Chapter 28: Emerald

"I..."

Long Shi touched his chest in terror.

It was pierced through, but strangely, his internal energy could still circulate normally, quickly gathering to stop the continuously flowing blood.

Huang De didn't know where he had run off to.

Jiang Ding sheathed his sword and said indifferently: "Who sent you to find me?"

Long Shi bit the bullet and said: "No one, it was my own greed. You are a magnanimous person..."

Clang! The sword came out and returned to its sheath.

"Do such high-ranking families also come out to rob?"

【This novel is first published, please go to read!】

The young man in front of him, in a fluttering green shirt, was handsome, but his ruthlessness was no less than other Jianghu people.

It was a continuation of life, and also a continuation of death; everything was his choice.

"Leave."

"Right, spiritual root Qi-transformation structure, fill-in-the-blank question, 2 points."

"My Long clan has been established for hundreds of years, relying on honest management and kindness to others, which is why we were valued by the founding emperor and leaped to become one of the two major chambers of commerce in the Yue Kingdom."

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Ding threw the secret manual into a corner, having memorized and understood everything, barely counting as expanding his reading.

Long San looked at the head pickled in lime, quietly placed in a wooden box, his face flushed red, and he roared lowly.

Whether the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had a mole wasn't his business, but threatening his life—that was a matter.

Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

Flipping to the second half, Jiang Ding felt that a certain internal energy circulation structure looked familiar, carefully recalling the content the teacher taught in language class.

"This internal energy structure located in the Ren and Du meridians..."

"Also, this gold and silver is my entire savings; I offer it to you, Young Master."

"Ah ah ah!"

However, it was soon. Since obtaining the rusty sword tip, his comprehension had been constantly improving, and he was confident he could enter the door in a few more days.

Internal energy rolled from time to time, changing according to an extremely complex circulation structure. His aura became ethereal for a moment, making people subconsciously ignore him, and then became extremely conspicuous, attracting a large number of gazes.

Jiang Ding had coldness in his eyes, tapping the head of Wolf Four, whose eyes were wide open in anger, with his scabbard.

Sitting on a chair, he flipped through "Wild Wolf Strength," the first local internal cultivation mental method he had obtained.

"Find a professional corpse collector to clean this up, leaving no traces. Do you know where to find someone who can handle this?"

"It's the Zheng family."

Huang De didn't know where he had popped out from again.

"Young Master's great kindness, how could I be ungrateful? If I am, may heaven destroy me, and may my descendants be cut off!" He pointed to the sky and swore, burying the cold resentment and poison in his heart to the deepest part, without revealing a trace on his face.

Jiang Ding said softly: "Manager Huang." "Proprietor."

"Hmm, there are only 365 meridians in total, including the twelve regular and eight extraordinary meridians. The special effect is that the speed of both hands is two to three times faster than ordinary internal cultivation methods, and it can be cultivated to the great accomplishment of internal energy at most. It counts as a small top-grade."

His left arm was broken and flew off, a large amount of blood flowing down, and his internal energy could no longer stop it.

Jiang Ding laughed and scolded: "If you can cut off my dog head in the future, that's your ability."

But there was no need to be too afraid. If he couldn't beat them, he could run. Even if the terrain in the city was narrow, with drones monitoring from the sky, it wouldn't be so easy for a large force to surround him.

If there were no spiritual roots, naturally the cultivation speed would be slower and slower, which is what they call bone structure or the like.

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

Long Shi lowered his voice: "Chen Chen was originally doing dirty work for the Zheng family and has connections with many underworld forces. I don't dare to confirm every time whether it's the master's instruction."

"Even if the Marquis of Zhen-Dong doesn't like our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he still agreed to let us settle in and provide protection, relying on the gold-lettered signboard accumulated over hundreds of years!"

Attacked by a large army, he couldn't beat them.

Long Shi barely suppressed the intense pain in his left arm and whispered: "I received an order from the Zheng family's guest, Chen Chen, to come here and test the waters." "Yes, Proprietor!"

Long Shi was ecstatic, almost unable to believe his ears.

Long Shi screamed miserably, startling a flock of birds.

"Let's leave it at this. Completely breaking off relations isn't very good." Jiang Ding sighed: "Hand over the internal cultivation method you practice, and then get lost."

Jiang Ding patted the book.

A few quarters of an hour later, a sturdy martial artist hurried over, looking at Jiang Ding with slight fear, and handed a package to Long Shi.

"Zheng family? In-laws of the Marquis Mansion."

"It should be a private job."

In the past few days, he had tried no less than a hundred times, but the "Small Concealment Technique" was still difficult to perform.

If it really was the Zheng family being unscrupulous to this extent, then he would have to run away.

Jiang Ding thought for a while.

"Remember, only this once. If there's a next time, be better prepared."

"Who is it?!"

Flipping through it casually, it was very simple. With the high school education Jiang Ding had received from the Immortal Sect, he could understand everything almost at a glance, without any secrets.

"I can, Proprietor."

Jiang Ding took the secret manual. He always wore transparent gloves, so he wasn't afraid of contact poison.

!.

Long Shi didn't dare to speak, called someone from outside, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jiang Ding looked at him calmly until the screaming grew weak, then said: "Continue."

Unless he wrote a thesis similar to "General Discussion on Mortal Sect Techniques in the Plane of So-and-So," he wouldn't get dozens or hundreds of points. Thousands of points with high reference value weren't impossible.

"Also, find someone to send this to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

Long Shi didn't dare to refuse, packed up the remaining gold and silver, joined the fifteen uninjured riders outside the door, and fled like a fly, not even daring to collect the corpse of Wolf Four on the ground.

"Don't pull that stuff."

"Not wanting today—"

Under the secret manual was a small pile of gold and silver, about four or five hundred taels, which could count as half a ninety-year-old ginseng.

Long Shi's body trembled.

If such a cultivation secret manual were handed over to the Immortal Sect library, it wouldn't even be worth 0.001 points.

"And while serving the royal family, they can also gain the trust of experts from all walks of life in the Jianghu, handling various miscellaneous matters for them."

"Being able to use the heaven and earth spiritual energy naturally absorbed by spiritual roots to transform into internal energy, cultivation progresses a thousand miles a day. The better the spiritual root, the faster the cultivation speed. There are capable people in the Jianghu martial arts world too."

Afterward, he recalled the content of the "Small Concealment Technique" in his mind, and his whole person fell into a dazed state.

"The reason I can stand in Rotten Board Street is entirely due to the support of the Zheng family. I don't dare to refuse their orders."

"Young Master, this is the cultivation method I practice, named 'Wild Wolf Strength'." He smiled apologetically: "Of course, this can't compare to even a ten-thousandth of what you practice."

It was useless; Jiang Ding flipped through it at a glance.

He knew what "continue" meant.

Huang De nodded repeatedly. He grew up in Rotten Board Street. Although he didn't join gangs, he knew everything he should know.

Long San roared: "Who wants to turn the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce into those disreputable thieves' dens?"

The maid on the side waited for him to vent his anger before saying calmly: "Manager, it's been found out. It's Xiao Cui from the pharmacy; her brother works for the Zheng family."

"Zheng family? Hmph, upstarts, just dirty, smelly things. Who knows when they'll be gone."

Long San sneered.
