Chapter 50: So, go to hell
Chuanjiang City, the center of the prosperous area.
A luxurious and majestic five-story building, standing on the street where people come and go.
The people coming in and out are all richly dressed or imposing.
Above the gate, on a large plaque, there are four large gilt characters - Wanhe Merchant Alliance.
On both sides of the gate, two burly men stood with their hands folded, looking solemn.
Such a majestic place, ordinary civilians will be in awe at almost one glance and dare not enter.
Jiang Heng was in a bad mood and had no intention of paying attention to the bustling scene in the city. After finding the location of Wanhe Merchant Alliance, he walked straight into the building.
A young man in gray clothes immediately came up to meet him. A few steps away, he bowed slightly and said:
“This young master, does he need a little guide?”
Jiang Heng glanced at him.
This is a young man of similar age to him, with a hint of envy quietly flashing across his immature face.
“Lead the way! I want to see the Qi and Blood Pill.”
“As you command! Master, please come with me!”
After the young man in gray clothes spoke respectfully, he led Jiang Heng upstairs.
As if he noticed that Jiang Heng was here for the first time, the young man in gray briefly introduced the layout of the building and the overview of the Wanhe Merchant Alliance.
In the Wanhe Merchant Alliance, all high-value commodities are sold, such as top-notch weapons, various cultivation elixirs, healing elixirs, furs of various ferocious beasts, etc., and even rare secrets of techniques.
When he heard the secret manual of the exercises, Jiang Heng's heart suddenly moved and he said:
“Wait a minute, take me to see the secrets of the exercises first.”
"yes!"
The boy obeyed the order without hesitation and took Jiang Heng to the exercise area on the third floor.
This is a slightly empty hall with three counters. Behind each counter, there is a young girl standing with a smile.
In the hall, a few people were looking at a thread-bound book on different counters.
When Jiang Heng walked into the hall, the waiter stopped outside the hall and waited respectfully.
“Are there any exercises that focus on the physical body?”
Jiang Heng came to the counter marked ‘Majoring in Kung Fu’ and asked.
The girl behind the counter smiled, stretched her hand to a certain direction, and replied:
“Yes, the three books here are all about physical body cultivation.”
Jiang Heng walked over, picked up the three exercises and looked at them respectively.
Vajra Kung Fu, a yellow-level physical skill that focuses on the physical body. It uses the physical body as the main route to strengthen the physical body in all aspects. It is especially good at physical defense. It sells for one thousand taels of silver.
Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, a yellow-level physical skill that mainly focuses on the physical body. It strengthens the physical body in all aspects and is especially good at bursts of power. It sells for one thousand taels of silver.
Phantasm Body Kung Fu, a yellow-level physical skill that focuses on the physical body. It uses the physical body as the main route to strengthen the physical body in all aspects. It is especially good at the speed of physical skills. It sells for one thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Heng finally took the Vajra Kung Fu and said to the girl behind the counter:
“I want this.”
Speaking, he took out the banknotes from his pocket and handed one over.
After the girl took it, she bowed slightly and said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
She left the counter and went to the small room on the side of the hall. When she came out, she was holding a brand new thread-bound book.
This is the real secret codex.
Jiang Heng looked through the secrets of the exercises, and after a prompt popped up in his mind, he put the secrets in his arms and left the exercise hall.
After a while, he was led by the young man in gray to the elixir area on the second floor.
In Wanhe Merchant Alliance, the unit price of Qi and Blood Pill is 200 taels of silver.
In Daluo Sect, it is 10 contribution points.
One contribution point can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver.
Calculating it this way, it seems to be equivalent to a selling price of 100 taels of silver, which is half cheaper than Wanhe Merchant Alliance.
But in fact, in Daluo Sect, you can only use contribution points to purchase anything. If you want to convert silver into contribution points, the price will be double.
In other words, it takes 20 taels of silver to buy 1 contribution point, and 200 taels of silver to buy 1 Qi and Blood Pill.
So, if you buy it with money, it will be sold at the same price as the Wanhe Merchant Alliance. This is also a pricing strategy used by the sect to prevent disciples from wantonly reselling.
The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes Jiang Heng has now are actually the same no matter where he buys them.
“Bring me 600 Qi and Blood Pills!”
Jiang Heng took out the banknote and handed it to the beautiful girl behind the counter.
Generally speaking, sect procurement is a long-term cooperation, and special personnel are regularly arranged to pick up the goods. However, ordinary individual warriors, after practicing for a month, will only consume a dozen Qi and Blood Pills at most.
Hence, even within the Wanhe Merchant Alliance, it is extremely rare to purchase such an exaggerated amount of Qi and Blood Pills at one time.
But the pretty girl was well-trained, and she was just stunned for a moment before she took the banknotes with a smile, counted them, and then reported them to the person in charge of the area to get the goods.
Another corner of the hall.
Three warriors who were buying elixirs heard Jiang Heng's words and looked at each other. After completing the transaction as if nothing had happened, they wandered around the hall.
It didn’t take long.
A middle-aged man came over carrying a delicate small wooden box and handed it to Jiang Heng with the same smile.
Jiang Heng took it, opened the box, and roughly counted it.
“Yes, the quantity is no problem.”
With the purpose of the trip accomplished, Jiang Heng left the Wanhe Merchant Alliance with the small wooden box and left the city in the direction of the mine.
halfway through the journey.
Jiang Heng suddenly stopped.
"Come out!"
This is the wilderness outside the city. The direction towards the mine is an increasingly remote area. With the three people hanging far behind, Jiang Heng can naturally sense that they have evil intentions.
The three young men immediately sped up and surrounded them.
"Little brother of Daluo Sect, we are the Three Heroes of Chuanjiang City. We are about to break through in cultivation recently, but we are a little tight on money. I happened to see that little brother, you have enough Qi and Blood Pills, so I shamelessly followed you. I don't know if I can Lend us some?"
“Don’t worry, with the reputation of the Three Heroes of Chuanjiang City, we will always pay back everything we borrow, and we will definitely be able to pay back everything within a month, how about that?”
Jiang Heng looked indifferent, looking at the poor performance of the three people, he felt murderous in his heart.
"If it were normal times, I might play with you, but today, I'm not in the mood."
“So, go to hell!”
As he spoke, Jiang Heng's figure suddenly moved and turned into a violent hurricane.
The left hand is still holding the small wooden box, the right hand is making a fist, and blasting out!
“How is it possible? A mere outer disciple, so fast?”
The three of them can be regarded as masters in the world, and their cultivation levels are all at the early stage of the True Qi Realm. Otherwise, they would not dare to rob and kill Daluo Sect disciples.
It was when he saw Jiang Heng wearing the uniform of an outer disciple and spending so much money that he had the courage to take action.
Even so, the three of them did not intend to attack directly. Instead, they planned to use language to deceive first to dispel Jiang Heng's alertness, and then launch a sneak attack.
For three strong men in the True Qi Realm, it was already extremely cautious to do this to an outer disciple in the Physical Realm.
However, when Jiang Heng took action, everyone immediately noticed something was wrong.
Earth-level consummation [Wind Step], the speed was completely beyond the ability of several people to deal with it. Jiang Heng was the first to attack, and he only had time to raise his sword to chop him down.
