Chapter 274 Explanation before departure
The smoke of the battle finally faded away, and the wind that had been raging all night gradually stopped.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning falls on the street, the bold ones quietly open the doors and windows and peek outside.
Only after he was sure that everything was settled, did he dare to take to the streets.
As the number of people on the street gradually increased, this ancient capital gradually regained its vitality after a night of bloody storms.
At this time, most people in Jingzhao Mansion were fast asleep.
After all, after struggling all night, even a tough guy can't hold on any longer.
Zhao Ya did not rest.
He was taking stock of the evening's gains.
The first thing is naturally the secret book of Xuanyang Zhenjin that was seized from Xie Tianfeng.
This secret book is of immeasurable value, especially for fifth-level warriors who want to advance to Kaimai.
That is to say, Xie Tianfeng, who is absolutely confident in his own strength, would not dare to carry such a precious thing with him if it were anyone else.
However, Zhao Ya only turned it over briefly and then gave it to his master Lu Dingtai.
Secondly, there are the golden tickets found from the Supreme Leader and Feng Rong.
Zhao Ya took a rough inventory and found that there were a total of 130,000 taels, plus his previous savings.
Zhao Ya's current net worth has exceeded two hundred thousand taels, which is terrifying.
So many golden tickets were placed together, piled up like a hill, golden and dazzling.
But Zhao Ya had a headache.
Because what he is going to next is a foreign land far away from Dayan, and these golden tickets will be just pieces of paper when they arrive.
Therefore, before leaving, these golden tickets must be exchanged into hard currency that can be used throughout the world.
There is no need to think about gold. If converted into standard units, more than 200,000 taels of gold would be about ten tons.
Even if Zhao Ya could carry this weight, it would still be a huge burden.
Therefore, the value of this hard currency is high and light in weight, and it must be recognized by the world.
So Zhao Ya decided to buy all these golden tickets into dried meat.
As long as you are a warrior, you need dried meat, and since there are so many warriors in Huawai Land, the demand for dried meat must be even greater.
So bringing high-grade jerky there might be a good choice.
Zhao Ya was thinking about these things when Zui'er opened the door and walked in.
"Brother Xiaoya, let's have a cup of tea." Zui'er held a cup of hot tea in his hand.
"Okay." Zhao Ya took the tea cup and looked up, and saw that Zui'er's eyes were red and there were still tears on her face. It was obvious that she had cried just now.
Zhao Ya sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that this little girl was reluctant to let go.
Although it was her initiative to stay and practice martial arts, when it was time to say goodbye, Zui'er still couldn't control her sadness.
After all, she has been with Zhao Ya since she first became sensible, and has never been separated for so many years.
But after going to Wanshou County this time, Zui'er still felt that he was a burden.
Zhao Ya couldn't help him at all, so he had to carry him on his back.
This makes Zui'er always feel guilty.
Although she also knew that Zhao Ya took her to Wanshou County out of good intentions and wanted her to meet her friend whom she had not seen for a long time.
But the more this happened, the more Zui'er felt that he was dragging Zhao Ya down.
She regretted why she didn't use more skills in the first place. Even if she couldn't reach Zhao Ya's level, she could at least help him share some of the burden.
That's why she resolutely proposed to Zhao Ya that she wanted to stay.
Looking at the depressed Zui'er, Zhao Ya felt heartbroken.
He reached out and grabbed Zui'er's hand, gently pulling her into his arms.
"If you really can't bear to part with it, just..."
"Stop talking about it, Brother Xiaoya." Zui'er shook his head, "Now that I've made a decision, I won't change it."
"Master Lu is right. Instead of following you like this and being pulled away by you little by little, it's better to calm down and train yourself. When I become stronger, then I can accompany you in this huge world. You walked through it together.”
Listening to Zui'er's extremely sincere words, Zhao Ya was a little surprised and a little moved.
"Silly girl!"
Zhao Ya kissed Zui'er gently.
Zui'er fell into Zhao Ya's arms, her face turned red, and she whispered softly: "Take me to bed, brother Xiao Ya."
Artificial ellipses. . .
Half an hour later, Zhao Ya walked outside the house and felt the sun was a bit dazzling.
Shang Luoluo, who was sitting on the swing under the tree, could not help but purse his lips and chuckle when he saw this.
Although he didn't say anything, Zhao Ya felt that this was more embarrassing than talking.
"Uh...why are you here?" Zhao Ya said.
"I heard you were leaving, so I came over to take a look. It happened that you were busy, so naturally I had no choice but to wait for you here." Shang Luoluo said with a smile, looking into the room.
"Zui'er, is she... okay?"
"fine."
"It's good that she's fine. I thought she was really in trouble."
When these words came out, Shang Luoluo's face turned a little red.
Because this is really not what a girl who has not left the government should say.
Zhao Ya was thick-skinned, so he didn't think anything of it, so he naturally changed the subject.
"Actually, I was just going to find you if you didn't come."
"What are you doing with me?" Shang Luoluo suddenly became nervous.
Zhao Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't get me wrong, it's just that I have to explain something to you."
"Oh, that's it!" Shang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me what's going on."
"Actually, it's not that important. It's just that when I went to Wanshou County this time, I met people from the Beast Taming Sect."
"The Beast Taming Sect? The group that launched the beast tide to attack Yunxiao County?" Shang Luoluo has a good memory and recalled it immediately.
"Yes, it's them."
Then Zhao Ya told the story of how he searched for the Dongwang's relics, how he formed an alliance with Xiao Yan, and how he used poison to conquer Cong Bo.
After listening, Shang Luoluo frowned, "So you mean to let me take over the intelligence channels of these two Beast Taming Sects for you?"
"Yes, this Beast Taming Sect is a serious problem after all. Now I have finally buried two nails in it. If no one takes over after I leave, wouldn't it be wasted?"
"Where is the information exchange place in the capital that you agreed with them?" Shang Luoluo asked.
It's easy to talk to smart people. After Zhao Ya told the location, he took out a small bottle.
"Here is the antidote for three years. If Cong Bo comes to Yandu City, you can use this to control him. As for Xiao Yan, you don't have to worry. She has taken the initiative to surrender. Even if she rebels, it will not harm us."
"You just trust me so much?" Shang Luoluo took the bottle of antidote and asked meaningfully.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Of course I don't worry about you, because with your intelligence, these two people can't make any trouble."
"But you'd better not show up in person. Hiding in the dark is sometimes more intimidating than being in the open. I'm sure you understand this."
Shang Luoluo pursed his lips and smiled, "Ask me to do such a dirty job for you, and you just have to praise me for the result?"
Zhao Ya also smiled, "Then what do you want?"
But what Shang Luoluo said immediately caught Zhao Ya off guard.
"I heard that the Outer Land is quite chaotic. I don't want anything else. I just want you to return safely within three years."
After saying this, Shang Luoluo shook the small bottle in his hand again, "Don't get me wrong, I made the appointment because of this. Otherwise, without this antidote, I can't guarantee that I can control the waves."
Looking at Shang Luoluo with a serious look on his face, Zhao Ya was silent for a moment and finally nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I promise that I will return safely within three years."
Shang Luoluo left.
Zui'er is still sleeping.
Zhao Ya stood in the courtyard and began to practice in the warm sunshine.
The movements of the Eight-Part Vajra Longevity Kung Fu are smooth and generous, especially after being performed in Zhao Ya's hands, it has a unique charm.
Not only that, Zhao Ya also recently discovered that if you cooperate with the breathing method of swallowing the star's true power when practicing the Vajra Kung Fu, the true power seeds in the Dantian will be significantly more active.
So Zhao Ya often combined the two to practice.
Although it was daytime and the stars were not visible, Zhao Ya knew that they were only obscured by the blazing sunlight, and that their bodies had always existed in the sky.
So at this moment, with Zhao Ya's movements and breathing, little bits of starlight gathered in the Dantian, nurturing the foundation of true power bit by bit.
Zhao Ya felt that there was a sea of light in his Dantian, and a seed was gestating in it.
When this seed is gestated and takes root, that will be the day when the foundation of true power is laid.
After practicing a set of exercises, Zhao Ya felt a slight sweat on his forehead and opened the attribute panel habitually.

[Guard unlocking progress: 71%]
Except that his life span has increased by more than a hundred years, the rest of his martial arts progress has not changed much.
This is also because they are all stuck in a bottleneck.
Especially the boxing skills are almost the same as the original sword skills. Because of the lack of knowledge, it is impossible to break through.
However, Dayan's foundation in martial arts was very weak, and his previous breakthroughs in swordsmanship were only achieved by relying on the Golden Sword Academy's decades-old collection of books.
As for boxing, which is undoubtedly the first major item in martial arts, no sect in the entire Yan Dynasty can collect a sufficient number of secret books.
To put it bluntly, there is still not enough foundation.
This is also the reason why Zhao Ya must go to the Huawai Land.
Only by opening your horizons and gaining knowledge can you innovate and make continuous progress.
Staying in seclusion and meditating in the deep mountains will only make your realm higher, but your martial arts skills will never improve.
The good news is that the progress of unlocking the gallbladder has reached 71%, but Zhao Ya doesn't feel any change.
If anything, my mind is clearer and my decision-making ability is stronger.
Could this thing have something to do with emotions?
After Zhao Ya thought for a moment, he opened the human outline diagram again.
In addition to the unlocked internal organs, the most obvious one is the starlight at the Dantian.
This starlight has grown from being weak and faint at the beginning to becoming much more intense now.
At first glance, it looks like it has swallowed a star.
