Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 35 Ready to Go, He Family Investment (35 Two-in-One)

"Sanlang, the chief escort really values ​​you."

Qian Laosan, Gao Hu and other veteran escorts looked at the young man who was sorting equipment in the warehouse and couldn't help showing a bit of envy.

"Brothers, you're joking. Coming to the warehouse is just like working for the escort agency. Why should we take it seriously?"

Li Cunxiao counted the swords, guns and leather armor in the house according to the account book, and chatted and laughed with several people while checking.

Although the old manager who handed over the handover to him when he came just now said that the affairs here were not busy and the daily maintenance work was done by the guys, they only needed to regularly check for damage, and check in and out of the warehouse.

But Li Cunxiao was a meticulous person. After politely sending the old steward away, he still had to check it himself before he could feel at ease.

As for Gao Hu and others, they came to congratulate Li Cunxiao after hearing that he had changed his job.

Although they had not been together for a long time, the veteran escorts all admired this powerful-looking young man.

He is diligent in practicing martial arts, serious in his work, and kind to others. The last time he went on a escort mission, he even saved Li Dajiao's life.

If my parents hadn't died long ago and had no one to help me, someone would have come to propose marriage to me by now.

"Silly boy, although escorting is profitable, you have to sleep in the open air, and there are monsters and bandits on the road. Which of you brothers doesn't have to worry about yourselves? You are afraid that one day, your wives and sons will be in mourning."

"This warehouse is different. Although you don't get any dividends, there's less work and plenty of time for fun. If I were you, I would have gone to a brothel long ago."

Seeing that Qian Yu and others were talking more and more nonsense, Gao Hu quickly coughed.

"Sanlang, don't listen to these nonsense. While you have time, practice more and seek guidance from Cui Yao, the escort leader. Practicing martial arts seriously is the right thing to do."

"Thinking back, the great escort leader Shi Tie also started out as a convoy escort, then came to the warehouse, studied hard, and eventually became the chief escort leader's disciple."

"You are still young, you must study hard!"

Li Cunxiao could tell these words came from the heart. Looking at the men in front of him who were at least thirty years old, he suddenly said:

"Brother Gao, Brother Qian, if I become the chief escort leader's disciple in the future, will you escort with me?"

"Hahahahahaha! You kid, Lao Gao said a few words, and you took it so seriously!"

Qian Laosan and several other men were laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground. Gao Hu was a little surprised when he heard this, because in his knowledge, the other party was not a person who liked to brag, nor was he even a person who liked to joke.

But if we talk about Zhang Lishi accepting Li Cunxiao as his disciple, isn’t the most famous person recently that Ye Chengxiao?
Gao Hu laughed in silence. It seemed that Li Sanlang was still a young man and sometimes had dreams.

It’s good to be able to dream.

In another ten years, when you become like us, you won't be able to dream anymore.
Gao Hu did not say this out loud, and the several bodyguards beside him did not take Li Cunxiao's words seriously. They just made an appointment to have a drink together after finishing their shift in the evening, and then turned and left.

In their opinion, Li Cunxiao is indeed talented in the escort agency, and he was transferred to the warehouse now because the chief escort valued the character he showed during the escort process and wanted to promote him.

But at most, after enduring four or five years, his qi and blood will be perfect, and then he can become a disciple of one of the four escort leaders such as Ge Yingyang. After another four or five years, he will become an escort leader in his thirties, which is already the peak.

Not to mention becoming Zhang Lishi's disciple, even becoming a disciple of the Cui brothers is something that many people desire but cannot achieve!

But over the years, none of the Cui brothers passed it on.

Li Cunxiao looked at the backs of the crowd as they walked away without saying much.

Actions speak louder than words. Once I break through my muscles and officially become Zhang Li's disciple, everything will become clear.

Anyway, Gao Hao and the others were right about one thing, that is, the work in the warehouse was indeed easy.

Li Cunxiao spent most of the day counting materials, and then stayed until dusk when his shift ended, but no one came to disturb him.

For him who was used to being busy, the sudden leisure time was really a bit difficult to adapt to.

When I was working as a helper in a restaurant, I would be caught and scolded even if I took a break to drink a sip of water.

Manager Sun is not a bad person, but when it comes to the wages he pays, he really wants his employees to clean the toilet every time they take a shit.

"There are not many people in the warehouse, but to be on the safe side, you should go home and practice your visualization method. You can continue to practice standing meditation and boxing here."

"Oh, Master Zhang's house must have a large collection of books. I come from a poor family and can only read a few characters."

"As the saying goes, reading is beneficial. The more chaotic the world becomes, the more valuable knowledge becomes. The more you learn, the more valuable it may be in the future."

Li Cunxiao planned one by one until he had filled up his day's tasks again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the time to rest and relax, he only left a part of it for Mu Cha.

In his previous life, he would have been miserable after living like this for three days. But in this life, the sense of fulfillment brought by internal competition made him feel at ease.

After finishing his shift, Li Cunxiao had a small gathering with his colleagues as agreed, and returned at 1:15 pm.

The night was deep and the streets were silent, with only the footsteps of the night watchman coming closer and farther away. The sound of knocking on the door indicated that the first watch had passed and ordinary people had already fallen asleep.

In the small courtyard house, Li Cunxiao gently opened the sandalwood box by the light of candlelight, and inside were five ferocious-looking dried tiger insects.

Along with the dried tiger demon meat, there were also three pounds of high-quality demon meat, elixirs for calming the mind, regulating internal dryness, detoxifying and healing wounds, as well as medicine for external injuries. There were many other things, covering all aspects of cultivation and combat.

According to Zhang Yuelu, these resources are enough for half a month of practice.

"Half a month?"

Li Cunxiao looked at the strange dried meat that looked like both a tiger and a centipede, feeling a little helpless.

Taking this tiger demon meat jerky once every three days while visualizing the fundamental diagram can last for half a month, because Li Cunxiao later discovered that visualizing the fundamental diagram is also mentally exhausting.

If you visualize again without getting enough rest, the effect will be very poor and it will also cause mental agitation. Too much is as bad as too little.

But with the remaining resources, especially the dried monster meat, Li Cunxiao can now eat a pound a day. Not to mention half a month, even half a day is not enough!

"Could it be that after I have the Vajra Pestle to absorb the evil spirit, my speed in consuming demon flesh is completely different from that of other warriors?"

"They don't eat only one or two ounces a day, do they?"

Li Cunxiao suddenly felt a headache and felt like he had become the drug-addicted protagonist in those immortal cultivation novels.

For the same pill, others can build their foundation by taking one, but I need to take a whole bottle. I am a real big spender and a krypton gold player.

Fortunately, his cultivation speed was directly proportional to his meat consumption. As long as he had enough demon meat to replenish his evil spirit, there would be no bottleneck in his martial arts training, and his future was bright.

So the question now is, what should we do with the shortage of demon meat? "We can still apply for more from Master Zhang. Maybe being able to eat it is a sign of genius?"

"But I can't ask for too much. Another kilogram or two will be the maximum. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the black market for the rest. I happened to order second-level demon meat last time. I wonder if the Chai Gang has any clues."

"Anyway, I'm not afraid of evil spirits. I can even let them skip the cooking process and see if I can save them some money. 100 taels per pound of demon meat."

Thinking of this, Li Cunxiao felt a headache again and planned to find an opportunity to sell Shen He's jade pendant in exchange for some silver.

Without saying much, I can still get seventy or eighty taels of silver. Combined with the savings on hand, I can get about a hundred taels of silver.

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat meat first."

After putting away the dried tiger demon worms, Li Cunxiao took out the leftover demon meat he had bought from the black market last time and placed it on the table together with the one given by Zhang Lishi.

After the Qi and blood are perfected, it is still unknown how much energy these things can provide for the Vajra!
Morning exercises at the Feihu Escort Agency training ground.

"Hey, why bother, Qin Yu, you two have made quite a bit of progress recently?"

Cui Yao was holding a white wax wood pole and walking back and forth in the team that was practicing sparring. If anyone made the slightest mistake, he would pick up the pole and hit them.

After hitting them round and round, he watched Qin Yu and He Bi for half a minute, but he couldn't find the right place to strike them. He was a little surprised.

Seeing the other party put down the stick, Qin Yu's tense heart finally relaxed a little, and He Bi also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Instructor Cui, I'm deeply humbled by your compliments. However, Qin Yu and I have been frequently consulting with Li Sanlang lately, and have benefited greatly from it."

Li Sanlang? Li Cunxiao?
Upon hearing this, Cui Yao couldn't help but think of the young man who was transferred from the escort team to the warehouse.

Honestly, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Lishi doing this to honor the righteous act. But after all, he had known the other party for many years and could more or less taste a little different.

But when that possibility came to his mind, he was a little hesitant to believe it, and it was even harder to confirm it.

Ten years ago, he often did this kind of thing on impulse, but after being taught a lesson by his elder brother many times, Cui Yao gradually learned to put away his curiosity.

If he could see it, his elder brother Cui Wei would definitely see it too. Since his elder brother didn't react, he didn't care.

No matter whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk and wait and see the show.

"Li Cunxiao is indeed quite good. If he had someone to help him at home, his martial arts training would surely be smoother than it is now."

After saying this casually, Cui Yao walked away carelessly with the ash wood pole in his hand.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

He Bi suddenly remembered what he had mentioned to his father, that he planned to have Li Cunxiao registered as a worker in the grain shop.

Having a martial artist listed in a shop is actually a form of protection money. When others know you have connections, invisible troubles will be reduced.

Given Li Cunxiao's ability to "control qi and blood", Mr. He naturally opposed his son's plan when he first heard about it, but now that Li Cunxiao has become the manager of the warehouse, the situation has changed again.

Why come to the escort agency to learn martial arts? First, he has illusions about his martial arts talent, and second, he wants to find a job in the escort agency.

I have been practicing martial arts for more than a month now. I eat demon meat and practice boxing every day. I have gradually reached my ceiling - not as good as the best, but better than the worst. It will not be a big problem to achieve perfect qi and blood in a few years. As for the level of muscles, it is difficult to say whether I can become a disciple.

With such a shattered fantasy, finding a job became a source of distress.

The He family grain shop is financially strong, but suffers from a lack of military force. They are afraid that if something happens in the future, they will not be able to protect themselves.

The invited servants are certainly powerful, but how can they compare to the golden signboard of the escort agency?
Other people may not be interested in the job of warehouse manager, but for He Bi and Mr. He, it is a good position.

There is no need to escort the bodyguards, there is no risk, and you can often interact with the bodyguards. Maybe you can have a meal and drink with them occasionally and establish a deep friendship with them.

Li Cunxiao is now the manager of the warehouse. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, ask him to help. Maybe he can get a stable job in the escort agency.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as the Flying Tiger Escort Agency's reputation is firmly on your shoulders, right?
In this case, does my father have any reason to refuse?

The more He Bi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. After finishing his morning exercise, he excitedly went to find Li Cunxiao and wanted to invite him to his house tonight.

"tonight?"

Li Cunxiao was delighted.

He had already planned to visit the angel investor, but his arrival was perfectly timed. He had noticed that after reaching Qi and Blood Perfection, the effects of the demon meat had significantly declined.

Nowadays, the flesh and blood bought on the black market, whether from a firewood shop or a street stall, requires eating a pound of it to achieve a slight increase in weight.

Before breaking through the perfection of Qi and blood, one pound of demon meat a day could fill the Vajra Pestle once every twenty days, but now the time has doubled and the effect has been greatly reduced.

Li Cunxiao knew this day would come, so he specially kept a piece of blood-marked mandrill meat for comparison test. The result was very clear. The flesh and blood of this suspected demon with perfect blood and strength provided more evil energy than the dried meat on the black market.

Now, we can basically summarize some rules:

The higher the strength of the demon meat and the less processing it undergoes, the higher the amount of evil energy it contains. If we use the blood-marked mandrill as the standard for a first-tier demon, the black market dried meat has an evil energy content of 0.6 mandrills and a blood energy content of approximately 0.4 mandrills, which translates to a strength roughly equivalent to that of a warrior who controls qi and blood.

After all, demons of this strength level are relatively easy to kill for warriors with strong qi and blood, and cardiopulmonary circulation.

The "superior" demon meat that Zhang Lishi had given him was indeed superior. Its blood and qi content was approximately 0.7 Xiao, and after ingestion, the evil spirit was very low, equivalent to approximately 0.3 Xiao. For ordinary warriors, it was undoubtedly an excellent training material that could be consumed without any burden.

But what Li Cunxiao needed was completely different from what ordinary warriors needed. While others looked down upon evil spirits, he embraced them with open arms.

Fortunately, after discovering the problem last night, he immediately went to the black market and finally got some news about the second-level demon meat at the Chai Gang shop.

The good news is that demon meat is available.

After Li Cunxiao proposed to skip the processing process, the shopkeeper's expression became very strange, but he still agreed reluctantly. He gave a discount on the original price of 100 taels per catty, reducing it to 70 taels per catty, and the goods could be picked up the next day, without wasting processing time waiting.

The bad news was that, considering Li Cunxiao's daily consumption of one jin (approximately 100 grams), seventy taels (approximately 100 grams) was still quite expensive. Regardless of the effectiveness of the second-level demon meat, he would need to buy at least ten days' supply, which in turn cost him seven hundred taels (approximately 100 grams).

Seven hundred taels!
Even if he sold Shen He's jade pendant, he could only get a hundred taels at most. Moreover, after careful consideration, he found that this thing could not be sold.

Shen He's personal jade pendant had made its way onto the black market, attracting considerable attention. This kind of thing was like the custom-made luxury cars of the wealthy in their past lives; ordinary people couldn't tell what it was, but those in the inner circle could tell at a glance.

The identities of Zhang Lishi and himself as master and disciple have not been made public yet, so it would be best not to create any complications.

When Li Cunxiao thought about this, his eyes looked at He Bi even softer, as if he was looking at a savior.

"Brother He, you are really my timely help!"
