Chapter 4 Small Town Girl
"Waving a folding fan, you look so arrogant!" Li Wudao had a confident smile on his face and casually patted the venom off his body.
Master Lan thought the poison came from the liquid, but it was actually in the smell. Li Wudao had already prepared the antidote, so everything went smoothly.
Looking at the corpses of warriors scattered all over Yilong Mountain, the warriors he once considered powerful were now lying dead on the ground because of him. Li Wudao rubbed his injured chest, feeling quite proud.
The water in the pond was still green and calm, the old trees were still emerald green, and under the bright sunshine, Li Wudao began to collect the corpses.
These warriors had high levels of cultivation and were strong enough to obtain wealth. Now that they were killed by Li Wudao, everything became his trophies.
Three hundred taels of silver, some herbs and pills, a book on cultivation techniques, and some miscellaneous items—this was what Li Wudao got!
One tael of silver could buy three hundred buns. On a normal day, Li Wudao worked tirelessly for a month and only earned five taels of silver. To earn just this one tael, Li Wudao would have to work without food or drink for five years.
The huge wealth made Li Wudao instantly delighted, and he felt like a serf who had risen from the dead and was singing!
"It's not advisable to stay here for long." Li Wudao looked at the corpses of warriors lying all over the green mountains and rivers, packed up his things, and left immediately.
For a common man to kill a warrior, even with poison, would be enough to attract attention. Li Wudao was in extremely poor health and carrying a considerable amount of wealth, so he naturally chose to retreat first.
Return to Yilong Town!
At present, warriors are rampant in Yilong Mountain. Li Wudao found the bitter grass on these warriors and decided to return to Yilong Town first.
Xiao Wuzi's palm power was extremely strong. Although his strength was weakened, he still made Li Wudao feel pain all the way.
When Li Wudao returned to the town, night had already fallen. The sky was dark, but it could not hide the brightness in Geren's heart.
Crossing the main street and passing the side streets, Li Wudao arrived at the edge of the town, a cluster of low stone houses. This was the slum area of the town and also Geren's residence.
"Dried nuts! I'm so lucky today that I picked some bitter grass?" In a low stone house, a bright and charming girl half exposed her body and greeted Li Wudao.
Li Wudao recognized the girl by the flickering light of the oil lamp in the stone house.
This girl's name was Qi Meng, and she was Li Wudao's neighbor across the street. Li Wudao had no parents, so she was the only one he could talk to. This girl was quite wild, mocking Geren for his thin frame and calling him a dried nut.
"Silly girl, can't you call me brother? Cough... With my charm, a mere bitter grass can be easily caught." Li Wudao was in a good mood and couldn't help teasing her, but unfortunately his chest still hurt slightly, causing him to cough.
"Hey! Are you injured? Are you not going to die?" The girl had a keen eye. Seeing Li Wudao's pale face and coughing while holding his chest, she instantly guessed that he was injured. She seemed a little confused, looking Li Wudao up and down, with a sense of unfamiliarity.
Li Wudao used to be a worthless person, always keeping his head down and obeying orders. But now, with a confident smile on his face, his demeanor has changed dramatically.
"You silly girl, do you know how to speak? Come over and help me!" Li Wudao rolled his eyes in annoyance and said this.
Qi Meng snorted coldly and stepped lightly from the stone house. She was in her prime, with a hint of wildness in her features, revealing a unique charm. Her long, slightly washed-out blue dress accentuated her graceful figure.
Although she was just a weak-looking girl, she moved very quickly and was beside Li Wudao in the blink of an eye.
Qi Meng is a warrior!
Li Wudao looked at Qi Meng's agile figure with a hint of envy in his eyes. His Dantian was originally blocked, so he couldn't practice. But now that his past life memories have awakened, he has found a way to resolve it.
You only need to prepare the herbs using ancient methods, not only can you unblock your Dantian, you can even gain top talent and embark on the path of martial arts!
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Qi Meng said as she pushed open the door of Li Wudao's house and helped him in.
Li Wudao's stone house was filled with various herbs, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance. Qi Meng's nose trembled slightly, and after smelling the medicinal fragrance, she smiled with satisfaction. In an instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming. Under the dim light, the girl's beauty was particularly dazzling.
"You silly girl, I just knew you were after my medicine! I'm going to move to Fu Street tomorrow, so I can't let you get away with it." Li Wudao had the idea of moving and said as he applied the medicine.
Rich in martial arts but poor in literature, the medicinal power emitted from his house is very beneficial. It can relax the meridians and speed up the practice.
"Pfft! Move to Fu Street? You?" Qi Meng didn't consider herself an outsider. She was sitting at the wooden table drinking tea. When she heard Li Wudao's words, she spat out a mouthful of tea with a look of shock on her pretty face.
Li Wudao was furious when he saw Qi Meng's expression. This wild girl actually looked down on him!
The night forcefully suppressed the afterglow. In the darkness, Li Wudao's stone house looked so small and full of uneven rubble, revealing its crude construction.
The seven or eight shelves in the stone house were filled with various dried herbs haphazardly placed. The only things left were an ancient wooden table, three chairs of various styles, a worn-out tea set, rotten tea made of chaff, and an old bed with a stone cushion in the corner.
Poverty and desolation are the only themes here, no wonder Qi Meng was so shocked.
"Humph! Who are you looking down on, you silly girl?" Li Wudao waved his hand and threw out a purse, which slammed onto the wooden table with a clang. He raised his brow and said proudly, "Here! Use it to buy some wine for your father!"
Qi Meng looked surprised, then raised her hand slightly, opened the purse, and four ingots of silver jumped into her eyes.
Each ingot weighs five taels, a total of twenty taels of silver!
"This... so much!" Qi Mengmei's eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise.
It would have taken Li Wudao half a year of frugality to save up twenty taels of silver, but now he just threw it out without blinking an eye.
"Hehe!" Li Wudao heard Qi Meng's shocked cry, laughed triumphantly, and said, "It's just a small amount of money. Go buy some wine for your dad!"
In the battle of Yilongshan, although Li Wudao only obtained 300 taels of silver, the herbs were worth 1,000 taels of silver.
Considering Li Wudao's current wealth, twenty taels is indeed just a small amount of money!
Qi Meng didn't bother to be polite with Li Wudao. After looking Li Wudao up and down, she left with her purse in her hand, looking a little dazed.
As long as you have enough money, you can live on the main street, let alone the side streets!
Looking at his devastated home, Li Wudao sighed and picked up a bamboo basket to count today's harvest.
Li Wudao found a cultivation method from Master Lan, called "Youlan Sutra".
According to the fragmentary memories of his previous life, Li Wudao knew that martial arts were divided into three grades: high, medium and low, and the Youlan Sutra was undoubtedly a low-grade martial arts.
However, this has nothing to do with Li Wudao for the time being. He still needs to clear his dantian before he can practice.
Then Li Wudao began to sort the herbs, classifying them one by one and placing them on the medicine shelf in the house.
After finishing all the work, it was already late. After changing the dressing on his chest again, Li Wudao lay down on the bed to rest.
