Chapter 164 Fishing and Blackmail
"Bait? How can I help?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled and thought of Liang A Shui's fishing bait. Could it be that the old man had also discovered it?

But when he saw that he was smiling without saying a word and staring at him, he realized that this old man wanted to use him as bait!
"I……"

Li Yuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words turned around and changed:
"It's not impossible..."

"Oh?"

Jing Shuhu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had found a lot of excuses along the way, such as 'all masters have to go through hardships and setbacks, and jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished'.

But now it seems that it is no longer useful?
"You have to pay more!"

Li Yuan was quite smart. Since Jing Shuhu had found his way to the bamboo forest, he must have discussed it with Lei Jingchuan long ago.

It’s probably difficult to refuse, so you might as well take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.

"Cough cough~"

Jing Shuhu almost choked on his saliva and glared at him unhappily, but did not refuse:

"what would you like?"

"God... ahem, inner armor, heavy armor, bows and arrows, well, at least they have to be top-grade famous weapons."

Li Yuan the lion opened his mouth wide.

"Fuck off!"

Jing Shuhu was almost so angry that he laughed, but after thinking about it, he still agreed: "Just one, no more!"

Really?
Seeing him being so straightforward, Li Yuan actually started to murmur in his heart: "No, you should first tell me what kind of fish you are going to catch!"

"A secret agent sent a letter saying that someone from Sanyuanwu had sneaked into Zhelongfu City, and it was suspected that an elder or a true disciple was leading the team."

Jing Shuhu did not hide it: "Before the Sanyuanwu army arrives, we must get rid of this group of people!"

After a slight pause, he added, "Perhaps, there are still remnants of the Evil God Cult and Qianjun Cave."

"what?"

Li Yuan was a little stunned and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure I can attract so many people?"

"You underestimate yourself too much."

Jing Shuhu took another sip of wine and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Dragon-shaped bones, weapon-casting genius, Han Chuijun's disciple, with all these titles added up, which spy wouldn't want to kill you?"

"This……"

Li Yuan thought of the rising bounty on the stone tablet at the Zhaixing Tower stronghold, and he couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

He seldom went down the mountain, and he really had no idea how famous he was outside.

But listening to this, it seems quite big?

Jing Shuhu put away the wine gourd and said:

"I can give you a top-grade inner armor for self-defense. If you wear the one you fought with before, even a master of Tongmai will not be able to kill you in one blow."

Before he came, he had prepared the inner armor.

"This……"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Disciple thinks one piece of inner armor is enough. How about changing to a bow?"

Qiu Changying's soul-chasing arrow left a deep impression on him, and he collected a lot of bows and arrows during these days.

However, most of the Qiu family disciples in Lichen Hall followed Qiu Zhengxiong to Dechang Prefecture, so he only got two swords in total, which were not enough to join forces.

"You have a big appetite for a top-grade famous longbow."

Jing Shuhu frowned. Even for him, every time he took a weapon from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he would have to make up for it with another one.

A top-grade bow is not easy to make, and it can take several years...

"Well, how about a sword?"

Jing Shuhu still felt a little pain, but seeing Li Yuan lowering his head to eat the lamb leg again, he could only agree reluctantly:
"I can give it to you, but you have to make two or three top-grade famous instruments for me later. Well, you don't have to provide the materials!"

"This……"

Li Yuan frowned and put forward a condition: "Then, you have to give me two taels of fine gold..."

"You still want the adamantium?"

Jing Shuhu's face darkened: "Wait until you have perfected the art of forging weapons. It's pure gold, do you think this thing is easy to make?"

"Well, one or two?"

Li Yuan took a step back.

Pure gold is a rare material that can be used to forge magical weapons. It takes at least three thousand taels of gold to refine less than one tael of it. Not only is it precious, but the extraction process is also very tedious and troublesome.

He inquired many times and found out that all the fine gold in the Weapon Casting Valley was in the hands of Jing Shuhu.

"One or two, well, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Jing Shuhu thought for a moment and said, "If this trip goes well, I can give you one or two taels of silver when I come back, but you have to buy it..."

"it is good!"

Li Yuan jumped up and reached out with his greasy hands:

"make a deal!"

"roll!"

Jing Shuhu waved his sleeves and dismissed the mercenary boy, his eyes full of disdain:
"Get ready. Go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. I will follow you in the dark..."

……

……

【Hundred Years Bull Bow (Level 5)】

[The life span of an ox is twenty years, and the life span of a spirit ox is two hundred years... The master craftsman took the tendons of a hundred-year-old spirit ox, soaked them in a secret medicinal soup for ten years, and mixed them with various kinds of gold and iron, and the spirit was born...]

[Control conditions: great strength, ox shape, and mastery of any arrow technique]

[Control effect: Level 5 (light yellow): Archery talent, Spirit Bull tendon

Level 4 (Blue): Eyes as sharp as a torch, Shooting stones and drinking feathers]

What a nice bow!
On the black-sailed boat, Li Yuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze. The bow was very good and the old man was very cunning.

Jing Shuhu came to the door early in the morning with a bow, but he carried it on his back. If he couldn't catch any fish, he would have no chance of using the bow.

He is really cunning and sly.

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion has a lot of good things. They can take out top-grade famous weapons, top-grade famous weapons, and divine weapons. Are there any?"

Li Yuan muttered to himself that he had never entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion, nor the secret building.

"Why did Brother Li suddenly want to go down the mountain?"

The person rowing the boat was Liang Ashui. After he was far away from the river bank, he spoke: "Is it not appropriate to go down the mountain at this time?"

During this time of getting along, buying fish and becoming "fishing buddies", the awkwardness between the two of them no longer existed.

"Before the beginning of spring, all the business in the city must be counted. We have to go down the mountain to do that."

Li Yuan prepared an excuse.

"It's just some business, you..."

Liang A Shui shook his head, and when he saw the two boats following behind him, he suddenly realized what was going on.

He was putting himself in his shoes, forgetting that the true teachings had a "guardian" when they traveled...

"The Sanyuanwu army is coming, and the city is heavily guarded, so there won't be any danger."

Li Yuan changed the subject and asked about the red dragon fish.

“It’s not easy to fish.”

Liang Ashui couldn't help but sigh: "I have never seen such a difficult fish to catch in my life. It should be easier to catch when the weather gets warmer, right?"

In half a year, Liang A Shui became famous in the inner island. Although he caught few red dragon fish, he caught more than 25 other kinds of spiritual fish.

This does not include what he eats himself.

"Brother Liang, remember to keep it for me if you catch it."

"That's natural."

Liang Ashui nodded.

Some time ago, he was almost tricked by some old inner sect disciples, and after that, the first person Youyu considered was Li Yuan.

After the two men exchanged a few words, Li Yuan had already reached the other side, with Yu Jin and the other four following him from a distance.

After gazing at it from afar, Liang A Shui turned the boat back with a sad heart. The treatment of the true disciples was really beyond his imagination.

He had inquired and found out that the old soldiers kept in the valley were at least shape-changing warriors!
“Fishing is also a technical job!”

After getting on the carriage, Li Yuan began to grumble in his heart that the timing was not right.

When the Sanyuanwu army was approaching and the city was under martial law, the sudden appearance of a true genius like him who usually stayed at home would make anyone suspicious.

"They hid very well, and even the Supervisory Hall couldn't find them. But as long as we can meet them face to face, everything will be fine." Li Yuan was naturally confident that he would take on this job.

The fifth-level weapon control talisman can sense the light of weapons within twenty meters. Although the city is large, as long as he has patience, he can find them out even if they hide underground.

After all, Sanyuanwu's knife and sickle techniques are very special.

"But before that, I can take a good look around."

Lying sideways in the carriage, Li Yuan took out a book and slowly flipped through it, already having an idea in his mind.

He didn't go down the mountain before, firstly because he was obsessed with practicing martial arts and forging iron, and secondly because he was really afraid of being assassinated.

But now, with the close protection of a master who has achieved great success in Tongmai, what is there for him to fear?
He had to visit all the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple and the Remaining God Temple!

……

More than a hundred feet behind Li Yuan's carriage, Jing Shuhu followed leisurely. His steps were brisk, up and down, and he caught up with the carriage.

Several disciples from the Supervisory Hall had a hard time, as they had to follow quickly and report intelligence at the same time.

"According to the information sent by the secret agents, the people who are lurking here this time should be the elder Xiao Zongyuan of Sanyuanwu and his disciple Ba Yunhe..."

"A few months ago, before the Valley Master took action, Qianjun Cave's 'Guan Tianhao' had disappeared. It is suspected that he also came to Zhelong Mansion, but I don't know if he is in the city."

"The remnants of the Evil God Cult should have been eliminated, but since Su Wanxiong is not dead, he may sneak back..."

"Young Valley Master has passed through Yunjing County and should be able to return to Zhelong in half a month at most."

……

Several disciples from the Supervisory Hall reported various intelligence in a deep voice.

Not only the Zhelong Mansion, the information about the current situation of several major sects is also very detailed.

Jing Shuhu suddenly asked:
"What about Han Chuijun?"

"what?"

The disciples were slightly startled, but the leading disciple answered respectfully with admiration:

"It is said that Elder Han is not in Dechang Prefecture, but led the two true disciples of the Hammer Weapon Hall to Geyun Prefecture to contain Liexue Mountain..."

"This old guy."

Jing Shuhu paused, then quickened his pace, leaving behind only a cold snort.

"Do you think you can wear the Scarlet Flame Spiritual Dragon Armor whenever you want? Aren't you afraid of dying in Geyun Mansion? Humph, it would be better if you die."

Several disciples from the Supervisory Hall looked at each other and quickly followed.

……

……

Huhu~
Thousands of miles away, at the foot of Geyun Mountain, the Pingjiang Grand Canal flows majestically eastward through the wind and snow.

Two small boats sailed downstream.

Ba Wanli squatted on a small boat, waving his hands as big as a palm fan to splash the water to speed up the boat.

However, even so, they could not catch up with the black-sailed boats in front.

"Eighty thousand miles!"

Suddenly, Han Chuijun, who was sitting cross-legged on the black-sailed boat, spoke. His voice was not loud, and even the wind and snow could not blow it away.

"The disciple is here!"

Ba Wanli stood up suddenly and the boat was almost pushed under the water by him.

"Go back to the sect!"

Han Chuijun glanced at him and said, "Your body is too conspicuous. It will be too easy for people to find you if I bring you with me."

"Can anyone recognize me here?"

Ba Wanli glared, he had disguised himself very well.

"..."

Fang Baoluo almost laughed out loud.

"Your junior brother is alone in the mountain, and I am a little worried."

Han Chuijun held a letter in his hand, his eyes subtle: "After returning, keep an eye on Shi Hong."

"what?"

Ba Wanli was stunned: "Does Shi Hong dare to attack Junior Brother?"

"It didn't happen before, but it may happen in the future."

Han Chuijun's eyes flickered.

Judging from his own experience, he felt that Shi Hong would not only attack Li Yuan, but might even target the Hammer Soldier Hall.

If he wasn't thousands of miles away and had important matters to attend to, he would have killed the kid immediately to prevent future trouble.

"what?"

Fang Baoluo was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at the letter: "Master, this letter?"

"The letter is very good, and your junior brother is also very good."

Han Chuijun threw the letter to him: "He is a master craftsman, I underestimated him..."

Those who practice hammering may not necessarily be able to forge weapons. The latter is much more troublesome than the former. He also studied the art of forging weapons in the past, but he was no match for Jing Shuhu, so he had no choice but to give up.

"The talent of a master craftsman?!"

Fang Baoluo was shocked, and Ba Wanli on the boat behind him also widened his eyes: "What master craftsman? Junior brother?!"

The weight of the word "master craftsman" is as heavy as a mountain for the disciples of Divine Weapon Valley.

"If Junior Brother has the talent of a master craftsman, then Shi Hong shouldn't have attacked Junior Brother, right?"

Fang Baoluo was shocked and stuttered when speaking: "He, he is the young, young valley master..."

"How did I teach you?"

Han Chuijun glanced at him coldly, and Fang Baoluo immediately lowered his head: "If you encounter a situation, eliminate the worst possibility first! But, but..."

"Remember what I said. At any time and in any situation, you must strike first! Don't wait to be killed before you think about fighting back!"

Han Chuijun glanced at Ba Wanli who nodded repeatedly:
"After we go back, we will go to the Weapon Casting Valley to find Jing Shuhu first. He knows what to do!"

“Slow, slow…”

Fang Baoluo was terrified: "Master, Master, you don't want to kill Shi Hong, do you? Valley Master..."

"Just a precaution."

Han Chuijun stuffed the letter into his sleeve and said calmly, "Even if I kill him, what can I do? At most, I can compensate him with a young valley master who has better talent and understanding!"

"This……"

"it is good!"

Fang Baoluo felt a little numb. Ba Wanli was already cheering loudly, not paying any attention to the former's wild glances.

"I think this matter needs to be considered carefully. Shi Hong cannot be so unwise. I..."

After glaring at Ba Wanli fiercely, Fang Baoluo felt extremely tired. He always felt that he was out of place among his master and senior brothers.

Even if you have the potential to be a master craftsman, what good is it? You are not a master craftsman yet!
Can this shake Shi Hong's position as the young valley master?
He had heard that Shi Hong had already inherited the Five Colors and Five Weapons Spiritual Qi, which made him almost certain to be the next Valley Master.

"You still don't understand the importance of a master craftsman. Even if you only have the possibility of becoming a master craftsman..."

Han Chuijun slowly stood up and looked at the huge ships that appeared one after another downstream, and said calmly:
"Aren't you asking me why we dared to destroy Qianjun Cave, and why I dared to stop Liexue Mountain alone?"

"I will tell you now!"

"Um?!"

Fang Baoluo's heart was shocked, but he saw his master take a step forward and land on the surging river.

Then, a real flame burst out from his body? !
"this?!"

Not only Fang Baoluo, but also Ba Wanli, who was holding a heavy hammer and looking as if facing a formidable enemy, could not help but look over with horror in his eyes.

"One thousand four hundred years ago, when our ancestor was traveling around the world, he passed by the Divine Weapon Mountain and saw a red flame rising to the sky from under the cold pond..."

"A dragon fish rose into the sky in the night. It was a hundred feet long and resembled a dragon. Its roar shook the sky, and flames surged all over its body..."

Click!

As Han Chuijun spoke, Fang Baoluo and the other man heard the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

But he saw that on his master's open arms, under the light of the fire, there were palm-sized scales emerging!
The scales were like dragon scales, growing out of his body at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering his entire body!
call!
The faint flame suddenly grew brighter, as if there was really a flame burning from his body.

"Master, kill this fish king, draw its blood for medicine, cut its flesh for elixir, take its tendons for a bow, and transform its inner elixir into a pearl..."

Han Chuijun shook his neck, enduring the pain of the flames burning his body. Horns and whiskers seemed to grow on his head, like a dragon's head:

"Peel off its skin and make armor. It is the one I am wearing, the Scarlet Flame Dragon Armor!"
