The oppressive cloudy day lasted for three days, and there was not a drop of water coming down.

Experienced fishermen know that a huge thunderstorm is about to brew, and even a typhoon is possible.

All the boats in Longyu Village are locked in a small harbor with cliffs on three sides, and the boats are connected to the boats, firmly fastened with hemp rope and iron cables, and guarded by a small detachment of elite fishing teams.

Li Baye has been cultivating silently at home for the past few days, and in order to cope with the upcoming storm, he has hidden a large number of ingredients and medicinal herbs in the cellar and has been preparing to stay at home for a while.

Outside the window, the wind is howling, the dark thunder is surging, look at this battle, it should be down today.

Inside the house, the mist was thick, the smell of medicine was fragrant, and Li Baye was comfortably soaked in a large wooden barrel, under which was a furnace made of steel melting, and the red-hot charcoal inside was flashing with a red light.

The medicated bath barrel custom-made from Surabaya City finally arrived today, and Li Baye experienced the medicinal bath of this world for the first time, which is not a cool word.

The bath barrel is paved with hundreds of various medicinal materials, including familiar various flower petals, Chinese herbal medicines, and unfamiliar various hay plants and animal heart, lung, skin and bones.

Martial artists practice martial arts, and they consume huge amounts of energy all the time, especially when fighting, the consumption is even greater, so the more high-level martial artists, the easier it is to get hungry. Unless, you can return to the innate day after tomorrow, then the spirit of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, can supplement your body's energy needs.

The method of ordinary martial artists to replenish energy for the body is nothing more than eating, and most of the ingredients have more stale things, and less energy, and the amount of food eaten at a time is extremely limited, so generally speaking, martial artists will eat more than five times a day, and the amount of food at a time is far beyond ordinary people.

This method is not only inefficient, but also complicated and troublesome, and the more you eat, the more you will naturally pull, which will be embarrassing if you catch up with the time when you want to have diarrhea, and the enemy kills you.

Therefore, in order to find a better way to absorb energy, for thousands of years, countless people and geniuses have invented the art of alchemy, removing its dross, taking its essence, gathering the energy essence into a small pill, and carrying it with you, which undoubtedly greatly improves the efficiency of the daily energy absorption of the martial artist, but this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost is extremely high, which is not something that ordinary martial artists can enjoy.

Then, slowly there is the saying of medicinal baths, and the second best thing is to mix all kinds of essence herbs together through the formula, fuse and catalyze each other, and use the method of thermal fumigation to introduce the medicinal power into the human body, although it is not as convenient as taking the pill directly, but the advantage is that the medicinal power is sufficient, and a medicinal bath can catch up with several days of full eating.

According to the physique of different people, some warriors can boil their bodies with medicinal baths every day, but some cannot withstand high-frequency medicinal baths, which is wasteful and hurts.

Ordinary martial artists who have just entered the martial arts, once a week in the medicinal bath, it is good, with cultivation and daily eating, such a year of penance, almost as much as others for two years!

That's the gap!

And the medicated bath not only needs to have a medicated bath recipe and a large number of sufficient medicinal materials, but also a special bath barrel!

The three are indispensable, the medicated bath barrel is not an ordinary bath barrel, there are some mechanisms and thermostats in it, but it is not something that ordinary people can create, in the entire Surabaya Mansion, only the capital city of Surabaya has such a Mo master, Li Baye's medicated bath barrel was customized from there, and it cost three hundred taels of silver!

And the cost of his medicinal bath materials this time is at least a dozen taels, and with the improvement of the realm in the future, the medicinal bath materials will become more and more rare and more expensive, not that the local tyrants can't afford to play at all!

Even Li Baye's current worth, he doesn't dare to play often, after all, he doesn't have a stable way to make money now, a few thousand taels of silver seems to be a lot, but spend a little less, if you take a medicinal bath every day, I'm afraid you will go bankrupt in less than a year.

There is no doubt that his medicated bath bucket is definitely the first and only one in Longyu Village, even if you look at the entire territory of Qingfeng Town, those who can buy private medicated bath buckets must be wealthy and extremely rich, and there are not many in the whole town.

Li Baye's arrogance once again refreshed the villagers' perception of him, maybe there was really a high-level martial artist standing behind him, otherwise he couldn't explain that he was a fool who opened his mind in a short period of time and had such an amazing wealth.

And no matter how the villagers commented, Li Baye still should do what to do, in the past few days, some fishermen have joined the fishing alliance one after another, the top 20 on the 3rd day have prizes, today is the 4th day, only the top 10 have prizes, and there will be no rewards for joining the alliance later.

But after the 10 places were grabbed today, Li Baye did not suspend his membership in the alliance as before, but continued to open up for recruitment, and as a result, there were still thirty-five people who signed the alliance on the spot, maybe they came for the later repair of the Li house, or just to have a good time, or for other reasons.

In any case, Li Baye's goal has been achieved, and the alliance of fishermen with 145 fishermen has formed a force to be reckoned with.

He even noticed that a considerable number of the elite of the fishing team also came to join the fishing alliance, because joining the alliance did not conflict with their fishing team responsibilities at all, Li Baye did not ask them to do anything, but gave them money, under the herd mentality, there are only a few people who can still insist on watching from the sidelines.

Anyway, the old fisherman Chen Danian was persuaded by Li Baye to join the Fisherman Alliance as early as the third day, and even his eldest son and two younger sons who did not meet the age requirements were also specially recruited into the alliance.

The reward of 20 copper coins per person, according to the capitation, the old Chen family got 80 coins, which is enough to catch up with the income of their adventure to go to sea for several days.

In addition, in order to show his previous kindness, Li Baye specially sent a complete set of brand-new fishing gear to the old Chen family, as well as a big buffalo and six little piglets, and overnight, the old Chen family became a big household in Longyu Village.

In addition to the Chen family, all the families who used to take care of Ba Jiaozi in the past have been more or less favored by Li Baye, and Widow Zhang's family is no exception.

For the first woman he came to this world, Li Baye was of course not stingy, in addition to the silk and satin, textile machines and other objects of home life on the surface, he also secretly stuffed her with a brocade box.

There were all kinds of jewelry inside, the gold was shaking, it was almost blinding, when did a country woman in a fishing village in Xia Yuhe see these treasures, that shock and joy, not to mention, if it weren't for Li Baye's cough twice as a reminder, I am afraid that she would faint happily on the spot.

Of course, after giving away these jewelry, he didn't forget to remind her not to show it in front of people, just afraid that someone with a heart would make a fuss.

Li Baye didn't want to hold this lovely person in his arms and desperately pity, you must know that the passionate spring of that night was turning over and over in his mind every night, after all, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy, it was the age of hormonal restlessness, even if his consciousness could be suppressed, but his body was very real, so during this time, he also endured very hard.

But there is no way, in this situation, Jia Sanpao, who is eyeing him, the mysterious old village chief, and Hong Ye from Qingfeng Town, his three subordinates died in Longyu Village for no reason, and they will never give up, although he has sunk Liu Maocai's body into Qianxun Bay, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no rumors to his ears, and then he has doubts about himself.

In the eyes of these big shots, just a little suspicion is enough to be a reason to make a move, and he is so high-profile now, he can't be noticed if he wants to!

It's a big head to think about, now is never the time to be willful, everything takes time.
