After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 31 31. The cicada is aware of the golden wind before it blows

Rumble.
The stone door opens.

Song Yan walked into the cave as usual.

It was midsummer and a sudden rain was falling outside the cave.

The gray gale and pale rainstorm almost submerged the entire mountain, making people's vision narrow.

This was exactly the situation that Song Yan could not see clearly.

But life still has to go on.

There is no way to escape.

As soon as he entered the cave, Miss Qiu looked up happily, called out "Brother Song", and then hurried over with a towel.

Song Yan wiped his slightly wet hair and looked into the cave.

The furnaces and cauldrons in other caves had been replaced long ago, but the two women in his cave were still alive and kicking.

The powerful vitality of the multi-tailed fox tribe is fully reflected in the princess. Even though this beauty is old, she is still delicate and charming, with taut and elastic skin. When she makes love, she is even more wonderful than Miss Qiu.

Not far away, in the flower bed, mysterious flowers and grasses were already growing vigorously. Song Yan couldn't help but walk over, stop, and listen to Cao Xueruo pointing at a certain flower or a certain grass and talking about it.

Cao Xueruo seems to be quite good at taking care of these flowers and plants, and is also familiar with these flowers.

Song Yan asked her this.

She only said that when she was a girl in Western Shu, her grandfather found a book on Xuanhua flowers from somewhere and gave it to her, which talked about these things.

When I was a princess, I was busy with intrigue and dealing with royal affairs, so I had no time and energy to take care of these things. I didn’t expect that now that I am here, I have the time and opportunity.

"Song Lang."

As the princess spoke, her eyes became moist and she stood up and moved closer to Song Yan like a little woman, her face full of happiness and joy. This was joy brought about by "the dual effects of being a devoted fan and wanting to forget the pain."

Song Yan held her waist and said suddenly, "I'm going to the market at the foot of the mountain tomorrow. Do you want anything?"

"No."

The princess shook her head gently.

Song Yan suddenly asked again: "Do you want to drink?"

The princess was stunned, but nodded slightly.

Song Yan smiled and said, "I'll bring you some."

"Song Lang, thank you." The princess hugged the man in front of her tightly.

If there were good wine, one could indulge in drunkenness, indulge in desires, and no longer think of any other unnecessary pain.

Alcohol and sex are certainly harmful.

But if a person is completely hurt, alcohol and sex become the last comfort.

The next day
Song Yan went down the mountain and went to the low-level market outside Shadow Play Peak with ease.

Today he did not cover up, but wore the black formal disciple uniform.

Over the years, he has figured out one thing: in the market opened by this sect, you have absolutely no chance of buying any core items, whether it is the spells of leather masters, talisman masters, or alchemy masters, or the unique skin-controlling technique of Shadow Puppet Peak.

Not to mention items that can improve your realm.

In addition to the "Bigu Pills", the most popular item sold here is another pill called "Xuanqi Pills".

To put it simply, Xuanqi Dan is "the less successful version of Xiaoxuanling Dan".

Song Yan and other formal disciples are allocated one pill of the "Xiao Xuan Ling Dan" every month. When used in conjunction with the practice of "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique", it is even better than the furnace cauldron.

However, the inferior so-called "Xuanqi Pills" can help people in the martial arts world to improve their skills and even directly break through certain bottlenecks because of the scarcity of Xuanqi inside.

Even if there is no breakthrough, this pill can still cure many unsolvable poisons in the world, so it can be called a "panacea pill".

However, "Xuanqi Dan" can only be purchased with contribution points.

This makes "contribution points" the "high-level currency" in the eyes of people who come here.

In short, this is a market town that fools servants and people in the underworld, and its main function is to connect with external subordinate earthly forces.

The items sold here are naturally common goods that will not reveal the sect's secrets.

The real market is probably "Qingxi Market where Shadow Play Peak goes to buy animal skins".

But Qingxi City is a place of mixed people and chaos.

If you want to go to that kind of place, you either have to go in a group from a big force, or you have to be a strong enough fighter on your own. Otherwise, once you leave the city, you will lose both your goods and your life.

However, when Song Yan came to this market again, ostensibly to go shopping and consume contribution points, he was actually listening with his ears perked up, trying to understand the situation outside through the conversations of people in the martial arts world.

Before, all he knew was how the Blood Spear Sect wiped out the remnants of the Wei Dynasty, how they sent the Wei royal family to the Puppet Palace, and how they established a new dynasty named "Jin".

But in the past six months, he has heard some unusual information.

First, a "tide of monsters" invaded from the Guyan Desert in the north of Jin State. The army defending the border of Jin State was actually overwhelmed, and even the leading general was trampled to death by the monsters.

Now, there is news that "Jin State is going to move its capital". A new dynasty that has only been established for less than two years is actually going to move its capital?

What are you hiding from?
Song Yan's information channels are limited.

But because of the princess, he knew a piece of news long ago: the King of Wei was still in contact with the Shanhai Cannibal Kingdom, and the Shanhai Cannibal Kingdom was located in the north of the Wei Dynasty.

All these pieces of information put together gave him an indescribable feeling of suffocation, the same kind of panic that the birds in the mountains and the insects on the ground feel after sensing a natural disaster.

Song Yan spent 3 contribution points and bought a cart of top-quality wines from the mortal world. These wines will be delivered to the mountain gate of the main peak of Nanzhu Peak by people in the martial arts world, which is very convenient.

Afterwards, he continued pacing, looked up at a small wooden pavilion with the words "Cang Gong Lou" on it at the edge of the market, and walked in.

"Cang Gong Building" is a very special place in this market.

But what makes it special is not that the things it sells are good, but that it is a place located in the fairy market but doing business with the gangsters.

What's sold here are all the martial arts skills of ordinary people in the martial arts world.

Of course, the martial arts that can be sold here can be regarded as top-level martial arts in the world, and may even be touted as "divine skills."

But no matter how powerful the magic skills are, they cannot withstand a simple "Qi Arrow Technique".

This is what is meant by "No matter how skilled you are at swordsmanship, you can still be shot down with one shot".
Therefore, this "Power Hidden Tower" can only be located on the edge of the city, and it was impossible for cultivators to come here in the past.

Before Song Yan stepped into the building, he heard various conversations coming from inside.

"The entire family of Qingfeng Mountain Villa was wiped out, but the unique skills of the villa have never been lost to the world. I didn't expect that it was hidden in this immortal land."

"We don't accept gold or silver here, we only accept contribution points. If you want to buy something, go do some business and exchange it for contribution points."

"Old Man Nanshan's unique skill, the Great Hand Seal, only costs 6 contribution points."

"Purple Lightning Knife's "Sword Drawing Technique", 5 contribution points, no gold or silver."

The shouts paused when Song Yan walked in.

Many eyes stared over and fell on his official disciple's uniform.

Suddenly, someone walked out from the inner hall. He was a little fat, with a face full of flesh. There was a friendly smile hidden under his fierce look on his face. At first glance, he looked like a ruthless robber.

At this time, the man said respectfully: "Sir, you are honored to come here, what would you like to order? But our shop is full of martial arts from the martial arts world."

Song Yan glanced around.

After entering the second level of Xuan training and mastering the spells, he clearly understood that the casting of spells actually depends on the environment. To put it bluntly, if you want to cast a spell in a place with very little Xuan Qi, you may not be able to cast it after a few times. After that, all you have to rely on is the physical strength brought to you by the realm.

The martial arts of the Jianghu actually focus on "physical strength".

That is a technique developed by utilizing the power of the body, a killer move.

Song Yan believed that if he lost his magic and relied purely on his physical strength, he might not be a match for a martial arts master who was proficient in skills and killing moves. If the martial arts master was proficient in some kind of weapon, then he would not be a match at all.

Therefore, based on the principle of "since the upper limit cannot be raised, then point out the shortcomings", he wanted to buy a few martial arts books and practice them to perfection in case of emergency.

What if he escapes to the underworld one day?

If a natural disaster strikes and a flood is devastating, who knows where the fish in the water will be washed away by the huge waves?
After some careful selection.

Song Yan spent 187 contribution points to purchase 23 books on martial arts, which included boxing and palm techniques, weapon techniques, hidden weapon techniques, body techniques, poison techniques, unique techniques and even horizontal training techniques, as well as a special technique called "Turtle Breathing Technique".

Song Yan glanced at the remaining contribution points: 2984 points.

Ever since Senior Brother Zhang refused to accept his shadow puppets anymore, his monthly contribution points doubled from 160 to 310.

Add to that the 2 contribution points provided by the two furnaces in the cave every month, and it would be more than enough.

He packed up the 23 martial arts books into a bag, slung it over his shoulder, and left the martial arts storage building.

After a long time, a young man in red brocade clothes came out of the building. He glanced at the fat man who greeted Song Yan before, frowned and asked: "Laughing Butcher, who was that person who looked about the same age as me just now?"

The fat man known as the Laughing Butcher said, "Young Master, he is a formal disciple of Nanzhu Peak, his name is Song Yan."

The person called Young Master was none other than the youngest son of the Blood Spear Sect's leader, named Ma Zhao.

At this time, Ma Zhao sneered and said, "Buying so many martial arts skills, it seems that you are not doing well in the sect."

The Laughing Butcher said hurriedly: "Young Master, these are not our business."

Ma Zhao laughed out loud: "What are you afraid of? Let me teach you a lesson. These days, I have sent many furnaces and tripods to many masters of the Puppet Sect. I have a lot of connections. An ordinary disciple is not worthy of my attention. What's more, Song Yan is a joke of the Puppet Sect."

Immediately, he showed off the story of how Song Yan from Linglong Valley was beaten three times with a stick by Master Shi.

After that, he continued, "Now my father has ascended the throne and is the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. My elder brother is weak. If he dies, I will be the crown prince. These people rely on their own profound knowledge and look down on everyone. In my opinion, they should bow their heads and pay their respects to me."

The Laughing Butcher was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth a few times, and wanted to say something, but he also knew that over the years, the young master had been going in and out of the Puppet Sect, wandering among the monks, and it was normal for him to be proud and domineering at a young age.

Whatever he says, that's what it is.

"Young Master is right."

The laughing butcher responded with a chuckle.
