From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 334 The Caravan Returns
Compared with the Hengshi Village when Niu Meng was in power, the strength of the Xuedao Village is slightly stronger, but not much stronger.

This time, Du Qian brought Xu Ming and Sun Fang to attack Hengshi Village. There were only two warriors left in their village, one who was strengthening bones and the other one who was strengthening skin.

After learning about the current situation of the Blood Knife Village from Xu Ming, Jiang Yao didn't think much about it and directly took Zhao Jin, Huang Tai and others to attack the Blood Knife Village.

Several hours later, in the Gathering Hall of the Blood Knife Village.

Jiang Yao was sitting at the head of the hall, pointing at several wooden boxes placed in the hall. He glanced at the people in the hall with dissatisfaction: "Xu Ming, Fang Dong, you have such a small fortune in such a big Blood Blade Village, not even a bottle of Demon Blood Pill?"

The Fang Dong he mentioned was the Leather Training Realm warrior who stayed behind in the Blood Knife Village.

Of the two village chiefs left behind by Du Qian in the village, Qian Xiong, who had the strength of the Bone Tempering Realm, was Du Qian's absolute confidant.

Under the leadership of Xu Ming, when Jiang Yao led his men into the Blood Knife Village, Qian Xiong, knowing that he was no match for them, still put up a desperate resistance. Jiang Yao had no choice but to help him and send him down to accompany Du Qian.

Fang Dong and the ordinary bandits in the village were quite sensible.

After Qian Xiong's death, Jiang Yao didn't need to spend any energy at all, they surrendered directly. They did their best and cooperated perfectly with Jiang Yao's orders.

They searched the entire Blood Knife Village carefully several times and only dug three feet away. Unfortunately, Jiang Yao and others did not find much valuables.

The wooden boxes in front of him mostly contained copper coins and various medicinal materials. As for jade coins, there were only about a hundred of them.

The total population of the Blood Knife Camp was nearly a hundred people, but the gains they obtained were far less than those of the Hengshi Camp.

Faced with such a result, Jiang Yao would definitely not look good.

"Sir, a few months ago, in order to break through and enter the Refining Organ Realm, Du Qian spent almost all of the wealth accumulated in the village over the years."

"The treasures in the wooden box in front of us are just the gains we got in the village in the past few months."

"With the location of our Blood Knife Village, unless we are lucky enough to meet a big fat sheep, otherwise, after working hard for a month, we can only earn thirty or fifty jade coins, which is the limit of what we can do."

……

Jiang Yao's complaints were heard by Xu Ming and Fang Dong. They looked terrified and quickly explained.

Judging from their words and actions, they didn't seem to be hiding anything on this matter.

Although he felt a little unhappy, Jiang Yao was not the kind of person who liked to kill innocent people.

After a brief hesitation, he continued, "Besides your Blood Blade Village and our Hengshi Village, what other villages in this area are there that are of average strength and easier to attack?"

When he broke through and entered the Organ Refining Realm, not only the Demon Blood Pills, but also the spiritual medicines on his body were almost completely consumed.

For him, if he wants to continue to improve his strength, cultivation resources like the Demon Blood Pill are indispensable.

Tianwangfang Market only opens once on the 15th of every month.

Now, it was only the 20th of this month, and it was still early for the Tianwang Market to open. Together with the gains from this time in the Blood Knife Village, he had two or three hundred jade coins, but it would be difficult to exchange them for cultivation resources in a short period of time.

Under the current circumstances, he could only target those village strongholds to see if he could get some useful resources from them.

"Sir, the Black Wolf Village is about thirty or forty miles away from here."

"That mountain stronghold is very powerful and has close ties with the Tianwang Stronghold. It will be difficult for us to take action against them."

"Also, although you are extremely powerful, if you don't want to attract the attention of the Heavenly King Village, it's best not to attack the Black Wolf Village."

……

Sighing, Xu Ming bowed respectfully towards Jiang Yao, and then he spoke tentatively to comfort him.

"Is that so? Okay, I get it!" Jiang Yao nodded with a frown.

Although he tends to do things his own way, he will still listen to suggestions that are really useful to him.

With his current strength and the few killing moves he has mastered, he can at most dominate the Organ Refining Realm.

Faced with a powerful force like Tianwangzhai, which was staffed by innate strongmen, he knew without even thinking that he was definitely no match.

"Retreat first and pay more attention to the situation on our territory."

"For those forces or people passing through our territory, we will pay them a toll as usual if we have an agreement with them, but we will just attack those we don't know."

"Especially the Xu family caravan. If you have any news about them passing by, report to me immediately."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Jiang Yao waved to Xu Ming, Zhao Jin and others in the gathering hall and gave instructions.

Compared to the mess inside Hengshi Village, the situation in Xuedao Village was much better. Led by Xu Ming, the group met some resistance at the entrance of the village when they attacked Xuedao Village. After Qian Xiong died in Jiang Yao's hands, everyone in Xuedao Village had basically given up resistance.

Under such circumstances, the Blood Knife Village taken over by Jiang Yao was basically intact.

Without much thought, he decided to occupy this place directly.

As for the original Hengshi Village, they naturally had to give up temporarily. After all, there were not many valuable things in the village. The few remaining people followed Jiang Yao all the way to the Xuedao Village.

There were only four or five people gathered in the Juyi Hall, and only Meng Daniu was not a warrior.

After clasping their fists and bowing to Jiang Yao, everyone left one after another. Soon, he was the only one left in the huge gathering hall.

"After entering the Refining Zang Realm, my life span increased by three years."

"I still have twelve years to live. If I just go back to the real world and make a round trip, it should be enough."

"It's just a pity that if you just go back and forth without any extra time to stay there, it would be meaningless."

"Since I started practicing martial arts, I have been training my skin and strengthening my bones, but it didn't extend my lifespan. But now, entering the stage of refining organs has extended my lifespan by three years. What about the stage of blood exchange? Can it also extend my lifespan?"

"If the facts are really as I guessed, perhaps, there is no need for me to step into the Xiantian realm at all. I can leave here and return to the real world."

……

Sitting on the tiger-skin chair at the head of the Juyi Hall, Jiang Yao propped his face up with his arm as he thought silently in his heart.

Compared with the bright lights and prosperity of the real world, here, apart from the satisfactory growth rate of one's own strength, nothing else is useful and life is extremely hard.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao was filled with melancholy. He let out a long sigh, stood up, and walked out of the gathering hall.

On the mountain road, several ox carts and a team of more than ten or twenty people were moving slowly.

Although there are many mountains and numerous bandit strongholds of all sizes in this area, given the location of Xujia Town, there are only a few strongholds that their caravan needs to pass through to reach Black Rock City.

"Xiaochuan, after crossing this mountain range, we will enter the territory of the Blood Knife Village, right?" Sitting on an ox cart, Xu Changshou stretched lazily. His eyes fell on Xu Lichuan in front of the ox cart and asked with a smile.

Originally, he had been dressing as an ordinary person, blending in with the ordinary people doing odd jobs in the caravan. But now, he had been waiting for Jiang Yao to show up, and he was too lazy to hide anymore, so he stood directly at the front desk.

"That's right, Great Elder!" With a smile on his face, Xu Lichuan nodded.

After a brief pause, he continued, "It is said that Du Qian, the chief of the Blood Knife Village, had already entered the realm of refining internal organs several months ago."

"However, our caravan has passed through this place several times, but we have never seen him show up. We don't know whether the rumor is true or not."

“I hope this person abides by the rules and won’t be like Niu Meng, who starts asking for an exorbitant price once he has a little strength.”

He had been smiling, but when he talked about this, he looked helpless and sighed a few times.

Every time their caravan traveled to and from Black Rock City, they had to spend hundreds of jade coins just on tolls. When Xu Lichuan thought of this, he felt extremely painful.

But there is nothing we can do if they don’t give us the money.

After all, they were in great shortage of many supplies in Xujia Town, and they could only buy many things by going to Black Rock City.

This is especially true for the various resources used by warriors for training.

Although the various spiritual medicines collected from the mountains have a certain auxiliary effect on cultivation, their effects are very general. They are much worse than the various pills used for cultivation that can be purchased in Black Rock City.

In Xujia Town, the elixirs collected by herbalists, the monsters hunted by hunters, etc. are all monopolized by the Xu family. However, the Xu family seldom uses these things directly. Most of them are sold to Black Rock City and then exchanged for other resources.

To be honest, compared with small mountain villages like Xuedao Village and Hengshi Village, the Xu family's overall strength is much stronger.

Every time they traveled between Black Rock City and Xujia Town, although they would pay the tolls honestly, the Xu family just wanted to have less trouble and were not really afraid of these bandits.

"Mr. Li, the caravan has returned from Black Rock City. Where is Jiang Yao, the one you mentioned?" After talking with Xu Lichuan for a few words, Xu Changshou turned his gaze to Mr. Li next to him.

He had been smiling pleasantly at first, but he snorted coldly, and in an instant, his expression darkened.

He had been quietly secluded in the Xu family mansion. If it weren't for this guy Li Gongsheng, he would never have appeared here with the caravan.

If things went well and Jiang Yao, the scourge, could be killed successfully, that would be fine, but now, not even a hair of him has been seen.

Xu Changshou felt that he had made a wasted trip, so how could he show any good face to Li Gongfeng?
