Chapter 140: Troubled Times

Jiang Cheng continued to follow Zuo Wenbin's steps and walked inside, bypassing the picture scroll in front of him, and his vision suddenly opened up.

I saw a gilded Taishi chair sitting like a tower-like figure.

This person is Xi Jingshan, with no hair on his head, broad shoulders, and a thick neck.

The snow-white beard hung down to his chest, and his eyebrows were thick, revealing his eyes that sparkled with a fierce light.

The biggest highlight was that his skin was close to bronze, shimmering with a metallic luster, brighter than a walnut with oil.

Jiang Cheng walked very slowly, taking the opportunity to observe the depth of Xi Jingshan's strength.

He couldn't even sense the slightest power of qi and blood from this person's body, and the other party sat there like an old man who was about to die.

Could this be a certain realm of martial arts, back to basics?

Jiang Cheng was a little puzzled, although he couldn't feel the fluctuation of qi and blood, the momentum on the other party's body was very terrifying, and this momentum was very similar to Song Zhiyong, who led the team when he went to the cave to do a mission.

Listening to the senior brothers of the martial arts hall, this Xi Jingshan should be a martial artist in the early stage of the third grade, and his strength should be in the middle of the pinnacle.

Senior brother Zuo Wenbin stood beside Xi Jingshan with a straight face, and on the other side stood an acquaintance, who was Liang Feifei, who he had not seen before.

Liang Feifei saw Jiang Cheng striding over, and his face was a little surprised.

And Xi Jingshan was sipping tea slowly, and waited for Jiang Cheng to stand for a long time before he spoke: "You are Jiang Cheng?" ”

"Exactly."

"Well, that's good, although poison is used, it can be imported in more than a month, and it is considered a bit of talent."

Xi Jingshan sighed, he was still a little happy when he heard that there was a new disciple entering the product, but he didn't expect it to be a short-lived ghost.

"How are you in health now, I see that you are full of qi and blood, and you don't look terminally ill."

"Master Hui, the disciple is born with a certain immunity to poison, so this poison does me not very harmful, and if I only take a few doses, I should be able to withstand it."

Jiang Cheng arched his hand, choosing to reveal some of his ability to immunize toxins, otherwise drinking poison every day would be like no one, and sooner or later it would arouse suspicion.

"Oh? It turned out to be a special physique, so that's the case, then you're very lucky. ”

Xi Jingshan touched his beard and nodded, thinking that it was true, otherwise how could a normal person be so stupid.

Jiang Cheng's words dispelled Xi Jingshan's doubts, but Liang Feifei on the side flashed a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, Jiang Cheng, from now on, you will be my official disciple of Xi Jingshan."

"I don't know if you plan to continue cultivating in the martial arts hall, or do you plan to go home and make plans?"

"The disciple has been away from home for several months, and I want to go home first to see ........"

Jiang Cheng pretended to be homesick on his face.

"That's fine."

Xi Jingshan nodded, he didn't plan to force Jiangcheng to stay, after all, he was a medicine jar, even if he could live for a long time, his future achievements would be limited.

"This is the second-grade part of our martial arts hall exercises, you take it to practice well, don't lose my face outside."

After Xi Jingshan finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his arms.

"Disciple, thank you, Master!"

Jiang Cheng walked forward and stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't know that this Xi Jingshan pinched the exercises and didn't let go.

This old immortal is really a virtue with Zuo Wenbin.

Jiang Cheng naturally knew what the other party meant, and took out a few taels of silver from his arms and held them in the palm of his hand, "Master, this is a little thank you gift from the apprentice, it is not a respect, and I ask the master to accept it." ”

"Okay, okay, they're all official disciples, what's polite."

Xi Jingshan laughed, stretched out his hand and grabbed the broken silver in his hand, and then put the exercise in Jiang Cheng's hand.

Jiang Cheng still had a smile on his face, but in his heart, he blacklisted the other party.

When I have a chance in the future, I will definitely recover some interest from the good guy in Heze.

This Xi Jingshan must feel that he has no future, so he will think about squeezing out his last value.

After receiving the cheats, Jiang Cheng said a few more polite words to Xi Jingshan, and after listening to the other party's guidance on some matters that need to be paid attention to in cultivation, he gave up his hand and left.

.........

After walking out of the Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion, Jiang Cheng did not leave the city immediately, but returned to the tavern.

He wanted to try to see if the Five Poisons Soul Snatching Soup had any effect.

After instructing the men in the tavern to help boil it, Jiang Cheng sat on the bed and looked at the barbaric second-grade cultivation exercises.

With this exercise, proficiency can continue to increase.

After keeping the essentials of movement and force in mind, Jiang Cheng began a new round of cultivation.

After about half an hour of practice, Jiang Cheng was already sweating, and the muscles on his body began to ache.

At this moment, the guy in the store also brought the medicinal soup.

"Guest officer, your medicine is ready."

"Thank you."

Jiang Cheng took the medicine bowl, waited until the temperature was a little cooler, and drank it directly.

"It's bitter!"

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, a little nostalgic for the taste of the broken mirror props.

This five-poison soul-snatching soup has a bitter taste in the mouth, as if it is stuffed with coptis in the mouth.

As the medicinal soup entered his abdomen, Jiang Cheng felt a spicy hot current rushing in instantly.

The next moment, the blood in his body began to erect, and heat began to rise on Jiang Cheng's body.

The sweat that flowed out when he had just cultivated the Brute Bull Jin was also evaporated.

"Although the medicinal power is not as good as the ordinary Qi and Blood Pill, it is not much worse, and we have to find a way to get the prescription."

Jiang Cheng secretly said in his heart, and then put on a brute starting style and began to continue cultivating.

After about a stick of incense, Jiang Cheng slowly called it a day and opened the attribute panel.

[Exercises]: Ethereal swordsmanship (10/1000), Bull Strength (12/1000)

"What a speed!"

Jiang Cheng's face was overjoyed, and with the Five Poisons Soul Snatching Soup, Jiang Cheng only practiced six times, and his proficiency increased by 12 points, and his speed doubled.

"In this way, a breakthrough to the second grade is just around the corner."

Jiang Cheng was moving his body when he saw a fly buzzing in through the window and landing on the edge of the bowl.

It seemed that the smell of the medicinal soup attracted the fly, which reached out and licked the bottom of the bowl with its mouthparts.

After a while, the fly flapped its wings a few times, and then fell straight down.

The effect of this medicine is good, but the toxicity is not small, except for Jiang Cheng, it is estimated that there are few people who can use these five poisons in a row.

Putting the personal belongings in the tavern into the space ring, Jiang Cheng got up and left the store.

It was still early, and Jiang Cheng planned to take a walk around Taibai City before leaving.

However, Jiang Cheng, who was wandering on the street, found that there were a lot of people in the city today, and they were all in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry.

Many people are competing for grain, rice, and official salt, and the price of these things has basically doubled.

Jiang Cheng was a little puzzled, and directly dragged a passer-by who was in a hurry, "Uncle, what's going on in the city today, so many people?" ”

The old man who was hurrying was dragged by Jiang Cheng, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but the other party's strength was very great, and it seemed that he was still a martial arts practitioner.

"Oh, Housheng, don't you know? The soldiers of Pingyang Kingdom are about to arrive, and everyone is busy fleeing! ”

"Fleeing? Shouldn't it be safe to have military shelter in the city? ”
