Beiyin Great Sage

Name: Zhou Jia

Cultivation level: Fifth-level mortal level Yijin (937/4000)

Source Star: Earth Fierce Star (Trait: Violence)

Martial skills: Shield counter proficiency (11/70), Source Power introduction (45/50)

Two mysterious stars hung above in his mind, and subtitles flashed below them, listing Zhou Jia's progress in cultivation and martial arts so far.

Opening his eyes, he looked thoughtful.

It has been a while since he moved into Huojiabao, and the tree house has been excavated in half a dozen pieces. He has not been idle in his spare time.

I actually got a lot of information.

Tenth level of mortal level.

First grade cowhide.

Second grade tiger bone.

The third grade is strong within.

Fourth grade blood transfusion.

The fifth grade is Yijin.

Sixth grade marrow cutting.

Seven levels of combined force.

Eighth grade dragon and tiger.

Ninth grade true strength.

Ten levels of perfection.

It is said that there are super-level experts after the tenth level, but it is extremely difficult to break through to the tenth level, and something special is needed.

If he guessed correctly, what is needed should be the super quality.

At least.

Needed in some way.

No wonder Situ Lei said that although this thing is precious, no one can use it. The best option is to exchange it for what you need.

Existences above the tenth rank are legendary in Huojiabao, and the divine dragon has its head but not its tail.

The most people are those who have just entered the industry.

Thanks to the abundant supplies around them, people here can almost achieve first-grade cowhide and second-grade tiger bones as long as they don't die.

The third-grade internal strength and the fourth-grade blood exchange are the most common.

They are not as weak as cowhide or tiger bones, but they are not strong either. They can only protect themselves when encountering powerful monsters. They are the mainstream existence among the major forces.

Beyond level four, just like Situ Lei said, you already have the capital to survive.

Entering the Cloud Burial Forest to explore and hunt for treasures, most of the middle-level backbones of the major forces are fifth-, sixth-, and even seventh-grade masters.

Above the seventh level, it is completely different.

In Huojiabao, this group is the most top-notch existence!

Each of them has a unique inheritance. They will hardly encounter danger in the outer areas of the Cloud Burial Forest, and most of them live in the inner city.

In the outer city, it is rare to see masters above level seven.

The cloaked man Aaron, the boss of the quartet, is a seventh-level master. It is because of his presence that no one dares to provoke them.

Calculated in this way, Zhou Jia has a fifth-level cultivation level and can be considered a small master in the outer city.

certainly.

Although he has a fifth-grade cultivation, his strength is not strong.

Each of Huojiabao's fifth-grade masters possesses unique skills, and Zhou Jia is still at the entry level in even the most basic source of power skills.

If you really want to take action, let alone the fifth rank, I'm afraid even the fourth rank can defeat him easily.

However, he is not without a trump card. He can inspire violence, and his strength is even stronger than an ordinary seventh-grade man, enough to save his life.

"What are you thinking about?"

Dai Lei's voice brought him back to his senses.

"Nothing." Zhou Jia shook his head gently:

"I'll finish it here in two days. Have you chosen a suitable giant tree? I'll help you dig it out when it's finished here."

"There's no rush." ​​Dai Lei bit her lower lip and said:

"The meat is stewed, let's eat first."

"Okay." Zhou Jia responded.

In the process of digging the tree house, he made some simple wooden benches and wooden tables. Although the workmanship was not very good, it was no problem for daily meals.

Bringing over a basin of broth, Dai Lei said angrily: "This kind of fine meat sells for 30 yuan per catty, which is too expensive."

"A few kilograms is worth a hundred dollars, who can afford it?"

"I heard that eating this kind of meat can increase your energy." Zhou Jia smiled bitterly:

"I just gave it a try. I bought it this time, and I don't know what the next time will be."

One Origin Stone is equal to one thousand Origin Money. He has one hundred Origin Stones, which sounds like a lot, but there is a huge expense in the plan that cannot be saved.

So life still has to be tough.

"Eat, eat." He picked up a piece of meat from the basin and put it into his mouth, chewing it while saying:

"Speaking of which, the one-eyed monster's meat was even better than this. Even if he only wanted the refined meat, he could still sell it for one or two hundred Origin Stones. It would be a loss."

"Yes!" Dai Lei hummed:

"Situ Lei didn't say anything. If he had known that we wouldn't use weapons, how could we use meat?"

In other words, the two of them said that at that time, Situ Lei was full of hatred towards everyone, and it was impossible for him to tell what kind of things were valuable.

"Yeah." Zhou Jia paused while eating and said:

"Dai Lei, if you are not in a hurry to change your place of residence, why not stay here first? I need some time to sort out my things."

"Of course it's no problem." Dai Lei lowered her head to cover the excitement in her eyes:

"I can stay here as long as you like."

As a girl, saying such things seems a bit disrespectful to her, but the relationship between the two has not progressed during this period.

Zhou Jia didn't seem to understand all the hints, so she had no choice but to make it clear.

"That's good."

However, even with this explicit statement, Zhou Jia didn't seem to understand its meaning. He just nodded and continued to eat and drink.

fool!

Dai Lei rolled her eyes and saw that the meat in the basin was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, so she couldn't help but pick up a few pieces and eat them.

She also knew that to survive in a place like this, it was good to have someone to rely on, but it was best for her to have a certain amount of strength.

Things that can increase source power must not be let go.

"Brother Zhou."

While the two were eating and drinking, a soft voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Jia looked up when he heard the sound and saw a slender and frail figure standing in front of the door, holding the hem of his skirt with both hands and looking over cautiously.

He immediately said hello: "It's Fan Lin, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, come and eat something."

"Eat, I've eaten." Fan Lin glanced at the little broth left in the two basins, her throat rolled, and then she whispered:

"Brother Zhou, can you...can you lend me some more money?"

"Borrow money?" Zhou Jia put away the enthusiasm on his face and frowned:

"Didn't you just borrow three hundred dollars the day before yesterday?"

"Yes." Fan Lin nodded, her voice a little rushed and panicked:

"Monkey and I are going to live separately for the next two days. We found an unoccupied tree house nearby and want to buy some small door-blocking devices."

"Brother Zhou also knows that we are not strong and it will be very dangerous if we don't have something."

Zhou Jia didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

"No...if it's inconvenient, forget it." Fan Lin blushed and said dryly:

"I, I'll think of another way."

"Where's the monkey?" Zhou Jia's voice deepened:

"Why doesn't he come over?"

"He has something to do and doesn't have time to come over." Fan Lin's delicate body tensed up, and her fingers almost crushed the hem of her skirt.

"..." Zhou Jia's face was gloomy, and he paused before humming:

"Wait!"

With that said, he turned around and entered the back room.

Not long after, he came out with a money bag:

"Here is five hundred dollars. If you still need to borrow money in the future, don't come here."

"Yes, yes." Fan Lin hurriedly took the purse, not daring to look at Zhou Jia's expression, but nodded repeatedly:

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. Thank you, Brother Zhou."

After watching Fan Lin go away with her money bag, Dai Lei came over from behind, shook her head and sighed:

"This girl was still a rich second generation in the society when she came. Unfortunately, she had no experience in recognizing people, so she was deceived by the monkey's sweet talk."

"snort!"

"I'm afraid I won't even know if I'm being sold in the future."

"Forget it." Zhou Jia lowered his eyebrows:

"After all, it's just a fellow villager. If you help me like this, that's the end of it."

"Yes." Dai Lei nodded, her pretty face wrinkled again:

"But the two of them combined have a lot of Origin Stones in their hands. How long have they been borrowing money? What have they done?"

"Who knows." Zhou Jia shook his head:

"I'll go out for a while while you look at the house."

"Okay." Dai Lei looked at Zhou Jia with soft eyes like a wife at home:

"Don't come back too late."
