Martial Arts Immortal.

Chapter 124
In Octagon City.

Xuanningmen.

I'm leaving tomorrow, so I need to sign up in advance today.

In order not to attract attention, Lin Zheyu changed his appearance.

At this time, he looked like an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, the kind who would never be found in a crowd.

This appearance was created by Lin Zheyu after trying for a long time in front of the bronze mirror.

Through fine-tuning, it took a lot of effort to adjust his somewhat handsome face to look like a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance.

Arriving near Xuanning Gate, Lin Zheyu saw the team setting off for the Central Plains at a glance.

A strong man with a full beard was holding a wooden board with the words "Guangxuan Escort Bureau" and "Go to Central Plains Registration Point" written in two lines of large characters.

The person who organized this trip was the famous Guangxuan Escort Bureau in Bafang City.

Guangxuan Escort Agency has been passed down to this generation for four generations. Although it is not the best, it has a good reputation and is deeply trusted by people.

At first, Jia Yanyong and others made inquiries for Lin Zheyu several times, but they felt that the people in the organization were unreliable, so they did not say anything.

It wasn't until I found out about Guangxuan Escort's trip that I told him.

"This friend, how do I sign up to go to the Central Plains?"

Lin Zheyu stepped forward and asked curiously.

"After paying the silver, just register your name."

The strong man said with a smile.

There was a bit of honesty in his tone, giving people the feeling that he had no bad intentions and was trustworthy.

"Okay, how much silver do I need?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Just go over there and consult," the man said.

Lin Zheyu thanked the strong man and walked towards the stall nearby.

The person in charge of the stall is a young man.

Next to the young man stood a woman with a good figure, a delicate face, and a hint of heroism.

The woman looks very beautiful, heroic and has a different kind of charm, which is not inferior to Ren Qingying and Xu Yuxiang.

Lin Zheyu glanced at the two of them and saw their strength.

The young man was around the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, and the woman was quite strong. She had just broken through the Qi and Blood Realm, and her Qi and Blood were a little weak.

Judging from his age and age, he can have such strength, which shows that his talent is very outstanding.

"Hello, how much silver do I need to sign up to go to the Central Plains?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"The registration fee is one hundred silver taels, and we are only responsible for leading the way during the journey."

"To protect your safety on the road, you need to pay another 400 taels of silver."

"You also need to solve problems such as food, livestock for traveling, and accommodation by yourself. Of course, you can also buy them from us. You need to pay an additional 100 taels of silver."

The young man said calmly.

The heroic beauty on the side glanced at Lin Zheyu and saw that he was just a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, so she ignored him.

"It's really expensive."

Lin Zheyu cursed secretly.

Charging 100 taels of silver for a trip is extremely expensive. If other services are purchased, the total will be 700 taels of silver.

What a huge profit.

"I don't have much money, I just need to lead the way, please."

Lin Zheyu took out ten taels of gold from his arms and handed it over.

With his strength, he is also a top existence in Bafang City and does not need protection from others at all.

As for food, animals for traveling, etc., it only costs a few taels of silver to buy one or two oxcarts.

"name."

Hearing this, the young man glanced at Lin Zheyu and asked in a calm tone.

"Zhao Hao."

Lin Zheyu casually gave a false name.

"Okay, this is your jade token. Keep it safe. If it is lost, you need to buy it again."

"We will gather outside Xuanning's gate tomorrow at midnight. We won't wait until late." The young man said calmly.

"OK, thanks."

Lin Zheyu took the jade token.

This is a special jade plaque. It is very cheap and is estimated to be worth more than 100 yuan.

There are specific anti-counterfeiting marks on it, and it requires a skilled craftsman to forge it.

However, the young man will remember all the applicants, and it is impossible to fake it and get in.

"Another poor man."

The young man glanced at Lin Zheyu's leaving figure and muttered softly.

Not long after, many people came to sign up one after another.

After Lin Zheyu signed up, he left directly.

He needs to purchase some medicinal materials for blood-reinforcing and bone-strengthening soup.

During the journey, you can brew it into a decoction and take it after you have exceeded your limit to speed up your body's recovery.

If you encounter a dangerous situation, you can also use your source power to recover after taking the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction.

In addition to the medicinal materials for Yixuezhuanggutang, Juechen Ningxue Powder, barbecue seasonings, etc., we have a lot of them.

During this time, he made a lot of money through hunting.

After purchasing thirty pairs of medicinal materials for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction and ten pairs of Juechen Coagulating Blood Powder, there was still 300 taels of silver left.

These silver coins were all replaced with gold, making it easier to carry around.

The next morning.

Lin Zheyu carried the package early, put on the [-] kilograms of weight, and went out of the city.

He spent 2000 taels of silver to buy this heavy armor, but he could only get 600 taels of silver if he sold it directly. It was really a loss.

Lin Zheyu also took him on the road.

But it was difficult to carry [-] kilograms while walking. He put it on his body first, and then put it on the ox cart after he bought it.

Arriving outside the city, there was mist in the mountains and forests.

Lin Zheyu took out the hidden golden scale knife, inserted it into the prepared scabbard, then took out the bamboo whistle and blew it.

Not long after, Xiao Hei's figure jumped out of the fog.

"Let's go, leave here with me. I'll bake a lot of barbecue for you to eat." Lin Zheyu smiled and touched Xiao Hei's head.

Xiao Hei did not fully understand the meaning of this sentence.

But it understood the words barbecue and a lot.

Little Black's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but stand upright and rub his paws.

This is a little trick he likes to do when he can't hold back his inner excitement.

Lin Zheyu couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and took Xiao Hei to the door of Xuanning.

Xiao Hei was born with a strong ability to conceal aura. He followed Lin Zheyu and looked around curiously. He couldn't help but want to touch everywhere with his claws.

However, under Lin Zheyu's scolding, he held back.

There were many business teams coming and going at Xuanning Gate. Outside the city gate, a trade bazaar was formed with all kinds of travel supplies, ox carts, and horses.

In addition to these, there are also a variety of snacks, and the rich aroma fills the air.

Tweet -

Xiao Hei sniffed the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but drool.

It waved its paws, pointed at the barbecue cakes at the stall in the distance, and looked at Lin Zheyu longingly.

This little guy is a beast who only eats and sleeps. Now that he saw so many delicious things, he couldn't move his eyes away.

"Wait a moment, wait until I buy the bullock cart, and then I'll buy you food."

Lin Zheyu picked up Xiao Hei and said lightly.

He is currently wearing a [-] kilogram load, which is extremely taxing on his body. He needs to buy a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart first to remove the heavy armor.

Tweet -

Xiao Hei shouted dissatisfied, and immediately calmed down after being glared at by Lin Zheyu.

After following Lin Zheyu for so long, this little guy learned to read eyes, know when to make trouble, ask for food, and know when to behave.

Otherwise you will get beaten.

That fist hit my head, it still hurts.

"Shopkeeper, do you have an ox cart suitable for long journeys? It needs to be sturdy and durable."

Lin Zheyu walked into a shop specializing in selling bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages and asked.

In this era, the main means of travel were bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages.

The salute that Lin Zheyu carried was relatively heavy. The heavy armor alone weighed [-] kilograms. If traveling long distances, it would be better to use an ox cart to carry the weight and endurance.

"If you are traveling far, it is recommended that you buy an ox and horse. It combines the advantages of an ox and a horse. It has great strength, endurance and fast speed. It is most suitable for long journeys."

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Zheyu and saw the spiritual Xiao Hei squatting aside. His eyes lit up and he spoke.

Having been dealing with horses and wild animals all year round, although he could not see through Xiao Hei's strength, he could tell at a glance that the little thing in front of him was extremely extraordinary and very spiritual.

"Oh?"

"Can I take a look first?"

Lin Zheyu became interested.

There are extremely rich types of animals in this world. There are all kinds of ferocious beasts and beasts. It is also extremely normal for creatures like cows and horses to exist.

"Okay, please come with me."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Lin Zheyu followed the other party to a huge venue behind the house.

In the square, there are several areas divided into which various cattle, horses and livestock are kept.

"These are cows and horses. After we have domesticated them, they are docile and extremely obedient." The shopkeeper patted the cows and horses in the fence and said with a smile.

Looking at the cows and horses in front of him, Lin Zheyu couldn't help but sigh, they really deserve to be called cows and horses.

The creature in front of me combines the characteristics of a cow and a horse.

The limbs are extremely strong and powerful, the body is strong and full of muscles, the head is like a horse's head, and the tail is swaying like a horse's tail.

"Let it out and give it a try." Lin Zheyu said.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper released the strongest cow and horse that Lin Zheyu had chosen.

Lin Zheyu patted its back, tapped his toes, turned over and jumped up.

More than 500 kilograms of weight suddenly increased on the back. The cow and horse staggered for two steps before regaining their balance.

"Hey!" The shopkeeper exclaimed in surprise.

He knew very well the strength and endurance of oxen and horses. Even if five hundred kilograms of weight were suddenly carried on their backs, they would not move at all.

According to the method taught by the shopkeeper, Lin Zheyu drove the cattle and horses and walked in the field.

Chirp——hiss——

When Xiao Hei saw this, his eyes lit up, and with a whoosh, he stood on the head of the cow and horse.

Da da da.

The hooves made a clicking sound on the soil.

The huge weight on the back made the cow and horse leave a deep hoof mark on the ground with every step they took.

However, its pace is extremely steady, its breath is long, and there is no sign of fatigue.

"Not bad!"

"Just choose it. How much silver is needed to configure a sturdy and durable carriage?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Sir, you are the first customer today. If we come together, we can give you a discount, a total of 60 taels of silver."

The shopkeeper suppressed the excitement in his heart and said quickly.

"Okay, let's make the soft furnishings in the carriage better and softer."

Lin Zheyu said cheerfully, without bargaining.

With his worth, 60 taels of silver was just a small sum. If he had time to catch a vicious beast in the Qi and Blood realm and sell it, it would be more than this amount.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

The shopkeeper said excitedly.

This man is obviously not short of money.

The price the shopkeeper just offered was much higher than the market price, which gave Lin Zheyu room to bargain.

If the other party bargained for half the price, he would agree to it, but he didn't expect Lin Zheyu to agree directly. This is really great!

Encouraged by the high profits, the shopkeeper was very attentive to his work and quickly prepared the carriage.

The carriage is large and covered with soft cushions, making it very comfortable to sit on.

Lin Zheyu also asked the shopkeeper for two boxes, one for heavy armor and the other for other items.

Behind the carriage, there is a frame hanging on it, which is filled with a mixture of grass seeds and various grains.

These materials are used to feed cattle and horses. Lin Zheyu spent 100 taels of silver to buy more than a month's worth of materials.

Chirp - chirp -

Xiao Hei was sitting in the carriage, jumping excitedly.

The soft cushions made it very comfortable to sit on. As a ferocious beast, it was the first time for it to enjoy this feeling.

Driving an ox-carriage and walking in the market outside the city, Lin Zheyu purchased a lot of snacks along the way, including many various snacks.

Tweet -

Xiao Hei was leaning on the soft cushion, holding food in his paws, and kept nibbling on it. His expression looked very enjoyable.

The sky is getting brighter, and the golden sunshine is shining, bringing warmth to the earth.

There was still a lot of time before Chen Shi, Lin Zheyu drove the cattle and horses to the meeting point.

At this time, many people had gathered at the assembly point.

The members of the Guangxuan Escort Bureau all wear specific clothes and can be recognized at a glance.

In addition to the people from the Guangxuan Escort Agency, there were many young men and women who were accompanying them. They were all good in strength. Judging from their age and strength, they were all talented and potential warriors.

"Are these people planning to go to the Central Plains?"

A hint of curiosity arose in Lin Zheyu's heart, and he looked at the people on this trip.

The people who went to the Central Plains together were all very strong, and no one was lower than the Zang Refining Realm.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of Guangxuan Escort Agency came over and glanced at the people who were going to the Central Plains with the Escort Agency this time.

There were a total of 83 people accompanying him.

"The destination of this journey to the Central Plains is Ruyang City. Once we get there, the journey ends."

"Next, those whose names I read will take a step forward. The rest can only follow the team and take their own safety."

The middle-aged man said lightly.

Next to him stood the young man who was in charge of registration yesterday.

The middle-aged man stepped forward when his name was called, and then the young man checked the other person's identity.

Soon, the list was finished.

Among the 83 people, 72 paid 700 taels of silver, and the remaining 11 people only paid 100 taels for the toll.

From this trip alone, not counting the cost of the escort, Guangxuan Escort Bureau earned more than 5 taels of silver.

"What a huge profit!"

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but sigh.

More than 5 taels of silver, even if he went hunting every day with the help of Xiao Hei, it would take him nearly a year to earn it.

But this time, Guangxuan Escort Bureau also dispatched many strong men.

Three marrow-training realm warriors, three qi-blood fourth-transformation, four qi-blood-transformation three, one qi-blood second-transformation, dozens of peak viscera-refining realm warriors, and hundreds of bone-forging realm peak warriors.

This trip, it is estimated that all the elite members of the Guangxuan Escort Bureau were dispatched.

Lin Zheyu looked at the goods escorted by Guangxuan Escort Bureau and was very curious about what goods they escorted.

The team was assembled and set off soon.

Those who paid 700 taels of silver were protected by people from the Guangxuan Escort Bureau.

As for Lin Zheyu and the others, because they only paid 100 taels in tolls and had no protection services, they could only drive cattle and carriages and follow the people from the Guangxuan Escort Agency.

Many people saw this and wanted to follow them secretly, but they were forced to retreat by force from the Guangxuan Escort Agency.

It's such a good thing if you still want to keep up without paying.

The team was neither fast nor slow. Guangxuan Escort Agency, like Lin Zheyu, also used oxen and horses.

This kind of powerful, endurance and fast animal is most suitable for escorting goods over long distances.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Zheyu sat outside the carriage, holding a whip and whipping the cows and horses when they strayed.

This cow and horse have been trained to have the same name.

Lin Zheyu whipped it a few times, and it knew to follow the team in front without Lin Zheyu correcting it.

The journey was very boring.

Lin Zheyu divided time into two parts.

For three hours, he studied the poison code and studied the poison path and its principles.

Practice the secret technique of boiling blood for two hours, trying to cultivate this technique to a perfect level as soon as possible.

The team traveled from morning to evening.

After it got dark, we found a flat spot to camp for the night.

Lin Zheyu took some cattle and horse materials from the frame behind the carriage and fed them.

The stomachs of cows and horses are more like those of cows, with the function of chewing cud. Generally, after eating a large amount at night, they can continue on their way during the day without stopping to eat.

Therefore, this kind of livestock is extremely suitable for traveling long distances.

However, cattle and horses are very expensive, and ordinary families or powerful people are generally reluctant to use such livestock.

crackling—

The bonfire rises.

Because Lin Zheyu only paid 100 taels of silver, he could only build a bonfire not far away and solve the food problem by himself.

He picked up some dry firewood nearby and lit a bonfire for lighting.

Xiao Hei, who had been lying dead in the carriage for a day, rushed out excitedly when he saw the team stopped.

Without Lin Zheyu's instructions, Xiao Hei disappeared without a trace.

When it reappeared, Xiao Hei was seen standing upright, holding the beast's neck in his mouth, supporting the beast's body with two paws, and running quickly from the forest.

With a small body, he was carrying a beast three times its size, attracting everyone's attention.

"Go pick up more firewood."

Lin Zheyu ordered.

He had just picked up some dry firewood nearby. If he wanted to roast such a big beast, such a small amount of dry firewood was not enough.

Tweet -

Xiao Hei barked twice happily and disappeared again.

As a ferocious beast, the darkness of the night had little effect. It quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, returning from time to time with a large handful of dry firewood, and then disappeared again.

In the Guangxuan Escort Bureau, the three leaders of the Marrow Training Realm warriors also noticed Lin Zheyu.

"Brother Feng, what kind of ferocious beast is that? It looks very spiritual." The man on the left asked curiously.

The man's name is Cui Xiaojun, he is the third oldest, but he is the strongest among the three.

The person he asked about was Cui Xiaofeng, the eldest and the weakest among the three, but the most knowledgeable.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

"There are so many kinds of ferocious beasts in this world, how can it be possible to know every one of them." Cui Xiaofeng shook his head and said.

He looked curiously at Xiao Hei who was collecting firewood everywhere.

The strength of this ferocious beast was extraordinary, but Cui Xiaojun couldn't see through Xiao Hei's specific strength, which made him unable to help but feel curious.

"Grandpa, do you like that ferocious beast?"

"Do you want me to go find that person and buy the beast?"

The woman on the side spoke out.

The woman looked heroic, with an extremely delicate face. Under the firelight, her face was red, which was really beautiful.

"No, I'm just curious about it."

"Mengruo, after arriving in Ruyang City and joining the Liangyi Sect, you must concentrate on practicing martial arts there and strive to break through to the Huajin realm as soon as possible."

Cui Xiaofeng said with a smile, looking at Cui Mengruo with eyes full of endearment.

Cui Mengruo is the most talented among the younger members of the Cui family. He has broken through to the Qi and Blood realm at a young age.

Therefore, when they set out this time, they took Cui Mengruo with them, intending to let Cui Mengruo join the big forces in the Central Plains.

This is the real stage for a genius like Cui Mengruo.

"Well, grandpa, Mengruo will work hard." Cui Mengruo nodded and said firmly.

crackling~~
The fire flickered.

Lin Zheyu handled the beast's body leisurely.

This beast is not very strong. This area is not Xiao Hei's territory after all. When it goes out, it can only hunt ordinary beasts in a short time.
