Chapter 309
Qiao Mu didn't answer, but gave him a look like a knife. For a moment, there was no warmth in the clan leader's body anymore. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the skin all over his body was like a knife.
The previous clan leader was an old stubborn man who claimed to have faith, but as the clan's children were defrauded of money one after another, his faith also collapsed, and he was no longer as stubborn as before.
"Master Qiao, you are here to find out the details of Golden Township, right?" The patriarch changed his face at the speed of light and completely surrendered:
"I can say that, but I hope Master Qiao can pay back the 10,000 taels of hard-earned money because life is not easy for our tribe."
However, there was no expression change on Qiao Mu's face, he just said lightly:
"You want to say, the owner of Shanzhen Tower, right?"
Qiao Mu naturally didn't have the habit of hanging himself from a tree. During these days, he asked the demon cat Wu Chang to run around the city and found a total of more than a dozen philosopher's stones.
The head of the Luo family was far more than the only person in Taotie City who had obtained the Midas Stone. However, this man was quick-witted and turned stones into gold into a gold business, and he made a fortune from this.
The patriarch’s face changed drastically:
"How do you know...the Philosopher's Stone in my hand is indeed obtained from the owner of Shanzhen Tower. Basically, the Philosopher's Stone in the city comes from his hand." The words of the head of the Luo family are a bit of a mischief. Taste: "And now that you know it, you come to see me specially?"
"There's nothing else to do." Qiao Mu said calmly:
"Just catching up on old times, I just made a fortune of ten thousand taels, and I want to share the joy of making money with you."
"You, you, you-----" The head of the Luo family vomited a mouthful of blood again, his eyes were dim, and he passed out again.
Qiao Mu ignored the head of the Luo family and jumped out of the window, his figure disappearing like smoke.
Qiao Mu did not expect information from the head of the Luo family.
This person is a cunning businessman. If he really wants to give information, he might not be able to dig a hole secretly.
"If the world's best catcher Wayne was here, there would be no need to go to such trouble."
Qiao Mu's "Eye Sword Technique" comes from the former god-refining warrior sword ghost. Now he has practiced it to the incredible state of using his eyes as a sword and cutting out the sword light that turns the void into reality.
But when dealing with ordinary people like the head of the Luo family who have not practiced martial arts, Qiao Mu is somewhat at a loss.
His swordsmanship has always been to deal with warriors' killing skills. It is a bit too fierce, like an unsheathed sword. With a little bit of edge, it can make people's livers and gallbladders split, and kill people invisible.
If he wanted to control his power and suppress the minds of ordinary people without dying, Qiao Mu really didn't have this experience.
But Wayne, the best catcher in the world, is different. This is what he does.
After leaving the patriarch's residence, Qiao Mu did not go to Shanzhen Tower immediately, but to a bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city.
In the bamboo forest, there was a person standing far away. It was Chen Chongfeng who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Mr. Qiao, are you really here?" Chen Gongfeng was still a little restless at first, but when he saw Qiao Mu, his frown suddenly relaxed.
In these days, Qiao Xun's name was famous all over the city, and everyone yelled at him to beat him up as a rat crossing the street, but it really made him feel worried.
After all, he was the first person to invest money and lend Qiao Mu five hundred taels.
I thought Qiao Mu was going to run away and disappear, but she didn't want to come all the way to meet him again.
The uncle is the one borrowing money these days, so Qiao Mu was really uneasy about this meeting.
"This is one thousand taels." Qiao Mu didn't say much, and directly threw a thousand taels of silver note to Chen Gongfeng.
"Why one thousand taels? The loan is only 500 taels?" Chen Chongfeng was confused.
"The loan of five hundred taels will be repaid in full. For the other five hundred taels, I'll ask you to sit in this city and keep an eye on the Luo family." Qiao Mu said.
Chen Gongfeng suddenly felt that the thousand-tael silver note in his hand became heavy.
The Qiao family is not a lone warrior, but an elusive family, and it is unknown how many clan elders have emerged with unparalleled martial arts skills.
So the Qiao family's money is a hot commodity...
Qiao Mu said: "This Taotie City is just a small mountain city. Except for the river crossing dragon from other places, you are already the number one master in this city. With you in charge, the Luo family cannot make trouble."
As for the city lord of this city?
As a second-grade god-refining warrior, Chen Gongfeng could easily defeat the city lord in a single fight, but he could not defeat thousands of troops by himself.
Besides, why would he have trouble with the city lord if he had nothing to do? Challenging the authority of the Great Yan court?
Although the Southwest Prefecture government has lost contact with the Great Yan Imperial Court and is no match for King Yu's army, it is not difficult to kill him, a second-level God Refiner.
After the two of them finished talking, Chen Chongfeng left.
Just as Qiao Mu was about to leave the bamboo forest, a figure in green clothes and a hand-held iron gun appeared on the road ahead.
Qing Li shook his hand, and a blurry white object flew towards him. Qiao Mu stretched out his hand to catch it, and found that it was an ingot of silver.
This ingot of silver actually only weighs about one tael. It seems that Qingli's money bag has almost been emptied...
When I thought about this, I saw the figure in green walking towards me with a gun drawn, and a sharp explosion sounded in the air.
Fire and phoenix start a prairie fire!
Qing Li is a half-demon, and her physical strength is far superior to that of a mortal. Coupled with her extremely high attainments in spear skills, an iron gun exploded with tremendous force in her hand, like a blazing fire.
Although she is a woman, her fighting style is as violent as a volcano erupting.
The spear in his hand was everywhere, and the air emitted sharp explosions. The tip of the spear separated the air waves, and long ravines were opened on the ground. It was extremely ferocious.
However, his opponent was Qiao Mu who was also good at overpowering people.
After fighting for dozens of times, the inner energy in Qiao Mu's hand exploded again.
"The demon disintegrates twice as much."
The already strong and thick white energy turned into blood, doubling in volume in an instant, and blood oozed from the pores of his hands and arms.
With a double burst of physical strength and internal energy, Qiao Mu used a spear to push away the gun in Qing Li's hand, and the huge force caused the spear to come out of her hand.
The spear rotated in the air for several times, spinning diagonally into the ground.
"Why use the demon to disintegrate?" Qing Li's tone was filled with confusion.
The fight between them is not a life-and-death fight. Both of them understand this, so why use such explosive forbidden techniques with endless consequences?
"The disintegration of the demon is part of my strength. I won't bear it down." Qiao Mu said confidently.
The disintegration of the five-fold explosion of the demon would mean death for ordinary people, and would bring about a seven-day period of weakness for Qiao Mu.
The double demon disintegrated, but his arms were severely damaged, and it took three days for his flesh and blood to undergo a thousand transformations to heal.
As for the internal meridians of the body, they have been enlarged by the disintegration of the perennial demon trees. They have already changed from muddy paths to wide roads, but the explosion volume is only twice that of water.
Qing Li felt speechless and turned to leave. Before leaving, he looked at Qiao Mu twice and said:
"In the past few days, I have finally come to understand that you are just cheating and cheating."
"It's just a trick to deceive the people in the city. Is it to make them wiser? The mountain people in the city are deceived into working hard for a few days to collect stones. Is it possible that they won't fall into similar deceptions again in the future?"
Qiao Mu: "It's okay if you understand it this way. It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words."
"So, what if the people in the city are deceived again? Some people may not be so smart." Qing Li thought of the gambler Lao Yang.
This person has a lot of gambling aptitude, and he is also very young, but it is obvious that his experience has not increased his wisdom.
After gambling for half my life, I continue to gamble without making any progress.
"Then give up the complex of helping others and respect the fate of others." Qiao Mu spread his hands.
Qing Li fell silent for a moment and then said:
"If you do this, no one will be grateful to you, and you will only attract infamy throughout the city."
"The Qiao family is famous for placing importance on justice over life and death. Now that a liar like you has appeared, doesn't it taint the Qiao family's reputation?"
"I did play tricks on the whole city, tricking them into picking up stones by the river for several days in vain. If they really want to scold me, it's not unreasonable."
Qiao Mu smiled and said:
"What does it matter if you get a bad name or a good name? What does it have to do with me?"
Although Qiao Mu is a saint in front of good people, he likes to listen to others brag about his awesomeness.
If he had to choose between a good name and a bad name, he would definitely choose a good name.
But this does not mean that he will suffer the pain of being pierced by a sword or being imprisoned in a dream for decades and hundreds of years just because he likes fame.
He is over seven hundred years old, and he is happy to have these false names.
If there is not a false reputation but a bad reputation, he won't care too much.
Qing Li fell silent again and looked at Qiao Mu with a slightly changed look:
"Mr. Qiao is free and easy, which is really enviable."
At this moment she did not call Qiao Mu the so-called "Master Qiao".
Although Qiao Mu and Demon Spear Qingli fought against each other many times in the past few days, they actually didn't exchange a few words, and today was already too much.
The reason why she gave Qiao Mu tricks before was actually not related to Qiao Mu's character, but because she believed in her sworn brother Zhao Hu's character and felt that Qiao Mu could inherit the complete "Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear".
But today, she took a new look at Qiao Mu and no longer called him "Master Qiao".
However, her attitude remained unchanged and she did not become enthusiastic because of it. She only turned to talk seriously about Wu with Qiao Mu:
"The essence of the fire and phoenix setting a prairie fire is 'the heart is like a burning fire'."
“Life is like weeds, and heart is like fire.”
"This is a killing move that my master, the Spear Saint, learned back then. If you don't have a suitable state of mind, it will be useless when you use it, and you won't care about it."
Qiao Mu's heart moved slightly and asked:
"God-refining martial arts?"
"Not bad." Qing Li explained:
"After refining the divine level, there is no way forward for martial arts. Now that you have obtained the "Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear", you probably know the master's intentions..."
"He deliberately recorded his martial arts experience. In fact, he intended to sort out a new superior martial arts for future generations of martial artists. However, he did not complete the work, so only "Hundred Birds toward the Phoenix Spear" and a martial arts work in his later years were left. Learning experience.”
Qing Li was giving Qiao Mu some tricks before, but today he found out why Qiao Mu cheated money. After seeing Qiao Mu with admiration, he had another thought.
Pass on skills from teachers.
The Spear Saint was already dead.
Among the descendants of the Spear Saint, only Zhao Hu is a first-class person. Although his martial arts is not bad, it has not reached the peak.
The person who deserves the title of "Successor of the Spear Saint" is actually a half-demon like Qing Li who is born with divine power.
Even if he doesn't have the inner strength, "Demon Spear" Qing Li's spear skills are more than enough to teach him the art on behalf of the Spear Saint.
"From the perspective of my master, blending emotions with skills and uniting body and mind is the ultimate god-refining martial skill after super-level." Qing Li continued:
"The best among them is the "Sword-Destroying Technique" which banishes immortals with swords."
"Such a god-refining martial arts skill, if the state of mind has not yet arrived, it will be difficult to achieve its artistic conception."
Qiao Mu nodded.
In fact, the same is true for the sword-slaying technique. Even if the sword is used to banish immortals, when it was originally broken, I couldn't use it.
This level of god-refining martial arts actually requires higher mental state and will. Before reaching that stage, it will not be able to exert much power.
Sword Exorcist is the first person in the art, and his attainments in this field are unparalleled and unrivaled.
Although the Spear Saint and the Sword Banished Immortal once ranked second and first in the world, the gap between the two is actually a bit big.
The difference is... Jian Banxian is a peerless genius. He can create the technique of slashing the sky and drawing the sword just by following his feelings.
A top martial artist like the Spear Saint is naturally not as accomplished as the Sword Exorcist in the art of martial arts.
Although not as good as him, the Spear Saint can write down written martial arts secrets, write down written martial arts experience, and roughly organize the skills and martial arts after super level.
This is something that a peerless prodigy like Jian Banxian cannot do.
Qing Li said: "After the first stage of refining the gods, the 'gods' that are too powerful can already affect external objects."
"Then, how to combine this powerful 'god' with the martial artist's 'skill' and use it in actual combat is a question that the master will think about in his later years."
Having said this, Qing Li turned around and left again.
Her contact with Qiao Mu was very pure, either in physical combat or martial arts, and she did not intend to have any deeper personal relationship with Qiao Mu.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Mu called her out at this moment:
"Since you know that it was someone from Xishan Village who passed the "Hundred Birds to Phoenix Spear" to me, don't you have anything more to ask?"
Qiao Mu learned from the beast slave Chen Heihu that Qing Li had left Xishan Village for many years and had not returned to his hometown for a long time.
