Hunting Immortals and Demons

Three days later, at night, the clouds were heavy and there was no moon.

Outside the Gao Family's Martial Arts Mansion, a big man suddenly appeared, carrying a bamboo basket and walking towards the Gao Family Martial Arts Mansion.

"stop."

Several people from the Qiu family surrounded the big man.

A sharp knife was placed on the big man's neck.

The big man's face was pale and full of fear. He raised his hands and said, "You guys, spare your lives. I really don't have any money."

Qiu didn't say anything. He cut off the strap of the bamboo basket with a slash of his sword. He took the bamboo basket and saw that it was empty.

The faces of the Qiu family members darkened, and one of them shouted: "Who asked you to walk here carrying a bamboo basket in the middle of the night? You are seeking death."

"My dear man, please forgive me. Someone gave me five taels of silver and asked me to just walk here with a bamboo basket on my back. I thought that such easy money would be in vain if I don't make it, so I came here. What am I doing?" I don’t know either.”

The big man begged.

At this moment, from all directions and in different directions, at least dozens of men carrying bamboo baskets were walking towards the Gao family's martial arts mansion.

"Damn it, stop it."

"stop."

People from the Qiu family and Zheng family who were hiding in the dark rushed out one after another to stop these people.

But with dozens of people together, the two gatekeepers were obviously short of manpower, and the scene was chaotic.

In the night, Lu Yan, carrying a bamboo basket several times larger than before, quietly approached the Gao Family's Wu Chu Mansion, and then jumped into the Wu Chu Mansion.

"who?"

As soon as he entered Wu Chu Mansion, he was discovered by several warriors who looked like guards.

"Everyone, I'm here to hand over the shellfish."

Lu Yan smiled, and calmly took out a thirty-tael banknote, handed it to the leading guard, and said, "This is for a few eldest brothers to drink, and a few eldest brothers to lead the way."

The guard glanced at the banknote, immediately smiled and said: "Well, it turned out to be the one who handed over the shellfish. Come, follow us."

As he spoke, the banknote slipped into his sleeve.

Lu Yan followed several guards, walked through the circular corridor, and came to a study room.

"Master Steward, someone is here to hand over the shellfish."

The leader of the guard reported.

"The date has passed. What shellfish should I hand in? Let him go."

An old voice came from the study.

"Sir, there are quite a lot of shellfish here, this junior, weighing hundreds of kilograms."

Lu Yan said.

Several guards were startled and looked at Lu Yan in confusion.

In the study, there was silence for a while, and the old voice came out again: "It turns out to be you. I have been waiting for you for several days. Come in."

Lu Yan pushed open the door and entered.

The study room was very spacious, with a desk made of pear wood. An old man with silver hair sat behind the desk, looking at him curiously.

"I'm Gao Xuhai, the manager of the Gao Family's Martial Arts House. What do you call me?"

The old man said.

"Junior Wei Tao."

Of course, Lu Yan couldn't give his real name, nor could he give him the name Lu Shanchuan, so he made up a name.

Of course, this name is not made up randomly, at least the surname is very particular.

The surname Wei makes people easily think of the Wei family in Li'an County.

After all, there are not many people with the surname Wei in the six counties of Lingdong.

Invisibly, it will make people more fearful.

"Your surname is Wei, is she from Li'an County?"

Gao Xuhai asked.

"The war is intense and there is no time to be distracted, so I can only come here alone."

Lu Yan sighed and frowned, as if he remembered something sad.

"Your Majesty is so capable. Several important officials have been fooled around."

Gao Xuhai said meaningfully.

"Senior, you are ridiculous. I am alone. It is difficult for me to win without some means."

Lu Yan sighed.

"Okay, it doesn't matter what the process is. I, Mr. Gao, only value the results. Whoever has more shellfish will win. Show me the shellfish."

Gao Xuhai stood up.

Lu Yan handed the bamboo basket to the other party.

Gao Xuhai called two people to pour the shellfish into several large tanks. After checking that everything was correct, they weighed the fish in batches. The final result was 420 kilograms.

"According to the price, one hundred taels per catty, a total of forty-two thousand taels of silver."

Gao Xuhai first took out an account book and recorded it, and then took out a stack of gold and silver tickets.

In this world, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver.

Eight gold tickets with a denomination of five hundred taels.

All that's left is cash.

A total of forty-two thousand taels of silver was obtained.

Adding a little more is enough to buy the Jade Bone Tiger.

That's right, according to the price in previous years, the price of a jade bone tiger was as high as 50,000 taels.

The price is horrifyingly high.

In fact, if you use the Beast King Bone Protection Decoction made from the Jade Bone Tiger alone to break through Wuhou, although the effect is better than the alienated Nine Tribulations heart meat, it is not much better.

The success rate is at most 10% higher.

But the price is four or five times higher.

But things are rare and valuable.

There are still a lot of alienated people in the six counties of Lingdong, and even those at the Wuhou level often appear.

But only the Gao family has jade-bone tigers, and a jade-bone tiger can only make one serving of Beast King Bone-Protective Soup.

If you want to break through the innate martial body, you need to use the Beast King Bone Protecting Soup.

Competition is fierce, which naturally leads to rising prices.

After paying the silver, Gao Xuhai took out another account book and wrote on it: Wei Tao, paying 420 kilograms of shellfish, first place.

Lu Yan glanced at it.

I found that the quantity handed over by other gatekeepers was also written on it.

Apart from him, Ouyang's has the most weight, weighing two hundred and sixty pounds.

Mr. Li, two hundred and ten pounds.

As expected, these gates weighed more than two hundred pounds.

If he didn't take action, he would definitely not be ranked among the top two.

Gao Xuhai generously let Lu Yan see it. These would be announced later anyway, otherwise there would be no way to convince the public.

After writing, Gao Xuhai took out a special wooden token and handed it to Lu Yan, saying: "In three days, take the token to buy the Jade Bone Tiger. Remember, we only recognize the token and not the person. If we lose it, If you take the token, you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Lu Yan could understand. After all, there were many people in this world who were proficient in the art of disguise.

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Yan clasped his fists and hid the token close to his body before saying goodbye and exiting.

Lu Yan first jumped onto the wall, then used his body skills to quickly rush towards the distance.

Even if they were discovered by the Qiu family and the Zheng family, they could not keep up with him and were quickly thrown away by him.

Lu Yan walked around outside several times before returning to the inn.

Everything is ready, just wait for three days.

The next day, night.

In the Li Family Courtyard, three Wuhous, Li Wenlong, Li Wenjie, and Li Wenyan, secretly received a guest.

This person turned out to be Gao Xuhai, the kitchen manager of the Gao family.

"We haven't seen each other for several years. My senior is still as charming as ever. I would like to propose a toast to my senior."

Li Wenlong stood up and raised his glass to toast with a very respectful attitude.

"I am old and my potential has been exhausted. I have no hope of becoming a grandmaster in this life and I will not live for a few more years. However, my nephews are in their prime and have a chance of becoming a grandmaster in the future."

Gao Xuhai took a sip from his wine glass and sighed.

"Senior, what are you talking about? Senior is getting stronger and stronger, and his energy and blood are strong, so he can live for another few decades."

Li asked Long Dao.

"My dear nephew, please tell me what you have to say. Why did you see me today?"

Gao Xuhai Road.

"Senior, I heard that some interesting things happened outside the Wu Chu Mansion last night. Did the mysterious man turn in the shellfish?"

Li Wenlong asked.

"good."

Gao Xuhai nodded.

"How many pounds?"

"Four hundred and twenty."

The expressions of the three Wuhous of the Li family all changed.

Four hundred and twenty kilograms, definitely ranked first, wouldn't Li just miss out?

But this time, they are determined to win the Jade Bone Tiger.

Because this time the Jade Bone Tiger was bought for Li Cangxin.

Li Cangxin, Li Canglin's younger brother, and the biological son of Li Wenxuan, one of the candidates for the future clan leader, has a powerful innate martial body and has three times the energy and blood of an ordinary person.

"Senior, this thousand-year-old ginseng was acquired by Master Wenxuan by chance. This time, I entrusted the junior to give it to the senior."

Li Wenlong took out a wooden box. After opening it, the fragrance filled his nostrils. It was a ginseng that was more than six inches long.

Gao Xuhai's eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with blazing light.

Thousand-year-old ginseng is an extremely rare elixir. If cooked with the blood of the second-level alien beast king, after taking it, one can extend one's life by five years.

The price is so high that it is still above the alienated heart.

But it is too rare. The six counties of Lingdong rarely appear in the world. They are completely priceless and have no market.

"I heard that the Li clan leader is old and his life is short. Li Wenxuan didn't give the Thousand Life Ginseng to the Li clan leader first, but gave it to me instead. Hehe."

Gao Xuhai chuckled lightly, his eyes no longer showing any emotion.

"To be honest, senior, the patriarch has already taken Qianshou Ginseng. Qianshou Ginseng is only effective the first time. If you take it again, it will be completely ineffective."

Li asked Long Dao.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do to give you such a precious treasure?"

Gao Xuhai got straight to the point.

"You really can't hide it from senior."

Li Wenlong flattered and stated his purpose: "Junior, I want to be qualified to buy a jade-bone tiger."

Gao Xuhai's face was calm, as if he had already guessed the purpose of Li Wenlong and others, and said: "But the top two have been decided, and Li is only the third, which is difficult to handle."

"Senior, where did that mysterious man come from?"

Li Wenlong asked.

"Called himself Wei Tao." Gao Xuhai said.

"Li'an Wei clan?"

Li Wenlong's expression changed.

"Wei? Hehe, he probably used a pseudonym. Moreover, that person also disguised himself. It should be a special martial art that assists in disguise. I have lived for more than a hundred years. I have never seen anyone and want to hide it. It's not that easy to get past my eyes."

Gao Xuhai sneered.

"Since I am alone and have no background, I believe that seniors can modify it."

Li Wenlong said tentatively.

Gao Xuhai pondered for a moment, then grabbed the wooden box of Qianshou Ginseng and put it in his sleeve.

Li Wenlong and others all looked happy.

"Senior, I heard that the token has been issued, but I don't know what to do?"

Li Wenjie asked curiously.

"The token is made of wood. During the production process, I put a corrosive insect in it. As long as the corrosive insect is activated, the corrosive insect will explode and corrode the token."

Gao Xuhai Road.

"Senior is really clever."

Li Wenlong and the three of them all clasped their fists in flattery.

"What a clever plan. It's just a matter of extra caution. Also, we haven't seen it today."

Gao Xuhai Road.

"Of course, we have been practicing martial arts today and have never seen our seniors before."

Li Wenlong and the others said seriously.

Gao Xuhai showed a satisfied smile.

It wasn't until late at night that Gao Xuhai left Li's Villa quietly.

After returning to his mansion, Gao Xuhai first hid the Qianshou Ginseng, then took out a special incense stick and lit it.

Once this incense is lit, the fragrance can spread for ten miles.

Corrosion bugs can be smelled anywhere within ten miles, and once they are smelled, they will explode.
