It’s all about martial arts, why did you turn on the simple mode?

Night falls.

"Someone is coming soon, the master is injured!"

In Ge Mansion, a harsh sound pierced the night sky, and all the guard maids rushed out and helped the seriously injured 'Ge An' in.

‘Ge’an’ dealt with everyone casually, then came to the study and asked no one to disturb them.

Although the wife and housekeeper were worried about 'Ge'an's injury, they did not dare to persuade him in the face of the strong Ge'an.

This 'Ge'an' is exactly what Su Chen is pretending to be.

After entering the study, Su Chen began to look for Ge An's treasure. From the information he learned, he knew that Ge An often stayed in the study.

Maybe there is some treasure hidden here.

This is very different from some movies and TV shows. Some martial arts masters like to set up hidden compartments and secret rooms in their study rooms to hide things.

Of course, all this is Su Chen's guess.

After searching for about half an hour, Su Chen found the trap from a book on the bookshelf. He turned the trap and sure enough, a hidden grid was revealed.

The secret compartment is not big, and several things are placed in it.

Cheats, bottles, money, jewelry...

"Sometimes, movies and TV series are sometimes very reliable!"

Su Chen sighed with surprise, then took out all these things and put them on the desk.

There were five secret books, which were well protected. Su Chen picked them up and looked at them, but it was a music score.

"You've hidden it so secretly, and you still want to cover it up. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool?"

Su Chen was already extremely familiar with this routine.

There must be secrets hidden in the so-called music score, which would be difficult for others to discover, but for Su Chen, it was easy.

But at this time, he did not check the secret book immediately, but looked at other treasures.

He quickly calculated the harvest: twenty-five Qi and Blood Pills, forty thousand taels of silver notes, and a pile of jewelry.

Weighing the number of Qi and Blood Pills, Su Chen was slightly surprised. He thought Ge An would have a lot of Qi and Blood Pills, but he didn't expect that there were only forty in total.

It seems that Xuan Shui Sect has very strict control over the Qi and Blood Pills sold to the outside world. Even people at Ge'an's level don't have many Qi and Blood Pills.

After putting the Qi and Blood Pills and money away, Su Chen opened the music score and read it slowly.

An hour later, Su Chen finished sorting it out and knew the name of this secret book: "Fire Cloud Transformation"!

To be precise, the name of this secret book is called The Four Transformations of Fire Cloud.

There are four changes in total, namely: Spark Change, Red Flame Change, Lie Yan Change, and Burning Cloud Change.

Each change represents an improvement in strength, from the initial spark to the red flame, to the blazing flame, to the final scorching mist, which respectively correspond to the four realms before blood-shedding.

In other words, this is a technique that directly points to the realm of bone forging.

After understanding Huoyun Bian, Su Chen secretly sighed that his efforts were not in vain. The most valuable thing in this harvest was this technique.

"Panel, let me see your limit, krypton gold, turn on simple mode."

The familiar voice sounded on the panel very cooperatively:

[Easy mode is turned on: After baking for ten minutes, you can practice the fire cloud transformation to the basic level. 】

The so-called roasting by fire does not necessarily mean roasting by fire. Even standing within one meter in front of a candle can be counted as roasting by fire.

After Su Chen stood in front of the candlelight for ten minutes, his body suddenly shivered and then returned to normal.

Huo Yun Bian was just getting started, and other than his body becoming warmer, there were no obvious changes.

It's not over yet, Su Chen continues to spend money.

[Easy mode is on: bake the fire for twenty minutes, and then you can practice the Fire Cloud Transformation to the first transformation. 】

After practicing the first transformation, his body had obvious changes. A fire cloud loomed in his heart, and his heartbeat seemed to be filled with hormones. Su Chen could feel the speed of qi and blood speeding up.

This acceleration is different from the acceleration of Xuanyuan Jue. It is more like the heart's blood supply capacity being released crazily in a short period of time, and the blood vessels continuously draining blood, thus promoting the circulation of qi and blood.

However, this state did not last long before it returned to its original state.

"The second transformation requires ten Qi and Blood Pills. We can only improve it after we return."

After looking at the conditions on the panel, Su Chen temporarily gave up taking drugs to improve the Fire Cloud Transformation. Su Chen didn't think his body could bear ten Qi and Blood Pills in one night.

"who?"

Just as Su Chen packed his things and was about to leave the study, he suddenly heard subtle footsteps coming from outside the door.

He was startled suddenly, then cast his gaze, looking solemnly at the man in black who suddenly appeared in the study.

"it's me!"

The man in black did not panic because he was discovered, but looked at Ge An and said lightly. When he saw the vigilance in the other person's eyes, he couldn't help but snorted, "Haha, Deputy Gang Leader Ge is really a noble man who forgets things. , you don’t remember where you are so soon?”

Su Chen did not speak, but chewed the other person's words carefully, and quickly concluded that this person should know Ge An.

"What do you want from me?" After making this guess, Su Chen calmed down and asked calmly.

The man in black didn't care about Su Chen's indifferent attitude. The fact that Ge An lost his beloved son was already known to everyone in Dafeng City. Behind the scenes, many people called him Crazy Ge. There was no need for him to be here. Argue with him about things.

He glanced around and then landed on Su Chen, and said calmly: "In five days, there will be disciples of the Chu family from Yunzhou coming to Dafeng City. I want you to facilitate the arrangement of the disciples of the Chu family to move into the Liuhe Gang."

A descendant of the Chu family in Yunzhou?

Staying at Liuhebang?

When Su Chen heard this, his brows furrowed, as if he was deep in thought.

A descendant of the Chu family, as soon as you hear this title, you will know that you are a descendant of the aristocratic family.

This is also true. The Chu family is the first family in Yunzhou, and its status is equal to that of the Hong family in Qinzhou.

What he just couldn't figure out was why this person wanted to let a son of the Chu family stay in the Liuhe Gang when he came to Qinzhou.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen had no idea, but he still nodded to avoid being noticed by the man in black.

call out!

The man in black was very satisfied with Su Chen's attitude. He threw a bottle of elixir to Su Chen. After Su Chen caught the elixir, he said, "This is what you want."

Su Chen did not speak, but opened it and took a look. When he saw the pill in the bottle, his pupils shrank slightly.

It’s Xuanyuan Dan!

One, two, three... a total of nine Xuanyuan Pills.

"Could this person be from the Xuanshui Sect? Is Ge An cooperating with the Xuanshui Sect because of this Xuanyuan Pill? Then why does he want the Xuanyuan Pill?"

All kinds of doubts popped up in Su Chen's mind.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"Xuan Yuan Dan is a must-have item for Xuanshui Sect disciples to practice. Is it because Ge An asked for Xuanyuan Dan because he has practiced the Xuanshui Sect's skills? Or is it because he is originally from the Xuanshui Sect and is a member of the Xuanshui Sect? A traitor to the Liuhe Gang?"

It was as if half of Infernal Affairs was surging in Su Chen's mind.

But soon, he rejected this speculation.

"No, when I fought against Ge An, I didn't notice any trace of him practicing the Xuanyuan Jue. The hot energy in his body was clearly from practicing the Fire Cloud Transformation.

Then why did he ask for the elixir from the man in black?

Fire Cloud Transformation, Xuanyuan Jue, fire, and water can be said to be completely unrelated to each other. It is impossible to practice Fire Cloud Transformation with the help of Xuanyuan Dan.

Wait, maybe this is really possible.

Huoyunbian is an extremely powerful Zhiyang technique. Maybe there was something wrong with Ge'an's practice, so he needed Xuanyuan Dan to complement it. "

Thinking like this, a smile appeared on Su Chen's face: "Whether it is possible or not, in the end, I got an advantage in the end. However, there are only nine Xuanyuan Pills here, one less than the krypton medicine Xuanyuan Jue. This Don’t you know how to give me one more?”

He silently put away the pills and coughed lightly: "Can you give me a few more pills?"

Hearing this, the man in black's expression condensed, and he was a little dissatisfied with Su Chen's extravagant approach. He said coldly: "Nine Xuanyuan Pills are enough to sustain you for a month."

Sure enough, it is related to cultivation!

Su Chen's face lit up, confirming his guess.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be pitiful. He coughed several times and said, "You also know the recent situation. My energy and blood attacked my heart, which caused my cultivation to go wrong, so..."

He didn't continue, but the man in black already understood what he meant.

How dare you bargain with him, old guy!

After snorting coldly, the man in black threw another cyan vial from his arms. Su Chen took it and saw that there were three Xuanyuan Pills lying inside.

Before he could speak, the voice of the man in black rang out: "This is your share for next month!"

Facing such an unkind man in black, Su Chen just smiled, "Next month?"

Whether you can see Ge An next month is a question.

"Wait a minute..."

After seeing Su Chen accept the pill, the man in black was about to leave, but at this moment, Su Chen's voice sounded.

"What's the matter?" The man in black stopped and asked without looking back, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

"Do you still have Qi and Blood Pills?"

Su Chen's slightly expectant voice sounded, causing the man in black to turn around suddenly and stare directly at Su Chen.

After a long time, the man in black asked with a smile: "What do you want the Qi Blood Pill for?"

There really is.

Su Chen was overjoyed and said without changing his expression: "You also know the recent situation. My qi and blood attack my heart, which has caused some problems in my cultivation, so I need to nourish my qi and blood."

"only these!"

The man in black twitched his mouth, gritted his teeth and uttered a word, then threw a bottle of elixir to Su Chen.

After saying that, regardless of Su Chen's reaction, he swayed and disappeared in front of him.

Su Chen took the elixir and looked at the elusive movement of the man in black. Then he looked at his own palm, his eyes showing solemnity.

Although the man in black never took action, Su Chen did not dare to act rashly.

The other party just threw the bottle, which made Su Chen feel like he was facing Ge An directly.

I'm afraid the opponent is even stronger than Ge An!

"I thought it was a lot, but it turns out there are only five Qi and Blood Pills."

Mosquito meat is also meat, so Su Chen accepted it unceremoniously, then took a package of things and left Ge Mansion when no one was around.

After returning home, Su Chen changed back into his regular clothes, washed himself, and went to bed to rest.

Now Su Chen can swallow five Qi and Blood Pills a day, so in two days, Su Chen practiced the Fire Cloud Transformation to the second level, Lie Yan Transformation.

A fire cloud energy naturally appeared in the body, and there was a faint scorching aura in the energy.

As Su Chen had guessed before, Ge An's request for the Xuanyuan Pill was indeed to assist in his cultivation.

After cultivating the strength of Huoyunbian, it will produce a slight burning sensation on the body.

This burning sensation will not have much impact in a short period of time, but if it continues like this, it will cause damage to the body.

Moreover, it will become more and more fiery as the practice of Huoyunbian deepens.

If there is no more restraint, the whole person will feel like he is in a furnace, suffering from the burning flames all the time.

The reason why Ge An asked for the Xuanyuan Pill was to suppress this burning feeling.

Otherwise, he himself would be tortured to death by the burning sensation before others could take action.

However, Su Chen didn't have such worries. The Xuanyuan Jue could offset the side effects caused by the Fire Cloud Transformation. Su Chen had already practiced the Xuanyuan Jue to the second level and was completely immune to the burning sensation.

"There are still thirty Qi-Blood Pills left and eight Xuanyuan Pills left. Whether you use Qi-Blood Pills to enhance the Fire Cloud Transformation or use Xuanyuan Pills to enhance the Xuanyuan Jue, it is enough. The two can complement each other. offset."

According to the original plan, Su Chen planned to use all the Qi and Blood Pills to advance the Iron Cloth Shirt. He had a feeling that once he entered the sixth level of the Iron Cloth Shirt, his strength would undergo earth-shaking changes. Entering the realm of bone forging.

But after thinking about it, I finally decided to upgrade the Fire Cloud Transformation to Krypton first. After all, even if I take all the Qi and Blood Pills, I still cannot be promoted to Iron Cloth Shirt. It is better to upgrade the Fire Cloud Transformation first.

"The third-level Xuanyuan Jue and the third-level Fire Cloud Change complement each other exactly." Su Chen thought.

The plan for krypton medicine was temporarily settled, and Su Chen quickly had other ideas.

"Currently, in the tempering of the five internal organs, the Iron Cloth Shirt tempers the lungs, Xuanyuan Jue tempers the kidneys, Fire Cloud Transformation tempers the heart, and the liver and spleen are left. Tomorrow is the day when the black market opens. Go to the black market then. See if you can find the corresponding exercises.

It doesn't matter even if there is no complete one, I can integrate the exercises step by step, just like Iron Cloth Shirt, fusing incomplete exercises with similar attributes into a complete exercise to help me temper other internal organs.

In addition, the sword-drawing technique also needs to be strengthened. In the battle with Ge'an, the second-level sword-drawing technique was obviously not enough.

Not only were the moves insufficient, but the steel knife and Yanling knife were also insufficient. If Ge An hadn't been prepared at the time, even with powerful blessings, these two ordinary knives might not be able to break through the defense.

So I still need to make two new weapons. Anyway, I have money now, so why not make them better, at least they can be effective in forging bones.

This time I went to the black market to do three things. One was to find exercises to temper the liver and spleen, one was to buy sword skills, and the other was to see if I could continue to buy Qi and Blood Pills. As for crafting weapons, wait until tomorrow morning. Go to the blacksmith shop. "

After listing things one by one, the order suddenly became much clearer.

Although there are many, Su Chen feels endlessly happy at the thought of improving his own strength.

"However, there is one more thing to do before going to the black market!"

Late this night.

Cai Mansion.

"Brother Zhu, take a rest. This is the bird's nest porridge I made for you. Drink it while it's hot."

Cai Xiaoyue walked into the courtyard carrying bird's nest porridge. When she saw Zhu Yan who was reading at night by candlelight, she couldn't help showing a look of distress on her face.

However, at this time, Zhu Yan was completely immersed in the knowledge of medical secrets. From time to time, he would beat his feet and chest, and exclaimed:

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, why didn't I think of this before? The more I read, the more I realize how shallow and ignorant I am. The knowledge of our ancestors is so profound and profound!"

Looking at Zhu Yan who seemed to be suffering from hysteria, Cai Xiaoyue smiled helplessly, then placed the bird's nest porridge next to Zhu Yan. After thinking for a while, she finally did not interrupt him.

call out!

After putting the bird's nest porridge, Cai Xiaoyue did not leave, but sat aside and looked at Zhu Yan dreamingly. Suddenly, a voice interrupted her gaze.

"what sound?"

Following the sound, Cai Xiaoyue looked startled and saw the paper ball on the ground at a glance.

She stood up suddenly and looked around, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Stepping forward, she picked up the paper ball and opened it. Cai Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment. Then she turned around and left without caring about Zhu Yan behind her.

"father."

"Come in!"

With a creak, Cai Xiaoyue walked into the study, took out the paper ball, handed it to Cai Liuhe, and said, "Dad, look at this."

Cai Liuhe was stunned when he heard this. He took the paper ball and read it. Cai Xiaoyue opened her mouth to tell Cai Liuhe what had just happened.

"Children of the Chu family..."

After reading the contents on the paper ball, Cai Liuhe muttered, looking confused.

He didn't get any news about the Chu family's children coming to Dafeng City.

"Dad, is someone going to target the Liuhe Gang?" Cai Xiaoyue asked when she saw Cai Liuhe thinking deeply.

"not sure."

Cai Liuhe shook his head and said, but in his mind he was thinking about the identity of the person who tipped off the information. He looked at Cai Xiaoyue, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Cai Xiaoyue responded, then turned and left.

The next day.

Su Chen took the time to go to the blacksmith shop and spent two thousand taels of silver to have the other party make two weapons out of fine steel.

After agreeing on a time to collect it, Su Chen went back to study medical books while waiting for the black market to open in the evening.

As the sun set, Su Chen changed his clothes and headed out of the city to the black market.

The black market is still bustling with people coming and going.

The person who sold Qi and Blood Pills before did not show up this time. Su Chen had expected it and was a little disappointed, but he quickly focused on other things.

"How much is this sword technique secret book?"

When he came to a stall, Su Chen quickly found a secret book on sword skills, so he leaned over and asked.

"Ten thousand, five hundred taels!"

When Su Chen heard this, he turned around and left without hesitation.

A incomplete secret book sold for more than 10,000 taels. I really thought he was taken advantage of!

Seeing that Su Chen was leaving so decisively, the man knew that he had met a 'master', so he smiled and said, "Sir, please stay. The price is negotiable. How much do you want to buy?"

"A zero is enough." Su Chen stopped in time and looked back at the other person.

"Okay, Your Excellency is really happy. In that case, I will make you your friend and sell it to you for ten thousand taels!"

With that said, the stall owner picked up the secret book and handed it to Su Chen with a smile.

Su Chen glanced at it, but did not reach out to take it, but smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I said zero, it is one thousand five hundred taels!"

Vendor owner: "...!"

Hearing this, he looked at Su Chen with wide eyes, obviously not expecting such a way to erase zeros.

Immediately, his expression suddenly changed unpredictably, and there seemed to be heat surging on his forehead. He could only hear him yelling with almost gritted teeth: "Deal!"

Su Chen: "...!!!"
