Chapter 3: Qinghe County
Three days later, Su Yi, dressed as a Confucian student, was sitting on the bumpy carriage and was closing his eyes to recuperate.
Beside him was a tattered booklet with the three big characters of [Innate Gong] written on it.
That day, I learned from Zhang Da's mouth that if a living person took the Soul Gathering Pill and was not killed immediately, he could not fall into the ghost path.
The Soul Gathering Pill will slowly devour the vitality of the living, turning into a human being who is not a human being, a ghost or a ghost.
Master Zhang also gave a way to save him, that is, to refine an elixir on the [White Bone Immortal Sutra], which can neutralize the medicinal power of the Soul Gathering Pill.
However, Master Zhang couldn't stay too far away from the colorless skeleton, and the matter of collecting medicinal materials fell on Su Yi's head.
Fortunately, the medicinal power of the Soul Gathering Pill was very mild, and it would take three years to completely devour Su Yi's vitality.
However, there are many types of medicinal materials for refining pills, and the alchemy furnace is also very expensive, so Su Yi may not be able to complete the task in three years.
Master Zhang simply told Su Yi where he hid the money, and at the same time told Su Yi where the secret book of the Zhang family's ancestral peerless [Innate Gong] was located.
After finding the one hundred taels of silver that Master Zhang had scavenged for many years, as well as the exercises hidden on the beams of his family's empty house, Su Yi went to Qinghe County to find a wealthy merchant named Li Yuanwai according to Lord Zhang's request.
The ancestral [innate skill] of the Zhang family is quite powerful, which can be seen from the fact that Master Zhang was seriously injured and dying, and he could still kill the short and thin man.
[Innate Gong] is divided into a total of 100 layers, and each time you practice one layer, your power will be doubled.
After training to the 100th floor, it is said that he can fight against thousands of troops with his own strength.
However, this exercise is quite time-consuming to cultivate, and the time required for cultivation is doubled with each level of cultivation.
The cultivation time of the first layer will take a year, and I don't know how long and what month I will have to cultivate when I have cultivated to the hundredth layer.
I don't know if it's because of taking the Soul Gathering Pill, but Su Yi's cultivation of this [Innate Skill] is quite easy.
Qinghe County is about hundreds of miles away from the county seat where Zhang Da's family is located, Su Yi can't ride a horse, so he had to hire a carriage, and the carriage stops and goes, and he has not yet arrived in Qinghe County for half a month.
In this small half a month, Su Yi has already practiced the first layer of [Innate Gong], and his internal strength has already had a certain foundation.
On this day, Su Yi was practicing in the carriage, and the coachman lifted the curtain and arched his hand: "Official, I have already arrived outside the gate of Qinghe County, and I am tired of paying the car money to the small one." ”
Taking out ten taels of silver from his bosom and taking his bags, Su Yi walked slowly to the city gate.
On the city gate, there are three big characters of "Qinghe County", and the iron painting silver hook is extraordinary.
The walls are made of unknown materials, and the entire body is a metallic black that sparkles in the sun.
The city wall is about three zhang high, extremely wide, and looks majestic and magnificent.
Early in the morning, there are countless businessmen lining up to go into the city to do business, it seems that this Qinghe County is very prosperous and rich.
As soon as he entered the city, Su Yi found many shops.
One of the medicinal herb shops called Hanging Pot Hall attracted Su Yi's attention.
Su Yi walked in slowly, and after a while, he walked out with a depressed face.
Before leaving, Master Zhang listed dozens of medicinal materials for him.
Su Yi casually inquired about one of them just now, and got an astronomical price.
After observing for half a month on the road, Su Yi found that this world was similar to the ancient Dragon Kingdom in his previous life.
Not only are they wearing similar costumes, but they are also wearing copper coins, silver ingots, gold ingots, silver tickets and other currencies.
After calculation, the purchasing power of this copper coin is equivalent to the purchasing power of a dollar in the previous life.
10,000 copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and one hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold.
On the list of medicinal materials listed by Master Zhang, a casual one would cost ten taels of gold, which made Su Yi, who was carrying a huge sum of more than ninety taels of silver, also dumbfounded.
It seems that the only way to do this is to ask the wealthy businessman Li Yuanwai for help according to what Master Zhang said.
At noon, Su Yi came to the front of a palatial mansion and handed a letter sealed in wax to the doorman.
The little girl was extremely reluctant, but after hearing that Su Yi was Master Zhang's junior brother, he scolded and walked into the door with the letter.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously dressed and with a big waist and a round waist walked out, with a smile on his face: "It turned out that Master Zhang's junior brother was here, and I didn't know what the name of this little hero was." ”
Su Yi said: "My surname is Su Mingyi, dare to ask Your Excellency is Li Yuanwai?" ”
Li Yuanwai smiled slightly and said, "It's down, let's go in and talk about it." ”
The two came to the lobby, and the maid served a cup of strong tea, and at the same time took some snacks and put them on the table.
"Senior brother asked me to come this time because I need help from outside." Su Yi said straight to the point.
Li Yuanwai sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the lobby, touched his beard and said, "I have read all your senior brother's letters, and the content of the letter is a trivial matter for Li."
"Su Shaoxia will eat tea first, and then we will discuss it carefully after eating."
Su Yi saw that Li Yuanwai agreed so happily, and he was immediately overjoyed, and there was no need to say the words that had been prepared.
It seems that the letter worked, but the credit wax was sealed, and Master Zhang did not let Su Yi read the contents of the letter.
After eating a few cups of tea, Su Yi became more and more sleepy, his upper and lower eyelids fought, and he almost fell asleep.
Suddenly, a stream rushed out of his dantian and rushed straight into the Baihui acupoint above his head, which shocked his spirit.
"Smack"
Su Yi slammed the teacup on the ground, looked at Li Yuanwai coldly, and shouted, "Why are you drugged in the tea?" ”
When Li Yuanwai heard this, he shouted: "The bold flower thief, dare to throw himself into the net, Master Zhang has written in the letter that you are the flower thief who picked dozens of yellow flower girls in the nearby prefecture and county a few days ago, and today I will send you to the government and let the official master deal with you." ”
Dozens of family members armed with sticks rushed in and hit Su Yi on the head.
Su Yi had countless questions in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on, but in the current situation, it was better to go.
Su Yi's [Innate Skill] already had a certain amount of heat, otherwise it would be impossible to wake up from the medicinal power of the drug.
I saw that his steps changed, and after a few brisk steps, he dodged the stick of the family, and at the same time lifted a chair and smashed it into Li Yuanwai.
"The little brother is not a flower thief, there must be some misunderstanding in this, but before the matter is revealed, I will accompany him."
Su Yi didn't look back and rushed out the door.
With a click, Li Yuanwai, who was full of fat brains, stretched out a pair of fat hands and smashed the chair that Su Yi smashed over.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanwai, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, actually had good martial arts, which surprised Su Yi.
But he just wanted to escape at the moment, and he had no intention of making a diplomatic deal with Li Yuan.
At the moment when he rushed out of the door, Li Yuanwai made a ghostly detour behind Su Yi and slapped him lightly on the back of the heart.
Su Yi turned his head violently, and slapped Li Yuanwai with his right hand.
The two palms intersected, and Su Yi only felt a powerful force coming from his palm, which made his muscles and bones crack, and his brain was buzzing.
But he also used the power of this palm to float several feet away.
Li Yuanwai stood in place and did not catch up, still with a faint smile on his face.
At the moment when Su Yi was about to escape from the Li Mansion, a large net fell from the top of his head.
Su Yi couldn't dodge and was covered by a big net.
I don't know what kind of material this big net is made of, and the more Su Yi struggles, the tighter the big net becomes.
Slowly, Su Yi gave up struggling, and just looked at Li Yuanwai not far away.
"Haha, the old man has good luck today, he caught a big fish, come on, drag this kid in for me."
