Chapter 11 Old Wang
Chapter 11 Old Wang
Time flies like an arrow; several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Midnight.
Yu Huai opened his eyes from his meditation, took a deep breath, and then looked up at the newly updated entry.
[Entry: Alertness (White): A vague intuition for murderous intent or malice]
[Entry: Fire Control (Green): Alchemy success rate +20%, more stable fire control]
[Entry: Copper Skin (Green): Skin toughness +20%, reduces damage from sharp weapons such as swords]
[Fixed Affix: Luck (Blue): Luck +50%, chance to snag a lucky break, chance to avoid fatal damage]
Nothing much has happened these past few days.
In addition, the refreshed entries are mostly related to daily life and cultivation, and the levels are not high, all of them are [white] and [green].
Therefore, Yu Huai spent most of his time at home practicing Buddhism.
With the various enhancements from the affix effects, his cultivation level has improved considerably.
If I were to take another bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, I might just be able to reach the threshold of a breakthrough.
But he is indeed poor now.
The few herbs on my body that had been ripened using the "growth-inducing" attribute haven't been sold yet.
Therefore, he only had a few spirit stones in his pocket.
He earned it by drawing talismans himself and setting up a stall.
He can't afford the Qi Gathering Pill now.
As for the spirit goods shop, Yu Huai didn't go there again.
I only bought a few inexpensive herbs from a shop called Lingyaozhai.
And you won't be targeted by others.
The effect of today's entries is really strange; the level is about the same as the past few days.
【Warning】and 【Copper】?
He stays at home all day, so these terms probably don't have much effect on him.
Would anyone dare to make a move in the market?
Yu Huai shook his head and then looked at the [Fire Control] entry.
That's a pretty good entry.
Alchemy ranks second among the four arts of cultivation.
It is only weaker than formations.
However, in terms of making money, alchemy is undoubtedly the most profitable.
However, alchemy requires a large investment of resources in the early stages, and even though people know that this path can make money, it still stops most independent cultivators.
There aren't many alchemists in most cultivation families.
And they are all treated like precious treasures.
Only the four major immortal sects can mass-produce alchemists and elixirs.
Now that he has the [Fire Control] attribute, he can refine some non-ranked pills.
As for those advanced-level pills, this entry alone is probably not enough to achieve that, not to mention that the recipes for advanced-level pills are not something he can easily buy.
However, even for pills that don't reach the highest rank, the market is still huge.
Most independent cultivators, unable to afford high-grade pills like the Qi Gathering Pill, will buy similar, non-high-grade pills as substitutes.
Not bad.
He has found another way to make money.
He already has the option of drawing talismans to make money, so why is he still so poor?
Yu Huai was in a good mood when this thought suddenly popped into his head.
Look back.
Yu Huai closed his eyes again and continued his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed uneventfully.
Boom boom boom!
"Is Brother Yu home?"
A knock came at the door, and Old Wang's voice came through, even his usual way of addressing him had changed.
Yu Huai opened his eyes again and looked out the door.
It was Old Wang's voice.
But just as Yu Huai was about to get up and leave, he suddenly stopped.
this…….
It's the feeling brought about by the word "alertness".
Yu Huai's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked towards the courtyard gate.
Old Wang had murderous intent towards him.
Could it be that Qian Yi and the others are going to make a move against him?
How dare they make a move in Tianjiafang Market?
Yu Huai did not open the door immediately.
He sensed several murderous intents outside the door simply through the "Alertness" attribute.
No matter how he felt it, it seemed like only Old Wang was there.
Could it be that they've hidden it?
That shouldn't be the case.
He only displayed the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.
Even if we knew he was at the fourth level of cultivation, so what?
Yu Huai didn't believe that a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, along with a Tribulation Cultivator who was also suspected of being in the late stage, would be afraid of him alone.
In that case, it must have been Old Wang who mistreated him.
Humph.
He is not afraid of dealing with Old Wang right now.
Since Old Wang was the one who intended to kill him, then he shouldn't blame Old Wang for taking drastic measures.
At worst, we can just kill them and run away.
He refused to believe that the Tian family would send a cultivator to hunt him down for an old man in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Yu Huai made up his mind in the blink of an eye, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
Holding the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand and placing the three talismans in an easily accessible spot, he circulated his spiritual energy in his dantian and walked lightly toward the courtyard gate.
At that moment, Old Wang was holding a nail.
This nail is called the "mourning nail".
It is a mid-grade hidden weapon, coated with poison. If one is struck by it, he will either die or be crippled, and his path of cultivation will be cut off.
He used this item to kill many people.
They were just waiting for Yu Huai to come out so they could kill him with one blow.
Old Wang was standing in front of the door, already able to imagine Yu Huai's current state of being brutally murdered and the scene of himself making a fortune.
But while he was still immersed in his fantasy...
Whoosh whoosh!
boom.
A sudden chill ran down my spine.
A sense of crisis swept over me.
For a moment, Old Wang's pupils widened, and relying on his years of experience in cultivation and combat, he shifted his body to the side.
laugh!
Blood splattered, and an arm fell from the sky, the death nail it was holding falling off.
Old Wang gritted his teeth and looked into the courtyard.
The gate of Yu Huai's house had already been breached by Ye Ren.
Yu Huai held the Green Tassel Sword and looked coldly at Old Wang.
What happened?
His aura was clearly only at the third level of Qi Refining, so why did his spells have such power?
Old Wang was puzzled, but had no time to think about it. He circulated his spiritual energy to stop the bleeding, and while making hand seals, he said to Yu Huai:
"Young Yu, how dare you make a move in the market? Aren't you afraid of the Tian family's wrath?"
Yu Huai ignored Old Wang.
With the Silver Ring around his side, Old Wang couldn't discern his true cultivation level.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him.
Since you've made up your mind, there's no need to hesitate.
The binding technique was cast, followed by the Leaf Blade Slash.
That kid!
It seems they know something.
Old Wang was shocked to find his legs entangled in vines. He stopped casting a spell, patted his storage bag at his waist, and summoned a tortoise shield to block in front of him.
dong dong dong.
A series of rapid strikes rang out. The tortoise shield, being only a low-grade magic weapon, began to crack after several consecutive blows.
Just as Old Wang was about to breathe a sigh of relief...
Yu Huai arrived one after another.
He gripped the Azure Tassel Sword and slashed forward.
boom!
The tortoise shield broke upon contact.
The sword continued its swift movement, slashing straight at Old Wang's head and face.
Gritting his teeth, Old Wang watched the approaching sword light. A talisman dissolved in his hand, and a yellow light burst forth from his body.
The vines underfoot crumbled instantly.
The yellow light actually blocked the sword strike, and although it showed some cracks, it did not break through the attack.
Yu Huai was also slightly taken aback.
Hahaha.
"You brat, you think you can kill me? You're still too green! It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade magic weapon; it's mine now!"
Old Wang used a teleportation spell to flash backward, already holding a talisman in his hand.
Having operated in the market for many years, he naturally had his own trump cards.
One of our trump cards has already been used.
There's one left.
This talisman is a first-grade, high-quality talisman.
It is called the Fireball Talisman.
As long as he can capture Yu Huai, he will not lose out.
Thinking this, Old Wang activated the Flame Burst Talisman.
The flames gradually magnified in Yu Huai's eyes.
not good!
Yu Huai knew something was wrong and quickly retreated, using all his spells, including the three talismans he had bought from the spirit goods shop, in an attempt to block the flames.
