Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 12 Buying meat on the black market to speed up charging

It was late at night, and in a small inn in the south of the outer city, Li Cunxiao opened his eyes on the bed.

After he got out of bed and took out a set of dark blue, almost black night clothes from the package, a waiter knocked on the door and called softly:

"Guest, there are still two quarters of an hour until midnight."

"okay, I get it"

After the footsteps faded away, he quickly changed his clothes, put on a loose cloth robe to cover himself, and quickly went downstairs.

People like Li Cunxiao and Qin Yu were just ordinary escort agency guys. They usually had to go out to do their work and the restrictions were not very strict, but sneaking out in the middle of the night would certainly not be allowed.

So after finishing work in the afternoon, He Bi said goodbye to the manager and took Li Cunxiao out of the escort agency, and he would not go back tonight.

Li Cunxiao naturally would not take the liberty to visit someone, so he found an inn and closed his eyes to rest after eating.

After all, normally, the guys would go to bed at 8pm and get up at 4am to practice. For tonight, he had to be prepared.

Soon, footsteps were heard from the street. Li Cunxiao looked closely and saw that He Bi was followed by two guards. They had broad palms and bright eyes, and it was obvious that they were skilled in martial arts.

He thought about it and understood. Unlike himself, who came from a poor family, as the son of a wealthy merchant from the outer city, the son of a wealthy family should not sit idle in the hall. After all, he was going to the black market, so it was wise to be prepared.

"Brother Li, let's go."

Why bother to go first? He went into a remote area in the south of the city, turned around several times, and finally came to the entrance of a tunnel.

Not long after entering, the view suddenly opened up. Intermittent lights outlined the contours of a huge underground market.

Every ten or so steps, someone set up a stall, selling all sorts of strange wares. Some were covered in mud, as if freshly dug from the ground; some were stained with blood, and you could smell the fishy odor up close. There were also naked girls and children, and beautiful young men, caged like animals.
He Bi and Li Cunxiao both frowned and quickly walked through the area where stalls were set up. There was a shop at the innermost part, but there was no sign.

“This is Chai Gang’s business.”

He Bi said it softly, and Li Cunxiao immediately understood.

Cities are densely populated, so demons are rarely seen. The countryside and mountains are the hunting grounds for demons.

It is not yet known what means the inner city families use to supply demon meat, but no matter what, as long as there are warriors, there will be people who need demon meat, and as long as there is a market, there will be people who make money from it.

The Chai Gang controlled several mountain forests closest to Chuqiu County. When it came to cutting wood, collecting herbs, and hunting, one couldn't get around them.

The lower class people either had to pay to enter the mountains, or take the risk of going to the uninhabited mountains several miles away, where there were wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and the danger was self-evident.

Demon meat is naturally a good business. The Chai Gang did not dare to openly compete with the Inner City, so they took the lead in setting up a black market.

The meat in his shop is naturally more expensive than the meat sold at stalls outside, but the supply is more stable and the quality after processing is more guaranteed.

".For just this little bit, you want thirty taels of silver?"

After a while, Li Cunxiao and He Bi walked out of the shop, weighed the weight of about one pound in the paper bag, and couldn't help but be amazed.

One pound weighs thirty taels, which means that one tael of demon meat is worth three taels of silver, which is equivalent to three months' wages for a laborer.

Three months' wages, only to buy one or two ounces of meat?

Even though someone else was paying this time, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but feel the pain.

"Poor in literature, rich in martial arts"

Why can't I help but smile when I hear this?
"Brother Li is absolutely right, but we can't save this money."

"Although Chai Bang's shop is located on the black market, his products are worth every penny."

"If you buy the raw demon meat from those street stalls, there will be too much residual evil energy in it. Eating it can easily make people lose their minds and become manic and crazy."

“I’ve even heard that some people experienced strange physical symptoms after eating this.”

Hearing Hebi's whispered advice, Li Cunxiao's expression became serious, indicating that he accepted the advice. Only then did the former feel relieved. After leaving the black market, the two went their separate ways.

"Although the processed demon meat is delicious, it is too expensive. I can't keep borrowing money to buy meat."

“Depending on others is not the way to survive”

After Hebi left for a few minutes, Li Cunxiao turned around and went back into the black market. He soon came to a stall he had noticed before. "How much is the demon meat?"

The stall owner looked up and saw a man in a cloak. He said expressionlessly:

"Three taels of silver per pound"

Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up.

Three qian of silver for one liang of meat is still expensive, but it is acceptable compared to the price in the shop.

"Cut a piece and let me try it."

The stall owner was surprised, took out a knife, and stingily cut off a tiny bit of the nail of his little finger, saying sarcastically:
"Eat it if you're not afraid of going crazy."

When Li Cunxiao saw the boss's behavior, he was sure that the goods he was selling were genuine.

Sure enough, after eating the dry bacon-like meat, I felt a surge of heat and an inexplicable irritation in my head. But as the vajra glowed, my mind suddenly became clear.

is the real thing.

"Give me two pounds."

Hearing that Li Cunxiao's tone was normal, the boss breathed a sigh of relief and quietly took his right hand away from the hilt of the knife at his waist - there had been customers who went crazy and attacked people after trying the food before.

After receiving the money and packing up his things quickly, Li Cunxiao left without saying anything.

A quarter of an hour later, he returned to the inn safely.

Li Cunxiao first opened the bag he had bought from the Chai Bang shop. It contained ten sticks of dried meat, each weighing one tael. It was dark red in color and smelled distinctly of spices.

"Three taels each."

When the dried meat entered his mouth, it had a salty and spicy taste. Li Cunxiao chewed it hard, and his Adam's apple rolled.

goo.

As the heat spread, Li Cunxiao immediately performed the Eight Tiger Forms in the room. The pure nutrients replenished his qi and blood. At the same time, a stronger feeling of irritability than before came over him, and the Vajra flashed continuously.

To make an analogy, eating Zhang Yuelu's dried meat makes you feel as irritated as if you accidentally ate a fly, while eating Chai Bang's dried meat makes you feel as irritated as if someone forced you to eat a mouthful of shit.

After a quarter of an hour, the effect of the medicine wore off, the irritability disappeared, and the vajra was only about one-twelfth charged.

"The evil spirit is indeed more than Zhang Yuelu's dried meat, but the blood and energy contained in it are also much weaker. It was exhausted in just a quarter of an hour."

"It seems that the Chai Gang's skills in preparing demons are indeed a little lacking. While removing the evil spirit, they also removed the essence of their flesh and blood."

Li Cunxiao took a deep breath, took out another bag of dried meat, opened it, and tore off a piece of about one or two pounds from it.

The black jerky looks much worse than it actually is. Not only does it have a strong fishy smell, it also tastes like a piece of wood.

However, when the blood and qi in his flesh and blood began to dissolve and the evil spirit exploded, Li Cunxiao's expression changed instantly.

Hot hot hot!!!
In an instant, intense heat spread from the chest and abdomen to every part of the body, as if the body was thrown directly into boiling water. The skin instantly turned red like cooked shrimp, and the blue veins looked like popped earthworms.

At the same time, a strong desire to destroy emerged in his mind. For a moment, he even disliked the teacups on the table and wanted to smash them to vent his anger.

There was a young couple living in the next room. In the dead of night, faint moans could be heard.

The moment he heard the voice, Li Cunxiao's eyes were instantly bloodshot, like a cuckolded husband, and he even had the urge to kill.

If such strong negative emotions are really consumed every day, mental disorder is probably only a matter of time.

Fortunately, he had a vajra.

In the blink of an eye, clarity returned to his brain. Li Cunxiao suppressed his emotions and practiced Tiger Fist with wild movements. The vajra in his mind was like a breathing light. As he moved, clarity and madness continued to intertwine, and the golden light continued to rise.

For some reason, in this state of madness where there was still a glimmer of clarity, the practice of Tiger Form Eight Styles was more efficient than usual. He could clearly feel that as his limbs changed, blood and energy as thick as thumbs flowed through his fists and feet.

If he practices with this efficiency every day, within a month, he will be able to control his Qi and blood, achieve some success in boxing, and break through his hidden Qi!
