LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 3 Active Interception
The next morning, Li Jiu practiced in the courtyard, his postures constantly changing, sometimes like a crane flapping its wings, sometimes like a beast lying prone.
After practicing for about an hour, Li Jiu stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the big bowl, and gulped down a big mouthful of well water.
"Fine!" Li Jiu exhaled and spit out the stuffy air in his chest.
He calmed down and realized it for a moment.
Slow!
Too slow!
After practicing for an hour, the progress is minimal!
At this speed, it will take at least three years to break through the middle stage of Qi and Blood!
He doesn't have that much time to waste!
"I chose the magic skill, why take the normal route to become stronger!" Li Jiu said to himself.
After cultivating copper skin, there are two ways to go. One is to polish the membrane step by step.
After three years of copper skin training, you can start to break through the second layer of iron bones!
Another way is to continue to swallow copper essence. The copper skin will gradually change from golden to purple, indicating that the copper skin is fully developed and has a protective power far beyond the golden copper skin!
Even if you don't swallow too much copper essence at one time, there is still a risk of death!
Even a bold gambler, after successfully gambling his life, dare not gamble again easily!
Li Jiu is obviously not one of them!
The second way of cultivation, the breakthrough speed depends on the speed of your swallowing copper essence.
He is ready to take the second way. His life span has increased a lot, but it is far from enough. He has no time to slowly train the membrane.
"I have sixty taels on hand. According to the market, I can exchange it for six hundred kilograms of copper essence!"
"Copper skin needs to swallow ten times the amount of copper essence, which is one thousand four hundred kilograms! There is still a shortfall of eight hundred kilograms!"
Dong Dong Dong ~
The gate of the courtyard was knocked heavily, and the dilapidated wooden door trembled and could fall down at any time.
"Li Jiu! Open the door quickly!" Xia Qiu shouted.
Creak~
The door opened
Xia Qiu's hand was held, and he subconsciously exerted force to shake off the other's hand.
Not a single inch moved!
Li Jiu's big hand was like a pair of iron pliers, holding him tightly!
What a strong force!
"You..."
Xia Qiu just opened his mouth, and the moment he saw Li Jiu, he swallowed his words back like a duck caught by the neck.
Li Jiu was about half a head taller than him, and his figure was not as bloated as that of a horizontal martial artist. His muscles were more refined, and he looked very majestic, and his eyes were full of aggression.
"What are you doing?" Li Jiu had a blank expression on his face, and his voice was neither flat nor indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Xia Qiu forced a smile, "Well, Li Jiu, five people died in the gang yesterday, and the hall master ordered everyone to be vigilant and be careful of the Fubo Gang."
Li Jiu was surprised, it turned out that the Fubo Gang also took action yesterday, but only killed two, not as many as he did.
The last matter has not been resolved yet?
But it's okay. His original plan was to let the Fubo Gang take the blame, but he didn't expect that the Fubo Gang would take the blame themselves. This way, he would be less likely to be suspected.
He needed time to become stronger. When he was strong enough, even if someone suspected him, they would not dare to say it.
The reason why it was considered that the Fubo Gang did it was mainly because the Fubo Gang's main practice was Fanjiang Gong, which was a practice that specialized in Qi and strength, and it greatly improved Qi and strength. At the same time, the Fubo Gang warriors were more than 100 pounds stronger than the Black Fox Gang warriors in the early stage of Qi and Blood. The disadvantage was that they were slower and less endurance.
The Fubo Gang's favorite way of fighting was to suppress others with force. Those who were defeated by the Fubo Gang had a miserable end, and broken hands and legs were the norm.
"Who died?" Li Jiu asked.
"Captain Li and Tiezhu, as well as your fellow villager Ajin and his two brothers."
What!
"Ajin is dead! Damn Fubo Gang!" Li Jiu said.
Xia Qiu recalled the miserable state of Ajin and the other two, and nodded, "The Fubo Gang warriors who attacked Ajin and the other two were extremely brutal. The three died miserably. The leader said that the other party was at least a mid-stage Qi and Blood warrior, so he could beat Ajin like that. It is possible that the leader of the Fubo Gang attacked him!"
Li Jiu let go of Xia Qiu's wrist, "When will Ajin's funeral money be issued?"
What?
Xia Qiu was stunned, and his mind did not turn around for a while, and he said casually: "The gang is notifying the family of the deceased, and the funeral money will be issued in the afternoon."
"Get out of the way! Remember to close the door!" Li Jiu said and walked out.
After a while, Xia Qiu suddenly understood what Li Jiu meant, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock.
Is Li Jiu not interested in Ajin's funeral money?
He remembered that Ajin Gang collected Li Jiu's funeral money on his behalf a few days ago! Only a few days later, Li Jiu turned around and asked for Ajin's funeral money?
Hiss~
Xia Qiu felt a burning pain on his hand. He looked down and saw several handprints on the back of his hand. He looked at Li Jiu's back in doubt, "What's going on? How come Li Jiu's strength has become so great! Has Li Jiu become a warrior?"
But Li Jiu was still an ordinary person a few days ago, and he had never even touched the practice of martial arts!
Could it be that he was practicing the magic method of swallowing demons?
Half an hour later, Li Jiu walked out of the blacksmith shop.
He bought fifty copper essence beads and agreed to pick them up in the evening.
After one night, sixty taels of silver were left with only ten taels.
"Practicing martial arts is really expensive. It makes sense that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts." Li Jiu murmured.
In fact, he was still saving money. Normal warriors spend more on martial arts. Buying a pill that helps to train the body costs at least five taels of silver, and the price is higher if the quality is slightly better.
Five taels of silver are all used to buy pills, and they won't splash much waves after eating them. At most, it saves three or four months of hard training.
A warrior without any background can at most take a pill every once in a while to assist in his training.
Only warriors with good backgrounds can eat pill pills like jelly beans. Of course, they cannot eat them without restriction. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison. All pill pills contain erysipelas. Taking too much pill pills will affect the circulation of qi and blood and make the whole body uncomfortable.
Walking into West Street and seeing a familiar stall, Li Jiu found an empty table and sat down.
"Little sparrow, here are twelve meats to be cooked on fire, add more fat, and a stack of peanuts." Li Jiu shouted.
After becoming a warrior, not only does his strength increase, but his appetite also increases. He eats less and cannot maintain qi and blood in his body.
When his energy and blood are exhausted, he cannot even exert half of his strength.
Warriors with stronger Qi and blood will eat more. Li Jiu has long heard that the leader of the Black Fox Gang eats half a cow in one meal. His terrible appetite also means that the leader of the Black Fox Gang is strong, otherwise he will not be able to suppress the others. Gangs.
There is a saying that one can roughly judge the strength of a person by how much he or she eats.
Although not entirely correct, it is somewhat believable.
A slightly green face appeared at the window of the shop, "Okay, Brother Ninth, please wait a moment."
Li Jiu lives not far from here, and the fire prices in the store are cheap and affordable. Li Jiu comes here often, and as time goes by, he becomes familiar with the young people in the store.
The young man's name was Ning Marrow, and he often called the other party Little Sparrow.
The fire shop is very small and there is no waiter. It is all managed by the little sparrow and my mother.
After a while, the little sparrow brought out two plates of fire, "Brother Ninth, I'm so happy today. I've eaten so much."
"I feel like I'm going to get rich today." Li Jiu picked up a hot pot. The freshly baked pot was still very hot. There was a lot of meat inside, which was fat and thin. It was oily and very tempting.
After one sip, the juice seeped out and burned, making his fingers sticky.
"Hey, that's great. I'll give you the peanuts. Can you take them home to eat?" said the little sparrow.
Li Jiu took a piece of Huoshao in two mouthfuls, raised his head and looked at the little sparrow who was hesitant to speak, "What's wrong? Is there anyone else booking a reservation at the Huoshao shop?"
The little sparrow quietly looked back at the store, leaned down, and whispered: "Brother Ninth, there are three people from the Fubo Gang inside."
Li Jiu grabbed the second Huoshao as if nothing had happened, "Do you know me?"
"The leader is Wang San, and I don't know the other two."
Li Jiu paused for a moment, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. I know them. We haven't seen them for a few days. Let's catch up on old times."
The little sparrow was stunned. Isn't Li Jiu from the Black Fox Gang?
How did you get to know the Fubo gang?
They seem very familiar and have a good relationship.
At this moment, three strong men walked out of the store. They were all tall and burly, with dark skin and a lingering fishy smell.
When the little sparrow heard the commotion, he walked to Wang San with a smile on his face, rubbed his hands, "Thank you for your compliments. Thank you for your consideration. A total of seventy copper coins."
Wang San bent down and put his ferocious face close to the young man, "What did you say?"
The little sparrow was startled, trembled twice, and said in a low voice, "That...seventy copper coins..."
Wang San sneered and patted the fearful young man on the shoulder, "Let's keep it in the account and treat it as this month's payment."
"But...I have already paid the test fee to the Black Fox Gang this month."
The three strong men laughed loudly and looked at the young man as if he were a fool. Huang Cang, the bald man on the left, patted the young man's cheek, "The weather has changed in West Street! Remember to prepare another payment for the exam tonight. I hope to see you when we come back, otherwise, your mother will go to Chunhuafang to visit you. "
Chunhuafang is the largest hook-up place in Qinghe County. People who are sold into Chunhuafang cannot be called human beings.
The young man's face turned red, but he didn't dare to fight back.
The other party is a warrior!
He had personally seen the other party throw away a five hundred kilogram stone lion!
If the opponent is angered, his small body cannot even withstand a punch!
ah!
Huang Cang suddenly cried out in pain, half of the world in his eyes was missing, and he hurriedly shouted: "There is a sneak attack by a crossbowman!"
Wang San glanced at it and found that what was stuck in Huang Cang's eye socket was not a crossbow arrow, but a chopstick!
What a strength! The effect of throwing chopsticks into crossbow arrows!
He looked around and quickly found the attacker.
"A coward from the Black Fox Gang?"
Li Jiu stood up slowly and said calmly: "We meet again, my money bag."
The three strong men from the Fubo Gang in front of him were the same people who almost hacked him to death six days ago!
To be precise, they are Huang Cang and Bai Chen among the three!
Wang San, the young leader of the Fubo Gang, led a sneak attack on Li Jiu's team with several of his younger brothers. Li Jiu was unlucky. He was first affected by the battle between Wang San and the leader of the Black Fox Gang, and then was attacked by Huang Cang and Bai Ge. Cut several times.
