Chapter 90 Looting
Half a month later.
The edge of the Qinglan Valley mountain gate.
A valley with an elegant environment.
This place is covered with bamboo forests, dense and full of vitality, like a paradise.
"Junior Brother Yu!"
"starting today."
"Your job is to guard the Xiaozhugu Cemetery."
Yu Xiao, a disciple of Qinglan Valley, was seen dressed in green, coming to his work station under the guidance of his seniors.
After the Ascension Conference.
Yu Xiao successfully joined Qinglan Valley.
He was assigned by the Internal Affairs Cabinet to work in the "Lingcao Garden".
The Spiritual Herb Garden is a department under the Medicine Refining Pavilion, not a specific herb garden.
There are three major medicine gardens under the Alchemy Pavilion, namely the Spiritual Herb Garden, the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and the Immortal Medicine Garden, which manage all the spiritual fields and medicine gardens of different grades in the sect.
The cultivation of spiritual medicines is different from that of ordinary crops. It has strict requirements on the natural environment and extremely complex requirements on spiritual energy and veins. Therefore, the spiritual fields are fragmented and distributed everywhere.
Yu Xiao is an intern disciple.
Responsible for only one part.
This is the "Xiaozhugu Cemetery".
The monk standing in front of Yu Xiao at this moment was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest look.
Chow Tai Fook.
One of the deacons of Lingcao Garden!
"This is the secret document of Xiaochunyu Technique. Junior brother mainly practices Qingmu Gong and has the third level of Qi Refining, so it is no problem for him to master this technique."
He handed a spell secret tablet to Yu Xiao, "This is a benefit our Spiritual Herb Garden has given you. After you master this spell, you can use it to increase the growth of spiritual herbs or the growth of spiritual bamboo shoots!"
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Chow Tai Fook continued to instruct:
"Although this job is boring, we can't neglect it!"
"The sect will send you eight outer sect servants in the near future. All trivial matters can be assigned to the servants. You can punish them at will, but it is best not to cause any deaths."
"Thirty miles away."
“There is a Yunxi Town.”
"This town is a large friars' market."
"When the sect's disciples go out to train and perform tasks, they will rest or stay in this formation. There are all kinds of shops here."
"If you need anything, you can go to the town to purchase it at any time, but remember not to leave your post for a long time. Otherwise, if you are discovered by the disciples patrolling the Discipline Hall, not only will you be punished, but I will also be implicated."
"Understand?"
"..."
Yu Xiao wrote them down one by one and said, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will work hard and not bring any trouble to the Spiritual Herb Garden."
Chow Tai Fook nodded with satisfaction.
He gave a few more instructions and left.
I watched him step on a green leaf and fly out of the valley.
Yu Xiao couldn't help but look envious: "I want to get a flying magic weapon too!"
From participating in the Ascension Conference, to officially joining the sect, and finally being assigned a job by the Internal Affairs Bureau.
Back and forth.
No more than half a month in total.
Yu Xiao's identity has undergone a drastic change.
He was no longer a casual cultivator in Baiyunfang, but a pre-selected disciple of Qinglan Valley.
Although the status is not high.
I haven’t seen any of the foundation-building elders yet.
Not to mention the almighty Master.
But after all, he is an inner disciple, and he has many miscellaneous benefits.
For example, one can get 5 spirit stones and 10 spirit herb pills as basic subsidies every month.
For example, you can attend at least one sermon given by an elder every year. If you have accumulated enough contributions, you can obtain advanced techniques or instruments at any time.
the most important is.
Leaning against the big tree of the sect.
Safety can be guaranteed.
It will be very convenient to obtain skills, secret techniques and materials in the future.
As for work?
The immortal cultivation sect is not a charity organization.
In the final analysis, the relationship between the sect and the disciples is actually one of mutual assistance, mutual benefit, and mutual benefit. Since they enjoy the benefits of the sect, they naturally have to make certain contributions to the sect.
When Yu Xiao was selected into the Lingcao Garden, he was sent outside the mountain gate to guard the medicinal fields.
Wang Yao, Fu Qingfeng and others all felt sorry for him.
The Qinglan Valley family is wealthy and powerful.
There are many good positions suitable for trainee students to gain experience.
This kind of extroverted job has no future. It is almost impossible to get promoted and it is difficult to expand your network. The room for future advancement is probably limited.
In this regard.
Yu Xiao doesn't think so.
It doesn't matter if he is in the sect.
And the ranking in the Ascension Conference is not high either.
It is normal to be put on the bench.
This position is exactly what he expected because it has at least three major benefits.
First, keep a low profile.
From now on, Yu Xiao will dig magical bamboo shoots and grow magical herbs in Xiaozhu Valley. No one will notice him, and there is no risk of his secret being exposed.
Traveling between the two worlds.
No burden.
Second, leisure.
Although managing the spiritual bamboo and spiritual medicine requires some energy, it is already very easy compared to other work.
Isn’t this just like living a life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence?
You can lie down comfortably here.
Third, it is safe and convenient.
Although Yu Xiao was sent out, this place is right on the edge of the mountain gate, so it is still within the core influence sphere of Qinglan Valley.
There is a Yunxi Town thirty miles away.
This is a cultivator's market that is several times larger than Baiyunfang. It also has an office set up by the sect, making it very convenient for purchasing supplies or taking on tasks.
If you need to learn advanced skills, participate in some sect activities, or rent a sect's cave for retreat and breakthrough, it is not far to return to the sect from here and it is very convenient to ask for leave.
Next.
Yu Xiao took a look around.
“It’s better than I thought!”
Xiaozhu Valley is like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Seventy percent of the valley is covered with bamboo forests. The sacred bamboos are generally as thick as a bowl and up to forty or fifty meters long. The bamboo bodies are slender and upright, as soft as jade, and emit bursts of fragrance.
Walk in it.
Quiet and elegant.
When the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, like the sound of nature.
Such an environment not only makes people feel relaxed and happy, but also makes them feel as if all worries are blown away by the wind.
What a great place to cultivate one’s character!
Deep in the bamboo forest, several streams and rivers converge into a small lake, and nearby there are several acres of newly opened spiritual fields.
Yu Xiao used local materials and spent about three days to build a bamboo house with its back against a bamboo forest and facing the lake. The terrain here is high, and one can overlook the entire small bamboo valley while sitting at the door.
The bamboo sea nearby is like waves.
In the distance, Qingyun Mountain is full of fairy charm.
From now on, I will farm, fish and dig bamboo shoots every day.
No need to worry about the passing of time, no need to panic about getting older, just be relaxed and free!
Who doesn't like this life?
Anyway, Yu Xiao was very satisfied!
The troubles in the world of immortal cultivation have nothing to do with him.
Yu Xiao just wants to enjoy life quietly!
"almost!"
Yu Xiao looked around the bamboo hut. It was suitable for daily living and cultivation, but he still needed to purchase some pots, pans, oil, salt, sauces, and various daily necessities.
read this.
Through the double doors comes the grand view.
About six months have passed since I broke through the third level of Qi Refining in seclusion.
this time.
Yu Xiao occasionally entered the big scene.
However, the number of times was not many and the stay time was very short, so naturally it did not promote the flow of time much.
This resulted in him experiencing a breakthrough in Qi Refining, participating in the Ascension Conference, successfully entering Qinglan Valley, being assigned to the Lingcao Garden, and then being sent to Xiaozhu Valley.
And the grand view world.
Still not much has changed.
At this moment, in Yangcheng, only about two weeks had passed since the establishment of the Martial Alliance.
Now in the newspaper.
He is still a prominent figure in the limelight.
This news has already been fully fermented and spread. Now, not only in Guangyue Province, but also in Beijing, Shanghai, and even overseas, there are many people discussing this matter.
Yu Xiao glanced at the stone tablet.
The personal information recorded thereon is as follows.
----
Name: Yu Xiao.
Physiological age: 23 years old.
Real age: 27 years old.
Reputation: 6121/12000 (famous nationwide).
Luck growth: 7 points per year.
Luck: 90. Merit: 439.
----
Reputation, luck and merit have all increased.
The reputation has been rising particularly rapidly. It has only been less than half a month since the Martial Alliance Conference, and it has already increased by more than 3700 points!
There is still no sign of slowing down in the growth rate!
It can be seen from this that the Martial Arts Alliance Conference has a considerable influence throughout the country and even the world, and Yu Xiao also became completely successful and famous because of this battle.
As for the increase in luck and merit, it is not difficult to understand.
Yu Xiao has basically stayed in the main world for the past six months. The gathering of luck will not stop due to changes in the world, and the frequency of transporting materials between the two worlds has been relatively low in the past year.
The growth of luck exceeds consumption.
It's not surprising.
Although the Wumeng was established not long ago, it has already investigated and executed several underworld scums who were responsible for murder and arson and other heinous crimes.
The Wumeng is a force that Yu Xiao completely controls. Every time he executes an evil cultivator, he will gain merit. In the long run, this is a source of income with great growth potential!
……
Back to Dajing
Yu Xiao walked out of Qinglong Lane.
Came to the nearby Shangxiajiu Road for shopping.
The old street with arcades and Nanyang style is still bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder and traffic as always.
The various snacks, including the rich-flavored beef offal, the clear and elegant wonton noodles, all kinds of desserts and snacks, as well as Western-style pastries and coffee, all exude the flavor of life.
Cantonese opera, piano, juggling, traditional folk crafts, peddlers selling groceries, and salesmen of various clothing all demonstrate the charm of business and culture.
A few minutes ago, I was still in a paradise, listening to the waves in the bamboo sea, just like a free and easy cloud and wild crane, cultivating my body and mind.
Now I am back to the real world and feel very down to earth.
Both lifestyles have their advantages.
Yu Xiao did some shopping.
From Edison phonographs to Patek Philippe pendulum clocks.
To the underglaze colored tableware produced in the Porcelain Capital, the silk pajamas from Sichuan and Shu, and the wool shops from Australia.
As well as purple clay tea sets, fishing rods, various daily necessities, etc.
These things are not heavy and will not cause much consumption. After moving into your own bamboo house, they can greatly improve the comfort of your future life.
When the selection and purchase are completed.
Yu Xiao returned to the big house in Qinglong Lane.
At this time, Tang Yang came to report an important piece of information.
"We have once again received secret intelligence from the Qianlong Gang. The arms purchased by the Wansha Gang will all arrive tonight!"
He continued with a serious expression:
"In addition, Wan Xiong, the leader of the Wansha Gang, is secretly gathering the top leaders and elite members of the gang. If the intelligence is true, they may take action against the Wumeng in the next two days at the earliest."
Yu Xiao frowned slightly.
As the saying goes, the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
I wanted to enjoy a leisurely life.
But there are always some guys who make people worry.
but.
this matter.
Yu Xiao has been paying attention.
I don't feel that surprised.
"Well, I see. It seems the time is ripe."
Yu Xiao said calmly: "Just ask all the halls to strengthen their vigilance in the next two days. The matter of the Ten Thousand Shark Gang will be resolved soon. You don't need to worry too much about this matter."
Tang Yang was stunned when he heard this.
Yu Xiao didn't say what he planned to do.
You can tell from Tang Yang’s understanding of Yu Xiao.
There is a high probability that Master Yu will take drastic measures against the Wansha Gang that are beyond everyone's expectations.
The Wansha Gang is not an ordinary force.
Not only do they possess a large number of guns and powerful firepower.
Gang leader Wan Xiong himself is a third-rank warrior, and there are also many top masters in the gang.
Want to deal with.
How easy is it?
Young Master Yu does not plan to withdraw personnel from the Ancient Martial Arts School or the Martial Alliance. Under this circumstance, how should he deal with them?
of course.
Despite being curious.
But I didn't ask more questions.
Of course Tang Yang didn't know.
In the Dajing world, Yu Xiao's cultivation level was only that of the fourth-grade blood energy, but in fact he was already a second-grade strong man.
Within the Wumeng.
If we only compare martial arts.
Only Yue Qingsong and Pu Hong can fight.
As the saying goes, young and strong are better at fighting. Although Yue Qingsong and Pu Hong are highly skilled in martial arts, they are old and their blood and energy are bound to be declining. Once they are in a stalemate, they may not necessarily win against Yu Xiao.
If Yu Xiao used some magic or elixirs, even the two of them combined would not be his match.
Compared with martial arts cultivation.
The methods used by immortal cultivators are the ultimate killer.
Yu Xiao doesn't like to be passive. Knowing that the Wansha Gang is against the Wumeng and even against him personally, why should he wait for the other party to make the first move? The first move is the best way!
……
That night.
disguise.
I took several carriage rides.
Yu Xiao appeared near Dongguan Wharf late at night.
The core business of the Wansha Gang is smuggling opium and opening illegal opium dens. They are an agent or glove trained by British aristocrats and some court officials in Guangzhou.
Therefore, the Wansha Gang has great influence in Dongguan Port.
The gang’s headquarters is located in the largest port.
Yu Xiao activated his perception technique and could clearly feel that today the Wansha Gang headquarters was heavily guarded inside and outside, with many patrols and sentries, and secret sentries even buried in some inconspicuous places.
Not only that.
The Wansha Gang has trained eight to ten large wolfhounds.
These fierce dogs are well-trained. If they detect a strange smell during night patrols, they will immediately become alert and issue a warning. No matter how skilled a martial artist is, it is difficult to sneak among them.
Yu Xiao looked at the wolfhound.
"It seems that just learning the art of invisibility and stealth is not enough. It is necessary to practice some secret arts to hide smell or other auras."
of course.
A few dogs.
It's not difficult for him.
Yu Xiao cast a light body spell on himself, activated the invisibility spell to hide his body, and used all his strength to activate the second-grade blood energy. He jumped more than ten meters away, flew over the eaves and walls without touching the ground, and arrived at a warehouse.
The warehouse is heavily guarded. Not only are there dozens of elite members of the Wansha Gang, but there is even a group of foreigners guarding it.
When Yu Xiao successfully got in, he found that there were also two guards inside, so he took out the Qingmang Sword and killed them instantly without anyone noticing.
Within a short period of time.
No one will notice the infiltration.
Yu Xiao began to check the things in the warehouse, and as expected, they were the arms that the Wansha Gang had just purchased.
"There are so many?"
"I'm afraid this is worth a fortune!"
These ten thousand taels of gold are equivalent to one million Dajing silver dollars.
Even the imperial court would find it difficult to take it out casually, so how could a gang in Yangcheng spend so much money on buying arms? This is obviously not reasonable!
The Wansha Gang doesn’t need so much equipment.
This batch of arms should just be held on behalf of others.
The real owner behind the scenes is most likely an Englishman.
Either it's smuggling or there's some other agenda, in any case it's definitely not a good thing.
Even for Yu Xiao, the number of guns and ammunition stored in this warehouse is quite huge!
It’s not that Yu Xiao can’t raise so much money.
The key is that his supply channels are limited, and he also needs to consider various risks. The monthly purchase volume fluctuates around 50,000 silver dollars. Any more may cause unnecessary trouble.
in other words.
Want to buy so much arms.
It takes about two years!
Most of Yu Xiao's channels came from Portuguese smugglers in Macau.
How can these red-haired devils be as powerful as the English? There are many weapons that they can't get, but they are seen here!
For example.
When opening a layer of sealed wooden box.
A brand new Maxim heavy machine gun appeared before our eyes.
Yu Xiao looked surprised.
This is something money can’t buy!
This thing is called "Electric Gun" by the people of Dajing, and "Butcher" and "Widow Maker" by Westerners. It is the most powerful firearm of this era!
It has only been developed for a little over ten years.
The output is very low and the cost is very high.
The price is said to be around four hundred pounds, which is roughly equivalent to 1600 silver dollars.
of course.
This is an overseas offer.
If you buy it domestically, it is not a matter of money.
A few years ago, after watching a demonstration of the Maxim machine gun in London, Beiyang Minister Zhang Hongtian was deeply impressed by its terrifying power, so he ordered its introduction. After a lot of effort, he only succeeded in ordering one.
Yu Xiao took a look.
There are ten of them here alone.
If it is used against warriors, it will basically be a massacre, and a grandmaster will surely die if he is hit head-on.
have nothing to say.
Thanks to Wansha for helping me get the heavy machine gun!
Yu Xiao took out the storage bag, collected all the items in one breath, and sent them into the stone hall space.
Naturally, other things could not be wasted, and everything that could be moved was moved away. With the help of storage bags and the stone hall, the huge warehouse with millions of dollars worth of arms was quickly looted!
