Chapter 215: Expert Zheng Dayou! Return to Seven Heroes Town!

~15 min read 2,803 words

The moment the flesh and blood pill appeared in people's field of vision, the entrance of the government office suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Countless greedy eyes fell on the wooden box.

Leng Leng's face sank.

"What's the rush? It's not like we won't refine it for you. Line up honestly and follow the rules. If anyone has other thoughts, don't blame me for not reminding you—your life is not as hard as the Six Doors' swords!"

Once these words were spoken, they finally regained their sanity.

Those present were all scattered people from the jianghu; the famous sects hadn't lowered their faces to contact the government. These stinky fish and rotten shrimp in front of them didn't have the guts to offend the Six Doors.

But some people were suspicious of this, whispering while lining up, wondering how it was that someone just happened to come out with a pill at this time.

Suspicion spread like a wildfire.

Leng Leng looked at them with dissatisfaction, regretting in her heart that she had taken this errand. If it weren't for her master's repeated instructions, insisting that she come, she wouldn't like to stay with the rough men.

These people seemed to have no brains.

What's there to be deceived about a few demon corpses?

Just at this time, Zheng Dayou came back from the street after eating and drinking. He patted his bulging belly, then squeezed through the crowd and walked inside, shouting, "My Lord, where is my pill?"

"What a fool." Leng Leng glared at him with hatred for not living up to expectations.

A guy with low martial arts cultivation actually dared to expose himself as having pills in broad daylight. Wasn't he afraid of being robbed while taking advantage of the fire when he went out?

Zheng Dayou obviously hadn't thought about this matter, only seeing more and more people, fearing that his pill would go to waste, and looked at Leng Leng anxiously.

"Give the pill to that fool!"

Leng Leng said irritably.

The constables took the wooden box from the alchemist's hand, then walked to Zheng Dayou's side and stuffed the pill into his arms.

Zheng Dayou greedily sniffed the wooden box with his nose, and the refreshing medicinal fragrance was about to drill into his brain.

Although he didn't know the effect of the pill, Zheng Dayou still carefully put the wooden box away and was about to leave, but Leng Leng's voice came to his ears.

"Fool, you'd better eat the pill before you leave. If you go out of the city, in less than an hour, even your bones will be eaten clean by others."

Leng Leng snorted heavily.

Zheng Dayou's footsteps were stiff, and he turned his head slowly like a robot, his neck looking like it had been screwed with a screw.

He was simple-minded but not stupid, and immediately turned his head to look at the warriors who were lining up. Those people didn't hide their greed at all, their eyes red as if they wanted to eat people.

Zheng Dayou was startled, hurriedly took a few steps back, hid beside the constables, and didn't know what to do, trembling.

"Eat it quickly!" Seeing his slow appearance, Leng Leng immediately thought of the annoying third senior brother, and a burst of evil fire rushed to the top of her head.

"Oh, okay." Zheng Dayou, who was slow to react, took out the wooden box from his arms. Just by this action, he felt the hot gaze around him.

His temperament was a bit dull, but he wasn't a fool. He knew very well what this kind of gaze meant, so he opened the wooden box without a word and swallowed the pill into his stomach.

Sure enough.

As this action ended, the restless warriors at the entrance of the government office became calm, and their eyes changed from greed to curiosity.

The warriors here were at least five or six times blood-exchanged, so everyone could feel Zheng Dayou's barren true essence and blood energy, knowing that he was a rookie who hadn't even completed blood exchange.

How much effect could a pill have?

The moment he swallowed the pill, Zheng Dayou felt as if he had swallowed a small sun. The hot ball rolled along the esophagus all the way to the abdomen dantian, making him a bit mentally trance-like.

"Still not breathing quickly."

Leng Leng reminded again. She was still a person with a cold face and a warm heart, and didn't want to see Zheng Dayou fall short.

Zheng Dayou looked at Leng Leng gratefully, then sat cross-legged and practiced to digest the pill. His internal skill was a basic technique that was rotten on the street, the Qi circulation route was simple and direct, so the effect was very average.

Even so, Zheng Dayou completed the first blood exchange in an instant, and the skin on his neck and arms turned red visibly, just like walking out of a sauna.

Everyone was watching him break through with relish.

"Being able to make people complete a blood exchange instantly, the effect of the pill is okay, but for warriors like us who have exchanged blood three or four times, the efficacy of the pill is probably still insufficient..."

Someone among the warriors sighed, the voice was not loud but everyone around could hear it clearly.

Leng Leng frowned and looked at the person who spoke. Intuition told her that this person was strange. Just as she was about to catch the person and interrogate him, Zheng Dayou's aura suddenly changed.

"He is performing the second blood exchange!"

Someone shouted loudly.

At first, this group of people was just watching the fun, but when Zheng Dayou performed the second blood exchange in succession, their eyes widened.

Leng Leng's expression also became heavy.

Performing two blood exchanges in succession was a very dangerous thing. If the foundation was not good, failure in blood exchange would cause extremely serious deficits, affecting the potential of future martial arts.

A faint smoke emerged from Zheng Dayou's whole body.

"My God, the third blood exchange!"

"Is he not afraid of boiling himself to death?"

"Even if the body is good, you can't exchange blood three times in a row!"

"Young people are impetuous, not knowing that being too eager for success will have no good end."

Before the gossip was finished, Zheng Dayou's momentum changed again! This time, even Leng Leng couldn't help but exclaim, "The fourth blood exchange? Does he want to die if he doesn't stop? Even the genius disciples of those famous sects don't have the experience of exchanging blood four times in one breath."

Blood exchange was an important realm for warriors to build a foundation. The more perfect the process, the further the martial arts path could go compared to others. No one would choose to be eager for success.

"Don't force yourself. Forcibly losing Qi and blood to exchange blood is almost cutting off your own martial arts!"

Leng Leng thought that Zheng Dayou was young and energetic, a bit carried away, and didn't know how to stop, so she reminded Zheng Dayou to stop.

Zheng Dayou didn't feel any reluctance at all. After four consecutive blood exchanges, his body was still full of Qi and blood!

So he chose to continue to break through, putting Leng Leng's advice aside first.

And this time it really didn't go as smoothly as before! The fifth blood exchange took more time than the previous ones combined, and made Zheng Dayou feel tired.

However, it was finally completed smoothly.

For the sixth blood exchange, Zheng Dayou gave up. Everything he had now far exceeded his expectations. Being content is the truth his father taught him since childhood.

The unknown silly boy became an expert with five blood exchanges in just the time of a cup of tea! "Where is the pill?"

"Hurry up and refine my pill!"

"Don't need 50%, split me 30%... no, split me one is fine, please help me refine the pill!"

The entrance of the government office suddenly became very noisy, and everyone had an excited expression on their face.

And in a small alley not far away, someone was secretly paying attention to this scene.

"Your Majesty, you deliberately left half a fox corpse for Zheng Dayou, are you actually fancying his talent?"

"You are wrong, his talent is indeed very poor, but he is diligent, and his foundation is quite thick, which reminds me of a person."

"Is it Magistrate Guo?"

"It is Master Guo! He was also mediocre in talent, suddenly enlightened after the age of thirty, and later became a Grandmaster." "A Grandmaster... Your evaluation of Zheng Dayou is quite high."

"In the coming era, Grandmaster is no longer a realm that warriors cannot reach."

"I hope as you wish."

Hiding in the alley were Chu Yang and Zhuge Zhengwo.

Seeing friends leave one by one, Chu Yang felt the feeling of being a bird in a cage in the huge Forbidden City again, and couldn't help but sneak out of the capital, planning to go out for a spin to get some air.

As a result, he was caught by the old fox Zhuge Zhengwo halfway.

Zhuge Zhengwo didn't nag to persuade Chu Yang to return to the capital, but proposed to go to other prefectural cities to see.

Chu Yang readily agreed.

On the road, they encountered Zheng Dayou avoiding the fight of demon beasts. Chu Yang cut the demon beast on a whim and left half a demon body for Zheng Dayou, which led to the story that followed.

That half fox demon was actually a spirit demon, and its cultivation was profound, about to be promoted to a great demon, so it was very effective for refining pills.

But as the final push for martial arts breakthrough, such a pill was too violent. If someone else changed, they might not be able to bear it, but Zheng Dayou absorbed this Qi and blood very well.

That's why Chu Yang said his foundation was thick.

"Your Majesty's unintentional planting of willows will soon bring unexpected returns. Zheng Dayou's talent is mediocre, but he can exchange blood five times in a row. If the news spreads, all the sects in the Ming Empire will be shaken!"

"Our plan can also be implemented in advance."

Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes flashed with light, smiling like an old fox.

Chu Yang shook his head, "Divine Marquis can handle it, anyway, I don't need to take action."

The old fox wanted to fish and enforce the law.

Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly asked, "Where does Your Majesty want to go?"

"Seven Heroes Town." Chu Yang took a deep breath and smiled, "Everything started there, it has special significance to me, so I want to go and see."

Zhuge Zhengwo thought Chu Yang was referring to the matter of Guo Furong taking him out to walk the jianghu, so he smiled, "The daughter of Magistrate Guo's family acts differently from ordinary people. I held her when she was young, but unfortunately, I was busy later and couldn't see her often. In the blink of an eye, she became a big girl."

"Different from ordinary people?" Chu Yang sighed, "The wording is really conservative. I haven't met anyone stupider than her. Accompanying her out once, I almost fell a big somersault."

Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his beard and laughed. He rarely saw Chu Yang like this, and really felt it was interesting.

"I shall leave the affairs in the capital to your care, Divine Marquis."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this old subject should do it."

Chu Yang glanced at Zheng Dayou, seeing that he was still immersed in great joy, and couldn't help but smile, "This Zheng Dayou is a good seedling. Take him in and cultivate him well. Maybe there will be a surprise."

Zhuge Zhengwo nodded, "I have the same intention!"

The two changed a person's life in a few words...

……

Seven Heroes Town is not far from the capital, and Chu Yang arrived just before dark.

The demon disaster last time made the small town wind and crane for a long time, and it only recently recovered a bit of popularity.

At least Xiaomi already dared to sleep at the entrance of the Tongfu Inn.

Chu Yang reached out and waved, the sleeping Xiaomi floated in the air, slowly flew to the side and landed, and then he started knocking on the door.

Old Bai was sleeping in the lobby, and a little disturbance could alarm him. This was the skill he had practiced for so many years as a thief saint.

After a while, the door still didn't open.

Chu Yang fell into deep doubt. He decided to take back his previous evaluation of Old Bai. The other party slept like a pig. With this alertness, if he went back to his old business, he would be caught in minutes.

Fortunately, his mother was a gold-medal undercover agent.

The front door couldn't be opened, so he could only take the back door. Chu Yang turned a corner and jumped into the courtyard from the outside, and a few faint snoring sounds came to his ears.

There were some changes in the backyard. The grass shed next to the well was gone. It was smashed to pieces when the demons attacked last time. After Chu Yang left, Manager Tong didn't rebuild a grass shed, so she simply left it empty to pile up sundries.

The rooms of Xiao Guo and Xiao Bei were the most severely damaged, undergoing a major renovation, changing from one room to two, with a small attic attached, looking a bit artistic.

Other places were the same as before. Chu Yang had a smile in his eyes, sitting by the well and being in a daze for a while.

This place was magical, with a magic that could make people feel at ease. When the world was settled, it wouldn't be bad to come here and live for a period of time.

The quiet night passed quietly. Early the next morning, a scream broke the quiet atmosphere.

Guo Furong, who got up to fetch water to wash her face, looked at Chu Yang in shock, her fingers still trembling slightly, "No... how could you be here?"

"A big living person sitting by the well, I was almost scared to death when I just got up and was dizzy, thinking that demons had come in again!"

Chu Yang opened his eyes and sighed, "After so many days, your Qi-nurturing skill hasn't improved at all, making a fuss when encountering things."

Guo Furong said irritably, "Normal people would be scared, right?"

When the two were bickering, the rooms of Dazui and Xiucai also opened. Dazui didn't even wear his clothes properly, with a bellyband hanging on his chubby belly, closing his eyes and shouting and rushing out.

"Is there a thief?!"

"Xiao Guo, don't be afraid, we are here to help you!"

Li Dazui rushed around in the courtyard with his eyes closed, and his cowardly and reckless appearance made Chu Yang laugh.

Xiucai, standing by the door, seemed to recognize Chu Yang, his pupils shrank violently, and he hurriedly came out to pull Li Dazui.

"Why are you pulling me, protect Xiao Guo!"

"Dazui, stop making trouble, or your head won't be saved!"

"So fierce? Report to the official quickly!"

Lu Xiucai pressed Li Dazui's head with his hand with a wry smile, twisted it to the side, and let him see Chu Yang clearly.

Then Dazui didn't make a sound, his whole body was like shaking, trembling non-stop.

The door curtain was pushed open, and Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu appeared together.

Tong Xiangyu shouted, "Early in the morning, Xiao Guo, what are you yelling about? It's not opening time yet, your voice is howling so people don't have to sleep!"

"That is, that is." Old Bai fanned the flames on the side, and the moment his eyes swept to Chu Yang, he was stunned, and then he shook like Dazui.

Dazui was scared because he offended Chu Yang, and Old Bai had a feeling of a cat seeing a mouse.

The impression this gentleman gave last time was too deep.

"Oh my, Prince, why are you in the courtyard?"

Tong Xiangyu shuddered, and then quickly changed into a smiling face.

Chu Yang smiled, "I wanted to see you, but I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response. It was cold and dark outside, so I had to hide in the courtyard."

After hearing this, Tong Xiangyu was not okay, and immediately grabbed Old Bai's ear and scolded him.
