From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 102: Monster Stone

early morning.

Jiang Chen got up early in the morning and packed up the things in the entire inner courtyard with Chu Dong.

Then they found two carriages and loaded all the belongings in the inner courtyard onto them.

A dozen runners from the Shuiqingfang government office were helping Jiang Chen move things.

"grown ups."

Kong Ye looked at Jiang Chen in front of him with a complicated expression.

He had only been the chief constable of Shuiqingfang Yamen for a few months.

Before he could even sit down, he learned that Jiang Chen had become an inner disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect and was now going to settle in the inner city.

too fast……

Jiang Chen smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Keep working hard, and you'll be able to enter the inner gate sooner or later."

"……Yes."

……

Two carriages carrying Jiang Chen's belongings moved forward and arrived at the east side of Shun'anfang.

The door of Old Man Feng's nameless bookstore was open at this moment, and a box of books was placed beside the door.

Jiang Chen waved to Old Man Feng: "Master."

When Old Man Feng saw the carriage coming, he quickly carried a box of books onto the carriage.

The outer city is too unsafe right now, and Old Man Feng also learned that Xipingfang was massacred by demons.

At Feng Ruxin's strong request, they had to move to the Dragon and Tiger Faction's base in the inner city.

"Could this be one of the books I wrote?"

Jiang Chen remembered what Feng Ruxin had asked him last time, and his eyes twitched slightly.

"Oh, all your books have been burned long ago."

Old Man Feng also got on the carriage with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know why Ruxin suddenly got angry and burned all the books."

That's good.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank you, Senior Sister, for helping me destroy the body.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Old Man Feng, and asked, "By the way, Master, didn't you say last time that you had some secret teachings of the Dragon Elephant Sect to pass on to me?"

Old Man Feng waved his hand and said, "There is a secret teaching, but you can't learn it now."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned: "Why?"

Old Man Feng said, "If I could learn it, I would have taught you a long time ago. This secret can only be learned when you have entered the fifth stage of martial arts, the Zhuanzi."

After hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes twitched slightly.

It turns out that your previous communication with Elders Qian and Shi was just a trick...

Old Man Feng glanced at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? With your talent, won't you be able to enter the realm of the Foundry sooner or later?"

Jiang Chen was somewhat helpless: "It's not that I'm anxious. You also know what happened in Xipingfang yesterday. If you don't hurry up and improve your strength, who knows when you will run into a demon."

"The demon from Xipingfang..."

Old Man Feng chewed on these two words and suddenly asked,
"Do you know where demons come from?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Evil thoughts?"

There are some dark places between heaven and earth where evil spirits will be born. When these evil spirits are devoured by wild beasts, they will turn into monsters.

This was what he knew as soon as he entered the outer sect of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

"good."

Old Man Feng nodded and asked, "Then what do you think would happen if a person absorbed those evil thoughts?"

"This……"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

"You mean, humans can also turn into demons?" Old Man Feng nodded: "I have only heard of such cases."

"I suspect that the group of demons that sneaked into Xipingfang last night might be 'human demons'."

"But I'm just guessing."

"Once a person absorbs evil thoughts, their personality will change drastically and they will completely turn to the side of the demons. In addition, their bodies will also undergo severe deformations. It should not be difficult to recognize them."

……

This was the first time Jiang Chen knew about this situation.

Can humans turn into demons?
Old Man Feng glanced at him, thought for a moment and said, "In fact, if you can kill the four-patterned demon on the outer city wall next time, it will also be beneficial to your practice."

"What's the benefit?"

Old Man Feng explained: "Once a demon enters the Four-Line Realm, the lines on its head will gradually condense and turn into a special kind of stone. It contains powerful Qi and blood power. This thing is called the Demon Yuan Stone."

"As long as the spirit fluid is used to remove the demonic aura in the demon stone, after taking it, it can greatly enhance the power of qi and blood in a short period of time and assist the warrior in his practice."

"Or, this demon stone can be sold to the Meritorious Service Hall as a natural treasure."

There are two biggest limitations for a warrior's practice.

One is the difficulty of organ tempering.

For example, from skin, flesh, tendons to bones, the difficulty of tempering gradually increases.

And elixirs are a method to assist in stimulating a warrior's body organs.

The second is the restriction of qi and blood.

Warriors temper their bodies through the promotion of Qi and blood.

However, the improvement of a warrior's cultivation is mainly to strengthen his own body, and the improvement of Qi and blood is only incidental and grows slowly.

That is why the level of Qi and blood is the biggest obstacle that restricts a warrior’s practice!
However, in Yanyang City, there are very few elixirs that can improve qi and blood.

Jiang Chen had only taken one kind of "Qi and Blood Nourishing Pill", which he got from two Qi Refiners, and the effect was not very good.

If this "Demon Yuan Stone" can significantly increase Qi and blood in a short period of time.

Warriors at any level can use this demon stone to assist in their practice!
Old Man Feng continued, "If one coin of demon stone is sold on the market, it can be sold for five hundred taels of gold."

One qian of Yaoyuanshi is equivalent to one tenth of an ounce.

Such a small thing can be sold for five hundred taels of gold?!
Jiang Chen was a little surprised: "It seems that this demon stone is very valuable..."

"Yes."

Old Man Feng nodded and said, "In Jiulongzhou, high-level warriors don't need gold or silver. They usually use the demon stone as currency."

"If you can get this thing, even if you don't want to use it yourself, you can sell it to the Merit Hall. This is one of the few natural treasures purchased by the Merit Hall."

Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that going up to the outer city wall and killing demons is not entirely a bad thing.

After all, the Hall of Merit does not accept the flesh and blood of monsters, and he is not short of money now. If there is no extra benefit, it would be a huge loss to take the risk of hunting monsters!
No wonder, when I was stationed on the outer city wall before, I could see the inner disciples with iron bones and perfect skills going out of the city to hunt monsters.

It turned out that it was because of this "Demon Yuan Stone".

And this thing can actually be used as currency...

After climbing up the city wall, you might as well try to do something and see.

……

The carriage moved forward quickly and arrived at the Dragon and Tiger Sect’s base in the inner city.

Jiang Chen was arranged to live in a two-story courtyard in a large compound next to the base.

The surrounding areas are filled with courtyards where inner disciples live.

They are all strong warriors, so there is no need to worry too much about safety.

Old man Feng went to live in Yushan in the back.

He is the elder of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, so naturally he doesn't need to squeeze together with ordinary disciples.

Then the carriage stopped, and Jiang Chen and Chu Dong moved all their belongings into the new courtyard.

Jiang Chen also quietly sent several kinds of medicinal herbs that he had stolen from the medicinal fields in the outer city into the cellar of the courtyard.
