Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 120 Methods to Improve Mental Strength
"Xiao Cheng, you want to trade with me, a way to enter the black market?"

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, "I wonder what price you, Brother Shi, would like to offer?"

After hearing this, Shi Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I can tell you how to enter the black market for free, but there is one requirement."

Jiang Cheng was not surprised by this.

The two parties have just completed the remaining transaction, and the other party has received 19,000 yuan. In the short term, there is no need to worry about being short of money.

It is reasonable to propose another condition for exchange.

"What are your requests? Tell us, Brother Shi."

"This request is that if we encounter difficulties one day, Xiaocheng, you can help us again."

Shi Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Cheng, you know what the slums are like. This time, with your help, my wife, children and I got through the hard times. But if the Iron Fist Gang is driven away in a few years, and another gang comes and collects more money than the Iron Fist Gang, I hope you can lend a helping hand at that time, Xiao Cheng."

"can."

Jiang Cheng agreed without hesitation.

What the other party proposed was more of a request than a demand.

Because whether to do it or not depends entirely on your conscience.

"Okay, Xiaocheng, wait a moment. I'll go get the token."

"Token?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

After a while, Shi Yan came over with a round sign the size of a palm in his hand.

"It's not enough to just know the location of the black market, you have to have it to enter."

Shi Yan said as he handed the round card to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng reached out to take it. The surface of the round plate was emitting a yellow glow. It seemed to be made of gold, but it was relatively light.

The medal has no front and back because both sides are engraved with the same number, 72.

“This is the number.”

Shi Yan explained: "My father told me that there is a limit on the number of tokens available in the outer city black market. Each token has a corresponding number, and only one person can enter at a time. Therefore, the token itself is a scarce resource and is easily coveted by others."

"I see."

Jiang Cheng looked much more serious.

"Xiaocheng, before I tell you the location of the black market, I must give you a piece of advice. Before you have a certain level of strength, never enter the black market. The black market is safe, but it may not be safe when you get out."

Speaking of this, Shi Yan's face showed grief.

"My father was targeted when he went to the black market to buy secret medicine. He was beaten severely after he got out. He managed to evade the pursuers and escaped. Not long after, he died from his injuries."

Jiang Cheng heard this and was about to say something to comfort her.

Shi Yan's tone was suddenly filled with resentment. "But who would have thought that the people who injured my father did not give up. They must have set their eyes on the token in my father's hand and my family's secret weapon, and kept searching around."

"My grandfather had no choice but to sell his property and secretly take us away to other places in the outer city. But we were still found. In order to protect us, my grandfather was killed by those people. I didn't dare to stay in the outer city, so I had to run to this slum. After many twists and turns, I finally got here.

I worked hard to practice secret martial arts, just to become a Force warrior, kill my enemies, and avenge my family. Unfortunately, I don't have this talent. Of course, I won't ask you to avenge me, Xiaocheng, that's too much to ask. "

Shi Yan smiled bitterly twice.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Indeed, it was obvious that those people were not simple characters. They actually dared to kill people in the outer city. "Brother Shi, what level of Force warrior is your father?"

"Level three."

Shi Yan saw what Jiang Cheng meant and said, "Being a level three Force Warrior is the minimum requirement to enter the black market. The higher the better, level four or five is best. But be careful, I heard from my grandfather that there are level seven, eight, and even nine warriors among them."

"understood."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.

The water in the outer city area is indeed deeper.

In this slum, maybe a fourth or fifth level Force warrior can walk around with ease.

But in the outer city, it is only the minimum threshold to enter the black market?
My level is more or less not good enough.

Shi Yan then told Jiang Cheng the location of the black market.

It sounds like it's in an alley, and the market is only open on the first and fifteenth of every month. If you go there at other times, it will be useless even if you have a token.

After giving all the method tokens to Jiang Cheng, Shi Yan seemed relieved.

He also wanted to avenge his father and grandfather, but with his strength, going there would only mean death. Without seeing this thing, he recalled those painful memories.

It would be good if Jiang Cheng took this thing away.

Seeing Jiang Cheng put away the token, Shi Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, I will dictate the next volume to you, and you can take notes while listening."

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng nodded, but before that, he had another question.

"Brother Shi, after I sensed the Force, I found that absorbing it into my body consumes a lot of mental energy. Do you have any secrets that can improve mental energy?"

When Shi Yan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Xiao Cheng, you know, even my father and grandfather didn't get the secret weapon to cultivate spiritual power. That thing is available on the black market, but every time it appears, it is quickly bought by someone, and the price is not cheap."

"That's it."

Jiang Cheng was a little disappointed, but it was also expected.

"Xiaocheng, actually if you want to improve your mental strength, there are other ways."

Shi Yan changed the subject.

"any solution?"

Jiang Cheng asked quickly.

"Xiao Cheng, don't get excited yet. This method may not be as powerful as you think. Compared with practicing the secret weapon that can enhance spiritual power, it is even more of a world of difference. However, if you persist, it can also have some effect."

Shi Yan paused and continued, "This method was also told to my father by my grandfather, and I overheard it by accident. When you absorb the Force and feel that you have reached your limit and the pain is unbearable, do not stop but continue. Although it hurts, if you persist for a long time, your mental strength will increase little by little."

When Jiang Cheng heard this, his expression changed.

If possible, he really didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.

"There is no other way."

Seeing Jiang Cheng's expression, Shi Yan became more certain that Jiang Cheng had indeed sensed the Force.

"Those secret weapons that cultivate spiritual power are not only rare, but also require a higher level of understanding from the practitioners. Otherwise, the number of spiritualists would not be much less than that of force warriors."

"I understand. Thank you, Brother Shi, for the reminder." Jiang Cheng thanked him solemnly. He really had no other choice but to do this for now. In order to improve his strength, he had to endure some hardships.
