The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

"A shop selling cherry blossoms and stink bugs?"

"Okay, I'll bring you a big gift when I'm done with my work."

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes.

He immediately decided to take a good "stroll" around the Oriental Chamber of Commerce before leaving.

These Japanese pests are almost all incredibly wicked; killing them would be a great act of merit.

For Zhao Yi, it was like a walking lottery.

"Open the Dharma Eye, connect Yin and Yang!"

Zhao Yi activated his divine eye and looked towards the Oriental Chamber of Commerce. Sure enough, the entire Chamber of Commerce was shrouded in black energy.

"Such a strong malevolent aura!"

"These Japanese devils have committed countless evil deeds. It would be a disservice to my life not to kill them."

Zhao Yi's eyes grew even colder.

"snort!"

He still needs to tour the provincial capital and sort out the banknotes; it's not the right time for him to deal with the cherry blossom bugs.

"A dark and windy night is good for getting things done. I'll come back tonight and kill you vermin."

Zhao Yi then turned and left.

There are many Japanese devils in China now, and he is just a minor Taoist priest who cannot solve the national crisis.

If he encounters a bedbug, Zhao Yi doesn't mind squashing it, even if he gets bitten a few times.

"Besides, getting bitten a few times might even bring some fun to my indestructible body."

Zhao Yi arrived at Xinglong Bank on Haopan Street.

"The provincial capital is indeed the provincial capital. This bank is far superior to those in Renjia Town. I wonder if they have enough silver dollars."

Upon entering the bank, a scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, and the mahogany counters gleamed with an oily sheen.

An accountant wearing round-framed reading glasses was looking down and fiddling with an abacus.

Some of the waiters who were dozing off nearby saw Zhao Yi enter, and seeing his extraordinary bearing, they quickly stepped forward to bow.

"Exchange it all for me, keep 2 silver dollars, and exchange the rest for gold."

Without saying much, Zhao Yi took out all the silver notes and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"what!"

When the shop assistant saw the stack of silver notes, which amounted to more than 100,000, he was immediately taken aback.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, look!"

The gentleman with the round-framed reading glasses quickly stepped forward, picked up the stack of banknotes, and carefully examined them.

Examine the ticket number and seal, and repeatedly compare them with the hidden marks.

After confirming everything was correct, they went inside to count the money, and soon the shopkeeper ordered someone to bring out two wooden boxes.

Inside a large wooden crate, neatly stacked silver dollars gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

In another wooden box were rows of standard small yellow croakers.

"Um!"

Zhao Yi remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the two wooden crates before he casually nodded.

He was saving the money for himself, because no matter the era, it's hard to be without money.

Anyway, a single lottery draw costs 4000 silver dollars now, so these silver dollars aren't worth much anymore. I might as well save some and enjoy them.

The gold obtained through exchange serves two purposes: first, to preserve its value, and second, to improve physical condition in critical moments.

It can be considered a trump card, a foundation.

"If you have done good deeds, leave some gold behind, after all, it's also important to have money to spend."

Zhao Yi thought to himself.

Earning merit these days isn't hard; you can kill demons and monsters, or even slaughter Japanese devils.

"Young master, would you like the money delivered to your residence?" the shopkeeper asked respectfully.

"unnecessary!"

Zhao Yi casually said, "Ah Da, come in!"

The Heavenly Divine Weapon, which had pretended to leave, has now returned.

With a exertion of his arms, he lifted a wooden box with one hand.

"Divine strength! He's truly born with divine strength!" the shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaim.

These two wooden crates required two people to lift them with all their might.

Unexpectedly, this strong man could carry two of them by himself.

Zhao Yi ignored these people; after all, it was just a minor incident.

Back in the rickshaw, he casually put all the silver dollars and gold bars from the box into the copper granary ritual implement.

Then we took a rickshaw and continued exploring the provincial capital.

When they came across some pastry shops, Zhao Yi bought some local specialties and souvenirs to bring back to Uncle Jiu and the others when he returned to Renjia Town.

They bought another batch of even better high-end suits and leather shoes.

I bought some daily necessities and furniture, and then found a shop with a sign to have a meal.

"Tie Niu Beef Noodle Restaurant?"

But when Zhao Yi looked up, he was immediately stunned.

A sense of familiarity.

"Boss, would you like some noodles? They're a family recipe, incredibly delicious!"

A man with a somewhat simple-minded look, yet exuding a kind of honesty, greeted them with a smile.

"Li Tieniu?"

Zhao Yi stared at the man in front of him, momentarily stunned.

He hadn't expected to meet this person in the provincial capital.

"Okay, I'll have a bowl of beef noodles, no scallions, and lots of cilantro."

Zhao Yi entered with a smile, while A-Da stood outside with him waiting.

"Alright, sir!"

Li Tieniu immediately smiled and went to make beef noodles.

"It seems quite professional!"

Seeing Li Tieniu's skillful and efficient movements in rolling and pulling noodles, Zhao Yi couldn't help but nod in approval.

A few minutes later, a bowl of hot beef noodles was served.

"The portion of beef is quite generous, much more than at a Lanzhou beef noodle shop."

Zhao Yi was very satisfied and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

"The taste is indeed good. No wonder they can open a noodle shop in the provincial capital. I bet it's quite popular during mealtimes."

The rent in this provincial capital is not cheap, so it's no wonder that Li Tieniu's noodle shop is doing well here.

"How's the food, sir?" Li Tieniu asked with a smile as he walked over.

It wasn't mealtime, and apart from Zhao Yi, there were no other customers in the restaurant, so Li Tieniu couldn't resist coming over to chat.

"It tastes great! The noodles are springy and chewy, and the soup is rich and flavorful. The owner has excellent skills!" Zhao Yi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's kind of you!" Li Tieniu's face lit up with joy, revealing a smug expression.

After finishing his noodles, Zhao Yi left the noodle shop.

"I never expected to run into Li Tieniu. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see that young master Cao who doesn't eat beef."

Zhao Yi took out a Double Happiness cigarette and lit it.

"call--"

"This smoke has a rich, sweet aroma; it's really quite good."

Having been in this world for many days, Zhao Yi finally started smoking again.

I bought this at a foreign goods store.

"A cigarette after a meal is better than being a god!"

Leaning back in the rickshaw, Zhao Yi exhaled a deep, contented smoke ring.

"I've bought almost everything I need. Now I'll just wait until it's less crowded at night to go to the Oriental Chamber of Commerce and wipe out those cherry blossom bugs before I can go back to Renjia Town."

Zhao Yi secretly pondered what to do next.

There are police stations in the provincial capital during the day; if you go directly to their door, you might run into trouble.

After all, he didn't want to become a wanted criminal. Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to cause trouble and disrupt his peaceful and leisurely life.

"Then let's find a bathhouse now and wait until tonight."

Zhao Yi's face showed anticipation.

Bathhouses in this era should also have a second floor, right?

Perhaps there are more fancy tricks involved.

blah blah-

Just then, the sound of galloping horses suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, several people rode up on horseback, followed by dozens of soldiers carrying long spears.

"Get out of my way, all of you, get out of my way!"

One of the riders on horseback roared arrogantly.

"Ah, watch out!"

"Someone has died!"

"Someone's going to die!"

On the street, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old was leading a boy of about seven or eight years old across the street.

People on both sides of the street gasped in shock at what they saw.

"Who is that guy?"

Zhao Yi's gaze sharpened slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"The spoiled brat who doesn't eat beef—"

"Cao Shaolin?"
