"Master Qin, how can the spirit fish be so easy to fight? You mean Liang Ashui? He hasn't seen anyone for several months..."

After eating the spirit fish, Qin Xiong had no interest in ordinary fish. It was not only a great supplement, but also tasted the most delicious.

"When the spirit fish appears, remember to send someone to notify me."

After leaving a few words, Qin Xiong turned around and walked towards the tea shop beside the road. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and seemed to see Li Yuan. His face was slightly cold, but he still walked into the tea shop.

In the corner, a young man with a yellow face raised his hand to invite:

"Brother Qin!"

"Brother Yu!"

Qin Xiong stepped forward, and the nearby tea patrons retreated and did not dare to approach. The deterrent power of his body was more intuitive than that of a sword.

"Qin Xiong is really talented. If he hadn't entered the wrong school or learned the wrong martial arts, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your opponent."

Yu Zhen sighed in praise.

In this world, there are always some people who are unusual, who either learn things very quickly or are very physically strong. Qin Xiong belongs to the latter, with a strong back and a strong waist but good bones.

If he hadn't changed his martial arts midway, not to mention his internal strength, he would have at least been as good as him and had accomplished physical training.

"Qin is just inferior to his inner strength, how can he dare to compare with Brother Yu?"

Qin Xiong sat down, still very high, and the nearby tea drinkers had already left. Only the boss greeted him with a grimace and brought tea and cakes.

After a few pleasantries, Yu Zhen picked up the cup and said, "Brother Qin, do you know why Yu wants to stay in the forging shop?"

"this……"

Qin Xiong shook his head, with doubts in his heart.

Yu Zhen was an accomplished warrior in tempering his body, and he was much younger than Tang Tong. It was really puzzling for him to stay in the forging shop.

"To be honest, Yu came to Gaoliu to find a martial arts, a..."

Yu Zhen lowered his voice:

"A martial arts that is at least average, maybe even superior!"

Intermediate, superior martial arts?!

Qin Xiong subconsciously glanced around and his expression changed.

In the entire Gaoliu County, there is only half an intermediate level of martial arts, Tiger Roaring Sword, and an excellent level of martial arts, which I have never even heard of.

"Brother Yu, this is not the place for conversation."

Even though he knew that Yu Zhen might have ulterior motives, Qin Xiong was still excited. Not to mention superior, even just average martial arts was worth more than the entire forging shop!

"good!"

Yu Zhen smiled and nodded, but emotions were rolling in his heart.

He chased the murderer for thousands of miles, spent more than a year, and was even severely injured by Qiu Long, but in the end he only saw a corpse and a puddle of mud mixed with brains!

How could he be willing to do this?!

…

…

On the way home, Li Yuan heard sad music, coming from where the Chai and Yu gangs were.

"Something happened again?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled. It had been six or seven days since he came back. All the gang members and apprentices who died in Fajiu Mountain had already been buried.

He got closer and inquired about it, and was shocked. It was Liu Jin, the leader of the Chai Gang, who died?

"The leader of the gang, he will die if he says so."

Li Yuan's heart trembled slightly, but he didn't get close. After a few glances, he found that his second brother was also in the funeral procession and said hello from a distance.

I picked up my things and returned to the alley.

There were six or seven households living in the alley. After he rented the entire small courtyard, there were only two neighbors left, each renting a small courtyard.

"sister in law?"

Li Yuan pushed the door open and saw his sister-in-law Wang Juan washing clothes and not going to work.

"It was rainy the past few days, and there was some moisture in the house. It's sunny today, so I just wanted to dry it out. Are you going to come back?"

Wang Juan put down her work in a panic and stepped forward to take the things:

"Why do you buy so much? It's hot and you can't help but put things away. You kid, you can't take care of yourself after making some money, so you have to follow your second brother's lead and marry you a wife to take care of you!"

"Has anyone been here?"

Li Yuan noticed his sister-in-law's panic.

"Well, there's a scoundrel."

Wang Juan didn't want to say more and went to the corner with the chicken and duck.

Is it Qin Xiong?

Li Yuan frowned slightly. In the past six months, he had also figured out the relationship between Qin Xiong and his family.

When the Li family was still in ruins, there was a family of long-term workers. Qin Xiong was the eldest son of that family. He was admitted to the blacksmith's shop because of his outstanding talent, but he seemed to have other ideas about his sister-in-law...

Li Yuan's heart tightened slightly, but he did not press the question, but smiled:

"Sister-in-law, don't eat it when it's hot. I've done everything I can. It seems like a lot. Maybe it won't be enough for me!"

"You go and have a rest. Your second brother is going to attend a funeral today. I don't know when he will be back!"

Wang Juan quickly picked up the hens and put the chicken feathers in a pile to make a feather duster.

"okay."

Li Yuan didn't go up to cause trouble, and went up to the second floor carrying the baggage and the little field mouse.

The second floor is very spacious. After the two main families moved away, Li Yuan didn't buy any tables, chairs or furniture. There was only one bed in the house.

"For hammer practice, the place is a bit small, and the sound insulation is not enough. It will easily affect my brother and sister-in-law. Well, why don't we just rent the yard next to it?"

The wealthy Li Daoye put down his things, and the little field mouse chirped.

"I haven't eaten yet, just wait a moment!"

After tying the little field mouse to the leg of the bed, Li Yuan flipped his wrist and a long-handled training hammer appeared out of thin air.

The long-handled melon hammer was temporarily borrowed. After returning from Fajiu Mountain, the warehouse took it away.

"Compared to the long-handled melon hammer, it feels much worse. In a few days, I will walk the master's path. I have been coveting the weapons in the warehouse for a long time.

However, whether it is to collect different types of weapons or to advance to the level of weapons, you still need money..."

Li Yuan thought about his net worth and felt that he was too poor.

After paying back Fatty Sun, he only had a little over a hundred taels of silver in total, which was enough to buy medicine and maybe two weapons.

but……

"The third-level weapon requires a thousand catties of wrought iron, a hundred taels of silver, ten taels of gold, and one tael of red gold..."

Li Yuan's teeth were a little sore.

This is a lot of money.

Wrought iron is twenty times more expensive than pig iron, and ten taels of gold normally costs one hundred and twenty taels of silver, so that's it. What's really difficult is pure gold.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect and no gold is pure.

Red gold was not a currency in circulation at all, and he had only heard of it from his master Zhang Bi. When making the best weapons, some would often be added.

"Still poor..."

Life is not easy, Master Dao sighed.

After thinking wildly for a long time, Li Yuan stood up with the hammer in military posture.

In four days, relying on the powerful medicinal power of Baotai Yijin Pills, he mastered all the twenty-four variations of this superior pile skill in one fell swoop.

"Twenty-four positive, twenty-four negative, combined twenty-four, superior martial arts, really extraordinary."

There was a sound of friction between muscles and bones, and Li Yuan could feel the skin and flesh being continuously tightened, and the Blood Accumulating Pill in his abdomen was quickly digested.

"Keep going!"

For a whole afternoon, Li Yuan stood at the stand, repeatedly hitting the 24-style soldier posture several times, and drank half a bottle of Blood Accumulating Pill.

"call!"

"suck!"

Taking a long breath, Li Yuan was very tired and his energy and blood were exhausted. Just when he was about to stop, he felt something in his heart.

"Spring!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
