Chapter 8: The Hall of Blood Shadows
"Brother Wang is interested in joining the sect?"
Just as Wang Hong was contemplating and thinking, Xue Ning had already walked to sit down opposite him, smiled and asked him in a low voice.
Wang Hong didn't mean to hide it, nodded and said:
"Although you are free and easy not to join the sect, you will encounter difficulties when cultivating, and no one will be able to guide you."
Xue Ning thought for a while and suddenly asked: "That day in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, Brother Wang's weapons, armor, eating and drinking were all extraordinary, I think it should be a lot of family resources?" ”
Wang Hong, who was drinking, almost choked, how could he directly ask others if their wallets were bulging?
Not to mention that the two have only known each other for a long time, even if it is between brothers, it is not suitable to ask more.
Wang Hong put down the wine glass, smiled and said, "It's okay, what is Miss Xue asking for?" ”
Xue Ning also quickly noticed that something was wrong, stuck out his tongue, and said with a smile:
"Brother Wang, don't get me wrong, I see that Brother Wang is not young, even if most of the sects can enter, they can only mess around in the outer door, which is really not very interesting."
"There is only one side of the force that is more special, maybe Brother Wang can consider it."
At this time, the two of them were sitting in the corner, and there were no other guests around, so Wang Hong asked:
"Miss Xue, can you elaborate on it?"
As far as he knew, it was quite difficult for the outer sects of each faction to enter the inner gate, and it was difficult to change their status unless they made great achievements, or their personal strength reached the level of the elders in the sect.
Xue Ning nodded and said: "The largest sect in Yunzhou is naturally the Sanquan Sect, but there is still a force that is not under the Sanquan Sect, but their manpower is scattered throughout the Tiannan Kingdom, and most of them ignore the internal affairs of Yunzhou, so they have no reputation in Yunzhou." ”
Wang Hong asked with some surprise: "Oh, there are still such forces?" ”
According to Xue Ning, the headquarters of this force should be in Yunzhou.
But the other party doesn't manage the nest well, but scatters people outside, could it be a chamber of commerce organization?
"This force is called the Blood Shadow Hall, and it is one of the top assassin organizations in the Tiannan Kingdom."
"But because almost all the assassins in the hall are natives of Yunzhou, they don't accept the assassination mission in Yunzhou."
"Therefore, most of the ordinary martial artists in Yunzhou have never heard of the Blood Shadow Hall." Xue Ning patiently explained.
After listening to the other party, Wang Hong was quite puzzled and asked, "Could it be that Miss Xue asked me to join the Blood Shadow Hall?" ”
Most of the Assassin Organizations were notorious, and Wang Hong naturally didn't want to fall into such a quagmire.
Xue Ning replied softly, "Although the Blood Shadow Hall is an assassin organization, it has a pretty good reputation. ”
"As long as you give enough money, even if it is a helpless woman and child, they will get things done as agreed."
"At the same time, the Blood Shadow Hall also takes on other tasks, such as protection, finding objects, intelligence, etc., and even the identities of the disciples in the hall are clearly marked."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough strength, as long as you give enough money, you can learn all kinds of exercises in the hall and get the guidance of many elite assassins......"
Wang Hong listened to Xue Ning's continuous introduction to the Blood Shadow Hall, and the whole person was a little confused.
Is the leader of the Blood Shadow Hall crazy for money? Aren't you afraid of being approached by the enemy and collapsing the Blood Shadow Hall from the inside?
"The Blood Shadow Hall has accumulated wealth like this, and it has not been besieged and divided by all parties?"
Xue Ning shook his head and said, "Xue Yiren, the hall master of the Blood Shadow Hall, is one of the top ten grandmasters in Tiannan, and he is still a well-known madman, and he is practicing self-harm explosion exercises, and no one wants to take the initiative to provoke him. ”
Wang Hong thought for a while, and felt that it was a little strange for Xue Ning to kindly recommend such an organization, and there were some vague guesses in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, and finally said to her with a smile.
"Thank you Miss Xue for your advice, I still need to think about the sect for a while. But I have recently cultivated the iron cloth shirt, and I want to ask some questions, I don't know if it's convenient? ”
Xue Ning didn't have any different colors when he heard this, but said without hesitation:
"Although the iron cloth shirt is a common martial art in the rivers and lakes, it is really good if it is used to forge the body, if there is anything that Brother Wang doesn't understand, we can discuss it."
……
After Xue Ning's guidance, Wang Hong knew that the medicinal bath formula in the cheats, even if it was the best one, was still a big deal.
The early effect of this medicinal bath is very good, but after a long time, it will develop serious drug resistance.
It is for this reason that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes use iron cloth shirts to forge their bodies, and it is quite difficult to become Dacheng.
Some of the families who take the hard gong route, and some young people will choose iron cloth shirts to forge their bodies.
But in addition to using the best set in the cheats, these people also have their own medicinal bath recipes to use in rotation.
Xue Ning's master has several sets of medicinal bath recipes for iron cloth shirts, but because her body forging exercises are not iron cloth shirts, most of the formulas have not been deliberately paid attention to.
But the most expensive set, Xue Ning flipped through it because of curiosity and wrote it down.
Probably out of the mentality of repaying his gratitude, Xue Ning gave the formula to Wang Hong, although he repeatedly told him not to leak it, but he also made him quite grateful.
Back at the inn, Wang Hong took a closer look at the medicinal bath recipe and immediately gasped.
No wonder Xue Ning said that with this set of formulas, as long as the cultivator's talent is acceptable, and he cultivates on time every day, he can almost achieve success within a year.
A few people with outstanding talents, with this set of medicinal bath recipes, can even complete the forging in a month or two.
Then the true qi was born from the outside in, omitting the process of turning the fake into the real and condensing the true qi, and stepping into the acquired period in one step!
However, the price of such an anti-heaven effect is also quite expensive, and the elixir needed for a medicinal bath is actually worth nearly a thousand taels of silver!
Even if it is reduced to once every ten years, more than 30,000 taels of silver in a year can make the county-level family sect fall into financial difficulties.
"Money is a bastard, spend it and earn it!"
Wang Hong scolded secretly, and then got up and walked towards the pharmacy in Ping'an Town, the remaining silver tickets on his body were enough to buy a pair to try the effect first.
The owner of the pharmacy, Ping Yiluo, is the best doctor in the entire Menglin County.
Because Ping'an Town is close to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, not only can you receive a large number of medicinal materials, but also many injured people who have returned from the forest, so this slightly chaotic town has become a good place for doctors to treat diseases and save people and make money.
Therefore, Ping Yiluo gave up the comfortable county town of Menglin and came to Ping'an Town to open a pharmacy.
"If you want these medicinal herbs, aren't you preparing to forge your body? Take the formula to the old man to see, don't have a big problem with the practice, and then you want to heal it, it's not a matter of three or five years! ”
When Dr. Ping heard Wang Hong report the names of several medicinal materials, a fine light suddenly flashed in Mung Dou's big eyes, and his usual rigid and indifferent face showed a trace of concern.
However, Wang Hong is not a fool, since he promised Xue Ning that the formula would not be leaked, at least in this world, he will never tell others.
Besides, he and Xue Ning have no conflict of interest, even if the other party has no intention of repaying the favor, it will not harm him.
So for Ping Yiluo's words, Wang Hong didn't believe a word at all.
A total of twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials are needed in the formula, and on the way to the pharmacy, Wang Hong has already bought more than thirty kinds separately, just to prevent someone from secretly piecing them together.
Among the two most expensive elixirs, Wang Hong didn't dare to buy them at those medicine stalls.
There are many people in those places, and the quality is difficult to guarantee, so there is no need to take risks for the sake of greed.
And Pingyiluo's pharmacy, although the asking price is more expensive than the outside, but the transaction is relatively hidden.
Besides, the reputation that the other party has accumulated for more than ten years is not worth losing for a few hundred taels of silver.
But Wang Hong didn't expect that Ping Yiluo was actually interested in his medicinal bath formula, and immediately said with a smile:
"Dr. Ping misunderstood, I was buying medicine for others, where do I know what formula."
Ping Yiluo has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, how could a fledgling young man like Wang Hong deceive him?
Take a few hundred taels of silver to buy medicine for others? Who to fool?
However, Ping Yiluo also saw Wang Hong's attitude, so he didn't ask him again.
Without saying a word, he took out two elixirs from the medicine cabinet, and drove Wang Hong out of the pharmacy after the money and goods were gone.
In order to prevent Ping Yiluo from pitting him, Wang Hong went to the grain store owner again and asked him to help identify it, and after confirming that the elixir was fine, he returned to the inn.
"It's also that I'm too worried, although Ping Yiluo is very similar to the name of a famous murderer, but it's not him after all, so he shouldn't be so careful."
Wang Hong thought to himself while packing up the things he had just bought, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled, feeling that he had been a little too sensitive and suspicious recently.
At this time, there was still more than half an hour before the end of the cooldown, and out of boredom, Wang Hong took out a few books he had just bought and looked through them carefully.
These books are not martial arts cheats, but a general introduction to the famous people and customs of various countries in the world.
Although the price of the book is not cheap, for him, the stowaway, the money really has to be spent.
Besides, it is impossible for Wang Hong to stay in the small place of Ping'an Town all the time, whether it is to go to the Blood Shadow Hall or other plans in the next step, he needs enough information.
Wang Hong read these books very carefully, and the introduction in the books was also quite interesting, and half an hour passed before he knew it.
Wang Hong was not in a hurry to return to Earth Star immediately, but was ready to finish reading the book in his hand before leaving.
Just when he was watching with relish, he suddenly felt that his brain was groggy and sleepy, and he especially wanted to fall on the bed next to him and sleep with him.
"Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden?" Wang Hong raised his hand and knocked on his head, muttering to himself.
Just when he was getting more and more sleepy, he was suddenly blown to the back of his head by a cool breeze, and the thick sleepiness suddenly dissipated a little, and his head was also a lot clearer.
When I turned around, I saw that the window in the corner of the house had been pushed open a little from the outside at some point.
And the cool breeze just now poured in from that finger-wide gap.
Although I didn't see anything unusual in the window, an ominous premonition came over me.
Wang Hong, who was getting more and more sleepy, strengthened his spirit, picked up the medicinal materials and books at hand, quickly used the cooled portal, and his figure disappeared into the guest room in an instant.
Wang Hong, who returned to Dixing, could no longer control his sleepiness, and fell asleep in a no-man's corner in the suburbs.
This sleep from more than three o'clock in the middle of the night to five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Hong got up from the grass in a daze.
Because he was in too much hurry, he was still wearing an antique power suit at this time.
However, after lying on the ground for more than ten hours, the black clothes and pants were already dirty and messy, and the whole person looked quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, the location he chose when he crossed was quite remote, and no one had passed by for such a long time, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble he would have caused.
After a while, Wang Hong walked towards the main road, ignoring the strange eyes of passers-by, stopped a passing taxi, reported the location of the hotel, and sat in the back row to close his eyes and recuperate.
It was only then that he reluctantly straightened out what he had experienced.
Someone plotted against you!
Fortunately, the person who plotted against him only used some kind of hypnotic smoke, and if he really had a life-threatening poison, even if he could return to the Earth Star, whether he could survive in the end was two words.
