My strength increases by 100 pounds every day

"We are villagers from a nearby village. We originally went up the mountain to collect herbs. But when we passed by Caishen Town, we wanted to see if there was anything valuable left in Caishen Town. We accidentally bumped into the hero. I hope Don’t blame a good man.”

A man in shorts spoke with a panicked tone.

"Yes, good man, we are really from the nearby villages. If you don't believe it, you can go back with us and have a look."

Another man also spoke quickly.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Shi looked at them carefully and saw that they were holding things like steel forks and hatchets, and there were bamboo baskets behind them. They seemed to be going into the mountains to collect herbs.

"What happened in Caishen Town?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Five days ago, a group of bandits from Qinglong Mountain came down and swept through Caishen Town overnight, killing the entire town."

The man in bunt spoke.

Jiang Shi frowned secretly.

Sure enough.

There was a thought in his heart, and he suddenly looked at this group of men and said, "You just said that you go to the mountains to collect medicine? So you are all medicine people."

"Yes good man."

A man spoke.

"So there are medicinal materials in your village?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"this···"

Several men looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you. I'm going to buy some medicinal materials from you. I wonder if you will sell them?"

Jiang Shi opened his mouth, took out some broken silver directly from his arms, and threw it down as a deposit.

"I wonder what kinds of medicinal materials a strong man needs?"

A man picked up the broken silver and asked carefully.

Jiang Shi immediately named several names.

Undoubtedly, they are all used to practice the [Chiyang Body Strengthening Technique].

The faces of the men suddenly changed, and they seemed to be hesitating quickly.

But when he saw the silver in his hand, he quickly relaxed his mouth.

"To tell you the truth, warrior, we do have these medicinal materials in our village."

The man in bunt said.

"That's good. Please lead the way. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly."

Jiang Shi smiled.

Several men nodded slowly.

Along the way, Jiang Shi directly asked them about the general situation nearby.

"What the strong man doesn't know is that the life of us medicine people has become increasingly difficult. In the past, we could still make a living by going to the mountains to collect medicines in exchange for some money, but now all the medicines purchased must be handed over to the army. After the medicines are selected by the military, the rest are ours. The key is that the prices given by the military for the medicines taken away are so low that it is difficult for us to make ends meet now."

The man in shorts sighed, paused and said, "Later I found out that the medicinal materials taken away by the military were extremely important and were used for martial arts practice. They seemed not to be prepared to let these medicinal materials flow to the people again."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Shi spoke expressionlessly.

"I think the medicinal materials bought by the strong men are also forbidden. Fortunately, our village has made a living by collecting herbs for generations, and every household has kept a lot of them privately, so we can provide them to the strong men."

The man said.

"Don't worry, as long as you can get me some medicinal materials, the money can be easily negotiated."

Jiang Shi spoke.

He thought quickly in his mind.

The military's monopoly on medicinal materials is probably still the first step.

If the world is in chaos for a long time, it is estimated that other types of things will be monopolized by them one after another.

The people are in dire straits, and this is just the beginning...

Half an hour later.

Under the leadership of the two men, Jiang Shi finally arrived at a small mountain village at the foot of a mountain.

The village is not big, with about a hundred households.

As soon as he came back, many people from the village gathered.

"Er Huzi is back?"

"Did you find anything good this time?"

"Damn it, the military is becoming more and more strict now. They don't dare to say anything to the outside world, but they are exploiting it internally!"

"Who says it's not the case? There are bandits and rebels everywhere in Fengcheng, and we don't see them suppressing them, but they want to keep an eye on the three melons and two dates in our hands?"

Many villagers complained.

But they soon saw Jiang Shi riding on a war horse and holding a mace, and their expressions suddenly became slightly startled.

Good guy!

This is···

"Village chief, this little brother's name is..."

The man in shorts ran up to an old man in his forties or fifties. Just as he was about to introduce him, he suddenly paused and looked at Jiang Shi.

"I am just an unknown person in Xiajiangshi who came here to buy some medicinal materials. Don't worry, I will never say anything to the outside world."

Jiang Shi spoke.

The old man felt awe-inspiring and stared closely at the mace in Jiang Shi's hand.

This thick mace is quite heavy...

And it's covered in blood stains...

This man has definitely killed someone before.

In his heart, he complained that Erhuzi and others should not bring such unknown people into the village.

But now that the other party has come, if he directly refuses or drives him away, he is afraid that he will anger this man, which will definitely bring about a bloody disaster.

"Okay, I wonder what kind of medicine a strong man needs?"

The old man in his forties or fifties asked.

"Can we talk somewhere else?"

Jiang Shi smiled.

There are so many people, so it’s better to stay away for a while.

The village chief nodded slowly and finally led Jiang Shi to his residence.

Jiang Shi got off his horse, walked into the lobby with the mace in hand, and directly told him the medicinal materials he needed.

The village chief suddenly frowned, his heart heavy, and he took a deep look at Jiang Shi.

As expected, they are all used for martial arts practice!

and···

Still practicing hard skills!

"Hero, we do have the medicinal materials, but the price..."

He didn't dare to refuse, because most of the two tigers had already crossed paths with them along the way.

"Don't worry, the price is easy to negotiate."

Jiang Shi took out a thousand tael silver note and put it on the table.

The village chief's eyelids twitched, he took a breath and said, "Rong Laosen will go out to help you collect it."

"Village Chief, the more, the better. Also, I may live here recently, please help me arrange a place to live."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Live here?"

The village chief was surprised.

"Yes, don't live in vain!"

Jiang Shi spoke.

The village chief nodded again, put away the banknotes on the table, and walked directly outside.

Nothing unexpected happened next.

Jiang Shi was quickly arranged by the village chief and settled in a room with a courtyard.

At dusk, the village chief carried two packages and entered Jiang Shi's residence.

"Hero, do you think these are enough?"

The village chief smiled.

Jiang Shi's eyes flashed, he stepped forward to check carefully, and soon frowned slightly.

There are not many medicinal materials, it can be used three or four times.

Is this village chief still hiding his secrets?

"Okay, I'll use it first and ask the village chief to continue collecting it for me."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"I'll try my best."

The village chief smiled.

"By the way, don't call me a hero from now on, just call me by my name."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Well... I'd better call you little brother Jiang, right?"

The village chief hesitated.

Jiang Shi nodded slightly.

The village chief quickly said goodbye and left.

Jiang Shi started boiling water directly in the yard for refining.

Not long after, a large bucket of medicinal bath was prepared.

He took off his clothes, sat cross-legged in the tub, and began to practice the [Red Yang Body Training Technique].

···

The other direction.

Under the escort of two burly men, Lu Chengtian finally returned to the Yiming Army stronghold and met his father.

"What did you say? You met the Green Forest Army on the way? Was it specifically targeting you?"

Lu Chengtian's father was an old man in his sixties, dressed in purple robes, very dignified, his brows furrowed tightly, and he asked.

"Yes, father, someone must have leaked my whereabouts. There are spies in our stronghold."

Lu Chengtian gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Um?"

Lu Chongshan narrowed his eyes, a cold light appeared, and said: "Spy? You actually plotted against me. Are you okay?"

He looked at Lu Chengtian again.

"Reply to my father, I'm fine, thanks to the help of a knight. By the way, that knight is simply weird. He is born with supernatural power and is extremely powerful. He can kill masters who have reached the tenth level of strength with his physical body alone."

Lu Chengtian's eyes were excited and he said: "I have never seen such a genius. If I can be called under my father's command, I will be able to feel proud in front of my grandpa from now on. And if he helps me, the world will be settled!"

"What are you talking about? You can kill a master who has entered the tenth level with your physical body alone?"

Lu Chongshan was shocked.

Are you kidding me?

"It's absolutely true. Fan Hu and Liu Long around me saw it with their own eyes."

Lu Chengtian said excitedly.

"Yes, handsome!"

"It's a pity that he was unmoved by our solicitation."

The two burly men clasped their fists and said.

"Born King Kong, could this be the second Meng Fang?"

Lu Chongshan murmured.

Meng Fang, the governor of Youzhou, was born as a king. With a phoenix wing and a gold-plated hammer, he suppressed the world and made all the rebel armies and Jianghu sects unable to lift their heads.

It can be called invincible!

Now another one pops up?

"Where did he go?"

"He's going to Caishen Town. Father, you must not force this person. You can only invite him in person. You must be sincere."

Lu Chengtian spoke quickly.
