Fairy Hunting

Chapter 104 Top of the List, Conspiracy

Three days later, the night was full of clouds and no moon.

Outside Gao's Wuchu mansion, a big man suddenly appeared, carrying a bamboo basket, walking towards Gao's Wuchu mansion.

"stop."

Several members of the Qiu family surrounded the big man.

A sharp big knife was placed on the big man's neck.

The big man's face was pale and full of fear, he raised his hands and said, "All heroes, spare your lives, I really have no money."

Qiu Shi was alone, cut off the strap of the bamboo basket with a slash of the sword, and took a look at the bamboo basket, but it turned out to be empty.

The faces of the members of the Qiu family sank, and one of them shouted: "It's midnight, who told you to walk here with a bamboo basket on your back, you can't find death."

"Hero, please forgive me. Someone gave me five taels of silver and asked me to walk around here with a bamboo basket on my back. I thought to myself, if you don't earn money for nothing, I'm here. What do I do?" I don't know either."

The big man begged.

At this moment, in all directions and different directions, at least dozens of men carrying bamboo baskets were walking towards Gao's Martial Arts Mansion.

"Damn it, stop it."

"stop."

People from the Qiu family and the Zheng family who were hiding in the dark rushed out one after another to stop them.

But with dozens of people together, the two major clans were obviously short of manpower, and the scene was chaotic.

In the night, Lu Yan carried a bamboo basket several times larger than before, quietly approached Gao's Martial Kitchen Mansion, and then jumped into the Martial Kitchen Mansion.

"who?"

As soon as he entered the Martial Kitchen Mansion, he was discovered by several warriors who looked like guards.

"Everyone, I'm here to hand in the shellfish."

Lu Yan smiled, and calmly took out a 30 tael bank note, handed it to the head of a guard, and said, "This is to invite a few big brothers to drink, and invite a few big brothers to lead the way."

The guard glanced at the bank note, immediately smiled, and said, "It's easy to say, it turned out to be the one who handed in the shellfish. Come, come with us."

As he spoke, the bank note slipped into his sleeve.

Lu Yan followed a few guards, walked through the corridor, and came to a study.

"My lord, someone has come to hand in the shellfish."

The headed guard reported.

"The date has passed, what shellfish to hand in? Let him go."

In the study, an old voice came out.

"My lord, there are quite a lot of shellfish in this junior, hundreds of catties."

Lu Yan said.

The guards were taken aback and looked at Lu Yan in surprise.

In the study room, there was silence for a while, and the old voice came out again: "So it's you, the old man has been waiting for you for several days, come in."

Lu Yan pushed the door open and entered.

The study room is very spacious, with a desk made of pear blossom wood. An old man with silver hair is sitting behind the desk, looking at him curiously.

"Old man Gao Xuhai, the steward of Gao's Martial Arts Kitchen Mansion, what's your name?"

The old man said.

"Junior Wei Tao."

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Yan to give his real name, nor could he give the name of Lu Shanchuan, so he made up a name.

Of course, this name is not made up at will, at least the surname is particular.

The surname Wei is easily reminiscent of the Wei family in Li'an County.

After all, the surname Wei is not common in the six Lingdong counties.

Invisibly, it will make people more afraid.

"The surname is Wei, but the Wei family of Li'an County?"

Gao Xuhai asked.

"The war is tight and there is no time to be distracted. Only the junior can come here alone."

Lu Yan sighed and frowned, as if thinking of something sad.

"Your Excellency is really very capable, and several big names have been played around."

Gao Xuhai said meaningfully.

"Senior praised you, but this junior is alone, without some means, it's hard to win."

Lu Yan sighed.

"Well, it doesn't matter what the process is. I, Mrs. Gao, only care about the result. Whoever has more shellfish wins. Show me the shellfish."

Gao Xuhai stood up.

Lu Yan handed the bamboo basket to the other party.

Gao Xuhai summoned two people and poured the shellfish into several large tanks. After checking that they were correct, they weighed them in batches, and the final result was 420 catties.

"According to the price, one catty is 100 taels, a total of 4 taels of silver."

Gao Xuhai first took out a ledger to record it, and then took out a stack of gold and silver tickets.

In this world, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver.

There are eight gold tickets with a denomination of 500 taels.

The rest are all silver bills.

A total of 4 taels of silver was obtained.

A little more is enough to buy a jade bone tiger.

That's right, according to the prices of previous years, the price of a jade bone tiger is as high as 5 taels.

Terribly high prices.

In fact, if the beast king bone soup made by the jade bone tiger alone is used to break through Marquis Wu, although the effect is better than that of alienating the Nine Tribulations Heart, it is not much better.

Up to [-]% higher success rate.

But the price is four or five times higher.

But rare things are expensive.

There are still a lot of alienated hearts and minds in the six counties of Lingdong, and even Wuhou-level clansmen often appear.

But the Jade Bone Tiger is only owned by the Gao family, and a Jade Bone Tiger can only make one serving of Beast King Bone Soup.

If the innate martial arts want to break through, they need to use the Beastmaster Bone Soup.

Intense competition naturally leads to rising prices.

After paying the silver taels, Gao Xuhai took out another account book and wrote down on it: Wei Tao, pay 420 catties of shellfish, top of the list.

Lu Yan glanced at it.

It was found that the quantity handed in by other gatekeepers was also written on it.

Besides him, Ouyang Shi weighed the most, weighing 260 Jin.

Li Shi, 210 Jin.

Sure enough, these aristocrats all weigh more than two hundred catties.

If he doesn't make a move, he will definitely not be ranked in the top two.

Gao Xuhai generously let Lu Yan see, anyway, these will be announced later, otherwise how can he convince the public.

After writing, Gao Xuhai took out a special wooden token, handed it to Lu Yan, and said, "Three days later, take the token to buy a jade bone tiger. Remember, we only recognize the token and not the person. If you get the token, you will bear the consequences."

Lu Yan can understand, after all, in this world, there are not a few people who are proficient in disguise.

"Thank you senior."

Lu Yan clasped his fists, hid the token next to his body, and left.

Lu Yan first jumped onto the wall, and then used his body skills to quickly rush towards the distance.

Even if people from the Qiu family and the Zheng family found out, their speed couldn't keep up with him, and they were quickly thrown off by him.

Lu Yan wandered around outside for several times before returning to the inn.

Everything is in place, just wait for three days.

The second day, night.

Li's Bieyuan, Li Wenlong, Li Wenjie, and Li Wenyan, three Wuhous, secretly received a guest.

This person is obviously Gao Xuhai, the steward of Gao Shiwu's kitchen.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but the style of the senior is still the same. The junior respects the senior."

Li Wenlong got up and raised his glass to toast, with a very respectful attitude.

"The old man is old and his potential has been exhausted. There is no hope for a grandmaster in this life, and he will not live for a few years. However, several nephews are in their prime of life, and there is hope for a grandmaster in the future."

Gao Xuhai took a sip from his wine glass and sighed quietly.

"No matter what the seniors say, the seniors will grow old and strong, with strong vitality and blood, and it will be no problem to live for decades."

Li asked Longdao.

"Nephew, tell me what you have to say, why did you see me today?"

Gao Xukai said.

"Senior, I heard that some interesting things happened outside the Martial Arts Mansion last night. Did the mysterious person hand in the shellfish?"

Li Wenlong asked.

"good."

Gao Xuhai nodded.

"How many pounds?"

"420."

The expressions of the three Wuhous of the Li family changed.

420 Jin, definitely the top of the list, wouldn't Li Shi be about to miss out.

But this time, they are determined to win the Jade Bone Tiger.

Because, this time, the jade bone tiger was bought for Li Cangxin.

Li Cangxin, the younger brother of Li Canglin, the son of Li Wenxuan, one of the candidates for the future patriarch, has a powerful innate martial body, and has three times the vitality of ordinary people.

"Senior, this Qianshou ginseng was obtained by Master Wenxuan by chance, and this time I entrust the junior to give it to the senior."

Li Wenlong took out a wooden box, and after opening it, there was a faint fragrance, and it was a ginseng plant more than six inches long.

Gao Xuhai's eyes suddenly lit up, flashing a hot light.

Thousand-shou ginseng, an extremely rare elixir, if cooked with the blood of the second-level alien beast king, after taking it, it can prolong life for five years.

The high price is still above the heart of alienation.

But it's too rare. The six counties in Lingdong are rarely seen in the world, and they are completely priceless.

"I heard that the patriarch of the Li clan is old and his lifespan is not long. If Li Wenxuan has the thousand-shou ginseng in his hand, instead of giving it to the clan chief of the Li clan, he will give it to the old man, hehe."

Gao Xuhai smiled lightly, there was no wave in his eyes.

"To tell you the truth, the patriarch, the old man, has already taken Qianshou ginseng. Qianshou ginseng is only effective for the first time. If you take it again, it will be completely ineffective."

Li asked Longdao.

"Come on, what do you want me to do as a gift for such a precious treasure?"

Gao Xuhai cut to the chase.

"I really can't hide it from the seniors."

Li Wenlong flattered him, and also stated his purpose: "Junior, I want to get a qualification to buy a jade bone tiger."

Gao Xuhai's face was calm, he seemed to have guessed the purpose of Li Wenlong and others, said: "But the top two have been decided, and Li is only the third, so it's difficult."

"Senior, what is the origin of that mysterious man?"

Li Wenlong asked.

"Calling himself Wei Tao." Gao Xuhai said.

"Li Anwei?"

Li Wenlong's expression changed.

"Wei Shi? Hehe, most of them used a pseudonym. Moreover, that person has disguised himself. It should be a special martial art that assists disguise. The old man has lived for more than 100 years. I have never seen anyone. I want to hide it from the old man. eyes, how could it be so easy."

Gao Xuhai sneered.

"Since I am alone and have no background, I believe that seniors can modify it."

Li Wenlong said tentatively.

Gao Xuhai pondered for a while, then grabbed the wooden box of Qianshou Ginseng and put it in his sleeve.

Li Wenlong and the others all looked happy.

"Senior, I heard that the Ni Token has been issued, but I don't know what to do?"

Li Wenjie asked curiously.

"The token is made of wood. During the production process, the old man put a corrosive worm into it. As long as the corrosive worm is activated, the corrosive worm will explode and corrode the token."

Gao Xukai said.

"Senior is really clever."

Li Wenlong and the three of them clasped their fists in flattery.

"It's a clever plan. It's just that you have more skills in doing things. Also, we haven't seen it today."

Gao Xukai said.

"Naturally, we have been practicing martial arts today, and we have never met our predecessors."

The three of Li Wenlong said seriously.

Gao Xuhai showed a satisfied smile.

It was not until late at night that Gao Xuhai left Li's other courtyard quietly.

After returning to his mansion, Gao Xuhai first hid the Qianshou ginseng, and then took out a special incense and lit it.

Once this incense is lit, the fragrance can spread for ten miles.

But within ten miles, the corrosion insects can smell it, and once they smell it, they will explode.
