Chapter 178: First on the list, wealth, rewards Time flies and three days pass. After a spring rain, the river water becomes clearer and you can see colorful pebbles covering the riverbed. The sunlight shines through the waves and refracts on the pebbles, making the river look brilliant. A small boat was gliding on the river. An old man was sitting cross-legged on the deck, but a faint smell of blood was coming from the boat. There were three people in the family, young and old, all dead in the boat, their bodies entangled by colorful poisonous snakes, biting with bloodthirsty fangs, and their pupils gradually turned red as they sucked blood. "His-" The poisonous snakes crawled in a winding manner and soon came to the old man. The old man grabbed them with his big hands, bit the snakes' necks in his mouth, and sucked their blood mixed with snake venom. As soon as he practiced his Qi, his face turned purple-blue, then gradually turned red. The wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out a lot, and his tired and haggard complexion looked a little better. "call--" Shezhuang let out a breath and looked at the snake staff lying across his knees. A terrifying and sinister light flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up, leaned on the snake staff and looked towards the direction of Jiangcheng Mansion in the distance, frowning deeply. This time he really ended up losing more than he gained.
Although he gained considerable benefits from Shen Yinggao's crazy blood sacrifice, his "Ten Thousand Snakes Blood Poison Technique" also broke through to the third level, bringing him one step closer to breaking through to the middle stage of the Spirit God. But he was seriously injured again. More importantly, even the magic weapon, the Snake-belly Black-Scaled Fork in his hand, was lost, leaving only the famous snake staff used to hide weapons. "Why have I been unable to sense my Snake Belly Black Scale Fork for three consecutive days? Who has it fallen into the hands of?" His face was gloomy and he looked quite melancholy. Although he has tried his best to recover from his injuries in the past three days, it is still very difficult to recover quickly without the assistance of the magical weapon Snake Belly Black Scale Fork. It will take at least several months. However, the loss of the Snake Belly Black Scale Fork made him lose the mood to rest and recuperate, and he had the urge to search in Jiangcheng Mansion. But the one who controls Jiangcheng Prefecture now is not Shen Yinggao, but Gongye Zhengtai. "Calm down. I managed to escape last time. I must stay calm. As long as I'm alive, I still have a chance!" Shezhuang took a deep breath, suppressed his inner restlessness, and then thought of another possibility that even he found incredible. "Or maybe he was really taken away by the Lord of Longyuan City, and in some special way, he covered up the fluctuations of the Snake Belly Black Scale Fork." In the past few days, he had gradually learned about the results of the battle in Jiangcheng Prefecture and learned the shocking news that Feihu Bacheng had died at the hands of Longyuan City Lord. He couldn't believe it at first. But the person who secretly attacked him and Feihu Bacheng that day was indeed the kid Chu Ge, the lord of Longyuan City. Now that this news has come out, it does have some credibility. The most crucial thing is that after Chu Ge destroyed the Zhu, Liu and Yun families in the past, he was able to control two of the magic weapons incredibly quickly. He had guessed at the beginning that the other party might have a very powerful innate magic weapon in his hand. If the Snake-Belly Black-Scaled Fork fell into Chu Ge's hands, it is indeed possible that the fluctuations of the magic weapon would be covered up. "Longyuan Mountain..."
Shezhuang pulled out a shining jade ruler from his back, his eyes flashing with a cold light. This jade ruler is naturally the Yunfeng ruler. He once captured a member of the Yun family, and the Yunfeng ruler eventually fell into his hands. During the blood sacrifice, he restored some of its spirituality and the ruler became close to him, but he had not yet controlled it. He stomped his foot, and the boat suddenly shot forward like an arrow, breaking through the water surface and rushing out in ripples. Even if you want to go to Longyuan Mountain, you have to recover your injuries and strength first, otherwise going to Longyuan Mountain will be like entering a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. After all, the rumor that the Lord of Longyuan City could defeat Feihu and take over the city was not groundless, and opposite Longyuan Mountain, there lived a nun who had offended someone to death. Longyuan Mountain, Longyuan City. Chu Ge's burly figure stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the grand scene of people gathering at the foot of the mountain, and said to Wang Yongrun beside him. "Do we have enough food stored? How many days can we continue to provide relief to these refugees?" Wang Yongrun was the member of the Feiye Gang who was conquered together with Geng Lihe at the Lin Family Manor in the past. He has been following Chu Ge for a long time and has always been Geng Lihe's right-hand man. Upon hearing this, he immediately reported respectfully, "Reporting to the city lord, according to our current stockpiled food, without affecting our reserve plan, we can still provide relief to the people down the mountain for half a month. This half month was enough time for them to plant, hunt or gather some food, gradually stabilize themselves and overcome the difficulties. But now there are more and more refugees coming from the surrounding areas of Jiangcheng Prefecture." "Um" Chu Ge nodded and said, "For the time being, we will provide relief and assistance, and select some good ones to develop to the periphery. Remember to conduct strict inspections. Also, start speeding up the acquisition of the spiritual materials I need." "Yes!" Wang Yongrun clasped his fists and accepted the order. Chu Ge waved his hand, turned and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. These disaster victims who rushed to seek refuge from the mountain originally came for his Longyuan City and the name of the Longyuan City Lord, and in fact they had already accepted him in their hearts. At this time, he distributed food relief to these disaster victims to help them settle down. This could not only win their hearts, but also to a certain extent help these people settle down at the foot of the mountain in Longyuan City, establish villages, and help the development of Longyuan City. In troubled times, only talented people can bring hope. Therefore, Chu Ge would not be stingy. However, the people who came to seek refuge were a mixed bunch, and it was hard to say whether there were spies from the Yellow Turban Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, or the Divine Sect among them. There might even be enemies from the Zhu, Liu, Yun, and Flying Tiger families who came to seek revenge. Therefore, Chu Ge just let this group of people settle down for the time being and then slowly select them. Longyuan City is not a place where anyone can easily enter if they want to seek refuge. During these three days, his injuries had been fully recovered with the help of the fifth level of "One Qi Jue". Even his supernatural power cultivation improved faster, as if he had gained something after the battle. Now he was not far from breaking through the sixth level of "Divine Power Sutra" and entering the seventh level. During the three days, the final details about the battle in Jiangcheng Prefecture were widely spread, and the name of the Lord of Longyuan City began to spread in other provinces.
... "Lord City Lord, this is the latest list. As you expected, the list was quickly updated to record your information in Jiangcheng Mansion." At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Chenxi had already been waiting there with the list of names. Upon seeing Chu Ge, he immediately stepped forward to report, his expression full of admiration and worship. "The Tianming Sect doesn't want me to live in peace at all." Chu Ge shook his head in his heart and took the name list to check it out. "First on the list: Chu Ge: mid-stage Condensation Realm strength, upper-middle spiritual aptitude, born in Linyuan City, Jiangcheng Prefecture, Hengzhou, former head of the Evil Division of Yunying Town, current lord of Longyuan City, Longyuan Mountain, and a Class B wanted criminal of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Nicknamed Crazy Bandit, Lord of Longyuan City. He controls the Golden Boots and the Five Elements Guishui Flag, possesses the Tiger King Mace and other magical weapons, and is extremely powerful. The latest battle record: In one battle in Jiangcheng Mansion, Feihu, the patriarch of Feihu family, was killed and the magical weapon Tiger King Mace was seized. Recent areas of infestation: Jiangcheng Prefecture, Longyuan City." Looking at the extremely detailed information presented on the list, Chu Ge couldn't help but admire the Tianming Sect's detection capabilities. The Tianming Sect seemed to be able to detect that the Yunfeng Ruler was no longer in his hands, so the Yunfeng Ruler was not recorded in this update of the name list. "City Lord, you are already the number one on the list. If you break through the Spirit God Realm, you will definitely have the opportunity to be included in the ranks of the Twelve Extraordinary Ones!" Li Chenxi said with an admiring look. Chu Ge put away the list and threw it back to Li Chenxi, shaking his head and saying, "They are just empty names that will cause trouble." Li Chenxi was even more impressed when he heard this, and felt that the city lord was of high character and did not care about false reputation. But a warrior seeks fame, he really wants to be on the list of famous people, how glorious that would be, even if he is ranked 100th, it would be glorious. "Chenxi, you should be almost ready to break through to the Condensation Realm this time, right?" Chu Ge suddenly changed the subject and looked at Li Chenxi. Hearing this, Li Chenxi nodded without hesitation, "I'm ready." Then, he stared at Chu Ge, his slightly dark face turned red for a rare time, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Chu Ge smiled faintly, "Since you are ready, then break through today. I will personally protect you." Li Chenxi was immediately surprised and excitedly clasped his fists, "Thank you, City Lord, for your respect!" "Let's go, you will definitely make a breakthrough this time." Chu Ge gave affirmation and encouragement. Li Chenxi has an upper-middle level of spiritual talent. The reason he failed to break through last time was because he was not familiar with the strange power and could not guide and control it smoothly. Under Chu Ge's guidance, Li Chenxi practiced the secret techniques of supernatural powers and became familiar with them. Now he is more confident. However, if the second breakthrough fails again, the strange force will diffuse in the body and cannot be eliminated, causing blockage in the meridians, and the mind will suffer a great blow, and it will be difficult to have the opportunity to break through the concentration force in the future. Therefore, Chu Ge still planned to protect Li Chenxi and give him strong confidence, which was also one of the key factors for a successful breakthrough. After two sticks of incense. A powerful force gathered and exploded in the raw stone training room that Longyuan City had spent huge amounts of money to build, and then returned to stability. "Click——"
The door of the training room opened, and Chu Ge walked out of the training room with a satisfied look on his face. From now on, Longyuan City has one more powerful person in the Condensation Realm. Even if we leave out my sister Chu Feixue and Dugu Mingxin, there are now three people in the Condensation Realm in Longyuan City, which is no less than the Feihu family in its heyday. If my sister and Dugu Mingxin are included, the power is even greater. Outside, many young men including Linghu Xianji, who had heard the news, saw the look on Chu Ge's face and hurried forward to ask. After receiving Chu Ge's affirmative answer, they all cheered, as if they were even happier than if they had made their own breakthrough. "Chenxi finally caught up, all thanks to the cultivation of the city lord." Cong Hongmo smiled and looked at Linghu Xianji and Bai Yun, "Then it depends on who of you two breaks through first." Chu Ge smiled calmly, "It doesn't have to be fast, it just needs to be steady. I hope that each of the fifteen of you can break through the Condensation Realm!" Upon hearing this, all the talented young men felt Chu Ge's high hopes and respect for them. They looked at each other, clasped their fists and said in unison, "We will live up to the city lord's high hopes!" Chu Ge smiled and nodded. These fifteen people were the precious assets left to him by the Shenyi Sect after they had developed in Hengzhou through trickery and robbery over the years. However, now it is not only necessary to cultivate and improve the strength of these fifteen people, but also to improve his own strength in order to deal with the crises and enemies that have not yet ended in this chaotic world. If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. ... Chu Ge returned to the City Lord's Mansion and called Xiao Qian to lie on top of his head to help him recharge his spirit. He continued his cultivation. The strange power in his dantian had gradually accumulated to one thousand and three drops. With his current training speed, he only needs less than twenty days of training to break through the sixth level and enter the late seventh level of the Condensation Realm. He continued to practice until dusk, when he heard the evening drum beating from the Hidden Spirit Sect across the street. Chu Ge sensed the aura of Miao Daqi's brain-drilling demon worm and immediately ended his practice, walked out of the practice room, and came to the front hall of the mansion. Miao Daqi and Dugu Mingxin were both there, but they only had two bags in their hands. "That's all we have. The Feihu family is really a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Before I even got to the third treasure hiding place, someone from their family had already gotten there first. There were also people from the Yellow Turban Sect following us. To avoid exposing our identities, we didn't make a move to grab it." Miao Daqi put the bag on the table and said with a chuckle, "Including the one I sent you the day before yesterday, I brought you more than 200 pieces of alien crystals and nearly 200,000 taels of gold notes. This is a lot of money." Chu Ge couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "You did a good job, but I was thinking that I would give you a large share of the wealth after you got the third place. Now it seems that after returning the treasure map to you, I will give you 20 pieces of alien crystals as a reward. How about that?" Miao Daqi snorted twice, "When it comes to dishonest businessmen, you are still the most dishonest!" He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "But I don't need these twenty pieces of force crystals. I just hope you can go treasure hunting with me. How about that?" Chu Ge sneered, "My appearance fee is more than just twenty force crystals, unless you add another hundred force crystals." Miao Daqi was stunned, cursing "robber" in his heart, and snorted, "Forget it, forget it, you should return the treasure map to me first, and I will keep these twenty pieces of alien crystals with you. I will tell you when I need them later." He didn't dare to say it definitely, for fear that he would really have to ask Chu Ge for help in the future. Considering the strength of the Lord of Longyuan City, the appearance fee of one hundred and twenty strange power crystals is a bit high, but it is not unacceptable. Leaving twenty pieces of the strange power crystals will serve as a pretext for asking for help in the future.
"Mingxin does not need Your Highness to reward these mundane things. For Mingxin, Your Highness's gift is the best reward!" At this time, Dugu Mingxin bowed gracefully to Chu Ge, and her bright eyes behind the veil looked at Chu Ge affectionately, her meaning was self-evident. Miao Daqi didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted, looked at Dugu Mingxin, then at Chu Ge, and cursed "bastards" in his heart, and stretched out his hand in anger. "Your Highness, my treasure map." Chu Ge smiled, took out the treasure map he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, and threw it to Miao Daqi to see him off. This time, the harvest was indeed fruitful. More than two hundred pieces of special power crystals should be enough for him to speed up the refining of the Snake Belly Black Scale Fork, or use it for cultivation. After several days of research on the Tiger King Mace, he gradually found some opportunities to mobilize it. After Miao Daqi left, Dugu Mingxin picked up the bag and followed Chu Ge into the bedroom at the back with graceful lotus steps. Chu Ge was not stingy with the reward requested by the spiritualist of the Tianming Sect. He always rewards and punishes people clearly, so as to motivate the enthusiasm of talents. Dugu Mingxin asked for a reward, so he rewarded the other party with some emotional pleasure to help hatch the life seed in her life palace and improve her cultivation. It was also a piece of cake, just like the maids such as Xiao Chunhua in the past. But despite the rewards, he remained cautious and always used his supernatural powers to take protective measures to avoid accidents. afterwards. Chu Ge left the satisfied Dugu Mingxin behind, picked up two bags, and entered the training room. In the training room, the magical Tiger King Mace was still in its ancient and restrained defensive state. The Five Elements Gui Water Flag was hiding far away with its flag fluttering, and no one dared to approach out of fear of the tiger's might. Chu Ge opened the bag and saw a glittering crystal of strange power, which was dazzling. After a careful counting, including the ones delivered the day before yesterday, the two treasure hiding places of Feihu’s family contributed more than 260 pieces of special power crystals to him. In total, there are nearly 200,000 taels of gold notes as well as the Feihu family's inherited martial arts and secret techniques. This is a huge fortune. Even though the Feihu family has lost many of Jiangcheng Mansion's properties, their foundation cannot be underestimated. The only pity is that there is still a lot of gold, silver and weapons stored in the two treasure points, which cannot be moved away by Miao Daqi and others. Otherwise, they would be good resources for developing power. Chu Ge did not want to engage in direct conflict with the Yellow Turban Sect for the time being, so the matter of seizing the remaining assets of the Feihu family could only be done quietly. "That's enough!" Chu Ge picked up a piece of alien power crystal, directly transformed it into alien power, and then examined the information in the dragon bell. Now, there are still more than 14,000 strands of strange power left in the Dragon Bell. The last time he fought with Feihu Bacheng, he entered a state of double demon incarnation, which caused him great damage and directly consumed more than 500 strands of strange power. But now with the replenishment of more than 200 pieces of alien power crystals, the previous consumption is just a drizzle.
He looked towards the center of the clock, where the intermediate acquired divine weapon, the Snake Belly Black Scale Fork, was being refined. (End of this chapter)
