Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 144 Killing Beasts

   Chen Ying is fair and beautiful, with a graceful figure.

  As the only daughter of Elder Chen, she has outstanding looks, so there are naturally many suitors. However, she has shown her talent in martial arts since she was a child, and her vision is also extraordinary.

  Ordinary boys are hard to catch.

  The young talents in the city, in her opinion, each have their own shortcomings.

  As a result, today, she is nearly 30 years old, and she is still alone, without even a male companion, which can be described as a big joke.

  In this world, a girl can be a mother at sixteen, and she is considered old if she is not married at twenty.

thirty…

   Even if it is delayed because of martial arts, it is rare.

   Some people even murmured secretly, wondering if there was something wrong with her, since she hadn't had a man for so many years.

  A few years ago, Chen Ying didn't care. The increase in strength was enough to ignore the eyes of others.

  In the past two years, his cultivation has stagnated, and something strange has gradually appeared in his heart.

  Especially seeing playmates of the same age, getting married and having children one by one, gradually alienated from her, lost contact with her, and felt even more lonely.

  Even Elder Chen, with a rare serious attitude, urged her to start a family as soon as possible.

   Make a list.

   Lei prisoner,

   is one of them.

  The leader of the gang, Aizi, has a good status and is more than enough to match her.

  But Lei Prison's practice method is weird, and Chen Ying can't bear it because he can't live without a woman for a day. Others also have big or small problems.

   So it has been unsuccessful.

  As time passed, she gradually lowered her requirements.

   Zhou Jia,

   Into the eyes on a certain day.

   And introduced by Yuan Xisheng.

  According to her previous vision, a person with such an ordinary appearance and a dull personality almost didn't even look at him, so he was not in the list of candidates.

  Nowadays, I don't mind getting acquainted with one or two.

  After all, the first impression is not annoying.

   But to be honest, in Chen Ying's view, although Zhou Jia's character is not likable, it is hard to be hated.

   Just the way!

   "Miss Chen, wait a moment."

  The house is not small, but it is a little dilapidated, and weeds are overgrown in the corners, obviously neglected. Sanshui led Chen Yingxing to the inner courtyard.

   "Master, Miss Chen is here."

"Hold on!"

"Yes."

  Inside the house.

   Zhou Jia's face was serious, he held a dropper-like thing in his hand, and gently squeezed it to mix the liquid medicine inside with the ointment below.

   "呵..."

  Green smoke rose, and a strong medicinal fragrance came to the nostrils.

  Zhou Jia's eyes remained unchanged, his hands slid gently, and the source force was like a rapidly turning millstone, rubbing the ointment in front of him into pills one by one.

   "Dah!"

  A dozen pills of the same size were neatly stacked in front of them.

   Chalcedony Dan!

   The appearance is similar to the one given by Tianhu Gang, but the color is darker.

   After pondering for a while, he took one in his hand and put it in his mouth.

   "Woo..."

  The indescribable strange smell lingered in his mouth, which distorted his expression, and he forcibly suppressed the desire to spit it out and swallowed it.

   It's just unpalatable, and Renren will pass.

  The pill enters the abdomen.

  A warm and warm current quietly emerged from the stomach, and instantly swept across the whole body, and a sense of comfort that was ecstatic also surfaced in my heart.

  Every inch of skin, every cell seems to be filled with gentle water flow, allowing it to wash away impurities.

   It seemed like a long time, it seemed like a moment, Zhou Jia came back to his senses.

  As soon as the thought subconsciously fell into the sea of ​​consciousness, a look of joy appeared on his face.

   It's done!

   And it works surprisingly well.

   "Three years!"

   After a moment of silent calculation, Zhou Jia came up with an answer:

   "At most three years, you will be able to achieve the tenth grade, and the progress will be satisfactory. If what Yuan Xisheng said is the norm, I should be considered a special case."

  Ordinary tenth grade, if you want to attack black iron, it will take seven or eight years of accumulation at least, and more than ten years at most. Three years is simply unimaginable.

  Even if you have the best chalcedony pill, it shouldn't be logical.

To know.

  Others don’t have Zhou Jia’s Sea Consciousness light curtain, and it’s impossible to break through after completing the tenth rank. Most of them will try if they have reached seven or eight.

  The three years that Zhou Jia said was to push the progress of the tenth rank to 100%.

  In the previous Dalin Dynasty, even if they didn’t take super-quality source quality, they would have a great possibility to achieve black iron, that is, the innate state.

so…

   "Mysterious fetus of dragon and tiger!"

  Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly:

   "The damaged foundation on my body should have been repaired a lot by Dragon and Tiger Xuantai, and it has been repairing all the time, otherwise it would be difficult to explain."

   This is undoubtedly a good thing!

   But there is a catch.

   It means that it usually takes three to five years for the Xuantian League super quality source to be issued from application to issuance. After all, there are so many people queuing up and there are not enough items.

  This may lead to the fact that he has already achieved perfection, but the super-quality source quality has not yet come down.

never mind!

  Zhou Jia shook his head, got up and stood up.

   Take one step at a time!

  *

  *

  *

   Today's Chen Ying changed into a black dress with a jade pendant on her white waist, making her waist look slimmer and her legs slender.

  The long hair like a waterfall is simply tied behind the head, and the natural and beautiful face is full of collagen, which is not at all like a woman in her late thirties.

  The temperament of practicing martial arts all the year round and being in a superior position is even more outstanding.

   Even makes people spontaneously desire to conquer.

  Even though Zhou Jia had something in his heart, he still couldn't help but see a bright light in his eyes. Unlike other people in this world, teenage girls don't fit his aesthetics.

   "Brother Zhou."

  The subtle changes on Zhou Jia's face could not escape Chen Ying's eyes, her beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, and a little joy could not help but glow in her heart.

  Who doesn't like to be admired?

  Even if the other party doesn't like it.

   "Today is your duty day, don't you mind if I join in the fun?"

   "How come?" Zhou Jia said with a smile:

   "I can't ask for it."

   "The gambling house is a cornucopia." The two got into the carriage, and Chen Ying reminded:

   "The West City gambling house is not that simple. The gang leader knows that Lao Liao's hands are not clean, but he still uses him. There must be other reasons."

   "Oh!" Zhou Jia frowned.

   What he dislikes the most is trouble.

   "As far as I know." Chen Ying glanced at him, and said the news from her father:

   "The two deacons of the Western City Casino, the one surnamed Zou is in charge of the management of the casino, and the deputy gang leader Qiu Bowei, and the one surnamed Wen is in charge of bookkeeping. They have a close relationship with Qi Hufa, and there are also several friends of the Su family."

   "What are you going to do?"

   "Follow the rules." Zhou Jia said:

   "The gambling house has been open for so many years, so there must be rules. If I follow the rules, other people will not have any objections."

   "Brother said that this is an idle job, you don't need to go often, and you can practice at home when you have nothing to do. Could he still lie to me?"

   Said, a faint smile.

  Chen Ying frowned.

  Zhou Jia's so-called adaptability made her very dissatisfied. If it was just such a little ability, she would be a useless person with good talent.

   This world.

   It's not just martial arts that can do anything.

   Besides...

   "I'm afraid they will be dishonest." Chen Ying said slowly:

   "Although the surnamed Zou is old, he is a tenth grade and not easy to deal with."

   Zhou Jia is rank nine, although it is said that he is very powerful, but this is just a rumor, the last time he made a move was half a year ago, and few people saw it.

  What is the real strength is unknown.

  Deacon Zou's tenth grade is the real thing. Even though he is old and frail, he is still experienced and more proficient in martial arts than young people.

   "It's not good to fight and kill."

   Zhou Jia shook his head:

   "Convince people with virtue."

  Chen Ying was speechless.

   "Boom...boom..."

  A sound of gongs and drums came from outside, and the speed of the carriage slowed down, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

   "What's going on?" Zhou Jia lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the hurrying pedestrians on the street.

   "Master." Sanshui said excitedly:

   "It's killing animals in public!"

   "The yamen released two super-grade ferocious beasts, sold them at a high price, and were bought and slaughtered in the street. It is said that if you are lucky, you will get a few pieces of lean meat."

   "The lean meat of a super-grade ferocious beast is sure to be a great tonic!"

   As he spoke, he licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes glowing eagerly.

   "Super grade beast?" Zhou Jia couldn't help but be moved:

   "Who bought it?"

   "I don't know." Sanshui shook his head:

   "It must be a rich person. I heard that killing a super beast can directly promote a fifth-rank Yijin to a seventh-rank Heli."

   "When I was young, I even heard that one person was promoted from the fourth rank to the seventh rank."

  Super-grade ferocious beasts contain extremely terrifying essence. It is not surprising that it can help the fifth-rank to seventh-rank, and fourth-rank to seventh-rank, it depends on luck.

  Don't talk about low-quality, even if it is him, it is inevitable that he will be moved.

   "How to sell?"

   "Brother Zhou wants to buy one?" Chen Ying chuckled:

   "These things, if they can be brought out, they must have been negotiated with the master. It must be too late to go now, but sometimes the gang will sell them."

   "You can wait for the opportunity."

"Um…"

  After thinking about it, she said:

   "However, for you and me, killing ordinary super-grade beasts is not beneficial, and powerful beasts are difficult to capture alive."

   "Usually, the gang will not let people above the eighth rank take action."

   Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

really.

  With his current cultivation base, killing beasts may not be much faster than taking pills. For the Tianhu Gang, it is more cost-effective to let the people below kill them.

  One is to inspire people, and the other is to make a publicity.

   "Has Miss Chen ever killed?"

   "Of course." Chen Ying nodded:

   "Before the seventh rank, I mostly relied on my father to catch fierce beasts to kill and promote. I also killed a super-rank fierce beast. I was quite frightened at the time."

"how?"

   "Brother Zhou didn't kill him?"

   "I haven't killed Chaopin." Zhou Jia shook his head.

  He finally understood why there are so many people of the seventh rank and above in the city. This is a world where the strong are always strong.

  For ordinary people, it is already difficult to cultivate to the fifth rank.

   And those who have a high position.

  Even if it is boiled, it can reach the tenth grade!

  In Huojiabao, ordinary people can overthrow the inner city, but in this stone city, ordinary people have little power to fight back against the powerful forces.

   "Don't run!"

   "Stop him!"

   Just then, chaos broke out on the street.

  A **** figure rushed out from an alley, and fled forward in embarrassment.

  Behind him, five or six people were holding swords, roaring and chasing after him, firing hidden weapons from time to time, even ignoring the pedestrians on the street.

"Um?"

  Chen Ying's beautiful eyes flickered:

   "People in Tianshui Village, who are they chasing and killing?"

  While speaking, his body was about to move.

  Tianhu Gang and Tianshui Village have never dealt with each other. If it is their own people who are chasing and killing, since they met, she will definitely take action.

  Guo Ping?

   Zhou Jia knew that person, Guo Ping, who indirectly killed Xiao Chu.

   It's been a while since I saw him, he already has a sixth-rank cultivation base, and he learned a body technique from somewhere, which is quite mysterious.

   "Stop!"

   A loud shout sounded from not far away.

  Under the tea stand, the shadows of people are like lightning, and the sword light is flickering. A hidden weapon has been stopped in the air, and it landed lightly in front of Guo Ping:

   "What are you doing?"

   "If you commit a crime in the street, you can't find death!"

   "Heitie." Zhou Jia's eyes narrowed, his face serious.

  He doesn't show his temperament, his swordsmanship looks plain but is simplified, and his cultivation is so profound that he is a master of black iron.

   "It's the head arrester from last year." Chen Ying said in a low voice, her voice was rare and dignified:

   "This person has a weird temper, and his swordsmanship is extremely good. He is known as the eagle-eyed catcher. Even Yuan Hufa has been defeated by him."

   "When I see you later, just ignore him."

"Oh!"

   Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

  A black iron, drinking tea at a roadside stall does seem a bit strange.

and…

   Looks upright.

   "Let's go!"

   Shaking his head, he put down the car curtain without any curiosity about what happened next.

  *

  *

  *

  The gambling workshop covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, with towering pavilions.

  It is said to be a gambling house, but it is more like a Baihualou. There are melodious sounds in the building, and there are many coolly dressed women coming and going.

  There are also guest rooms upstairs for people who are tired to practice.

   There is a restaurant next to it, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

  As long as it is what you can think of, it is clearly prepared for you here, just for people to stay here until the last coin in their pockets is emptied.

"big big big!"

"Small!"

   "Fast forward, fast forward!"

"I won!"

"Ha ha…"

  The hustle and bustle sounded in my ears, and there was an aura that made people's blood boil. It seemed that as soon as I came here, I couldn't help the blood rushing up.

   "Medicine?" Zhou Jia was thoughtful.

   "Not bad." Chen Ying nodded, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes:

   "Something to add to the fun."

   "Director Zhou!" A loud voice came from the crowd, and a short and stout fat man parted the crowd to greet him warmly:

   "Director Zhou is coming, why didn't he tell me in advance, I'm ready to prepare."

   "Subordinate Wen Zhong, complexly manages the casino's financial accounts."

  Wen Zhong's forehead was sweating, and he kept wiping it off. He didn't know if it was because of nervousness or excitement, or because of his special constitution.

   "It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Zhou Jia waved his hand lightly:

   "Find a quiet place."

   "Yes, yes." Wen Zhong nodded again and again:

   "The supervisor is here, and Ms. Chen is also here."

   "I'll come and see the excitement." Chen Ying chuckled.

  Going up to the second floor, the people in the gambling house have received the news. All the people in charge, including Deacon Zou, have come to the room where the director is.

  Wen Zhong brought some thick account books and placed them respectfully in front of Zhou Jia:

   "Director, here are the account books for the last three months. Due to conscription, the income of the gambling house in these three months has been lower than before."

  Zhou Jia casually flipped through the account books and asked:

   "Collecting the bills, can you meet the requirements?"

   "Director." Deacon Zou said:

   "I used to be able to achieve it, but now the business is hard to do. I'm afraid it won't work. I heard that you are the master, mentor, disciple, and apprentice. Can you say a few words?"

   "We are also easy to do."

   Said, with a flattering smile on his face.

  Zhou Jia glanced at him, frowned slightly, and continued to ask:

   "Second senior brother told me that in the future, when we collect the bill, we need to increase the original amount by 30%. Deacon Wen, is there any way for you?"

   "Thirty percent?" Deacon Zou's voice said:

   "Director, this is impossible. It is barely enough to be able to complete the original task. Food and drink are problems for the subordinates. Thirty percent of it is impossible."

  Deacon Wen showed embarrassment and nodded repeatedly.

"Snapped!"

  Zhou Jia suddenly shook the account book in his hand, and said angrily:

   "Who is in charge of the accountant here?"

  He pointed at Deacon Wen:

"It's you!"

   pointed to Deacon Zou:

"still you?"

   "It's a mess, there are no rules and no rules, how decent it is!"

  He asked about the account books, and he looked at the person surnamed Wen, but all he answered was Deacon Zou, but Deacon Wen didn't seem to understand anything, and he didn't have any rules.

   "This..." Deacon Wen's face froze, and he subconsciously looked at Deacon Zou.

   "Deacon!" At this moment, a person pushed the door in without knocking:

   "A master came from below, and he has already won 3,000 origin stones. Others followed suit and raised bets. We have already lost more than 10,000 origin stones."

   "Hurry up and stop him!"

   "Director." Upon seeing this, Deacon Zou spread his arms and said:

   "You have also seen that although the subordinates are responsible for security, sometimes they will inevitably encounter some troubles, so they will help organize the account books."

   "This is what Old Wen agreed to."

   "That's right, that's right." Deacon Wen took a handkerchief and desperately wiped the sweat from his forehead, his wrists trembled, and he glanced at the ground:

   "The subordinates are incompetent, all thanks to Deacon Zou's help."

"Well!"

  Zhou Jia nodded and looked at Deacon Zou:

   "Let me ask you, in the future, the collection will increase by 30%, can it be completed?"

"Do not…"

   "Peng!"

  Deacon Zou spoke habitually, but before his voice fell completely, his eyes blurred, his chest was sunken, and he flew backwards.

   There was a faint cold snort in his ear.

   "Trash!"

   "If you can't finish it, what's the use of you!"
