From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 472 News
After leaving his mansion, Jiang Yao went to the nearest market.

Half an hour later, when he came back again, he was holding a wild horse in each hand.

Compared with livestock such as pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, the price of a horse is definitely much more expensive.

However, the horses at the market are all sold alive, while the other livestock are mostly sold for meat after being slaughtered.

When zombies suck blood, they don't just suck blood, they also suck the life force and spirit of the living being clean.

Jiang Yao wanted to test whether he could recover the blood lost after taking the Blood-Burning Pill by sucking the blood of living creatures. It would definitely require a living creature to truly produce an effect.

There is no newly purchased mansion, servants or maids yet.

It was a huge garden, empty inside. Jiang Yao walked in with the two newly bought horses. He first tied one horse to a big tree, and then he led the other horse into the depths of the garden.

After making sure that he was the only one here and no one was paying attention to him, he bared his fangs and bit the horse's neck.

At first, the horse was neighing and struggling frantically, but in just a few breaths, its plump flesh and blood quickly turned dry.

When Jiang Yao had a look of satisfaction on his face and the two fangs left the horse's neck, the originally living horse had turned into a mummy horse and fell to the ground with a bang.

"My previous guess was indeed correct. The blood consumed by the Blood-Burning Pill can really be replenished by sucking the blood of living creatures!" With his eyes slightly closed, Jiang Yao sensed the current situation in his body.

Compared to the time before he took the Blood-Burning Pill, the blood flowing in his body now not only has been fully replenished, but the total amount seems to have increased by half a percent.

After confirming this again and again, Jiang Yao was overjoyed.

While at the market, he bought another horse because he was worried that just smoking one horse would not be enough to fully recover his body.

It’s a pity that when he was in the Medicine King Pavilion, he only bought one Blood-Burning Pill. Otherwise, with the help of the remaining horse, he could practice with the Blood-Burning Pill again and still recover his body quickly.

"With the help of the Veins Protection Pill, my daily practice can be extended to three hours."

"It only takes me half an hour to digest the medicinal power of one Blood Burning Pill, which will increase my cultivation progress by one percentage point."

"If you calculate it this way, as long as I have enough animals in my house for me to consume, and if I give it my all, this day's practice will be enough to increase my practice progress by five or six percentage points."

"Now, my progress in the blood exchange stage has reached 54 percent."

“If there is no shortage of resources, it will only take about ten days for me to complete the blood exchange stage and enter the innate realm.”

"It's just a pity that I still have no idea about the techniques that can be practiced after the Xiantian period."

"A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without a technique, as soon as I step into the Xiantian realm, my strength will stagnate and there will be no further growth at all!"

……

As the thought went round and round in his mind, Jiang Yao looked helpless and let out a long sigh.

Originally, the joy that came from successfully resolving the hidden dangers of the Blood-Burning Pill was diluted a lot because of the problem with his technique.

Nearly a month has passed since we set foot in Black Rock City.

With the help of the pills bought in the Medicine King Pavilion, although he has been staying at home in his newly purchased mansion to practice meditation, he has also learned a lot about the situation in Black Rock City in his spare time.

When it comes to the top forces in Black Rock City, there are one prefecture and two sects.

The one mansion refers to the City Lord’s Mansion, and the two sects are the Ziyun Sect and the Yaowang Sect.

Mu Qingfeng, the Lord of Black Rock City, is a well-known celestial being.

The Ziyun Sect and the Yaowang Sect have extremely deep roots and have existed for hundreds or thousands of years. It is said that these two sects also have supreme elders of the celestial level.

However, he had no idea about the specific situation of these two major sects.

After all, Jiang Yao is just a newcomer to Black Rock City. His strength is not that high and he is not even at the innate level.

With the level of access he had, he couldn't find out anything that was too secretive.

In addition to these two sects in this prefecture, the next level of forces are the three major families: the Cao family, the Xiao family, and the Li family.

It is true that the Changhen Gang, where Meng Daniu is now, is the overlord of Xicheng District, but when it comes to strength, the Changhen Gang and the Blood Hand Gang that occupies the North City District are both much weaker than the three major families.

After all, the businesses of the three major families are spread across every area of ​​Black Rock City. Even in the West City District, the truly profitable businesses are also under their control.

The two major gangs, the Changhen Gang and the Blood Hand Gang, may have large territories, but the only businesses they can get involved in, apart from collecting protection fees, are side businesses such as brothels and casinos.

Of course, compared to the major gangs that are fighting all day long in the two southeastern urban areas, gangs like the Changhen Gang and the Blood Hand Gang, which occupy a large area on their own, are indeed worthy of the title of major forces in Black Rock City.

However, compared with the one prefecture, two sects and three families, they are much worse and a little down-scale.

If Jiang Yao wants to obtain the inheritance of the gods, starting from one prefecture and two sects is definitely the best choice.

After all, forces like Cao, Xiao, and Li have always been relatively xenophobic. The chance of a warrior from another family joining such a family force and trying to obtain the celestial inheritance that is the foundation of their clan is almost zero.

Among the sixteen states of the Shenwu Dynasty, the Black Rock City in front of us is located in Qingzhou.

The City Lord's Mansion, where the City Lord Mu Qingfeng, a powerful celestial being, resides, represents the official power.

If Jiang Yao wants to join the City Lord's Mansion and obtain the inheritance of heaven and man from the official, he will need to spend a lot of time and make great contributions before that is possible.

As for sects like Ziyun Sect and Yaowang Sect, it might be a little easier for the core disciples who have been trained by them since childhood to obtain the celestial inheritance from the sect.

It is difficult for warriors like Jiang Yao, who are about to enter the innate realm, to be completely trusted by the sect. It is also unknown how much time it will take before they have a chance to come into contact with the inheritance of heaven and man.

After thinking about it for a long time, even Jiang Yao felt confused and had a headache.

Instead of starting from the local forces in Black Rock City, he relied on disasters. Although there was a certain chance of obtaining rewards for his skills, the probability of him encountering disasters was too low now.

Perhaps, only by provoking a powerful celestial being whose strength is far superior to one's own, can a real disaster occur on the panel.

But if he did that, even if he had the magical skill of concealing his identity as a life-saving skill, he still felt that the risk was too high. If he was not careful, he might die.

Not to mention, the rewards obtained after surviving a catastrophe have always been mainly underworld skills, and the chance of appearing in martial arts has always been low.

If the heavenly-level technique that he desperately needs really happens to appear, it would be too much of a coincidence. Jiang Yao would probably wonder if there is an unknown existence behind the system he obtained that is always watching him.

The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning.

"Qifeng Pavilion? That's it!" Jiang Yao left his mansion early in the morning and disguised himself. He then crossed the West City District and finally stopped in an area near the center of Black Rock City.

Looking at the attic in front of him that had no obvious sign but a colorful phoenix carved on the plaque on the door, he strode in without any hesitation.

Qifeng Tower is a secret organization in Heiyan City that specializes in selling intelligence.

Of course, the so-called secret is only for ordinary people. Generally speaking, most warriors who have some connections know about the existence of the Qifeng Tower.

However, the fees here are very expensive, and warriors without a certain amount of wealth simply don't have the confidence to step into this place. For the major forces in Black Rock City, the existence of Qifeng Tower is not a secret.

Such an intelligence organization has been able to stand firm in Black Rock City for so many years. I believe they must have some foundation and strength.

"Welcome to our Qifeng Tower!"

"I don't know, sir, what kind of information do you want to know?"

"It's a relatively common question. I believe the answer you want can be found here on the first floor."

"If it's a more confidential message, you can go directly to the second floor of Qifeng Tower. There, our owner will personally receive you."

……

As soon as he stepped into the Qifeng Tower, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen with red lips and white teeth came towards Jiang Yao.

"Just take me to the second floor!" Jiang Yao gave the order without giving it any thought.

"Okay, sir, please follow me!" The girl nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

Under her guidance, in just a few breaths, the two of them had reached the second floor and stopped.

Apart from the young girl who led Jiang Yao up, there was no other figure on the entire second floor.

A square little house, almost completely enclosed except for a small dark window the size of a bowl, stood alone in the middle of the second floor.

"Sir, our host won't meet people easily."

"See the paper and pen next to the window over there? If you want to know something, just write down your question on the paper and hand it into the window."

"If the host can give an answer to your question, she will quote a price."

"Anyone who knows a little bit about our Qifeng Tower knows that we always do business with integrity and never cheat anyone."

"After the host has quoted the price, if you have no objection, you can naturally get what you want after paying the money!"

……

Pointing to the small cubicle standing not far away, the girl explained with a smile on her face.

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Yao to respond, she bowed to him and retreated.

"Why are you being so mysterious? I'm just buying some information, but it's like confessing to the priest in the church..." Although he looked calm on the surface, Jiang Yao muttered in dissatisfaction in his heart.

He walked a few steps to the window of the small room not far away. He extended his mental power inconspicuously, trying to sense the situation inside the small room in front of him.

"Can it block mental peeping? This small compartment doesn't seem simple. It seems to be some kind of magical weapon?" Frowning and sensing something was wrong, Jiang Yao quickly retracted the extended mental thread.

Mental power is invisible and intangible. Whether it is flowing water or a solid wall, his mental threads can penetrate through it without any hindrance, as if it were nothing.

But at this moment, it was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the way. The mental threads that Jiang Yao extended were simply unable to penetrate the seemingly thin dark walls surrounding the small compartment.

Even the dark little window in front of him, his spiritual thread could not extend into it and peek into the scene inside.

"Compared to the real world, the waters in this foreign world are too deep!"

"It seems a bit impolite to use mental power to spy on others."

"I hope the host didn't notice my little tricks and won't be dissatisfied with me because of them!"

……

Jiang Yao muttered a few words in his heart and retracted his spiritual thread. He became much more honest. He picked up a pen and paper and began to write down the information he wanted to know.

Fortunately, the characters used in the foreign world of the Shenwu Dynasty are the same as those used in Hong Kong, which are traditional Chinese characters.

Jiang Yao, who had spent some time in Hong Kong, did not have any writing difficulties.

In just a few moments, the questions he wanted to know were written on a piece of white paper and handed into the small window.

"One prefecture and two sects, which one's inheritance is easier to obtain?"

"Sir, I will charge you two thousand jade coins for this question!"

After nearly ten minutes of quiet waiting, an old male voice finally sounded from the small compartment and reached Jiang Yao's ears.

"Two thousand jade coins, okay, I can accept it!" After hearing the offer, Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

His current mansion, which covers several acres, only cost him a few hundred jade coins.

Among the warriors below the Xiantian level, there are definitely some who can easily take out two thousand jade coins, but the number is definitely not large.

At this moment, it is just a piece of news, but the price is so expensive. No wonder, even if ordinary warriors know the existence of the Qifeng Tower, few people dare to actually set foot here.

Jiang Yaoqing counted the two thousand jade coins for a long time. After making sure that the number was correct, he stuffed the jade coins into the dark little window in front of him, handful by handful.

“The Black Rock City Lord’s Mansion has never had a celestial inheritance.”

"City Lord Mu Qingfeng was rewarded by the royal family with the opportunity to inherit the Yufeng Treasure Scripture because of his great contributions, which enabled him to eventually achieve celestial status."

"Joining the City Lord's Mansion, unless you can use it as a springboard to enter the Imperial City of Kyoto, will only give you a slight chance to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Man Technique from the royal family."

The old male voice coming from the small compartment in front of him suddenly changed into a weathered female voice.

At this point, the female voice paused for a moment, and continued, "The Purple Cloud Sect's inherited skills, the Wind and Cloud Treasure Scripture, and the Medicine King Sect's Controlling Fire Scripture, can only be obtained by true disciples."

"Young men under the age of sixteen with a clean background who pass the test can enter these two major sects and become disciples."

"Outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, promoted step by step, and finally become true disciples."

"At your age, you have already reached a certain level of martial arts training. Even if you can successfully join these two major sects, you can only be a deacon, and you will never be able to become a true disciple and enter the core class of the sect."

"So, it is basically impossible for you to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Man Technique from these two sects."

……

Listening to the facts told by the weathered female voice in the room in front of him, Jiang Yao frowned and felt a chill in his heart.

Originally, he had considered the City Lord's Mansion as the target force he wanted to join.

At this moment, if he hadn't heard what the owner of Qifeng Tower said, he really wouldn't have known that Mu Qingfeng, the lord of Black Rock City, actually had no celestial inheritance at all. It was because the royal family gave him the opportunity that he was able to obtain the inheritance and step into the realm of celestial beings.
