From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 12: Breathing
bedroom.

Jiang Chen took off all his clothes, revealing his still thin body.

After all, he had only been drinking the Qi and blood soup for more than ten days, and there was only a thin layer of muscle outline on his body, and the bones underneath were still clearly visible.

Jiang Chen picked up the green jade skin-forging liquid and smeared it on his body inch by inch.

According to the "Dan Yao Pian" records,
When practicing, it is best to apply this jade skin-forging liquid to every inch of skin on your body.

Only in this way can we achieve the best results and avoid obvious shortcomings and flaws in the future.

After a moment, Jiang Chen's entire body was covered with the green jade skin-forging liquid, and then he began to practice the "Blood Moving and Breathing Method".

The body's qi and blood are slowly mobilized and gathered towards the membrane.

A tingling, sour and itchy feeling spreads throughout the body, along with the cool feeling of the skin-strengthening liquid, which spreads along the surface of the skin.

It was as if the medicinal power of this skin-strengthening liquid was seeping into the deep of the skin bit by bit...

at the same time,

The experience value on the panel also began to jump quietly.

Two hours later.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a puff of white mist from his mouth.

He looked down at his body. The sticky jade-forging liquid on his body had now become dry and solidified into lumps on the surface of his body.

Jiang Chen opened the panel and took a look.

[Bronze Skin: Entry Level (70/1000)]

In two hours, the experience value of [Bronze Skin] increased from ten points to seventy points.

An average of thirty points per hour.

Compared with ten o'clock an hour ago, it has tripled.

The effect is really good...

Jiang Chen was somewhat satisfied. If he continued at this rate, he would be able to achieve bronze skin level in ten days or so.

But the problem is...

too expensive.

One tael of silver for ten days, plus I have to continue drinking qi and blood medicine to improve qi and blood.

The daily expenditure on medicinal materials is more than one hundred and thirty coins.

Adding the necessary meat supplements and some miscellaneous daily necessities, it would cost about one hundred and fifty coins a day.

If this continues, by the time I reach the bronze level, I will be bankrupt and won’t even be able to pay the rent for next month.

"Tsk..."

Jiang Chen scratched his hair, feeling a little headache.

"But, as I recall, police officers also have duties and revenue..."

The monthly salary of the Shun'anfang police was 500 wen, which was considered a very good salary in the entire outer city.

In addition, the patrol officers control the taxation of the entire street and also have some gray income.

Most of the policemen collected taxes from shops on the street.

Jiang Chen managed South Street, where there were no registered residents except beggars, so there was naturally no way to collect taxes. He only had the daily allowance as tax.

Kong Ye also explained that he could ignore other things, but the main job of the police officer was -

Taxes must be collected.

Since Jiang Chen has become an official, he has to follow the rules, otherwise he will only ruin this job he just got.

"Let's see what happens tomorrow..."

Jiang Chen washed up, wiped off the emerald green mud crust on his body, and lay back on the bed to sleep.

……

early morning.

Jiang Chen first reported for duty at the Shun'anfang government office, got the custom-made police uniform and put it on, then went to the South Street intersection with Lao Qian.

He announced to the beggars on South Street that he had become a police officer.

All the beggars on South Street looked confused. After all, they were all in the same industry, and many of them knew Jiang Chen and Lao Qian.

Seeing that the little beggar, who was as miserable as themselves, had suddenly transformed into an officer of Shun'anfang government office in charge of South Street, they were naturally incredulous.

But the tailor-made police uniform on Jiang Chen's body and the Dragon and Tiger Sect token engraved with the word "Jiang Chen" could definitely not be fake.

Moreover, Shunanfang Yamen was only a few miles away from Nanjie, so people would know the truth by asking, and no one would dare to seek death by impersonating such an identity.

Therefore, Jiang Chen, wearing this official uniform, naturally took over Gao Wei's position and began to collect daily wages.

"Old Qian, how much was your daily allowance before Gao Wei came?"

Lao Qian thought for a moment and said, "Originally it was two cents."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then we'll charge you two cents, and then you can recruit two or three trustworthy people to help collect the money, and each person will be charged five cents per day."

He is not a greedy guy like Gao Wei, and he was also an exploited beggar before, so he doesn't want to create the drama of "the dragon slayer becomes the evil dragon".

After listening to this, Lao Qian nodded and said, "Okay."

……

Before Gao Wei came, the daily allowance for South Street was two cents.

One of the coins was to be handed over to the Shun'anfang government office, and the other was kept by the officer himself.

Get things in order.

Jiang Chen roughly estimated that there were about seventy beggars coming in and out of the South Street entrance every day.

Then his daily revenue is seventy cents.

It is impossible for Jiang Chen to stay at the South Street intersection and spend a lot of time just to collect the fee.

Cultivation is the first priority.

Naturally, we can only leave this matter to Lao Qian.

But it is impossible to let Lao Qian work for you for free.

In addition, he would need to recruit two or three people to help Lao Qian run the place, which would cost him about twenty cents.

In other words, Jiang Chen can earn about fifty cents a day on South Street, which can be considered a considerable profit.

……

It’s been a busy day.

The sun sets.

Jiang Chen sat at the square table in the main hall, tapping his fingertips lightly on the tabletop, thinking about the "Green Jade Skin Tempering Liquid".

"It's still a bit of a stretch..."

At this time.

The courtyard gate suddenly opened and Lao Qian walked in carrying food.

"Jiang Chen, let's eat. Today we have lotus leaf chicken."

"Oh, so generous today?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Old Qian laughed and said, "It's okay. The wool comes from the sheep."

Jiang Chen: "..."

Jiang Chen uncovered the lotus leaf chicken and started eating it.

Lao Qian was eating when he suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, it seems that a demon appeared in Shun'anfang again today and killed people. A family of three died."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned: "Another death? Did any officers come over?"

Old Qian nodded: "We went, but it's useless. After all, the people are dead and we can't find the demon..."

Jiang Chen looked a little solemn and nodded silently.

Demons are terrifying. Even the weakest demon is not something that ordinary people who have not yet learned martial arts can deal with.

If you encounter a demon, the consequences are unpredictable.

After eating the lotus leaf chicken, Jiang Chen returned to his bedroom and continued to think about the "Green Jade Skin Tempering Liquid".

Yanyang City is really unsafe. The traces of demons are becoming more and more frequent. You never know when they will come to South Street.

Even if you have money, you need life to spend it.
It is worthwhile to exchange money for time and strength.

You must use "Jade Skin Tempering Liquid" to assist in your practice!

Throw money!

Jiang Chen made up his mind and stood up to practice [Stun].

[Sap: Level 115 (1000/)]

While practicing the breathing method, he naturally would not neglect the improvement of [Stun].

Only by moving forward together can we increase our strength.

……

One day later.

Jiang Chen officially began to spend money on his cultivation.

Apply "Qingyu Duanpi Liquid" externally every day, and use Lao Qian's Qi and Blood Decoction internally.

When the sun rises in the morning, practice the "Blood Moving and Breathing Method". When the sun sets in the afternoon, continue with the experience of "liver [stunning club].

Money is spent like water every day, but the effect is also very obvious. The experience of [Bronze Skin] and [Stun] is increasing rapidly.

Fourteen days later.

In the bedroom of the courtyard.

Jiang Chen sat in the room, preparing to take the first step into the bronze level.
