Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 175 0174: Second Harvest

The backyard of the county government office.

Cheng Zongyang and Li Lu chatted alone again.

But before Cheng Zongyang could speak, Li Lu said seriously:
"I'll talk about the things I brought back later. I went to Qianye County City this time."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang's face paused and he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Since seeing Li Lu come back, I haven't seen him smile many times. This is completely different from before.

Li Lu shook his head slightly and sighed, "Many people died and were injured on the way. If it weren't for the knife you lent me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back. When I came back, Qianye County City was almost taken over by the Thirteen Royal Clans. I'm afraid it's almost the same here."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang was silent for a while, then took out a note and handed it to the other party.

Li Lu took it with some doubt, but after reading the contents, he asked solemnly: "From the front line?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly. "This was sent back by the people I sent three days ago. Daliang has deployed troops on the border, and so have the Thirteen Royal Clans. In addition, foreign forces have taken over the towns, counties, and prefectures in various places. This means that Daliang has abandoned the four prefectures! This is certain."

Li Lu thought for a moment and said, "I got some information from a foreigner this time. I'm worried that the family that takes over the county will be too powerful and will have a big impact on our plan. This is what I was worried about all the way back."

Cheng Zongyang could understand Li Lu's concerns. If the force was too strong, it would be difficult for them to protect the resources they had accumulated through hard work.

These are the foundation for them to seize the opportunity of reshuffle and gain a foothold in the county.

But Li Lu changed the subject and asked, "How are those people?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Ask your nephew. He is in charge of everything. I am only responsible for delivering the powder to him."

When Li Lu heard this, he understood what Cheng Zongyang meant and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Cheng, that's not necessary. You helped me get here, so why should we be so shy? To be honest, if you really need me, I am not only your subordinate, but you can also use me at any time. Without hesitation."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Brother, you think too much. You should know that the Cheng family is behind me. We have a good relationship, but there are some things that we have to avoid. In the future, you will gain a foothold in the county, and so will the Cheng family. By then, we will complement each other, and by helping each other, we can gain a foothold in the hands of foreign races. Therefore, when I help you, I am also helping my Cheng family."

Li Lu poured Cheng Zongyang a glass of wine and said, "Brother, I will remember your kindness. Cheers."

Cheng Zongyang also raised his glass.

Afterwards, Cheng Zongyang also talked about the situation of the county town, farmland, and new village.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

After the two of them talked about some things, Li Lu finally took out a list and placed it in front of Cheng Zongyang. He smiled and said:
"Here, this is what we got from this trip. Take a look."

Cheng Zongyang took the list and started looking through it.

Li Lu also said at the right time: "The food is basically exchanged in some towns and counties for the medicinal materials needed for Neibu Pills. Only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

Brother, I think we should exchange food for medicinal herbs, and then make all the herbs into internal tonic pills. In the future, in addition to supplying our people, we can also sell them. One pill can save us from having to eat for two or three days, which is much more cost-effective than eating."

"I have also collected a lot of books and silver this time. Apart from the thirty thousand taels of silver I will return to your master, you can decide how to deal with the rest."

Cheng Zongyang listened and watched.

There really wasn't much food on the list, only about 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms. This was excluding the consumption of the people on the road, and the rest was basically exchanged with the local people for medicinal materials.

Li Lu's approach is indeed good, and medicinal materials can indeed maximize profits.

As for the classics, they are all some skills and special books.

But the amount of silver made Cheng Zongyang a little shocked.

More than 70,000 taels.

"Brother, have you found the bank's underground money storage room?"

Li Lu said with regret: "No, these were found from family mansions in three towns. They were all exterminated. If it weren't for the intact county town, I wouldn't dare to go in casually. I'm afraid they would have looted more."

Along the way, he targeted almost all towns and a dilapidated county town.

The grain was accidentally found in the basement of a family in the county town, with more than 20,000 kilograms. Unfortunately, the whole family was exterminated, and no one found the grain, thus making it cheaper for me.

"Brother, if we form a team of warriors to search the mansions of the exterminated clans in some counties, we will definitely gain a lot!"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Sometimes, when you have too many resources, you have to be able to protect them. In ten days or half a month, the warrior team should have fifty warriors of the first rank.

You can decide on the distribution at that time. By the way, you have to teach martial arts yourself. If you have the skills but no fighting method, you are just a reckless man with empty strength. "

Li Lu seemed very happy.

Fifty more entry-level warriors mean that his gang will become even more powerful. Even if outsiders come in in the future, they cannot underestimate him!

But at this time, Cheng Zongyang asked: "What do you think of these money and books?"

Hearing this, Li Lu suppressed his excitement and said, "Let's exchange the classics for the Body Tempering Powder. As for the silver, after deducting the thirty thousand taels of silver for the expenses, should we continue to make the medicinal powder, or what? Do you have any suggestions?"

Cheng Zongyang closed the list and began to think.

Although many martial arts techniques may not be useful to the family, they are still good for enriching the family's martial arts foundation.

There are also many prescriptions, pharmacopoeias, spiritual practice experiences, etc. They are all good things.

As for silver, Li Lu brought back a lot of medicinal materials this time, which could not only make more internal tonic pills, but also a lot of body-building medicinal bath powder. The remaining 40,000 taels could be used as expenses.

Finally, he said:
"Well, my idea is still to use the body-building medicinal bath powder and the body-tempering powder. It's similar to before. Even if you can't use them, you can still use them to reward your subordinates. I'll write a letter to Master and ask him to get you a bottle of Qi Yuan Dan. There are five pills in a bottle, and each pill is worth a thousand taels."

"Qi Yuan Dan?" Li Lu was puzzled.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "This is a pill suitable for the cultivation of middle-level third-grade warriors. It can strengthen the blood and replenish the vitality. For lower-level third-grade warriors, it is a great tonic. If you cultivate to the peak of the eighth grade, taking this bottle of Qi Yuan Dan, it should not be a problem to enter the seventh grade."

Although he exaggerated the efficacy and price of the medicine a bit...but the final right of interpretation is in his hands, who knows?
As expected, Li Lu heard this and asked excitedly, "Really?"

For him, as long as his cultivation can be improved, external things are not important.

Cheng Zongyang gave him a reassurance and said, "That's how I made the breakthrough."

"Good!" Li Lu was overjoyed. Cheng Zongyang's cultivation was obvious, so he believed it!
"Then I'll exchange it for thirty portions of Body Tempering Powder, to make all the body forging powders, and a bottle of Qi Yuan Dan. Oh, and ask them to send some white medicine over. Didn't you say that white medicine is good? Although the price is a bit higher, this money can buy a lot."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Li Lu was very happy.

He didn't know the price of these cultivation resources.

But he knew clearly that in these troubled times, even if he had money, he might not be able to buy the medicinal resources that could quickly promote spiritual practice, improve his quality, and heal injuries!

If he uses the foreign objects he has collected to exchange for the enhancement of his own cultivation, and in exchange for the loyalty and cultivation improvement of many of his subordinates, that would be a big profit!
After confirming it, Cheng Zongyang didn't stay long.

Li Lu had the supplies delivered to the warehouse, where Cheng Zongyang would process them, and the silver, money and books would be delivered to Cheng Zongyang's residence.

Cheng Zongyang just gave instructions to the doctor from last time and continued to process the medicinal materials in the same way as before.

The amount of medicinal materials this time is several times more than last time, but there are only a dozen experienced doctors, so they can only carry out the work one by one. At the same time, the space has been expanded by two or three places to avoid being crowded together and making work inconvenient.

After arranging these things, Cheng Zongyang handed over the affairs of the county to Li Lu.

The next day, Cheng Zongyang left the county alone, pulling two horse-drawn carts and carrying boxes filled with various books and silver.

Most of these boxes are empty, just for show.

When they arrived at an uninhabited place, Cheng Zongyang put all his things into the wilderness world and entered the wilderness world.

This time he obtained 70,000 taels of silver, and he planned to keep 10,000 taels as a backup. The remaining 60,000 taels were used to expand the territory of 60 kilometers.

At this point, the range of their activities expanded to seventy kilometers.

Now, with a shortage of manpower, if the map could display names, he could still find some places. But without names, no matter how big the place is, it is useless.

Ma Yue has not returned since he left, so it should not be that fast to meet the demand for sixty soul crystals.

As for the newly acquired soul crystals, he placed them in the mass grave, the hill of requiem, and the prison. No matter when he collected them, he would just put them there.

Cheng Zongyang put the boxes containing the classics aside, preparing to let Zhang Jinquan pick out some useful prescriptions, pharmacopoeias, etc.

After leaving the cabin and going outside, you will see a flat area on the right with a pile of red ore.

Two people were responsible for bringing back these ores, while the mole was responsible for digging holes and digging out these ores.

Cheng Zongyang has identified these minerals and found that they are just an ordinary mineral called red cloud ore, a non-metallic mineral similar to cinnabar.

Knowing the unscrupulous behavior of the platform, he raised the consignment price by 10 points compared to the price given in the previous task, selling it at 30 points per 100 kilograms.

The main reason is that this price is the easiest to sell, and it cannot be sold at a price higher than this. This has been tried, which shows that this ore is not valuable.

But because of this, Hongyun Mine becomes the source of future points.

The reserves of the Red Cloud Mine over there are quite a lot, and the mole beasts are still digging. But the excavation and return have only started in the past few days.

"Sir, the Hongyun Mine should have more than 5,000 kilograms at present. Relying on two people, the speed is really slow." Luo Dingran came to Cheng Zongyang's side.

Cheng Zongyang thought about the ore in his hand, looked in the direction of the ore, and asked: "Can we use animals to pull it back? Luo Zheng has some livestock and four horses, so we should be able to cooperate. Didn't we get two wild horned bulls some time ago? We can try it."

Luo Dingran said, "It's only a temporary solution, but it's the only way. I plan to accumulate more of these red cloud ores before selling them. Now Zhang Jinquan has made a medicine called Red Blood Pills by using the Red Blood Mushroom and the formula of the Internal Pills. It can strengthen the Qi and blood while also replenishing the body's consumption."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up: "He really figured it out? Tell me about the specific results."

As he spoke, Cheng Zongyang walked towards Zhang Jinquan's house.

Luo Dingran smiled and said, "I'll ask him to tell you in more detail later. Let me tell you about the sales of the Red Blood Pills. The day before yesterday, my subordinates put a bottle on the shelf. There were five pills in a bottle, and the price was 700 points. It was sold out in less than three minutes."

"A bargain?" This was Cheng Zongyang's first thought.

Luo Dingran smiled and said, "I think so too. In addition, I think this Red Blood Pill may have other functions, otherwise the previous Qi Yuan Pill would not be unsellable even if the price was reduced many times. So I mentioned it to Zhang Jinquan."

Cheng Zongyang nodded in agreement: "You are right, does Zhang Jinquan have any comment?"

"I don't know yet."

Soon, the two arrived at Zhang Jinquan's courtyard.

"Greetings, sir." When Zhang Jinquan saw Cheng Zongyang, he couldn't help but stand up and bow.

Cheng Zongyang waved his hand and noticed something on the table beside him. It was a bamboo dustpan with many soybean-sized balls on it.

"What medicine are you making?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Zhang Jinquan turned his head and glanced at the pills on the table beside him, and said with a smile, "Red Blood Pills. Manager Luo asked me to do more research, so I made some more."

Without waiting for Cheng Zongyang to ask, he continued, "Sir, according to what Manager Luo said, I tried it with animals. After all, we don't have ordinary people here, and the soul slaves' bodies are not ordinary people, so we can't do the experiment. Therefore, we can only choose animals.

There are quite a few results, some good and some bad. But overall, I have figured out some situations.”

"Tell me about it." Cheng Zongyang suggested.

Zhang Jinquan bowed and said, "This Red Blood Pill uses the original formula of the Internal Nourishing Pill, not the Five Grains Internal Nourishing Pill. I dried and ground the cultivated Red Blood Mushroom into powder, and tried to add it to the Internal Nourishing Pill formula. After many attempts, I finally made the Red Blood Pill. However, this Red Blood Pill only slightly increases Qi and blood, and the overall effect is not obvious.

Later, I added some red jade ganoderma to achieve such a significant effect of enhancing qi and blood, and it also has a good effect of replenishing physical energy. Sir, we maintain high-intensity training for three hours, and one red blood pill can quickly replenish it. "

Hearing this function, Cheng Zongyang was quite happy: "In this way, it is equivalent to having some functions of a small bench."

Zhang Jinquan nodded: "But this is not the reason why the Red Blood Pill can be sold. Instead, it has a special effect on animals."

"What?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Luo Dingran also looked at him curiously.

This is what he cares about. It doesn’t matter to him what the drug’s effect is. He just needs to make sure that the pill can earn points, and earn more points!
Points are related to the development of the territory, so naturally you have to earn more.

This is his mission!
