Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 91: The leader who swore an oath of blood and respected the others should be the leader in the city! The internal organs of the dragon, the progress of the true dragon transformation has increased greatly!

Not long ago, Ji Xiu borrowed fifty county soldiers from Zhao Jiu, pacified Lindu, and used powerful bows and crossbows to kill two leather-refined warriors from the Zhonghuang Sect in battle.

When he presented the head to the great county lord Zhao, Zhao Jiu was overjoyed and gave himself the position of "Chief Boss of the Mountain Road" to replace the three major gangs.

Originally, after winning over the three major businesses, including the old man Liao Yuanhua of the Zhanjing Sword Hall.

Ji Xiu originally hoped to be able to use the warriors and disciples under their tutelage to be sent out to the surrounding mountain towns and hunting lodges.

Then, he used his unique business authority as the chief of Anning County to purchase the wealth in the mountains from the mayors and farm owners.

Then, the Lin family shop, which had been transformed, was set up at the former headquarters of the three major gangs on West Street. It sold yams and magic materials to the gentry, wealthy families, and martial artists from various martial arts schools in the county, forming a cycle in exchange for money.

Although he is now practicing the Mortal Transformation and Leaping into the Dragon Gate, after reaching the third volume of True Dragon Transformation, the training of his own muscles and bones is no longer something that can be improved by ordinary mountain materials bought with silver and money, so he can continue to make progress.

But there is more to cultivation than just tempering the bones.

The subsequent skin refining is divided into three stages: 'Jade Skin', 'Outer Gang' and 'Fairy Clothes'. The skin refining techniques, consumables, elixirs for cultivating the outer gang and even the secret technique of making fairy clothes are all money-eating beasts and money-consuming caves.

He used the secret Xiuzhen Sect's 'Turtle Snake Great Rock Posture' to train his tendons.

The bones were tempered by the secret teachings of 'Mortal Transformation and Leaping into the Dragon Gate' from the Water Lord's Mansion at the end of the Eastern Cang Sea.

Such a solid and deep foundation.

Ji Xiu thought that the skin refining stage was the end of the "strength stage".

I must also practice the best skin tempering and external energy methods, otherwise, all the efforts I have made to build up this foundation will be wasted.

Therefore, you should prepare money and goods in advance to ensure the basic expenses for leather refining so that you will not be short of money at the last moment.

But the words of Lu Chengfeng and Liao Yuanhua awakened Ji Xiu and asked him to guess the leaders of these mountain towns and village owners and the local tyrants.
I'm afraid that he may not be able to obey a sixteen-year-old boy.

Originally, Ji Xiu was still thinking about how to intimidate these local tyrants. While he was thinking, he heard from Wei Dingchang about the leaders of the three major gangs, Yang Daohan, Zhang Liechen, and Xu Xin.

The reason why he was able to establish his prestige along the 500-mile mountain road was because he personally risked his life, hunted three monsters, swore an oath of blood alliance, and used it to win over the people, thus establishing such a status.

When I heard it for the first time, I immediately sneered.

Even if there are three hundred-year-old intelligent monsters, they still need three people to be cautious, travel together, and go deep into the mountain roads to hunt them?
Sure enough, this mountain path of the 'Earth Dragon Cave' was once contaminated by the abyss of abyss energy, resulting in more monsters as one went deeper. For ordinary warriors, even if they had cultivated to the level of skin refining, it was like a den of dragons and tigers.

Unless one is like Duan Chenzhou or Gu Baichuan, who are dressed in immortal robes and have almost become a "master of Qigong", one would not dare to ride a horse into the mountains, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will be killed in an overturned car.

Most of those who can cultivate to the level of skin refining value their lives very much. If they happen to go deep into the mountain paths and are unlucky enough to be surrounded by monsters, it would be a loss if they lose their lives due to a single mistake.

From this perspective, being able to hunt down a skin-refining monster by oneself is indeed a skill.

but.

For Ji Xiu, who has obtained the magical power of 'Searching Mountains and Chasing Seas' from the Jade Talisman, and now is blessed with the talents of 'Spiritual Perception' and 'Observing Qi'.

The Dilong Cave Mountain Road is a maze of jungles, dark and full of dangers.
To him, it was no less than the emperor's autumn hunting. He could walk on flat ground in his own back garden!

In one day and one night, he wore an eighth-grade fine embroidered knife, carried a seventh-grade broken jade bow, and in his quiver hung the magical armor-piercing arrows borrowed from Gu Baichuan. He rode on a green-horned jade deer and traveled four hundred miles at night, almost reaching the heart of the Earth Dragon Cave!
Here, every few dozen steps, you can see an intelligent monster that is extremely sensitive to blood.

An ordinary warrior, even one with refined skin, would be killed if he stepped in rashly if he was not careful.

But Ji Xiu used his spiritual sense to detect the monsters first, and then used his aura to see through the monsters' details and weaknesses.
After searching all night, they captured four lone hundred-year-old monsters, two hundred-year-old long-armed ancient apes, a red python, and a thundering leopard, all of which were descendants of the great monsters that bred in this Earth Dragon Cave.

Then, when they are resting and relaxing, quietly and quietly, touch the limit of their perception range.

Then, he used his great archery skills to shoot three arrows in succession, targeting their weaknesses and striking them with precision. In addition, the force of the arrows made the monsters feel dazed, and they were almost killed with every arrow!
With the blessing of spiritual perception and the ability to detect qi, the two kinds of mountain-searching talents, Ji Xiu was more perceptive when traveling in mountains and rivers than those native monsters and goblins, just like a 'mountain priest' born and raised.

Just one day.

These four hundred-year-old monsters.
It was thrown in front of the newly built Ji Mansion on West Street in Anning County!

The door was wide open, and more than a dozen tables were set up to entertain guests from all over the world.

Hearing the noise, they all turned around to look.

Looking at the firecracker debris, it was stirred by the huge shock force and flew all over the sky.

And the young man's faint whisper echoed throughout the mansion.
The mayor of the mountain town and the owner of the hunting manor gathered from all directions.

For example, Liang Cheng, the owner of the Tiger Hunting Manor, who was the first to slam the table, was now looking at the four demon corpses that were pierced through the vitals by arrows and killed with one blow.
His throat rolled several times, and based on the wound, he kept guessing in his mind how they died. After a while, he only got one answer.

These hundred-year-old monsters are comparable to humans in terms of skin refining, and their tendons, bones, membranes, energy, blood and marrow are even better than those of humans.
He was killed in one blow before he even realized the crisis was coming!

He looked at the boy in front of him, his back straight, like a lion returning to his territory, not showing any fear at all. He pulled out the tendons of a hundred-year-old python with his own hands, his body covered in blood and full of murderous aura.

He asked a young girl next to him to pout her lips and grunt as she took a look. At a glance, she realized that it was a heavy bow of the 'Seventh Grade Treasure Bow', stuffed with animal tendons and with a bowstring. She fell into a long silence.

"Lao Liang, what are you waiting for?"

"Damn it, this guy is so arrogant! He is indeed capable, but in this Shan County trade, we are the ones doing the hard labor, and he is the only one who can sell in the county."

"We provide the manpower and effort to ship the goods, and he only needs to ask his subordinates to sell them, and then he can sit back and reap the benefits. He gets such a big benefit, why doesn't he give us some face?"

"When the three from the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion were in power, they at least treated us in Huanshan Town and Liezhuang politely for the sake of appearance. But our new 'chief' doesn't seem to be happy about it."

"I support you. Just walk away. What can he do to us?"

Liang Cheng, the owner of the Tiger Hunting Manor, could clearly feel that his arms were being hit continuously by the people behind him, and someone was secretly poking at his spine, forcing him to move forward.

For a moment, he was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, his eyes became fierce, and he swung his sleeves violently, angry and embarrassed:
"Push, push, push what!?"

"Get out of my way!"

After saying that, he raised a knife and looked at Ji Xiu, with a stern face and a frown, and then he rushed towards him!

Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes, feeling a surge of blood and energy condensing into a stream, and subconsciously, he slightly opened his five fingers and grasped the sword.

He watched Liang Cheng, the leader of one of the eighteen linked mountain towns and hunting villages.

He took ten steps forward and just as he got close, he looked fierce and aggressive.

He had already secretly prepared his sword and was about to perform the "Posha Prison Breaking" move. This was the moment to truly measure the strength of a skin refiner.
However----

Stab it!

The bully from outside the county just raised the knife in his hand, but did not chop towards Ji Xiu.

Instead, he cut two fingers of his other hand in a flash, splashing blood, then raised his arm high, stood beside Ji Xiu, looked around, and shouted fiercely:

"What do you mean by heroic spirit, a tiger sitting in the mountains? Huh?"

"After seeing the chief today, I finally understood what this concept meant!"

"You bastards were pushing and shoving me from behind, almost causing me to stumble. On such an important day, I made a fool of myself in front of Mr. Yu, do you know that?"

After saying that, he held up his two fingers that were bleeding, walked quickly to the banquet table at the side, took a sip of wine from a large bowl, poured a drop of wine into the wound, and glanced around.

Then, he shook his head in salute to Ji Xiu and drank the wine in big gulps:
"Eighteen Mountain Town and Liezhuang swore an oath of blood to acknowledge the leadership of the three major gangs, but none of the three could become the 'boss'."

"But now, we have the candidate!"

pat!

Liang Cheng smashed the bowl into pieces, leaned on the knife and shouted, saying the most cruel words, speaking from the heart, with a fierce look in his eyes:

"I hit it off with Boss Ji right away. I'm the first to take the lead. I'm willing to hand over the power of the hunting village trade to Boss Ji. In the past, the three major gangs sold him 70%. I'm willing to work with Boss Ji."

"Fifty-fifty split!"

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wiped the blood and took out a piece of emerald-colored warm jade from his pocket. There was a hint of red in the core. He quickly stepped forward and looked at Ji Xiu:
"Today, the general has held a banquet and invited us to discuss the future 500-mile mountain road and the mountain product trade with Anning County. This is a major event related to the cultivation of the martial artists in the county."

"The chief is so young, yet he serves the county and the people so well. Liang Cheng admires him very much."

"This piece of glazed jade is a treasure that my men found while searching the mountains. Even if the weather is freezing cold, if you hold it in your hands, you will feel a surge of warmth."

"Girls in the county and the prefecture are precious."

"I've heard that the chief has a sister. The chief's sister is our sister!"

"I brought this jade from far away, just to give it to the chief as a gift to celebrate the establishment of his new house on this auspicious day. I hope you will not refuse it!"

Seeing Ji Xiu's eyes twitched slightly, he couldn't hold it together for a moment, but he finally loosened his hand on the knife and accepted his gift.

Liang Cheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned around inconspicuously and looked at his colleagues who were stunned, confused, and mostly pale after hearing his words with disdain, spitting in his heart:

"Fuck it!" "You're pushing me out to be used as a gun?"

"It would have been fine if this guy didn't show up just now, but after he showed up, anyone with a bit of eyesight wouldn't have just bumped into him, right?"

"I'm still thinking about how to save my face, but you guys are so shameless, stirring up trouble from behind. If I lose face, won't the reputation of this new 'boss' be ruined?"

"When the time comes, you will all change the subject, applaud and praise the new leader, and use me as a stepping stone to establish your authority, right?"

"I am reckless, not stupid. Which jerk just now was secretly doing something bad and pushed me hard, causing me to take a step forward without even thinking of a countermeasure?"

"Hey, who cares."

"None of you are good birds, so let's all go into the water together."

As the initiator, Liang Cheng raised his hand and gave up two shares of the profits, showing his face in front of Ji Xiu.

Then he walked back leisurely, drinking wine and eating meat with big gulps, looking as if he was content with it.

Suddenly, the mayors and owners of the other towns who were traveling with him turned pale when they saw this:

"You are generous, you are noble, you are amazing!"

"You've had a good life, have you ever thought about your brothers?"

"Cut some flesh off your own body to please this boss."

Many people felt heartbroken and hesitated as they watched the situation.

but.
Just as Liang Chengcai sat down.

Song Chai from Wushan Town's hunting village suddenly raised his head again:

"Boss, you hunted a long-armed white ape last time, and I happened to have secretly prepared a portion of 'white ape marrow' that nourishes the bone marrow. I brought it to celebrate for you!"

"Master Liang's share."

"I agree!"

One pops up, two pops up.

All of a sudden, another group of people couldn't sit still anymore.

"Boss, I have a few aged bone-hardening yams in my farm."

"Always in charge."

Looking at the mayor and the owner of the manor who were originally very aggressive and wanted to make a big scene, they changed their attitudes faster than their backs were sprained.

Ji Xiu touched the colored glaze jade in his hand and looked at the owner of the Tiger Hunting Manor, Liang Cheng, who was sitting there enjoying the wine and meat, and couldn't help but sigh.

A person who can practice martial arts to the point of proficiency and open his own business, even if he is big and strong and seems to have a bad temper.

But he was very careful and able to respond quickly. He directly pulled the person who had caused him to stumble into the water with him. Then, by setting an example himself, he quietly made friends with the new boss and left an impression on him.

Such means
It really doesn't make people feel disgusted.

He won over some and divided some, and set an example for the mayors and farm owners who expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the "chief" and continue to open and maintain the mountain trade.
Ji Xiu held the knife and couldn't help but smile.

In this 500-li Anning County, the local tyrants who control the eighteen hunting towns and mountain towns surrounded by mountains are all very powerful and have dozens of swordsmen and warriors under their command. They are well-known in their own right, only slightly inferior to the businesses and martial arts schools in this county.

In the past, how could anyone take a mere groom like him seriously?

But from now on.

These people are his subordinates who provide him with a steady supply of money.

The hunters and herbal farmers under their command go into the mountains to collect herbs in large numbers.

When there is a harvest, he will sell it to the Ji family shop that he has newly opened based on the Lin residence, and ask him to resell it in Anning County and make the difference.

It was estimated that Miss Lin Ruyue, who was assigned by Lin Zhenhai to help him and went out of the boudoir to do business.

Even if 40% of the profits were given to the kiln, firewood market, cattle and sheep market, and whale-killing knife shop, they would be asked to free up staff to help.

It is still nearly twice the revenue of any one of the "three major gangs"!

At least one thousand five hundred taels of silver a month!

Ji Xiu exhaled a breath of foul air, and his whole body felt light and fluttery. Looking at the gathering of heroes, and vaguely seeing the leaders of various parties headed by him, he couldn't help but think in his heart:
"When I was a horseman, I was thinking about when I could start my own business, be the boss of a small piece of land in this peaceful place, and earn a decent living. That would be considered a success."

"but now"

"Unconsciously, I have surpassed it."

When did he ever think about today?

but.

When he passed by the dozen tables, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a round wooden table in the inner house. His master Duan Chenzhou was drinking with Gu Baichuan, who was accompanied by Han Ying and Zhang Qing. When he looked over here——

Suddenly, he was awakened from this light and floating state of mind, as if he had been hit by a slap in the face. He suddenly remembered that Duan Chenzhou had once "opened up" him and told him about "force-passing martial artists", "qi-training masters", and "titled martial arts".
A sentence that was said.

Don't become a short-sighted "miser" in this county just because of your temporary gains!
"Yes."

Ji Xiu suddenly woke up and seemed to understand something.

Where did this happen?

The boss of the county controls the mountain trade. Perhaps he has a respectable position in his small piece of land and has a seat in power wherever he goes.

But when we arrived at the mansion.

Would the real aristocratic families in the thirty-six trades invite you, a country rich man, to come to their table for dinner?

"I"

“We need to go further!”

"One day, I will not only be respected by the local lords as the head of the country, but also be respected as the head of the country."

"I will also go to Jiangyin and ask those big men in the city to respect me and treat me as an equal!"

"This is not called standing out."

"Waiting until then"

“Perhaps, this is when I can truly hold my head high!”

The road is long and still ahead.

now
We’ve only just started!

For a moment, Ji Xiuxiu was silently calculating in his mind.

Four hundred-year-old monsters, brewing monster pills, plus the jade dew medicine powder that Lord Gu sent before, which has not yet been taken
This should allow me to forge the internal organs of a dragon, and further my progress towards becoming a true dragon, right? ?
His expression gradually became calm and he did not let the outside world disturb his martial arts mind, and began to ponder secretly.

Suddenly
Duan Chenzhou, who had put down his wine glass in the distance, looked at him for a while, nodded slightly, drank the wine in one gulp, and smiled:
"Ruzi can be taught."

The sun sets.

A banquet, the noise dissipated.

Inside the "Ji Residence" which has a plaque with the Chinese character "Ji" on it but has not yet been moved.
Ji Xiu applied medicinal powder in the backyard, took magic pills, strengthened his internal organs, and then improved his tendons and bones!
All I could see on the surface of his skin were the big tendons rising and falling like earthworms, making his whole body feel as if it was on fire in this cold December weather!
The light illuminated the twenty-four vertebrae along the spine, adding golden light, which continuously extended from the internal organs, making his blood and energy abundant, with half of his body bare, like billowing wolf smoke!
[The master of the ordination swallowed the seventh-grade Jade Dew Medicinal Powder and fell into a state of 'sudden enlightenment', and the advance progress was improved! ]

[The master swallowed a hundred-year-old demon pill and beat his spine.]

[The advance progress of the master of the talisman, 'True Jiao Transformation', has increased significantly! 】

[True Dragon Transformation: (14/24)! ]

Rumble, rumble.

Feeling the rise and fall of my heart, my internal organs are faintly roaring like a dragon.
Ji Xiu clenched his fists.

just now.

A hundred-year-old monster.
I feel like I could be beaten to death!
It’s not the perfection of golden bones.

Better than bone-tempering!
