Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

Chapter 252 Promotion to the Fourth Rank [Escort Master] (Part )
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is the system of ghostly costumers or magicians, or the system of other market masters who specialize in trading.

Or maybe it's the Beima Zhenjun system outside the customs trade, which all abide by one order... that is confidentiality.

To protect the confidentiality of guests, whether it is purchases, identities, etc.

All kept confidential.

After all, only by adhering to this most basic order can we gain the trust of guests, and subsequent transactions can proceed smoothly.

But what Tian Cai said today is undoubtedly a violation of the confidentiality order.

Li Daoxuan looked at him deeply. As a believer of the Nine Supreme Beings, he could do such a betrayal of order for himself.

It shows that he really regards himself as a life-long friendship.

Immediately, Tian Cai didn't stop much. Li Daoxuan still had 57 merits in total, after giving out 20.

Before leaving, Tian Cai gave him another address.

One is in the south, at an address within Shogunate Castle.

Li Daoxuan silently wrote it down and returned to the city.

In just a moment, Zhou Yaya came back with Li Peishan.

"Son, I have persuaded all the people who went east to Shanshui City to go back."

"And on the way back, Ms. Zhou... Miss Zhou also released her aura, which frightened and drove away the evil spirits nearby, so there is probably no problem."

Li Peishan's eyes shone and he was very energetic.

In his opinion, this kind of gathering of city citizens is the same as conquering the world for himself... and for his son.

He is naturally full of energy.

"I estimate that most of the people went north at that time and wanted to go to Shenwu City. That's where the big head is. I'll go there as soon as possible. I'll try to persuade as many people as possible to come back."

"it is good."

Dad was willing to help, so Li Daoxuan naturally used it to his death.

After all, he is his father, and he is one of his own.

"Let Fang Jie go with you this time. I have something to do, and Zhou Yaya wants to come with me."

"it is good."

Fang Jie didn't hesitate at all. Anyway, it was whatever Brother Li said.

Do whatever Brother Li asks you to do.

Zhou Yaya didn't say anything, so there was no problem.

Li Daoxuan looked at Tan Xiao and Zhou Xu again, both of whom were reincarnated.

And the methods they know... are all the same, and they are not very good at fighting.

"If you two have time, re-plan the layout of this wizard city."

"Use the secular restrictions better, and if appropriate, expand the territory of Witch City."

"When the time comes, we will build a new city based on this Witch City."

Everything is in vain, and Li Daoxuan is full of energy now.

There is no additional pressure to survive, but it is also the biggest pressure.

Li Daoxuan has never experienced such a state since he left Puliu Town.

In the past, I was running for survival. From the beginning to the end, there was a sword of Damocles hanging over my head. If I was not careful, I would die.

But it's different now.

He is powerful, has many means, and is surrounded by a group of capable people with various means.

The pressure in my heart of running around to stay alive is finally much lessened.

"Brother Daoxuan, don't worry. I'm not good at fighting, but I still know a little bit about other things."

Since Tanxiao agreed, it meant that he was really reliable.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yaya, and without saying much, he gestured to go south with his eyes.

Zhou Yaya naturally let go of her territory and took him away.

It feels good to have a Grade A evil spirit who can do whoring for free.

Straddling the sky above the Yaoying River, Li Daoxuan didn't have any scruples. He took out the foundation of the [Shengshou] he bought from Tian Cai and swallowed it in one gulp.

A foundation was swallowed into the belly.

It was only for a moment that there was a stinging feeling, but after the stinging passed, the foundation was swallowed up.

He could only feel that his foundation was a little stronger, a little more tacky, and he felt nothing else.

But soon, text popped up on the illusory panel.

[When you take the foundation, the number of times you carry the scale +2, the scale range +1 feet, and the fair enhancement can be used once in two days. 】

Originally there were 4 weights, but now there are 6.

The promotion scale also changed from 1 Zhang to Zhang.

The original cooldown of Fairness was 3 days, now it is days.

It's okay. With just one piece of foundation, the strength can only be said to be a regular improvement.

Moreover, the foundation I have in my body does not have that feeling of fullness.

It means that with one or two more coins, the problem shouldn't be big.

You might even be able to get promoted directly to the fourth-rate [Escort Master] in one go.

With sweet dreams in mind, Zhou Yaya's voice rang in my ears.

"Which way to go?"

The Shogunate City is in the south. If you go west, you will enter the area covered by the ghost lake. To the east... there are continuous mountains, which are also the territory where the Gu God believers are located.

"To the west."

Tian Cai gave the man's location. As for the Kanyu map south of the Yaoying River...Li Daoxuan, as the lord of Shouwu City, naturally has it.

The purple stream of light above the sky turned straight to the west, and not far away, it entered the mountains.

In fact, even if most Class A evil spirits have their own consciousness, they also have their own coverage area.

Under normal circumstances, they will not move wildly.

Unless something special happens.

Class A evil spirits like Zhou Yaya, who are not much different from humans, are still in the minority.

……

at the same time.

There is a ghost market in the depths of Baihua Mountain called [Baihua Valley]. Its owner calls himself "Baihua Gongzi". He looks young, but in fact he is already a hundred years old.

He likes to wear pink robes all year round, and his body has the fragrance of flowers.

Therefore, in the food world of Shogunate City, he has always been called...Rabbit Master.

There are even rumors that in his early years, before he embarked on the path of a grain eater, he was a guest in a brothel.

So I got better at this.

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, and he himself has not refuted it. Over time, everyone thinks so.

At this moment, in the Ghost Market of Baihua Valley.

This young man wearing a pink robe was walking through, and occasionally there were women setting up stalls around him. Whenever they saw him, they would call him "sister" affectionately.

Yingyingyanyan, so lively.

Mr. Baihua also enjoys this feeling, being misunderstood and laughed at... so what?
I have been working hard for a long time, and now it is finally the harvest season.

When he thought of the mermaid bone box in his body, he felt happy. All he had to do was wait until tonight and become a fourth-rate [Escort Master].

Ha ha.

Who would dare to laugh at themselves then?
Even when he went to the Shogunate City, Zhang Yihe was treated with courtesy. As long as he relaxed a little... he could even give out the position of the deputy city lord.

When that time comes, the people who insulted me in the past will just kneel down in front of me like dogs!
Coming from a humble background, he has always known what it means to be patient.

While thinking about it, he returned all the way to his residence, a two-story building called "Baihua Xiaozhu" located in the deepest part of this ghost city.

This is a place where every woman would like to come, with the fragrance of flowers, small lake, pavilions, bead curtains and jade curtains.

After Mr. Baihua arrived here, he naturally returned to his room, opened the secret passage, and came to the underground.

After all, this is the only place... that is his real home.

As soon as I got here, there was an extremely rich blood.

There were also screams of men, who were tied, hung, cut or chopped.

And these people are all the people Baihuagongzi investigated secretly and learned from other places that they had insulted him in private.

Even if you say it, it is also a sin.

If you can't beat it, there's nothing you can do. If you can beat it... then you have to hit hard.

This is the code of conduct of the Hundred Flowers.

Regardless of their scoldings and begging for mercy, Baihuazi came all the way to his own... bedroom.

He himself named it this way, and he also found out the name from ancient books, saying it was passed down from Zhongjiuliu.

This was very useful to him.

But at this moment, when he just returned to his dormitory, he found... there was someone else inside.

a man.

He is sitting in the middle of this stone chamber, even the chair is his own... He dislikes me?
He didn’t even want to sit on my chair, but the chair he brought with him.

Baihuagong's extremely finely trimmed eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he could feel that the aura of the person in front of him... was the same as his own.

They are all fifth-rate [Shengshou].

To be on the safe side...he didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.

In his opinion, fighting at the same level is a bit too dangerous. He always only likes to use the big to bully the small, and never fights in the same level. So when I saw this extremely masculine man in front of me, he made a coquettish gesture... but didn't wait for him to speak.

He just blinked slightly and realized that he had been...disemboweled? !
Without giving a reaction or a chance to speak, just take action? !

"What rubbish, it disgusts me to death."

Hearing this disgusting tone, Baihuazi, who was originally trembling under the threat of death, calmed down.

He boasts that although he is not a big shot, as a fifth-rate [promoted hand], he is somewhat capable.

But now... is the person in front of me really a fifth-rate grain eater?

Oh, what if a grain eater becomes a fifth-rate person?
Mr. Baihua always felt that he was cautious enough, but in the end... he could only watch his foundation being dug away.

Then, his head was chopped off with a knife.

His consciousness completely disappeared, and Mr. Baihua never thought that his life and death would end so hastily.

Li Daoxuan dug out his foundation and took off the sumeru from his waist.

He took out a mermaid bone box, opened it, and felt the familiar throbbing coming from inside.

"That's it!"

He also took in the newly obtained foundation, and then black mist enveloped the entire underground. As the black mist dissipated, his figure also disappeared.

No one knew he had come, and naturally no one knew he had left.

All that is known is the body of the Hundred Flowers Boy, which has been burned to ashes.

……

"That's it."

Li Daoxuan didn't go far, so he found a cave nearby.

"Not going back?" Zhou Yaya was a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Daoxuan to be so anxious.

"What are you going back for? They are enough in Hand Witch City." Li Daoxuan said, his eyes twinkling, "With these three foundations, I will probably be promoted to the fourth-rate [Escort Master]."

"If you want to move forward and be promoted to a third-rate [Yamen] officer, in addition to etiquette, you also need three foundations of a fourth-rate [Escort Master]."

"They are all grain-eaters of the [Oil Seller] system. Naturally, this is the most numerous grain-eaters in the shogunate city. Instead of going back, we might as well hang out here for a while and see if we can get a few more foundations of fourth-rate grain-eaters."

It is said that Li Daoxuan has no arrangements. In fact, he has many arrangements, but he is just too lazy to talk to others.

"This should also be difficult... In the current lower-level world, fourth-level grain eaters can basically serve as deputy city lords of the three major cities, and there are not many left to kill."

Zhou Yaya helped analyze.

"I've thought about this too." Li Daoxuan's excitement gradually subsided, "It's okay. If you can't kill anyone, you can only deal with the Nine Supreme Beings."

In addition to killing the grain eaters to obtain the foundation, there is another way and that is...sacrifice.

Offer sacrifices to the Nine Supreme Beings and pray to the gods to grant the grain-eaters the foundation.

During the discussion, one person and one ghost had already arrived at the entrance of the mountain cave, and the wind in the cave sent bursts of Yin Qi.

Li Daoxuan stood here, and the common skill [Knowing All Things] started automatically. He quickly identified that there was an evil spirit hiding here.

He is currently in peak condition, plus Zhou Yaya is here.

Even if he encountered a Class A evil spirit, it would still be a sure win situation, so he walked in without any scruples.

The cave is cold and damp, and there are still drops of water falling on the stone walls.

The domain swept away, and his and Zhou Yaya's figures disappeared immediately. When they reappeared, they were in a stone room deep in the cave.

The stone chamber is empty and filled with stalactite pillars formed by dripping water, which is extremely beautiful.

But at this moment, they stopped in front of a small puddle.

There was a bundle of black hair floating in the puddle, and the black hair was blooming in the water, as if a woman's head was sinking at the bottom of the water.

Evil spirits are only level C evil spirits.

Li Daoxuan was not polite. He extended his butcher knife and split the bundle of hair into two halves with a wave of his hand.

The evil spirit fell to the ground and turned into a hairband.

Li Daoxuan didn't even bother to pick up the materials that were transformed into Level C evil spirits.

When he turned around, he saw Zhou Yaya standing in front of a stalactite.

"what happened?"

"Dibao." Zhou Yaya pointed at a small white flower blooming on the stalactite.

"Dibao?"

Li Daoxuan's voice was a little surprised, and he came to the stalactite in one step.

He naturally remembered Dibao, the product of the second tide, and he had only eaten it once before.

I never thought that I would encounter this thing if I randomly picked a cave today.

'Is this the benefit of my high merit and luck? '

'You can bump into treasures while walking. '

Li Daoxuan looked at the four-petaled white flower in full bloom. He reached out to pick it, spread it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it for a few times.

Soon, text popped up on the panel.

[Perhaps due to the blessing of the world, the pig butcher walking in the unknown mountain unexpectedly encountered the treasure "Stone Bell Flower". Your survival points +3 (blue). 】

The panel gave a definite answer and also gave me 3 survival points.

It can be considered a double happiness.

"I ate."

He swallowed it in one gulp and felt nothing else. When Dibao entered his stomach, it turned into Qi and blood and dispersed.

[When you take Dibao, your Qi and blood will +0.4]

A total of 0.7 qi and blood points were added before and after.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the panel again, and his blood level was now "78.5".

This energy and blood point... should be enough for him to be promoted to a fourth-rate grain eater.

"I'll try it here first...please keep an eye on me." This is also the purpose of Li Daoxuan bringing Zhou Yaya here.

She has a domain and is extremely safe when let go.

He is also the best person to protect himself.

"Okay, don't worry."

After Zhou Yaya finished speaking, the purple field opened up, covering not only the entire cave, but even the entire mountain.

In the cave, Li Daoxuan found a clean place, sat down cross-legged, and after calming his breathing, he took out the mermaid bone box from the Sumeru.

Open it, and there are three living foundations that are still beating inside.

He took out one of the moderately active ones, took a deep breath, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The smell of blood is mixed with a faint aroma of meat, and when you taste it carefully, there is also the sweet aroma of chewed grains...and this is the basic taste.

After swallowing it, the stinging pain became much stronger this time, and his expression changed instantly.

This little sting was nothing to Li Daoxuan, who had experienced many storms.

What really made his expression change was that after swallowing the foundation, he felt a sense of fullness in his body.

And it was quite strong. He estimated that he felt six to seventy percent full.

In this case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take the second pill in succession... But it's not necessarily the case. Let's see what the panel says later.

The foundation is swallowed and refined, and text appears on the panel.

[When you take the foundation, the number of times you carry the scale +2, the scale range +1 feet, and the fair enhancement can be used once a day. 】

In general there is not much difference.

Only [Fairness] has changed from once every three days to once a day.

This made Li Daoxuan regret not taking this step earlier. Otherwise, he could have gained more in the Evil Suppressing Tower.

Feeling very full, he took out the mermaid bone box again and opened it. The living foundation inside was beating.

But this time he was not in a hurry to take it, but was waiting for the prompt from the panel.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, text appeared on the panel.

[When people are living in the secular world, the greedy pig butcher actually thinks of ignoring the digestion of the foundation in the body, thinking of taking two foundations in succession, and stepping into the fourth-rate grain eaters in one fell swoop. Maybe... are you tired of living? 】

The corners of Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched and he wisely put away the mermaid bone box.

Another text pops up on the panel.

[I never thought that the reckless pig butcher would listen to the advice one day. Maybe he finally gave in? Your strong Qi and blood allow you to digest this foundation within three days. If you want to take it again, you need to wait until three days later, and your survival points will be +5 (blue). 】

Finally getting a reliable and useful breath from the panel, Li Daoxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, let's take it easy. I'm already too full after taking two pills in a row. If I want to take it, I have to wait a few days."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Yaya's figure appeared in front of him.

……

at the same time.

In a villa outside Dancing Girl City.

The dancer and maid were frowning at an old sheepskin in their hands.

The maid looked at it for a while and then whispered: "Miss, the task given to you by the city lord... I guess you can't do it without external help."

"Ah."

The dancer frowned, "We definitely can't do it alone, but Master said again, we can only find one..."

After saying that, they looked at each other.

They all saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Li Daoxuan!"
