Senior Brother Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect Wang Yan to take out the silver so easily. He stared at the silver on the stall and almost drooled. However, he reacted quickly. He immediately took the silver, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you're really a straightforward person. We'll be friends from now on. Since we're friends, I'll tell you the truth. Although this three-piece set is a bit expensive, it's definitely suitable for you, Brother Wang. "
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao handed over a small cloth bag, a small paper bag, and a thin wooden blowpipe the length of a finger. After that, he showed an embarrassed smile on his face.
Under such circumstances, Wang Yan knew that he had most likely been tricked, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at the embarrassed smile on Zhang Xiaobao's face and thought that this person was interesting. However, Zhang Xiaobao repeatedly said that this three-piece set was the best item for self-defense, so Wang Yan was a little interested.
"Is this lime powder? This is … "
"It's a knockout drug. I just told you."
"Is this a concealed weapon or a blowdart?"
"Yes. There's a thin needle smeared with Muscle Loosening Powder inside. As long as you're hit by this needle, you won't be able to move for half a day."
Wang Yan understood the so-called three-piece set, but he didn't understand its use. Zhang Xiaobao seemed to really treat Wang Yan as a friend. He leaned close to him and whispered, "Brother, don't blame me for being straightforward. You odd-job disciples only know a few punches and kicks. You don't even know swordsmanship, so it's basically useless. But with this three-piece set, it's different. When you meet an enemy, you can cover his eyes with lime powder. Then, won't he be at your mercy? At the very least, you can use a blowdart to trick him. That's for sure.
As for the knockout drug, there are many ways to poison it. In short, you don't need to use your body to kill. You need to use your brain to defeat the strong. Let's not talk about other things. As long as you use this three-piece set well, you can easily deal with people below the Yunzi Stage.
But brother, let me remind you, don't use these things on your fellow disciples. It's against the sect rules. "
Using my brain?
Wang Yan thought that Zhang Xiaobao's words made sense. He recalled that day in the Fine Iron Cave. If he hadn't suddenly been enlightened and hadn't stupidly rushed up and used his brain to extinguish the oil lamp, he would have ended up the same way as Fang Jiannian. On the other hand, Wang Yan thought that if he had the three-piece set and used his brain, he could have killed two or three people in the dark by sprinkling lime powder and of his brain, he could have used his brain.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan immediately felt that the six taels of silver he spent was worth it. Not only did he buy a three-piece suit, Zhang Xiaobao and the others had opened a door for him. He even began to think about how he could defeat those who were stronger than him and kill until the heavens and earth turned upside down. Thinking of this, Wang Yan felt that the six taels of silver he spent was worth it. Not only did he buy a three-piece set, but Zhang Xiaobao also opened a door for him. He even began to think about how to defeat the strong and kill the strong when he met those people again.
As the old saying goes, 'It takes three years to learn good, but three minutes to learn bad.' Two days ago, Wang Yan was fooled by the old man of the Sword Library to practice martial arts. But now, he was thinking about how to use these dirty tricks.
The corner of Zhang Xiaobao's mouth twitched, he was obviously stumped by the question. Fortunately, this guy's reaction was surprisingly fast, he laughed and said: "Brother Wang, what you're asking is an outsider's question. These lowly methods are all about speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Whoever can seize the opportunity to make a move first will naturally have a higher chance of winning, don't you think so?"
Wang Yan nodded and was about to ask something, but Zhang Xiaobao said first, "Brother Wang, since it is your first time to come to the market, you must want to buy something. Don't be shy, just tell me, I promise to buy everything for you. It will save you time, effort, worry, and money."
After being interrupted by Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Yan really remembered his purpose of coming here. Now that he had bought the items for self-defense, Wang Yan also wanted to buy some spirit pills and some refined iron stones to speed up his cultivation. There was only a month before the next minor disciple competition, so before that, Wang Yan did not plan to go mining. He planned to break through the fourth stage of Sword Origin Heart Sutra and practice the Blood Sword Finger, trying to get a good ranking in the minor disciple competition.
Wang Yan told Zhang Xiaobao about his request. Zhang Xiaobao was a good friend. He packed up his stall and brought Wang Yan to the small market. This guy wasn't bragging. He was really familiar with the small market. In less than half an hour, Wang Yan had bought everything he wanted. Moreover, they were all cheaper than the stall owner's asking price.
"Twenty pieces of fine iron ore, each piece costs four hundred and fifty copper coins, that's nine taels deducted. Ten Yuan Increasing Pills, each costing two taels, that's another twenty taels deducted. Ten packets of 'Understanding Powder', each costing two taels, that's another twenty taels. In this short amount of time, Brother Yan, you have spent forty-nine taels."
Zhang Xiaobao followed Wang Yan and counted with his fingers for Wang Yan. After this trip, Zhang Xiaobao felt that he had become more familiar with Wang Yan, and even changed the way he addressed Wang Yan. However, Wang Yan didn't pay attention to him, and only looked at the two types of pills in his hand. In his heart, he thought to himself, "What about the six taels from your set of three?"
Yuan Increasing Pill, Yellow Level Middle Grade Spirit Pill. After taking it, the effect of cultivating Inner Strength increases by ten percent for the next twenty-four hours.
Powder of Understanding, Yellow Level Middle Grade Spirit Pill. After taking it, the effect of cultivating Inner Strength increases by ten percent for the next twenty-four hours.
"Tsk tsk, spending so much money in one go and still being so calm. Brother Yan, you really are a nouveau riche. I have made the right friend. If I have anything good in the future, I will definitely think of you first."
Nouveau riche?
Wang Yan was already used to Zhang Xiaobao saying new words from time to time. He understood some words and didn't understand others, but he didn't ask. As for the term 'nouveau riche', he roughly understood it, but he knew that he wasn't a nouveau riche. He had only made a small fortune, and after this trip, he only had a few silver coins left. Nine copper coins and three golden beans had all been used up. [Note: One thousand copper coins = one copper coin = one tael of silver. Ten taels of silver = one tael of gold. One golden bean is one tael. This is a common setting.]
"Senior Brother Zhang, rest assured. As long as it's something good, and as long as I have enough money, I will definitely take care of Senior Brother Zhang's business."
Wang Yan replied with a smile. He felt that after spending time with Zhang Xiaobao, his mind, mind, and mouth had become more agile. These were words that he wouldn't have been able to say in the past.
"You're a good bro!"
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and gave Wang Yan a thumbs up. Then he wanted to say something, but at this moment, a long and solemn horn sound suddenly came from the distance. When Zhang Xiaobao heard this sound, his expression changed immediately and he said, "Something happened, let's go."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao pulled Wang Yan and ran out of the town. Along the way, the disciples who had set up stalls in the small market all packed up and ran out of the town together after cleaning up.
Regarding this horn sound, Wang Yan also knew that it was used by the sect to urgently summon the outer sect disciples. But under normal circumstances, it would never be used. Now that there was the matter of the Refined Iron Cave and now an emergency assembly was used, the answer was obvious. Something big must have happened in the outer sect.
Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaobao pulled Wang Yan to the martial arts arena, there were already hundreds of outer sect disciples gathered there. On the high platform of the martial arts arena, the outer sect elders led by Chen Tong and a group of attendants gathered together, all looking serious.
Zhang Xiaobao had a wide network of contacts. After arriving at the martial arts arena, he found several disciples he knew who were guarding the mountain to ask about the situation. After asking around, he understood the situation more or less. It turned out that two patrol teams of disciples guarding the mountain were attacked one after another! Both patrol teams suffered heavy casualties.
Such a situation was beyond Wang Yan's expectation. Although the handyman disciples and the disciples guarding the mountain were both outer sect disciples, there was a big difference between them. The disciples guarding the mountain all knew Lightness Skill and swordsmanship, and their individual combat effectiveness was far higher than that of the handyman disciples. More importantly, the disciples guarding the mountain all practiced the Little Crape Myrtle Sky Star Sword Formation, while the patrol team was a group of 20 people. After encountering an enemy, they formed a formation to fight against the enemy, and their combat effectiveness increased sharply. Under such circumstances, the attacker could break the sword formation in a short time, kill more than half of the members of the patrol team, and quickly retreat before the sect responded. Such strength was really shocking, so it was no wonder that the outer sect elders would use the emergency assembly.
Zhang Xiaobao obviously did not believe such a fact and murmured, "The guys in the Rain-savoring Tower obviously don't have such great ability. Even if Zhou Yuanying broke through to the Nurturing Embryo Stage, she can't do this. What the hell is going on?"
"Rain-savoring Tower?"
Wang Yan was shocked. He intuitively felt that what Zhang Xiaobao said had a great relationship with the attacker of the sect, but the key was, how did Zhang Xiaobao know it? But before Wang Yan could figure it out, Zhang Xiaobao said, "Brother Yan, wait here for a moment, I'll go over there to inquire about the news."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaobao rushed towards the direction of the high platform. Soon, Wang Yan saw Zhang Xiaobao gather in a circle of more than ten mountain-guarding disciples. In this circle, Wang Yan remembered a few people, who were all very famous among the outer sect disciples and had advanced martial arts. It seemed that there was a small elite group among the mountain-guarding disciples, but Zhang Xiaobao could inquire about the news in this small group, which made Wang Yan feel that Zhang Xiaobao had remarkable abilities and wide connections.
Not long after, Zhang Xiaobao came back, but before he could say the specific information he had inquired, the elders on the high platform finally made a response. Elder Chen Tong came out from the crowd and urged his internal force to shake the whole place.
"According to the oral order of the Villa Head, from today on, the Aojian Villa will be under martial law, and all the disciples are not allowed to leave the mountain gate without the order. During this period, if the disciples of the sect are attacked within the mountain gate, they are to fight back with all their might. Those who are able to kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those with outstanding performance will receive the Killing Sword Order. "
Killing Sword Order!
Hearing Elder Chen Tong's words, the Martial Arts Practice Field immediately exploded, all because of this' Killing Sword Order '! This Order was personally bestowed by the Villa Head, and not only would the person who obtained this Order be directly promoted to an Inner Sect disciple, more importantly, with this Order, one could enter the secret area of the sect — Flowing Moon Sea of Swords.
Wang Yan had very little memory of Flowing Moon Sea of Swords, but he knew that the Young Villa Head, Proud Sword Hanxue, had honed his own sword intent in Flowing Moon Sea of Swords, and thus became the top swordsman in South Yue Province.
