The first time he practiced the Tiger and Leopard Bone Cultivation Technique, Wu Yuan only consumed fifteen lower-grade quenching pills.

But as his strength increased by leaps and bounds, his consumption naturally became bigger and bigger, like the cultivation that had just ended, Wu Yuan had consumed fifty-five Quenching Pills.

More than three months.

Wu Yuan went to the Qunxing Tower four times in succession, and successively purchased more than 2,000 lower-grade quenching pills, even if he changed his body shape through the 'Yi Bone' every time, he was obviously still targeted.

In this regard, Wu Yuan is not surprised, if he is the head of the Star Building, I am afraid that he will also be wary and curious.

In Wu Yuan's hand, there were less than a hundred Quenching Pills, and if he cultivated three more times, he would have to run out of food.

"Besides, even if there are more Quenching Pills, the effect will become weaker and weaker." Wu Yuan frowned slightly: "We must find a higher-grade pill as soon as possible." ”

The Quenching Pill is only the most basic auxiliary pill, and the so-called good medicinal effect is only for low-level martial artists.

And like Wu Yuan now, his physical fitness is extremely amazing, although he is still in the stage of 'training', his pure strength is close to that of a fifth-grade martial artist.

The energy contained in the Quenching Pill is already a little weak, and it is not enough for its growth.

"However, even if a higher-grade pill is found, the silver is a little insufficient." Wu Yuan said secretly: "In a short period of time, it is not good to ask the patriarch for help. ”

For more than three months, without waiting for Wu Yuan to speak, the patriarch Wu Qiming had already taken the initiative to come to the door and gave Wu Yuan 'two thousand taels of silver'.

One thousand taels of them were given on behalf of the family.

The other 1,000 taels is part of what Wu Qiming reserved for Wu Yuan from the last '5,000 taels'.

Call!

Wu Yuan cleaned up all traces with a light car, his figure was unpredictable, and he quickly returned to his house.

"Home." Wu Yuan's gaze swept across his yard.

Although it was still dark and the sky was still not bright, in Wu Yuan's eyes, it was not much different from day.

The courtyard wall was renovated, a layer of blue bricks were attached, and the courtyard gate and internal houses were renovated, which was far better than when Wu Yuan first woke up.

It's all the work of the clans.

"My mother's health has also improved a lot." Wu Yuan secretly said that two months ago, without waiting for Wu Yuan to find a way by himself, the family found a way to invite the 'Dan Master' who left the city to see a doctor for his mother Wan Qin.

relieved Wu Yuan's worries.

"The pressure on the patriarch is also very great, the Wu family is not a big family, and there are many places to spend money, and it is not small to invite Danshi to spend money." Wu Yuan said secretly: "The matter of silver money, I will no longer trouble the patriarch." ”

Wu Yuan knew that what he needed for his next cultivation would be some high-grade pills and many special treasures.

The cost is so great that the Wu clan can definitely afford it.

"My strength has initially recovered, but it is not as good as when I was at the peak of my previous life, like the 'realm of rigidity and softness', it took several months, and I can only be regarded as getting started again." Wu Yuan jumped into the house lightly: "However, looking at leaving the city, there are few people who can make me afraid. ”

"Looking at the entire Middle-earth world, I'm afraid it's a second-rate master."

Liupin is a martial artist.

The fifth-grade martial artist is also known as the 'third-rate master', the fourth-rank martial artist is also known as the 'second-rate master', and the third-rank martial artist is also known as the 'first-class master'.

Wu Yuan's pure physical fitness is still close to a third-rate master, but his amazing martial arts skills can greatly make up for the gap in physical strength.

……

When Wu Yuan returned to his yard and lay down before his mother woke up, the lights of the 'Wu family's ancestral house', which was only a mile away, were not extinguished all night.

Inside the Council Chamber.

"Patriarch, there's really no way, we've made up everything we should make, but we can move out at most five thousand five hundred taels, and there is still a difference of one thousand five hundred taels." In front of the gray-bearded bookkeeper, there were stacks of ledgers: "The family treasury is completely empty. ”

"Fifteen hundred taels?" Patriarch Wu Qiming's eyes drooped, as if he was thinking.

"The Fierce Tiger Gang's group of miscellaneous people, the asking price is too ruthless, it costs a full eight thousand taels, in the past, we only had to pay three thousand taels every year, this is forcing us to death!" The burly man in linen on the side gritted his teeth and said, "Patriarch, otherwise, we won't hand it over." ”

"Don't pay?"

Another elegant middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The Fierce Tiger Gang, one of the five major gangs in the city, has murderous methods, and within the scope of their activities, even the Luo clan and other big clans will pay some money appropriately according to the size of the business, rather than directly conflict with it. ”

"Compared with the Fierce Tiger Gang, my Wu clan is too weak, and if I fight directly, I am looking for death."

"No matter how ferocious it is, it's also outside the city, we are inside the city, can it be that the Fierce Tiger Gang still dares to storm the city?" The Mai man glared.

"Storming the city? The Tigers aren't that stupid. Another black-robed young man shook his head and said, "The territory of the sect is vast, and the manpower is limited, so it can only manage the county town and control the county seat, and there are many Zhuangzi and townships under it, which are powerless. ”

"That's where these little gangs live."

"Dare to rush to the city, that is, to challenge the majesty of the sect, which will lead to the 'Southern Dream Army' to suppress it."

Everyone in Middle-earth practices martial arts, and they have a sharp weapon in their hearts.

Therefore, if you want to control it to the lowest level, the cost is too great, and the Hengyun Sect has no intention of this, so it can only control the general situation in the territory and decentralize a lot of power.

As long as these small gangs don't expand too much, the sect will not exterminate them.

"If Kebuzhuang wants to operate, it is impossible to be confined to the city, we have to go to the countryside to collect silkworms in various villages and towns, and we can't avoid the Fierce Tiger Gang." Another black-robed young man said calmly: "And if there is a conflict, I'm afraid that the two Zhuangzi of my Wu clan outside the city will not be able to be saved." ”

Running a cloth village is a very complicated matter.

If the business wants to be bigger, silk, cotton and linen must be purchased, but you also have to produce some raw materials, otherwise the overall cost will be too high.

All of this will inevitably involve outside the city.

"But the Fierce Tiger Gang is too ruthless." The big man in Mai gritted his teeth and said: "We are a cloth village, not a money village, this year we are asked for an extra five thousand taels, how much silver can my Wu family earn in a year?" ”

"It's going to drive us to our death!" Mai's eyes were red.

"Dongyao." Patriarch Wu Qiming suddenly said, "Have you found out?" Who is behind this Fierce Tiger Gang? ”

"I don't know, this Fierce Tiger Gang has risen very quickly, and the gang leader and several elders in the gang seem to be foreigners." The elegant middle-aged man said: "Relying on us, it is difficult to find out their background in a short time." ”

"It's nothing more than the county guard, the town guard general, and the county guard." The Mai man snorted coldly.

"Be careful." Wu Qiming frowned.

However, several people present knew that if it was just a small gang of dozens or hundreds of people, they might not have any background.

But it seems that the Fierce Tiger Gang has grown to thousands of gangs, and the whole city has left the city, if you want to say that there is no acquiescence from the big people in the background, who will believe it?

With 3,000 town defenders, it was easy to break up a large gang of tens of thousands of people.

600 town defenders, and it is just the norm to defeat 100,000 homeless people in a war.

The so-called 'big gang leaders' seem to be majestic, but most of them are just tools used by big people to collect money and do dirty work.

"Patriarch, why don't you ask Brother Yuan if he has a lot of silver in his hand?" The bookkeeper couldn't help but say, "When the clan is rich, it's not too late to give it to Brother Yuan." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Wu Qiming.

"No way!"

Wu Qiming shook his head and said: "In this way, the clan's treasury can't be left without a penny, prepare five thousand taels of silver, divide it into two parts, and I will personally go to the Fierce Tiger Gang." ”

……

Time passed.

On this day, Wu Yuan came to the Martial Academy to practice as usual, as the fourth in the last 'Martial Academy Competition', he did not participate in several small competitions this year, but the latest batch of elite disciples, who dares to say that they can win him?

In the city, Wu Yuan is already a well-known 'genius'.

Dean Zhang Da personally ordered that his cultivation room be specially provided for him, and he would take it back after the martial arts competition next year.

It was just after noon.

"Wu Yuan." His personal teacher, 'Huan Xinyan', appeared outside the cultivation room and said coldly: "Your clan has come to look for you, it seems that there is something very important, and they are waiting for you outside the martial arts academy. ”

"Clansmen?" Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you Master Huan, I'll go now." ”

Wu Yuan had some doubts in his heart.

In the past few years of cultivation in the Martial Academy, except for the patriarch and his mother, no patriarch has ever come to the Martial Academy to find him.

Quickly came to the gate of the martial arts.

At a glance.

Wu Yuan saw a few people at the door, an elegant middle-aged man who was anxious and out of breath, who seemed to be in a hurry.

"Uncle Dongyao." Wu Yuan strode up to meet him.

Wu Dongyao, one of the only three 'talents' in the Wu clan in the city, is famous for his resourcefulness and has a high status in the Wu clan.

"Wu Yuan, now, only you can save the patriarch." Wu Dongyao hurriedly said.
