Taoist master wants to ascend

With the calculation in his mind, Li Yuan stopped teasing the Black Whale Hammer, exited the secret realm, and fell asleep soundly.

The morning in Daocheng was also quite lively. Under the wisps of cooking smoke, there were many pedestrians on the street, mostly going to work. On the road, I also met a few blacksmiths recruited by the blacksmith shop.

Duobingpu is located on the left side of Minghua Street, which is a relatively prosperous street in the outer city. Although the area is not as large as when it was in Zhelong Mansion, it is considered a large store on this street.

Li Yuan arrived very early, and the blacksmiths in the forge had not yet started work. Liu Zheng got up early and was looking at the accounts in the backyard. When he learned that Li Yuan was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Brother Li."

Liu Zheng came quickly and ordered the shop assistants and apprentices to buy breakfast.

"How's the business at the shop?"

Li Yuan asked casually. He was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper. Apart from paying out and collecting money, Liu Zheng did most of the chores.

"This is the store's expense accounts and personnel list in the past six months."

Liu Zheng took out the account book and handed it over. Li Yuan read it while he reported on it.

It is said that it is revenue and expenditure, but in fact most of it is expenditure.

The blacksmith shop had only been open for a few days, and it had been recruiting blacksmiths and apprentices for several months, building forging rooms and other facilities, and purchasing various iron materials.

Apart from other things, the prices of several shops are not enough to be covered by the profits of the blacksmith shop in one or two years.

If it weren't for the huge demand for weapons, Li Yuan felt that it might be faster to make money by doing other businesses, but of course, this would have to exclude himself.

In Daocheng, all kinds of expenses are very high, and the value of famous weapons is also rising. With his current skill in forging weapons, he can earn at least ten prosperous shops a year if he really works hard.

"It's okay to have a slight loss. There was not much business when we first opened, but it will be fine after that."

Li Yuan put down his account books and several sharp knives and famous utensils he was carrying. These were fine products made by himself and could be used as treasures for the town shop for the time being.

"Everything in Hengshan City is expensive. Personnel expenses and purchasing iron materials are more than 50% more expensive than when we were in Zhelong Mansion."

When it comes to losses, Liu Zheng feels very sad.

"That's different. Huizhou is one of the largest mines on Hengshan Road, and with the Shenbing Valley taking care of the materials, it's naturally cheaper. But you don't get this treatment in Hengshan City."

Li Yuan is not very proficient in business. In his previous life, the business of the small supermarket he ran was miserable, and he could barely make ends meet.

In the past few years, he has been able to make money by doing business in many places. Firstly, it is because his blacksmithing skills are good, and secondly, because his status is high enough.

In fact, the same is true when coming to Hengshan City.

If he had not been a disciple of the inner sect of Longhu, and had not had the "ancestral master's approval", no matter how talented Liu Zheng was in business, he would not have been able to gain a foothold so quickly and buy several prosperous shops at market prices.

"That's true."

Liu Zheng actually knew it in his heart, but when it came to complaining, how could he appear to have done something himself if he didn't complain?

Li Yuan didn't care much about his little Jiujiu. The two chatted for a few words, with Liu Zheng reporting and Li Yuan giving instructions.

"Do you want to expand?"

Liu Zheng was a little surprised.

"Well, the location of the shop needs to be increased several times from the current basis. As for the recruitment of personnel, the blacksmiths need to be recruited, and the apprentices must also be recruited. Well, let it be known that I will occasionally come to give guidance to the apprentices and let them know in private."

Li Yuan did not explain, only gave instructions.

These days on Chun Gang Peak, he is not just blacksmithing, he is also familiar with the operation of Chun Gang Peak. He is very interested in the assembly line style of blacksmithing.

For ordinary warriors, the more special the weapons, the better, but for him, the more similar they are, the higher the success rate of combining weapons.

"This, I understand."

Liu Zheng handed over his hand.

"As for the crafting of weapons, in addition to the common swords, make more hammers, preferably of the same style."

Li Yuan reached into his arms and actually took out a drawing from the palm space. This was something he had drawn casually before coming. It looked like a long-handled six-edged hammer.

Chapter 64 The Hall of Beasts.

"Ah, Hammer Soldier?"

Liu Zheng was startled. Hammers were not as easy to sell as swords, but doubts swirled in his mouth and turned into questions:

"How much?"

"Um……"

Li Yuanxin made some calculations, and found out that one seventh-level hammer weapon requires three sixth-level famous weapons, and by analogy, he needs 2,187 low-level hammer soldiers.

Seven hands means...

"The more, the merrier."

Li Yuan didn't calculate it with his fingers, but he knew that it would require a lot of money. Even if he made it by himself, artificial iron materials would still be money.

Not to mention, the sacred fire furnace requires not only incense, but also gold and silver as firewood.

However, compared to the incense, this is a minor problem.

High-level incense is no easier to get than magic weapons...

"ah?"

Liu Zheng was a little confused.

"If you don't have enough money, you can come to me at any time to withdraw it."

Li Yuan took out five thousand taels of silver notes, added one thousand taels of gold notes and handed it to Liu Zheng, thinking in his mind, it would be great if he could build a few mines.

"yes."

Liu Zheng took the banknote and suppressed his doubts, thinking about how to get the matter done.

Normally, if you ask about the quantity, and the other party replies "the more, the better", then the quantity must not be a small amount.

"Brother Liu, please worry about me."

The shopkeeper was naturally very comfortable as he handed over his hands. Although he paid for it, Li Yuan was in a good mood. He took out a booklet from his arms:

"This is the booklet I have written these days. It is a little bit of my experience. You can look through it when you have nothing to do, and give a copy to Peiyao and the others..."

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Liu Zheng looked solemn and took it with both hands.

"Bring these thousand taels of gold tickets to Peiyao. Don't stop collecting the skins, bones, and blood of spirit beasts. If there are finished boots, get them too."

Li Yuan spent money like water and didn't feel distressed at all, which made Liu Zheng a little stunned.

He heard that before leaving the valley, the owner of the valley had given him a sum of gold and silver. Now that he thought about it, it was probably a huge amount.

"Well, that's all."

Li Yuan gave all the instructions he could. Liu Zheng was memorizing them silently at first, but later he had to take out a pen and paper to write them down.

"call!"

After sending Li Yuan away, Liu Zheng took a deep breath and realized that he was actually sweating.

"Brother Li's aura is getting heavier and heavier."

Liu Zheng was envious and a little awed. Even though he had been following Li Yuan all these years, he still felt that he could no longer see his back.

"This is also the best opportunity for my Liu family to rise to prominence!"

Liu Zheng made a decision in his mind and opened the booklet left by Li Yuan. He had no confidence in his martial arts talent and did not think that this notebook could help him.

But after opening it, I couldn't help but feel excited.

"The correspondence table between the White Ape Zhuang Kung Fu and the Ape Six Breathing Methods..."

"All the nodes from the small circulation of Qi and blood to the large circulation, and the sequence..."

"The order and tips for entering with strength..."

…

"this?"

Liu Zheng straightened up subconsciously and widened his eyes.

All martial arts secret books, as understood by the people of the past, are all mysterious and mysterious. People can look at the clouds and mist, but those with excellent understanding will not be able to understand their meaning.

But the booklet left by Li Yuan is different.

This is no longer easy to understand. It is not just pure vernacular. It even determines which breathing method corresponds to which posture of Zhuang Gong, and when the breathing method changes.

How Qi and blood circulate, every step is listed.

"Here, even if he is a fool, he can become stronger by following the pictures, right?"

Liu Zheng had already stood up. He was holding the booklet in his hands. He was pleasantly surprised and quickly immersed in it.

…

"If this doesn't work, then there's nothing I can do."

looking back

Chapter 64 The Hall of Beasts.

Sitting in the forging shop, Li Yuan murmured in his heart that he really wanted to give his old man a hand.

In this booklet, he carefully analyzed and sorted out all the steps he took from practicing martial arts to changing his body. This is not martial arts. According to the saying in his previous life, it is a strategy.

It only applies to people whose martial arts skills are very different from what he learned.

"Well, Senior Brother Yue and Senior Brother Wu should also be able to use it, and second brother, I'm also familiar with the Mang Niu Kung Fu. Well, by the way, I also have the Tiger Roar Kung Fu..."

After wandering along the long street, Li Yuan found a bodyguard agency and prepared to mail several other booklets and letters to his second brother, Yue Yunjin and others.

Hengshan City is too far away from Dechang Mansion, and ordinary escort agencies will not take it that far. Only the big escort agency will do this business.

Of course, besides escorting escorts, I would pick them up by the way.

Li Yuan visited several houses before he found one, paid the escort money, and then returned to Longshan.

…

…

Next, Li Yuan returned to his previous boring and regular days.

Get up before dawn and stand on the Dragon Zen Vajra Post. After dawn, go to Chun Gang Peak to forge iron. In the evening, go home and tease the tiger cubs and feed the little mice. After that, you can change your bones and practice contemplation.

After practicing martial arts for several years, Li Yuan's temperament has become more and more calm. Although he has many things he wants to do, he can hold back and wait patiently.

He commutes between Chungang Peak and his small courtyard every day, and sometimes goes to the library to read and borrow books.

Occasionally, I went to Monk Dou Yue to ask for advice about the Longchan Diamond Sutra, and I also went to look for Long Xinglie several times until the latter came down the mountain.

During this period, Wang Xuanying came to visit him. This time, he entrusted his sister and brother Yu Xuanji as the intermediary, and came to the door with generous gifts to apologize.

Li Daoye is not a vindictive person, he just wants his share of five years of spiritual rice, spiritual elixirs, and two mines outside the city.

The latter's flesh ached, but he still gritted his teeth and responded.

…

Years pass quietly like water.

As the north wind came overnight, the Longhu Mountains were covered with white frost.

In the early morning, Li Yuan opened the door and saw that the sky and the earth were completely white, with enough snow to cover his ankles. In the snow, the little tiger cub, whose figure had not changed at all in the past half a year, was pacing in the snow, leaving little plum blossom footprints. Coming back from a walk I don’t know where.

"Today's elixir."

Li Yuan flicked his finger, and a bottle of blood-increasing pill fell into the cat's paw.

"Woo~"

When the little tiger cub lowered his head, Li Yuan quickly touched it, and disappeared with a smile as the latter screamed.

In the past two months, he has changed his spiritual form three times, and all of them were in the form of spiritual birds. His body movements were faster and more flexible than before.

"The growth rate of this little tiger cub is actually no less than mine."

Walking slowly in the wind and snow, Li Yuan was a little surprised. If he hadn't been able to see progress every day with the blessing of Zhangbinglu, he would have been unable to endure such intense hard training.

This little cat sleeps, eats, and sleeps every day, and yet he makes progress so fast...

"Even if this little guy isn't one of the legendary beasts, I'm afraid it's not that different, right?"

Li Yuan thought in his heart and stopped.

What is in front of me is not Chun Gang Peak, but the "Hundred Beasts Peak", which belongs to the Third Hall of Longmen. Below the Hall of Hundreds of Beasts, it is also the ninth hall of Longhumen, occupying the largest entrance.

"Roar!"

Li Yuan looked at the mountains in the distance, and seemed to be able to hear the faint roar of dragons.

There are hundreds of kinds of spirit beasts in captivity in these mountains, and there are many kings of spirit beasts at the "Ten Thousand Gold Level". It is said that the descendants of the mounts of Zen Master Longyin and Chunyang Taoist are in this mountain.

The White Sandalwood Lingyang King and the Linghuo Ox King, who he had been thinking about for a long time, were also there.
