Xuanjinmu is a mutated wood. If it is old, it is harder than iron.
It was just used in large quantities by the army, and was cut down extensively, almost to the point of extinction.
Nowadays, the price of Xuanjin wood with a long history in the market is very expensive. A ten-year-old one costs five taels of silver per tael, and the price of a thirty-year-old one soars to twenty taels.
And there is no demand for it.
"Of course, you can use inferior black iron wood, but the power will be discounted, and it would be a waste of the red gold arrowhead."
Xia He nodded after hearing this, and probably understood what was going on.
"Master, keep the red gold here first, and I will find a way to deal with the black gold wood."
"Okay, but if you want to find it yourself, you have to be quick."
"When the mountains are closed in winter, there will be no more black gold wood for sale in the market."
After bidding farewell to the craftsmen, he also said goodbye to Zhou Bo.
Xia He thought about it and decided to go to the mountains as soon as possible.
The Xuanjinmu is not easy to find, but with his tracking skills, there should still be hope, he just has to go deeper.
He had already drunk a bowl of blood-replenishing soup in the morning, so he practiced martial arts as planned in the training ground in the morning.
[Skill: Blood Refining. Basic Blood Refining for Soldiers (Mountain Collapse)]
[Progress: 12/200]
[Effect: None]
[Skill: Blood Refining. Basic Blood Refining for Soldiers (First Edition)]
[Progress: 19/200]
[Effect: None]
With the help of the blood-replenishing soup, the speed was at least twice as fast.
However, if I continue at this pace, it will take me a long time to cultivate the first strand of qi and blood!
"Although the blood refining chapter of Daqin is not demanding on one's physique, the progress is really slow... But fortunately, it is the most stable after cultivating qi and blood."
At noon, he was sweating profusely after training, and sat down with Wang Erpang beside the training ground to rest. He took out a piece of dried wild boar meat from his arms, tore it in two and threw one piece to Erpang.
"Thank you, Brother He!"
"What's wrong? The relationship has faded, and you don't call me godfather anymore?"
"Hey, how can you scream like that every day? Don't you think so, godfather?"
Xia He laughed dumbly and asked while chewing the wild boar meat in his mouth,
"Which fist-stance move have you practiced?"
"Brother He, you're almost thirty."
Wang Erpang's face was obviously very excited.
I'm afraid even he himself didn't expect that he could make such progress in less than a month.
Xia He's mouth twitched.
His speed is due to his skills, his determination and the constant eating of meat.
Wang Erpang relies purely on his own natural talent.
"Could it be that my son Erpang has the qualities of an emperor?"
Xia He muttered to himself while stuffing all the meat in his hand into his mouth.
The wild boar meat we brought back weighed nearly 100 kilograms. We ate a lot of it and half of it was left, but the attribute points were not coming in yet. This progress is really frustrating.
Since attribute points cannot be relied upon, if one wants to quickly develop Qi and blood, one needs to advance the practice of "Blood Evil Skill".
After lunch, he took out a grain of golden blood salt and put it into his mouth in a deserted place. It worked as expected.
[Skills: Blood Refining. Blood Evil Skill (Blood Coagulation)]
[Progress: 10/200]
[Effect: None]
So in the afternoon he clearly felt that the speed of blood refining had increased, and the progress had increased by more than ten points, which was very gratifying.
This thing is too evil. You can't eat too much at one time, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it.
Time passed quickly and it was soon approaching dusk. After practicing martial arts for a whole day, Xia He wiped the sweat off his face and asked for leave for tomorrow in the camp.
"Er Pang, come with me to the mountains tomorrow."
"good!"
After leaving the military camp and returning to the town, Xia He went to the shop specifically to buy a piece of cloth for Li Huilan to make her a new dress.
But I didn't expect that when I got to the door, the store that had previously done good business had gone bankrupt.
Not only that, many businesses on the entire street were closed and deserted.
"Hey, Brother He, the prices in town have risen sharply. I can't even afford food, so how can I have money to make clothes?"
Xia He nodded and said,
"The blood disease has been very serious recently, and people are dying every day. Go home quickly, and you should be careful too, Erpang."
On the way, Xia He frowned.
The blood disease is still spreading, and the antidote is still monopolized by certain pharmacies, but behind the scenes are the martial arts schools that are supporting them.
He originally thought that if Kong Hu was killed, the blood disease would be under control, but now it seems that Kong Hu is not the mastermind, there must be someone behind him!
"Could it be Captain Fan?"
Xia He felt a chill in his heart.
Apart from him, who else has such courage!
This person was friendly to him and even gave him rewards, but who knew how vicious he was in private?
"If it's really him, is he doing this to make money?"
Xia He was full of worry and hurried back home.
As soon as I got closer, I saw several strange figures standing at the door.
He immediately slowed down his pace, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
After taking a closer look, I realized that these people were completely different from ordinary people in every way.
They all have firm muscles and broad, strong palms, and you can tell at first glance that they have practiced martial arts.
Seeing Xia He appear, the middle-aged man standing in the front immediately came forward with a smile.
As if he had sensed the vigilance in Xia He's eyes, the middle-aged man quickly explained, "Don't panic, little brother. We have no ill intentions. I am the worshiper of the Spirit Snake Martial Arts School. I came here on the orders of our martial arts school's young master."
"Someone from the martial arts school?"
When Xia He heard that the middle-aged man came from Lingshe Martial Arts School, he was shocked but his face remained expressionless.
