Yangzhou City.
It was located in the southeast of Qinghe County, about thirty miles away.
It would only take a day to get there by carriage.
As one of the three wealthiest cities in Jiangnan, the magnificence of this place was far from what Qinghe could compare to.
Before entering the city, one could see the huge and magnificent black city walls.
It was like a giant dragon sitting cross-legged between the mountains and rivers.
It was vast and lofty.
On the road leading to the city gate, there was an endless stream of people and carriages.
These people included merchants from all over the world, tourists, and so on.
There were also the common people who came to Yangzhou to make a living.
There were even people from the escort agency and gangs who seemed to have finished their business and rushed back to the city to report.
In short, there were all kinds of people and it was very lively.
"As expected of a famous city in Jiangnan."
Li Wuyou was attracted by the noise outside and could not help but lift the curtain to take a look.
He had actually been to Yangzhou several times.
But in the beginning, he was mostly looking for doctors and medicine with a heavy heart.
He was not as relaxed as he was today.
Therefore, he did not really feel the prosperity here.
This was the first time.
"Water caltrop cakes, three copper coins for one, five copper coins for two."
There were even many hawkers who had set up stalls a few miles away from the city gate.
They shouted enthusiastically.
They promoted the specialties of Yangzhou to the people.
Whoosh!
Under such a noisy escort, Li Wuyou passed the inspection at the city gate and entered Yangzhou.
The city was even more magnificent.
Almost all the streets were paved with bluestone slabs, neat and wide.
There were many buildings on both sides.
Even the most expensive central district of Clear River City, the difference was like heaven and earth compared to this place.
However, Li Wuyou lost interest after looking for a while.
The bustle and liveliness were ephemeral in his eyes.
He only had the Great Dao and longevity in his heart.
"Find an inn to stay in."
Li Wuyou ordered.
"Yes!"
The coachman obeyed and drove deep into the street.
Soon, the two of them checked into a medium-sized inn called Yuelai.
There were many people in the inn.
Jianghu people, gang members, escorts, storytellers, and even prostitutes who swayed their bodies among the guests.
It was very lively.
"Help me gather some information."
After entering the room, Li Wuyou took off his green robe and instructed the coachman.
"What big things have happened in Yangzhou City recently? Pay attention to whether there are people or pharmacies selling the Heavenly Prison Snow Lotus."
"Yes!"
The coachman, who was the manservant who had been following Li Wuyou, bowed respectfully.
Then, he retreated.
"Hu!"
Li Wuyou closed the door and windows.
The hustle and bustle outside was completely cut off from him.
He stretched his arms and legs.
He began to practice the body refining techniques of the Iron Bone Realm.
No matter what, he would never delay his cultivation.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Li Wuyou had already stayed in Yangzhou City for two days.
During this period of time, he had been hiding in the Sky Room 1 on the third floor of the Pleasant Arrival Inn, cultivating his iron bones.
It was successfully soaked in the Gold Essence Soup.
His strength had increased a little.
He was only one step away from the late-stage Xiantian realm.
At this time, he had gathered enough information.
"Master."
Li Wuyou was sitting in front of the desk, slowly tasting the famous green poplar spring in Yangzhou.
The manservant in green bowed and stood opposite him, reporting the results of the recent investigation in a low voice.
"Recently, there has been a big event in Yangzhou City."
"It's about the Black Tiger Gang."
"The leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Xu Jiulong, broke through the middle-stage Xiantian realm half a year ago. He killed the leaders of the other three gangs in Yangzhou City and became the only underground master in Yangzhou City."
"Even the branch of the Beggar Gang here has to live under his nose."
"Although the big families have a lot of resources, they don't dare to have a conflict with this gang that rises by killing, so they all avoid it."
"The Black Tiger Gang is at its peak."
Li Wuyou's action of sipping tea stopped for a moment.
His eyes were thoughtful.
If he wanted the families in Qinghe County to take the initiative to rely on him and follow the Li family, he had to do something earth-shattering.
The Black Tiger Gang was now in the limelight.
If he could get rid of it, the effect would be excellent.
"Maybe I can make use of it!"
While Li Wuyou was thinking, the manservant in green continued.
"About the Heavenly Prison Blood Lotus, I also found out something."
"Recently, a group of herb gatherers came back from the Gobi Desert in the west of the Supreme Medicine Pavilion. They brought back a lot of good things, including the Heavenly Prison Blood Lotus."
"I heard that many people have already made offers, including Xu Jiulong of the Black Tiger Gang."
"Oh?"
Li Wuyou suddenly raised his head.
A touch of coldness flashed in his black eyes.
And a complacent smile.
There was news about the Heavenly Prison Blood Lotus, and it was related to the Black Tiger Gang?
"It seems that I'm in luck. I can use the Heavenly Prison Blood Lotus to fight with the Black Tiger Gang."
"Everything makes sense in this way!"
The smile on Li Wuyou's face became wider.
The perfect plan gradually appeared.
…
At noon the next day.
The Supreme Medicine Pavilion officially started to sell the Heavenly Prison Blood Lotus.
Li Wuyou, accompanied by the manservant in green, went to buy the Heavenly Prison Blood Lotus.
Because the news had spread very early, and because of the reputation of the Supreme Medicine Pavilion, there were quite a lot of guests who came today.
Early in the morning, the entire lobby of the Supreme Medicine Pavilion was already full of people.
There were Jianghu people with swords and sabers, exuding a murderous aura.
Most of them needed rare herbs to improve their strength.
To speed up the progress of cultivation.
There were also those who were dressed in brocade and had an elegant demeanor.
Some of them needed herbs to improve their strength.
Some of them needed herbs to prolong the lives of their elders and win the favor of their elders.
There were also some people who just came to join in the fun.
After all, this kind of grand occasion didn't happen often.
Seeing people competing with each other for medicinal herbs and actually bidding against each other, it was also a good topic of conversation after a meal.
"Master, there are people from the Black Tiger Gang over there."
Li Wuyou's eyes swept around, and finally fell on a special group of people in the east.
This group of people were all wearing short black fighting shirts.
There was a vivid and fierce tiger head tattooed on their chests.
Their fangs were half-exposed, and they looked fierce.
They were all wearing three-foot-long sabers on their waists.
There was no scabbard.
The cold blade was directly exposed, giving people a naked threat.
In the middle of these people.
It was a burly, slightly hunchbacked old man in his fifties.
He was sitting on a chair with a cup of green poplar in his hand.
His pair of fists were particularly eye-catching.
His fingers were thick and short, but his whole body was bigger than an ordinary person's fist.
It was like a black iron hammer.
His ten joints were also high and protruding.
His upper body was covered with calluses, which were dry and cracked like tree bark.
At first glance, it was obvious that he was an expert in external martial arts.
Li Wuyou had an enlightened soul, so his eyesight was sharper than ordinary people.
He could see that this old man's external martial arts had already reached the middle stage of the Connate Realm.
But he just entered not long ago.
But it was not bad.
Moreover, this person exuded a strong murderous aura.
His hands must be stained with countless blood.
Almost no one dared to approach his surroundings. It was completely empty.
Obviously, they were also afraid of him.
"This person is the deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Xu Jiulong."
When Li Wuyou was observing this old man, the servant also reminded him in a low voice.
"He kills without blinking!"
"You have to be careful."
