149. Chapter 149: The Mansion

Time flew by, and it was three days later.

In these three days, a huge change had occurred in Sanyang City. First and most importantly, the Zhao Zhao Wuguan was rebuilt.

However, it was rebuilt at the location of the Jin Zhao Wuguan.

Because the original location of the Zhao Zhao Wuguan was not good, the space was not big enough, and it was seriously damaged and had nothing left, so they simply cleaned up the captured Jin Zhao Wuguan, tidied it up, and moved in directly. This saved a lot of trouble.

And in these three days, the disciples of the Zhao Zhao Wuguan also returned one after another.

Some disciples who had finished their apprenticeship heard that the Zhao Zhao Wuguan had risen again and came to visit one after another, sending expensive congratulatory gifts. There were also other large and small forces in Sanyang City who were afraid of being liquidated and came to curry favor, hoping to get forgiveness. At the same time, injured disciples needed medical treatment, and all order needed to be rebuilt. It could be said that they were busy non-stop.

Fortunately, Zhao Ge had experience in establishing a martial arts school and assigned several trusted disciples to do things, so it had already taken shape in just a few days.

Li Yi chose to step aside at this time. He did not understand these things and was unwilling to waste time on them, so he returned to his own mansion and buried himself in hard cultivation.

Yes,

He had his own mansion in Sanyang City.

This mansion previously belonged to the Han Zhao Wuguan. Because Han Tianbao was killed and his disciples were handled cleanly by the people of the Mighty Escort Agency, the Han Zhao Wuguan was well-preserved. Just finding a few servants to clean it up was enough to move in directly; there was no need to worry at all.

It was just that the mansion was very large.

Li Yi lived alone as if he were in a manor; it was empty, and if someone were lost, they probably wouldn't be found.

According to his master, he should hire a housekeeper, buy some slaves, maids, and servant girls in a few days to set up the Li Mansion; he couldn't let people laugh at him.

But for now, Li Yi could only make do like this.

And he was now wandering around the mansion alone with an Eight-Treasure Deer, looking for things he was interested in. For example, he entered the armory and found many strong bows and crossbows, and even some fine iron armor. He even tried playing with the bows and crossbows of this world, and his final evaluation was that they were not as good as firearms.

Therefore, Li Yi quickly lost interest.

Afterward, he came to the pharmacy and discovered many precious medicines left behind by the Han Zhao Wuguan, such as Qi and Blood Pills. This thing was made by boiling various tonics; it could nourish the body and strengthen Qi and blood, and was a necessary food for martial artists. Li Yi found several boxes, which were estimated to be of great value. Besides Qi and Blood Pills, there were other tonics for strengthening tendons and bones, medicines for healing injuries, poisons, and so on.

"No, the Han family should have a secret treasury. Things of real value wouldn't be placed in the open." Li Yi suddenly thought of something, and he immediately walked out of the pharmacy.

At this moment.

Outside the pharmacy door, an Eight-Treasure Deer stood there like a statue, head raised, motionless.

"Don't play dumb. Help me find the secret treasury of the Han Zhao Wuguan. There must be great medicine you are interested in inside. If you want to eat, put in some effort." Li Yi said.

Hearing this, the Eight-Treasure Deer immediately moved its hooves happily and then ran in one direction, as if it had been waiting for Li Yi to speak here for a long time.

Seeing this situation, Li Yi immediately followed.

The Eight-Treasure Deer was born to find earthly treasures and was particularly sensitive to the smell of great medicine. In no time, it had brought Li Yi to an ordinary-looking study in the backyard.

The Eight-Treasure Deer tapped the ground with its hooves, as if signaling to Li Yi that the secret treasury was here.

"An underground secret room?" Li Yi walked over, exerted force with his feet, and stomped hard.

Qi burst forth, and the ground instantly sank and collapsed.

A tunnel leading to an underground secret room appeared before his eyes.

"You mountain treasure are still very useful; your ability to find things is truly unique. After Han Tianbao died, this secret room probably wasn't known to anyone. The things stored inside must be intact. I wonder if I can find something useful." With this thought, Li Yi walked along the tunnel.

But after walking only a few steps, dozens of arrows shot out from the opposite side of the tunnel. These arrows were extremely fierce and powerful, capable of easily killing Blood Refining martial artists.

"There are traps?" Li Yi was stunned. Without thinking, he raised his hand and threw a punch.

The fist Qi vented, and the strong wind rolled back. These arrows were all scattered, unable to cause him any harm.

To reduce trouble, Li Yi activated his inspiration and immediately sensed everything around him.

Under the effect of inspiration, Li Yi discovered several traps. He simply broke them all, and only then did he feel at ease walking into the secret room.

The secret room was large, and various boxes were placed on the ground.

Li Yi opened several boxes and found that they were filled with a large amount of gold and silver. These gold and silver were of great value. Besides this, he also found several rare treasures, such as a gold bead.

This kind of gold bead could be boiled into juice, and after drinking it, it could strengthen tendons and bones, with miraculous effects.

But before Li Yi could take a few more looks, the Eight-Treasure Deer on the side darted out, bit it, chewed a few times, and swallowed it into its belly with a gulp, then looked at Li Yi with a calm posture, as if telling him: I ate it, what can you do to me?

"You are not polite at all when you see good things." Li Yi scolded, but this gold bead was useless to him, so it was fine that the Eight-Treasure Deer ate it.

He found a precious ginseng, which looked like it should be several hundred years old, but unfortunately, it was also useless to him.

The greatest tonic for an evolver is cosmic energy. These treasures are very precious to people in the four seas and eight continents, but to Li Yi, they might only be worth a few bottles of golden nutrient solution.

"This is... a Yin horse?"

Afterward, Li Yi's face lit up with joy. He saw a clay horse placed on the shelf. It looked ordinary, but he recognized it; this was a Yin horse that could be used on Ghost Street.

This thing was of great use to him.

"A good harvest. It seems the people of the Han Zhao Wuguan had also been to Ghost Street." Li Yi immediately put the Yin horse away.

He continued to search.

Li Yi discovered another small box filled with several so-called martial arts manuals. He flipped through them slightly. Although he did not recognize the characters of the four seas and eight continents, he could roughly identify that these were the methods of the Han Zhao Wuguan for skin refining, bone refining, and tendon refining. Besides this, there were also methods for marrow refining and blood changing.

Even the core Heart-Destroying Palm of the Han Zhao Wuguan was recorded.

Getting these meant Li Yi had received all the heritage of the Han Zhao Wuguan.

"The training methods of the lower three realms are useless to me, but the method of marrow refining and blood changing is helpful to me. My next martial path realm is marrow refining... but Master also has marrow refining and blood changing methods. Forget it, take them back, look at them later to see which method is more brilliant, and choose the best to use." Li Yi put these away as well and continued to flip through.

He now understood a little why people like to be robbers.

The Han Zhao Wuguan had developed for decades, but in one day, it was captured, and all its resources and property were cheap for Li Yi.

And Li Yi had only been in Sanyang City for one day, yet he was already wealthy. Not only did he own a martial arts school, but he also owned various industries under this school. Later, as long as he hired a few people to manage them, he would have a continuous stream of income.

This feeling of taking shortcuts and becoming the richest man is addictive.

Once accustomed to this, who would be willing to develop and operate honestly?

No wonder every dynasty had zero tolerance for robbers. Once this kind of robber ambition is born, it is difficult to return to being an honest and law-abiding citizen. In the end, they either kill and rob, or raise a flag to rebel, which is not conducive to imperial rule and must be suppressed and killed.

After Li Yi walked around the secret treasury, he took some things he could use and left.

Afterward, he walked around other places, and after familiarizing himself with the environment, Li Yi returned to the main hall of the Han Zhao Wuguan.

But at this moment, the main hall was empty. After he found a seat and sat down, he began to ponder secretly.

"This mansion is good and suitable as a foothold for me in Sanyang City. But considering that I might conduct a second or third cross-dimensional leap later, I still need to get a foothold outside the city. The Yin horse entering the city is too eye-catching and needs some cover. After all, there are experts of the upper three realms and thousand-year ghosts and gods in this world. Everything still needs to be low-key."

"It's just that to do things in Sanyang City, I still need some of my own people. Otherwise, I am a newcomer, unfamiliar with the place, and it is difficult to achieve anything. Master is busy with the martial arts school and needs to heal his injuries, so I definitely cannot go to trouble him for some small matters... Zhao Qian is still a little girl and lacks experience. Rong Niang and Thin Monkey are quite good, but Master also needs them to help, and they are probably busy now. And I don't know the others in the martial arts school."

"Besides, I cannot wait for the martial arts school to get on the right track before doing my own things. Time is running out, and I still have to return to Tianchang City."

Li Yi felt there were still many things he needed to do. Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, so he immediately went to the stable to lead out the black steed, brought some gold and silver, and then went out.

The Eight-Treasure Deer glanced at him and immediately followed.

Near the Han Zhao Wuguan, shops were closed, and people had left.

Because everyone knew that the Han Zhao Wuguan had changed hands, those who were close to the Han family fled like birds and beasts, moving away from this area, fearing subsequent liquidation.

But when Li Yi left this street, he could still feel the bustle of Sanyang City. People were moving around nearby.

In this situation, Li Yi had to flip off his horse and walk on the street leading the horse.

Although he alone stirred up the situation in Sanyang City, most people in Sanyang City did not recognize him, only regarding him as an outside martial artist and did not pay too much attention.

This was actually a good thing for Li Yi.

He found a peddler on the side of the road and asked about the location of the tooth firm. Seeing that Li Yi was a martial artist, the peddler did not dare to offend him and hurriedly pointed out the location and direction.

Li Yi thanked him, gave the peddler a piece of silver, and walked toward the direction of the tooth firm.

In no time, he found the shop.

This was the experience he learned from Zhao Qian. No matter where it is in the four seas and eight continents, the tooth firm is the place with the most well-informed news, and no matter what you do, you can't avoid dealing with the tooth firm. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
