"I saved up to buy some secret medicines for Yi Jin, but this Jin-Protecting Pill is hard to get. I asked Gongsun Xiu before, and he said that these Jin-Protecting Pills are not easily sold by any family or force, because to some extent, a Jin-Protecting Pill is what makes a Yi Jin warrior."
The only thing that gave Su Hao a slight headache was that impacting the Yi Jin realm was not as good as strengthening the bones.
The tendons and veins are fragile, and if one is not careful, they will be damaged or even broken in the process of Yi Jin. With the medical level of this era, if the tendons and veins are damaged, there is a high probability that the person will become disabled. Therefore, many bone-forging warriors cannot make any progress and stop at the bone-forging stage. They dare not continue to strive for the Yi Jin stage, for fear of becoming disabled due to a misstep.
The Hujin Pills can be taken during the Yijin Exercise to protect the tendons and reduce the risk of damage to the tendons.
Each force and sect, once they got the Yi Jin Pills, only their best disciples had the opportunity to use them to reach the Yi Jin realm!
"I have nearly 100 taels of silver saved up now, but I don't think it's enough to buy a tendon-protecting pill. Don't worry, just take your time."
Although Su Hao is confident in his talent and potential, he thinks that even without the tendon-protecting pills, he will be able to complete the step of changing tendons in one swoop. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one!
If the tendons and veins are damaged, the consequence will be becoming disabled.
Throughout history, countless warriors with extraordinary talents made mistakes at the stage of Yi Jin, and their future was ruined!
Self-confidence does not mean arrogance. If you can avoid risks under certain conditions, then Su Hao naturally wants to be 100% sure and control his destiny in his own hands. Su Hao is not in a hurry. He is still young and has plenty of time.
A month had passed since Su Hao completed his first bone forging. On this day, Su Hao went to the forging shop to work as usual.
But when he arrived at the weapon forge, he saw a group of blacksmiths huddled together and whispering.
"What happened?"
Su Hao walked over and asked puzzledly.
"Master Su...Master Chen Zheng didn't come yesterday, and we thought he was sick. Some of us went to his house to look for him, but found that he was gone."
A blacksmith said respectfully that although Su Hao was young, he was a blacksmith and was a mainstay in the forge.
"Master Chen is missing?"
Su Hao frowned slightly when he heard that. Chen Xizheng was his guide to join the Weapon Forge Shop. As a forger in the shop, he had a very good relationship with Su Hao, and the two often discussed forging skills.
And Chen Guizheng himself must have asked for leave if he had something to do, so it was really strange that he suddenly disappeared like this.
"And Master Wang and Master Wu are missing too. What happened?"
Not only Chen 꽮正, but other blacksmith apprentices were also worried at this moment, as their masters had also disappeared.
"Manager Xu."
At this time, everyone who was talking suddenly bowed respectfully and saw the burly Xu Huanzhen walking towards them.
Xu Huanzhen's expression was slightly serious as he said, "I already know about the incident. I reported it to the police immediately and asked my acquaintances to help me get the news. Master Chen and the others will be fine. Everyone, please go back to your places first."
"yes."
Everyone should.
As the shopkeeper of the weapon forging shop, Xu Huanzhen had great prestige in the shop. After he said so, everyone naturally restrained themselves.
"Who kidnapped Master Xu and the others? Most of Master Chen and the others have practiced martial arts. Although they have hardly ever fought with anyone, they are still at the Bone Tempering Realm. The person who made them disappear without a sound must be very powerful."
The people's hearts were temporarily calmed down and the weapon shop was able to operate normally. However, Xu Huanzhen was not as calm as he appeared. He was thinking secretly in his heart and felt a headache.
There is no doubt that the sudden disappearance of several blacksmiths is definitely not a coincidence, but someone is secretly doing it.
The person who made the three Bone Tempering Realm warriors disappear silently was definitely not an ordinary person. Xu Huanzhen had no choice but to use all his strength to investigate!
"Master Chen and the others are missing? Could it be that the weapon forging shop has offended someone?"
Su Hao went to the forging room to work, while he was also thinking about what had happened recently.
The Weapon Forging Shop does business and does not get involved in any disputes. He has been in the Weapon Forging Shop for nearly two years and there has been nothing to do. However, several blacksmiths have disappeared recently, making Su Hao wonder if someone has been spying on the business of the Weapon Forging Shop.
At the same time, he also hoped that Chen Yuzheng and others were not in danger of their lives. Without knowing the specific situation, Su Hao could not do anything but wait for news.
Two days later, Su Hao left the weapon forging shop and returned home.
It was late at night and the entire Changqing City was plunged into darkness. People who had been busy all day went to bed at sunset to rest and recuperate in preparation for the new day.
But the courtyard was not peaceful at night.
In the simply furnished bedroom, Su Hao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly seemed to realize something. He opened his eyes abruptly, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Someone is trying to sneak into my house. Could it be that the group of people who caused Master Chen and the others to disappear are also targeting me?"
Su Hao tempered his body and strengthened his strength, and then strengthened his bones. His senses were so sharp that he could immediately detect any movement within a radius of ten or twenty feet. Su Hao also heard more than one breathing sound, which stopped outside the courtyard wall, as if observing something. This made Su Hao's murderous intent flash through his mind.
A few days ago, Chen Xiaozheng and others disappeared. Su Hao also felt that this group of people seemed to be arresting blacksmiths with superb forging skills. Would they also target Xiao himself?
And if someone breaks in after a few days, it is very likely that they are the group of people who caused Chen Yuzheng and others to disappear!
"Then let's see how sacred you are!"
Su Hao stood up, his eyes flickering faintly in the darkness.
"Capture that Su kid as soon as possible. The owner of this weapon forging shop is said to be a Yijin warrior, but our people are also keeping an eye on his movements. Just don't provoke him head-on."
"I can catch a brat by myself, why would it take three of us?"
At this moment, outside the courtyard wall, three men in black were whispering and observing the movements in the yard.
In the weapon forging shop, the only one that they were afraid of was the owner Xu Huanzhen, but as long as they paid attention to his movements and did not conflict with him, it would be easy to deal with other blacksmiths.
The three of them observed for a while, then flipped over the towering wall and fell into the yard.
However, just as the three of them landed on the ground, they were startled and saw a man in black standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at them, by the flower bed not far away.
"Three of you, why are you so slow in doing things? I have been waiting for you for a while."
Su Hao stared at the three of them and said calmly.
"Discovered? This kid is so smart!"
The three men in black looked at each other in surprise. They were all at the Bone Tempering level, and they all restrained their auras. It seemed that the enemy had been waiting for them before they even climbed over the wall!
Calming down his emotions, a tall man in the middle said, "Master Su, I heard that you have superb forging skills. Our employer wants you to help him. Why don't you come with us? We don't want to hurt you."
"Your employer is looking for me? Who is he and what is his purpose in looking for me?"
Su Hao asked back in confusion, it seemed that the disappearance of Chen Yuzheng and others was also caused by this group of people.
"Master Su, we are away from home, and we still have to abide by the code of conduct. Naturally, I won't tell you who your employer is, but you will know if you come with us."
The black-haired man with a gloomy face on the right chuckled.
"In that case, let me see if your bones are harder than your mouth!"
Su Hao said coldly that he would arrest these three people and interrogate them to find out who was behind the plot, whether it was the blacksmith of the weapon shop or even his own hands!
"Arrogant! You don't know your own limitations!"
A tall and thin man on the left suddenly had a gloomy and cold look in his eyes. There were a bunch of blacksmiths in the weapon forge. Although most of them practiced martial arts, their fighting ability was very weak. The only one they were afraid of was the shopkeeper Xu Huanzhen. This guy might have enough resources and a certain foundation in martial arts, but he was not good enough in front of them.
The moment the words fell, the tall and thin figure suddenly moved, and his shadow flashed, leaving a residual image, moving left and right, making it difficult to distinguish his position. It was dazzling, as if one was divided into many!
"This light skill is indeed superb."
The other two nodded secretly. Among the three, the tall and thin one had the best body movement and lightness skills.
Su Hao stood there in a daze, seemingly confused and at a loss as to what to do by the tall and thin man's movement that left a residual shadow.
녦Suddenly, Su Hao didn't even turn his head back, and reached back with his right hand. This grab seemed slow, but it was actually so fast that it gave people an illusion to the naked eye, as fast as lightning!
"laugh!"
The afterimage dissipated, and the tall and thin man's face was full of shock and fear, but he saw Su Hao easily grabbed his neck with one hand as if he was catching a chicken.
“Let…let go…”
The tall and thin man struggled hard, but like a child, Su Hao grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up with one hand, and kicked with his feet off the ground, but he could not shake Su Hao's grip at all. His face turned red due to suffocation.
"I'll ask you only once, who sent you here?"
Su Hao tilted his head slightly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
"No...I won't tell you..."
The tall and thin man had a face full of fear, and he squeezed out a few words with difficulty, but he was unwilling to betray his employer right away.
“Crack!”
Su Hao was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He pinched hard with his fingers. With a series of teeth-grinding bone-cracking sounds, the tall and thin man's neck bones and flesh were crushed into a ball of mud by the huge force, and his struggling hands and feet fell limply at his sides.
His eyes widened. Su Hao really only asked him once and then killed him cleanly!
He casually threw the body of the tall and thin man away, as if throwing away a garbage bag. This group of people were hired by someone. Su Hao didn't believe that they were all stubborn and unwilling to betray their employer. He killed one first to make an example of him. There were still two anyway!
