were all top-grade and not poisoned, so he finished testing them soon.

Leaving behind the little mouse that was so excited that its fur turned red, Li Yuan put away all the pills.

He closed his eyes slightly and began to count Ding Zhi's gifts.

hum!
On the gray stone platform, in the large incense burner, was a red dragon fish that had just died. It was very fresh and weighed more than sixty kilograms.

"The book says that this red dragon fish has the effect of changing one's bones because it contains the blood of a dragon. Is this true?"

In the past few months, Li Yuan read a lot of books and gained a deeper understanding of spiritual beasts.

Although he didn't quite believe in the saying "like cures like", it was obvious that others believed it very much.

Like Qiu Changying, she practiced the art of lifting and controlling spiritual deer and drank deer blood and ate deer meat all year round.

Ba Wanli even ate bear paws, bear meat, tiger bones and tiger penis as his meals.

There are countless examples of this kind in the inner and outer gates of the Divine Weapon Valley and in the city.

Even when he was in Gaoliu County, he had heard of similar things, such as Qin Xiong had eaten monkeys in the past.

"The saying of like cures like also existed in my past life, for example, that damned heather..."

Li Yuan murmured in his heart, maybe the spirit beast is different?
He was somewhat looking forward to it. A dragon often has multiple shapes, and one shape can be compared to six shapes. If it really succeeds, it will save a lot of effort.

"Eat it when you have time. Well, throw the fish bones to the little mouse."

Li Yuan continued to count his family assets.

It was said that Ding Zhen had quite a lot of wealth, with more than 30 silver notes, all in denominations of 100 taels, and 13 gold notes, one of which was in denominations of 1,000 taels.

If you put together the scattered gold and silver, there would be more than one hundred taels.

In addition, there was a large pile of pearl, agate, necklaces and jewelry, which cost at least a thousand taels of silver.

"Almost thirty thousand taels of silver!"

Even though he had taken a quick look at it before, Li Yuan was still a little shocked.

Ding Zhi alone is richer than more than a dozen forces in and outside Gaoliu County combined, and this is in cash.

If we include mines, fields, house deeds, land deeds, etc.

“So rich!”

Now we have almost half of the materials required to advance to the sixth level of the Weapon Control Talisman!
Even Master Li Dao was shocked to have received such a huge windfall in one go. It would take someone like Cao Yan decades to save up this amount of money!
"This isn't even considered a pill!"

Li Yuan was a little shocked.

Compared with the true disciples who have the support of big families, he is like a pauper, not to mention Miss Fang.

Ding Zhi is a wealthy man among the true disciples, while Ms. Fang is a poor man among the inner disciples.

"The world is different."

Li Yuan sighed and continued counting.

Apart from the house deeds and land deeds which he had no use for, the most valuable thing on Ding Zhi was naturally the top-grade sword.

"Fifth-level long sword."
