Chapter 14 014: The caravan left the city, red-scaled arms
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was three days later.
In the past three days, through Fu Bo's frequent door-to-door visits, some businessmen who were once reluctant to sell their old items were finally willing to part with them.
Even after some bargaining by Fubo, the price was even lower than the previous purchase price.
It can also be seen that the businessmen in Laiyuan City are having a tough time these days.
The accumulation of goods and the inability to turn around funds are all pain points.
However, because of the relationship with the Wang family's caravan, more businessmen felt that the pressing days were about to pass. As the goods were transported, good times would come, so they gritted their teeth and carried on without selling some old items.
"It cost more than one thousand taels to acquire six old objects, and harvested a total of twenty-four rays of supernatural power. It's not bad. It can be regarded as making up for the loss of supernatural power in recent cultivation and there is still a surplus."
Inside the inn, a small stove was burning a pot of tea.
Chu Ge sat cross-legged on the carpet, looking at the ninety-eight rays of supernatural power lingering in Long Zhong's heart, feeling very satisfied.
With his current tolerance of meridians and acupuncture points, he can only consume four strands of supernatural power every day during practice.
But after the four strands of strange power were completely absorbed, it was equivalent to sixteen days of training with all his strength, and the speed was accelerated four times.
The twenty-four rays of supernatural power cost more than a thousand taels, which seemed to only be enough for him to practice for six days, which was not cost-effective.
But you must know that for ordinary people to practice martial arts to increase Qi and blood, the further they go, the more difficult it becomes.
Because the human body has limits, it needs to be supplemented with high nutrients from medicinal diet and a large amount of meat to increase Qi and blood.
Sometimes even when you reach a certain level, you can't gain anything just by eating medicated meat.
However, Chu Ge does not need to eat a lot of medicated meat. He only needs to refine his powers to steadily increase his energy and blood. His cultivation efficiency has been greatly improved.
It also saves money on buying precious medicinal foods and meat. In fact, it saves a lot.
"It's a pity that I haven't acquired a single spiritual fish recently. Now that the weather is freezing, there are indeed fewer fishermen and there is a lack of resources."
Chu Ge secretly sighed that cultivation was not easy. He poured himself a cup of hot tea and walked to the window. He saw on the spacious street not far away, the porters hired by the Wang family were busy transporting goods to the prepared mule carts.
The morning was cold and there was a slight layer of frost on the road.
More than a dozen mules were kicking the ground, puffing out white mist from their breaths.
A counting house was gathering with some businessmen to hand over documents and procedures.
Not long after, some goods were tied to horse-drawn carriages or mule carts, passed slowly and unhurriedly through the streets, and pushed towards the northeastern city gate.
"The Wang family is moving really fast. It seems that they still need to transport it by land. Also, if someone cuts off the boat or stops it on the water, the boat may be destroyed and everyone will be killed. Money and money will be lost, and there is no way to escape."
Chu Ge thought to himself, then turned to look at the direction of the city government office. He couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that there was no movement.
It's impossible that City Lieutenant Tian Youji didn't know that the Wang family had staged such a big battle.
The escort team composed of two bone-training realm experts and a dozen flesh-training and skin-training warriors was indeed powerful.
Even the Thirteen Golden Gun Bandits, who were extremely vicious horse bandits, did not dare to provoke them.
But there is a stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Incense Sect near the county government office.
The Thirteen Golden Gun bandits have long since died. A merchant's water transport cargo ship was robbed a while ago, and it may be the work of the Incense Cult of Heaven and Earth.
Now that the Wang Family Guards are escorting so many merchants out of the city, it is hard to guarantee that the iron-clad foreign envoy at the Heaven and Earth Incense Cult stronghold will not be tempted.
"If I were that iron-clad foreign envoy, I would definitely not let this opportunity pass by. Tian Youji would also have expected that he was holding back. Could he be planning something?"
Chu Ge looked at the calm street beneath the hustle and bustle, and had a premonition that something big might happen next. Underneath this calmness, there was actually an undercurrent surging.
If Tian Youji doesn't leave the city, he won't rush out of the city to mind his own business.
But if Tian Youji started to fight with the iron-branded foreign envoy, he would not mind looking for opportunities to beat up the lost dog and kill the iron-branded foreign envoy to avoid future troubles.
"The storm is coming. With a steady hand, it's time to inherit your talent."
Chu Ge closed the door and window of the room, walked to the hall and sat down, looking at the dragon clock on his wrist.
Within the heart of the clock, the talent of the red-scaled claw fish lay quietly.
The inheritance of this talent requires compatibility, and after inheritance, it requires the loss of supernatural power to maintain and display it. Every time it is used, the spirit fish's bloodline power will lose one point.
Chu Ge didn't hesitate anymore and quickly inherited this talent.
The next moment.
A cold breath quickly flowed out of the dragon bell on his wrist, turning into thousands of strands like liquid and quickly flowing between his hands. Chu Ge only felt that this power spread to the meridians of his arms like lightning, and he felt as if his whole body was being eaten by poisonous ants. Every inch of his skin was about to crack, and his hair was standing on end.
Looking down, he saw that the muscles under the skin of both arms were bulging, like black broad beans. As the strange force in the Dragon Bell was injected, the skin quickly turned into thick horny skin, and the fur was connected to form pieces of light red scales. First.
"Clang——"
The nails on the ten fingers also extended one by one, making a clanking sound like sharp blades.
All this sounds slow, but in fact it happens in just a breath.
Chu Ge raised a pair of forearms that were obviously thick and covered with light red scales. He looked surprised and could feel the explosive power filled in them.
The talent compatibility inherited this time seems to be quite good. It is a high-level compatibility, not as useless as the flying fish shark fin last time.
He stood up and walked to the wall, grabbed it casually, and without much force, the stone wall beside him was easily penetrated and crushed to create a hole, and the stone powder slipped from his hand like slag.
In this process, the supernatural power poured into both arms lost an imperceptible trace.
With his current strength, he can also rub stones into dust and break gold and iron.
But it is definitely not as easy as the alienation of the arms now.
This pair of arms seems to have been demonized, like the legendary monster martial arts alienation state. Although it is only strengthened to the forearms and requires the loss of supernatural powers, it is still a very good trump card.
Next, Chu Ge tried to test the defensive power of the scale armor with his portable weapon.
He was very satisfied with the result.
The scale armor is almost invulnerable to ordinary weapons. Even if you slash hard, it will be difficult to leave a mark.
You must know that even if he performs the Crouching Tiger Kung Fu and resists the swords of blood-changing warriors of the same realm, his skin and flesh will still be torn open.
"It's just that the power loss is relatively large to activate the talent differentiation, which requires a ray of power. In the process of using it just now, another ray was lost.
I wonder if you don't use it on weekdays, it will take a loss to maintain the talent. How much power."
Chu Ge calculated carefully and secretly clicked his tongue.
This inherited talent is really a big drain on supernatural power.
But whenever you gain power, you have to pay a price.
Relatively speaking, the price/performance ratio of this talent is very good.
In a real battle, victory or defeat is often determined in just a few breaths, and in fact, too much power cannot be wasted.
"Going back, we need to collect more old objects and refine more powers. We don't have much in stock."
Chu Ge glanced at the only ninety-five strands of supernatural power left in Long Zhong and shook his head slightly.
He exited the talent state and his hands quickly returned to normal. Only the cool breath flowing in his arms represented the existence of this talent.
Soon, it was past noon.
Fu Bo arrived at the inn carrying a pile of needlework, fabrics and other embroidery materials he had purchased.
While Chu Ge is practicing, he plans to further study his embroidery skills and create a batch of hand-embroidered equipment for himself in the future to improve his self-protection capabilities.
But before he got this thing, before Fu Bo could sit down and take a sip of water, bursts of shouting and the sound of gongs suddenly came from the street outside, causing a chaotic commotion.
"It's not good, it's not good! The Wang family's caravan outside the city was robbed in Shilipo! There's already a fight!"
"The people who came back for questioning were all seriously injured and unconscious. I'm afraid it's already too late!"
Chu Ge's expression changed slightly, and he quickly came to the balcony and looked down.
The streets were quite chaotic, and it seemed that some of the injured from the caravan had escaped.
Just a moment ago, the Wang Family Guards had confidently escorted the caravan of many merchants away, but they fell into trouble so quickly.
"Master, this, this is too messy."
When Uncle Fu saw such chaos, the flesh on his face was shaking nervously, "Maybe you are right, Master, to sell off your property now. Linyuan City has already begun to be in chaos. These robbers are really bold."
Chu Ge's eyebrows rose, and he quickly looked down at the county government office not far away, "The Heaven and Earth Incense Sect's stronghold has really taken action. What are Tian Youji waiting for?"
He crossed his arms across his chest, feeling the power of the red scale claws flowing through them, and his fingers moved slightly
