As expected, none of the students who had bullied An Zheng in the Nanshan Street School had come to attend class. An Zheng's performance in one day had completely scared those fellows who were previously vicious in front of him out of their courage. Wang Meng and the other two were severely injured by An Zheng, and they were probably lying in their homes moving. As for Gao Di, after he was brought away by the bullies' society's Zhang Lei, they temporarily did not know what would happen to him.
An Zheng used the medicine he made up the night before, then took a hot bath. Although he still felt a bit uncomfortable inside his body, it was already much better than yesterday. He told Zhong Jiuge to sit at home. With the window open, he sat cross-legged on the brick bed and did not move an inch. Zhong Jiuge was silent for a moment. Then, he found a urinal and placed it under his robe, saying that it was to be used in case of an emergency.
An Zheng called Du Shoushou to go with him to the Academy, and upon entering, he realised that the house was practically empty. In fact, there were times when people's personalities were contagious as well. In Nanshan Street School, when Gao Di and the others bullied An Zheng, others saw it, and they also bullied him. The effect of the environment on humans was this huge. When the remaining people in the academy saw An Zheng and Du Shoushou enter, they all had complicated expressions on their faces.
An Zheng sat down on his seat and closed his eyes to think.
Although he had managed to control his own injuries, his body's condition was still too poor. If he wanted to use cultivation level s that had recovered their peak period to take revenge on Da Xi, he had to think of a way to heal his body first. No matter how strong the soul was and how many things there were in his memories, they would be of great help to An Zheng in the current situation he was facing, but it would be difficult to say in the future.
The Grand Kou Tang was actually very poor, they did not lack for silver, but they lacked for heavenly and earthly treasures that could create tempering the body s. With An Zheng's experience, he naturally knew the position of the Grand Kou Tang in the entire Fantasy Eternal Residence City. The Nanshan Street was just a street that could not be considered big in Fantasy Eternal Residence City. Since the Grand Kou Tang was not completely in control, everything depended on the Chen Family's expression, so the Grand Kou Tang was not ranked anywhere.
Right now, An Zheng's body could be considered qualified, he needed the help of sufficient ingredients before he could proceed with the marrow cleansing and enter the Purified Stage. Du Shoushou's physique was ordinary, if he wanted to cultivate, he would have to rely on medicinal ingredients to change his physique. An Zheng could not leave alone, he had to bring Du Shoushou with him.
So from the looks of it, the fastest way was to get some useful herbs from the Chen Family.
"Fatty, do you know where in Fantasy Eternal Residence City there is a black market?"
An Zheng suddenly asked.
Du Shoushou was startled: "Why are you asking about this?"
An Zheng asked: Do you want to cultivate?
Du Shoushou replied: "Of course I want to, even in my dreams."
An Zheng patted Du Shoushou's shoulder: "I know how to cultivate, but I need to have enough spirit stone. I think that there aren't many low rank spirit stone in the Grand Kou Tang, so we can only think of a way on the black market. "
Du Shoushou couldn't cultivate, but he had a brother who worked as a servant in a small sect. Every time his brother returned, he would talk about some things related to the cultivator. Therefore, Du Shoushou also knew that, for ordinary people to be able to cultivate, the only way was for them to obtain enough spirit stone s, and then invite an expert to use the tempering the body s of spirit stone s. Only then would they be able to change their physiques. But to ordinary people, the value of a low rank spirit stone could never be obtained.
"My brother said that a single low rank spirit stone could be sold for 50,000 silver on the black market. He said that in order for an ordinary person to change their physique and be able to cultivate, they would need at least twelve low rank spirit stone, plus a Xumi Stage Ranker who was willing to help in order for the marrow cleansing to work. "
Du Shoushou shook his head, "That is several hundred thousand taels of silver, not three thousand and two thousand. Even if we have money, where can we get the help of a Xumi Stage Ranker? An Zheng, I heard that the strongest cultivation level in Grand Kou Tang is only at the early stage of the Purified Stage. "
An Zheng said: "As long as there's a way to get the spirit stone, I will think of the rest. "The point is that we lack silver. The only way is to go to the black market and gamble on the stones."
Du Shoushou: "That's impossible, my brother said before that everything sold on the black market are all fake. There weren't any spiritual jade in any of the stones, and they were all scammers. Furthermore, the ones controlling the stone gambling on the black market were powerful forces, so those who were cheated wouldn't dare to say a word. If a kid like us goes, we'll be played to death. "
An Zheng said: "Of course we won't be able to see a genuine good stone, so we need to borrow strength. Isn't the Chen Family's people contacting me? I plan to contact the Chen Family's people. With the Chen Family's power in the Nanshan Street, it would not be impossible for them to not see a single stone that contains spiritual jade. "
"Chen Family is too dangerous."
Du Shoushou grasped An Zheng's arm tightly: "You saw it too, how the people of Chen Family look. That Chen Pu, is so sinister and sinister as a venomous snake, no one knows when he will wrap around us and take a bite. They won't let you off after you've injured and killed the people of Chen Family. Furthermore ? The one you just injured, is even Chen Pu's son. "
An Zheng laughed: "Chen Pu, you are just a small fry. As long as you have the heart to cultivate, I will definitely let you cultivate. "
Du Shoushou opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. A warm feeling flowed through his heart, causing him to want to cry. Even though he knew that with the strength of An Zheng and his two children, it would be extremely difficult for them to rely on themselves to obtain the ability to cultivate, he would rather believe that everything that An Zheng said could be realized.
While the two of them were talking in low voices, a person suddenly stood outside the door and peeked inside the house with shifty eyes. At this time, the room was very quiet. The people from the Nine Kou Clan had yet to come to class, so most of them were sleeping on the table. This man looked around the room, and then waved his hand towards An Zheng: "Lord An, can you come out for a bit?"
An Zheng got up from the chair with the kitten in his arms, and casually walked to the door: "Is there something you need?"
The person who was standing outside the door, was the big brother of the bullies' society, Zhang Lei, who had been beaten until he was almost crippled by An Zheng. When he saw An Zheng coming out, he nodded and bowed, "Lord An, our Young Master said that he will visit the Jushang Yard in the afternoon. If Lord An is free, he can accompany us to take a look."
His young master, was of course the young master of the Chen Family, Chen Shaobai.
Jushang Yard was the only auction house in Nanshan Street, and it was said that it could sometimes sell one or two good items that made people jealous. Most of the people in the Fantasy Eternal Residence City were desperate criminals, and these people used their own lives as the wager, going to the depths of the Mount Cangman to hunt Low level magical beast s, and to obtain crystal core s to send to the auction house to sell. However, most of the profits were taken up by the auction house, and not many fugitives managed to get their hands on it. Moreover, this silver had flowed into the brothels or casinos opened by the major powers.
"Alright."
An Zheng's answer was very straightforward: "Tell young master Chen that I will wait for him at the entrance of Jushang Yard in the afternoon."
Hearing An Zheng's agreement, a relieved expression appeared on Zhang Lei's broken face, "Alright, this lowly one will go back to report now. Oh right, Lord An, Gao Di... Being crippled by me was better than killing him. That brat is now left in the mountains by me, waiting to die. If Lord An has any other orders, just say it. "
An Zheng shook his head: "No, you can go now."
Zhang Lei bowed, then turned and ran, as if he was looking at a peerless devil beast.
"Let's go."
An Zheng pulled at Du Shoushou: "There will be no one from Grand Kou Tang coming to class today. Chen Family and Grand Kou Tang might have a dispute in secret. If you want to cultivate, you can't be lazy. The world is unfair. Some people are born with good physiques, and most people are just as ordinary as you and me. We're already a lot slower than we thought. A genius with good physique could cultivate as soon as he was born, and could already enter the Purified Stage at the age of three or five. And we are already ten years old and have not started yet. "
"So, we have to work harder than those geniuses. You will have to come home with me and start from the body technique training. From now on, you won't have time to play around. Remember all the acupuncture points, then practice the speed and strength of your moves. "Before I find a way to change our physiques, you must at least live up to your desire to cultivate."
Du Shoushou nodded his head: "An Zheng, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
After the two of them left the academy, the remaining children in the room all let out a long breath. They didn't know why, but as An Zheng sat there, they felt a huge pressure as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back.
Returning back to An Zheng's home, An Zheng realized that the people from the Chen Family had already left. This caused An Zheng to be a little surprised. The Chen Family couldn't even keep this little bit of manpower, it was obvious that they met with some big trouble. Since no one from Grand Kou Tang came to class today, coupled with the fact that young master Chen Shaobai of the Chen Family was about to go to Jushang Yard, An Zheng had a nagging feeling that the Nanshan Street would probably face a bloody storm if these things were to be linked.
Seeing An Zheng coming back, Zhong Jiuge's face twisted.
"Master, you're finally back."
When Zhong Jiuge saw An Zheng, it was as if he saw his savior. His face was twisted, as if his face was going to cramp up. As soon as An Zheng entered the door, he asked about the smell of urine and could not help but frown: "This is?"
Zhong Jiuge said: "Lord An, you said that I am not allowed to move. I just sat there cross-legged, not daring to even drink a mouthful of water. But... But there are some things that you can't control. "
"Did you pee? Didn't you prepare the urinal? "
"Yeah, I was prepared, I hid it under my clothes, but ?" "I'm not aiming at ?"
An Zheng covered his face, "Forget it, let's go out and train then. Let this guy change his clothes."
Fatty walked out of the room with a smile. He turned around and gave Ye Zichen a thumbs up, "You're so professional, even if you peed your pants you wouldn't move."
Zhong Jiuge replied, "Of course, this is my professional ethics."
An Zheng went out to teach Du Shoushou how to identify acupoints, then he practiced the accuracy of his movement speed. An Zheng had also trained so hard in the past. Du Shoushou was born lazy, but the moment he thought of cultivating in the future, he gritted his teeth and persevered. He suddenly felt that he was far worse off than An Zheng. Turning his head to look at An Zheng, he discovered that An Zheng was squatting at the side of the courtyard and roasting sweet potatoes.
"An Zheng, didn't you say that you can practice it together with us ?"
"I don't need to train in this stage, I won't be able to improve even if I don't change my physique."
Just as An Zheng finished answering, he saw a small palanquin being carried outside the courtyard. Four muscular men dressed in black carried the palanquin to the door.
"Lord An, we should go to Jushang Yard. We have received young master's orders to come and fetch you."
An Zheng wiped his hands on his clothes, "Then let's go."
A servant in black took out a blue silk clothes from the palanquin: "This is what young master has prepared for you."
An Zheng lowered his head to look at the dirty clothes that he was wearing after getting dried up, and shook his head: "I'll wear this."
