Start with a red name

Chapter 95 Procurement and Talent

"Woo~~~"

The meaning expressed by Dahuang this time was a little complicated, but with the closer Qi connection established between the two sides through the "running dog technique", Geng Xuan quickly understood its intention.

However, after two days of rest and sufficient supply of medicinal wine, Dahuang has fully recovered.

Now, it actively hopes that Geng Xuan can make this wonderful energy connection between the two parties closer.

For Geng Xuan, this means improving his "lackey skills", which is very easy.

At the same time, Dahuang was still greedy for the taste of red luck entering his body, and now he took the initiative to ask him for it.

This is actually what Geng Xuan wants to do.

Firstly, although three points of red luck had been consumed before, Dahuang had not fully recovered, and there was still some abnormality in his left hind leg when he ran.

Secondly, Geng Xuan also wanted to verify whether Hongyun could do more for Dahuang besides recovering from his injuries.

So Geng Xuan smiled at Da Huang and said, "Okay, just lie down obediently."

However, Dahuang did not lie down immediately. Instead, he ran to the side and picked up the bowl that Geng Xuan had given him to hold wine. He then bumped his head against a wine jar nearby, looking at Geng Xuan and whimpering.

"Woo woo~~" (Translation: pour the wine)

Seeing this scene, Geng Xuan laughed out loud with joy.

He stood up, picked up the wine jar, and poured a full bowl of wine. Dahuang was already lying obediently beside him.

The head is right next to the wine bowl and you can lick it into the bowl with just your tongue.

After lying down, it tried it with its tongue. When the experiment was successful, it looked at Geng Xuan and opened its mouth and laughed.

When Geng Xuan put down the wine jar and was about to put his hand on its head, it turned its head and licked some parts of its belly, while looking at Geng Xuan with its eyes.

That was exactly where Geng Xuan had sutured the wound with silk thread.

Now, in just two days, these wounds have basically healed. If you don’t look carefully, it is difficult to find the existence of the wounds, and there are no signs of inflammation.

After Da Huang reminded him, Geng Xuan finally remembered: "Oh, I'll remove the stitches for you... just bear with it, it might hurt a little."

Geng Xuan quickly pulled out all the suture threads. Except for the occasional slight shake, Da Huang lay quietly without making any sound.

After Geng Xuan pulled out all the silk threads, Da Huang finally lay down with relief.

"promote."

Geng Xuan placed his palm on the top of Da Huang's head, and the twenty-four points of good luck quickly dissipated, transforming into various insights that emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

As his "Dog Running Technique" advanced from great success to mastery, Geng Xuan also clearly felt that his connection with Dahuang's life energy was becoming closer.

With this connection, he can understand Dahuang's intentions more clearly.

The same is true in reverse, Dahuang can understand his thoughts more accurately.

The functions are more than that.

As Dahuang adapted to this change, Geng Xuan transformed the red energy into a warm current through the Qi connection and passed it into Dahuang's body. Geng Xuan clearly felt that Dahuang's ability to withstand and adapt to this power had significantly improved.

With two consecutive good lucks, Dahuang's injuries were basically recovered.

But neither Geng Xuan nor Da Huang stopped.

Two more points of red luck transformed into a warm current that flowed into Dahuang's body and spread to its limbs and bones. Dahuang hummed comfortably.

While enjoying this unique and wonderful massage, it kept sticking out its tongue to quickly lick the medicinal wine in the bowl.

Seeing that the bowl of medicinal wine was about to be empty, Geng Xuan used his other hand to pour it another full bowl, thinking: "It seems that I have to prepare a bigger basin for you."

Two more good times passed, and the warm current no longer spread into the limbs and bones, but concentrated into the bulging belly of Dahuang, into the bodies of the new lives.

"Woo woo~~" (Translation: Enough is enough.)
Geng Xuan finally stopped sending Hongyun and gently pressed his hand on Dahuang's belly.

Through the connection with its vital energy, Geng Xuan could clearly feel that the warm current transformed by the red luck and the medicinal power of the medicinal wine were nourishing these new lives in the making.

Their life flames, which had been dim and precarious due to the severe damage caused by rhubarb, became stable again and were even burning brighter and brighter.

Geng Xuan filled Dahuang's cup with medicinal wine again and let it digest slowly. Then he also drank enough medicinal wine to satisfy the intense consumption brought about by the rapid improvement of the skin refining level.

Then slowly sort out your own situation.

The improvement of the lackey skill, plus the six points directly consumed on Dahuang, makes thirty points of good luck.

【Lucky Luck: 369】

"It has only been a short time since I reached the Grandmaster level in Iron Skin Kung Fu. My skin refining has now reached about 75%, so there is still room for improvement. I will consider other things after my skin refining has reached 80%."

Anyway, to advance to the marrow refining realm, achieving 80% in skin refining is the iron threshold.

"However, there is no need to wait until the skin is 80% refined. It is still okay to do it a little earlier."

Apart from all the body-tempering techniques, Geng Xuan paid special attention to all the skills that had room for improvement.

【Earthwalking (Master)+
Dog Running Skills (Master)+
Disguise (Master)+
Blow Dart (Master)+
Song Tao Swordsmanship (Master)+
Phantom Hand (Master) +】

Geng Xuan thought about it, and considering his own ability to bear it and the consumption of good luck, he finally chose to consume ninety-six points of good luck, and successively upgraded his Blowing Arrow, Songtao Sword Technique, and Phantom Hand from the Master Level to the Grandmaster Level.

Since then, three more skills have reached their peak, with no room for improvement or advancement.

【Lucky: 273
Tidal Breathing (Great Mastery) +, Mysterious Water Skill of the Fairy (Great Mastery) +, Bone Shrinking Technique (Great Mastery) +
Earthwalk (Master)+, Running Dog (Master)+, Disguise (Master)+】

In addition, there are many skills and techniques that have reached the pinnacle of what they were intended to achieve.

【Iron Skin Kung Fu (Grandmaster)
Iron Sand Palm (Master), Raccoon Jump (Grandmaster), Linked Steps (Grandmaster), Featherless Arrows (Grandmaster), Dissection Technique (Grandmaster), Linked Tracking Arrows (Grandmaster), Blowing Arrows (Grandmaster), Pine Wave Swordsmanship (Grandmaster), Phantom Air Hands (Grandmaster)]

……

The next morning, Geng Xuan left Changpingfang.

Half a day later, Geng Xuan returned home pushing a wooden cart.

He pushed the wooden cart to the backyard, moved the supplies piled on the cart into the house, and moved all of them into the underground space.

Although there were a lot of things, it didn't cost much to purchase this large truckload of supplies.

The biggest expense was the 100 catties of coarse salt, which cost 200 coins per catty, so the total cost was only 20 taels of silver.

"But if we refer to other basic living supplies, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is equivalent to 500 yuan in the previous life. So, a pound of salt costs 100 yuan, which is simply a sky-high price!"

The second largest item was the charcoal, which weighed a full five hundred kilograms, but only cost Geng Xuan four taels of silver.

It may be more expensive in other places, but Kangleji is adjacent to Chiwu Mountain, and many neighborhoods rely on the mountain for their livelihood, so the price of charcoal is also very cheap.

In addition, Geng Xuan spent some money to buy some simple and cheap seasonings, a lot of long-lasting corn flour and other items, and two large iron pots.

The truck was filled with all these things that Geng Xuan prepared for the "Giant Bear Gang".

In addition, Geng Xuan also bought several sets of clothes for himself. In order to match different age groups and different identities, the prices and styles varied greatly.

The most expensive set cost 4 liang, while the cheapest set only cost 150 wen. Some of the colors are bright and vivid, while most are relatively plain and dull.

This is a necessary preparation for Geng Xuan to better "play" different roles.

In addition, Geng Xuan bought six packs of fine needles.

Each package contained 100 needles and cost 500 wen, which was equivalent to 5 wen per needle. It was half the price of the long needles bought from the peddler. In total, the six packages cost only 3 taels of silver.

——Because of rat extermination, the long needles obtained from the peddler have been used up.

In addition, he spent another two taels of silver to buy this cart which was made of solid materials and had exquisite workmanship.

This full cart of supplies only cost a total of forty-eight taels of silver, less than fifty taels.

And half of it was used on the 100 kilograms of coarse salt.

Geng Xuan had two feelings about this large-scale purchase.

The purchasing power of money is really strong.

Salt is such a huge profit-maker, it's simply blatant robbery.

……

After transferring all the supplies into the underground space, Geng Xuan spent some time doing another thing, which was to completely seal the passage under the bed that led directly to the basement.

The incident with Li Xun was a lesson for him. He should not leave such an obvious loophole.

Anyway, for him now, digging it through again is a very simple matter and it is not troublesome at all.

This time, Dahuang did not come to greet him, but lay there quietly to take care of her pregnancy.

After seeing Geng Xuan, he just hummed a few times as a greeting.

Geng Xuan placed several large and small, delicate-looking wooden basins in front of Da Huang and said with a smile:

"This is for you and your baby."

Dahuang seemed to like this gift very much and was not at all averse to the fresh wood fragrance emanating from the wooden basins. He chose the largest one, licked it with his tongue, and then looked at Geng Xuan eagerly.

Geng Xuan smiled and poured about two kilograms of medicinal wine into it, and then, at Dahuang's "woohoo" request, he sent three points of red luck into its body, transforming it into power to nourish the fetus, allowing the little life in its belly to build a stronger innate foundation.

Originally, Dahuang was at a stage where she could give birth at any time.

But because of the intervention of good luck, the signs of imminent birth gradually disappeared.

Perhaps, this is the instinct of life.

After the intervention of Hongyun, both Dahuang and the little life in its belly obviously wanted to extend the gestation period of building the innate foundation of life a little longer.

Geng Xuan was willing to invest some money into this. He was also very curious about how the puppies born by Dahuang would be different from those of other puppies after such a transformation.

After doing all this, Geng Xuan said a few words to Da Huang and continued with his work.

After half an hour.

All the large amounts of supplies that Geng Xuan purchased from Kangle Village were transferred by him to the vicinity of the hiding place of Luo Qing, Wang Xun and others.

Geng Xuan clapped his hands, then went alone and quietly to the hiding place of Luo Qing and others.

Before anyone realized he had arrived, Geng Xuan had already seen the situation clearly, and his heartbeat immediately stopped.

"I'm coming."

The situation on the field was obviously abnormal.

In the middle of the field, four half-dead men were lying there.

The reason why they were not identified as dead was because Geng Xuan saw red names above their heads.

And around them, figures were sitting in groups of three or four, forming a circle around these four people.

No one speaks.

Some lowered their heads in thought, while others held their heads high with dull eyes.

Some people were murmured, as if complaining about something.

Some people were discussing with people around them, "blatantly" discussing "Let's just leave this damn place."

In short, the atmosphere was depressing and dull, and people's hearts were like a pile of loose sand.

When Geng Xuan counted the number of people sitting cross-legged, he became more certain of his guess.

After counting, there were thirty-four people.

If we add the four people on the ground, that makes thirty-eight people.

But Geng Xuan remembered very clearly that there should be only thirty-seven people here in total.

One extra one.

“Where did it come from?”

With such doubts in his mind, Geng Xuan no longer concealed his actions and strode towards the center of the field.

The clear sound of footsteps woke up everyone present.

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Who?" Many people asked at the same time.

"Don't worry, it's me." Geng Xuan kindly comforted.

"Ah, it's Su...the gang leader is here!" Luo Qing said immediately.

"The gang leader is here!" The man who had been bitten by Geng Xuan's bear tooth also shouted.

"Gang leader."

"It's the gang leader."

"..."

Everyone stood up, regardless of whether they were from the "Giant Bear Gang" or not, and respectfully welcomed his arrival.

Geng Xuan walked straight to the center of the venue and stood next to the four people who were lying side by side on the ground motionless.

Geng Xuan looked at the man who had spoken almost at the same time as Luo Qing and asked, "What happened here after I left?"

This person was about to speak, but Geng Xuan seemed to remember something and turned to Wang Xi, Xu Lin, Liang Jun and others and said:

"I brought a lot of stuff with me this time. You can take some people to move it here... Go forward along the tunnel I came out of. Turn left when you come to a fork in the road and walk a few steps and you will arrive."

Wang Xi, Xu Lin and Liang Jun invited about ten people they knew to go.

Geng Xuan then looked at the man again and said, "You go ahead."

"Boss, it's like this..."

As this person spoke, Geng Xuan was filled with emotion.

Bad luck really works quickly and comes true accurately.

It's actually very simple.

About half a day after Geng Xuan left, everyone had a good meal with the rabbit meat he brought.

When everyone had almost finished repairing, someone suggested that since everyone had received help from "Su Ruiliang", they could hold on for a while.

But this is obviously not a long-term solution.

We still have to continue exploring the way.

After discussing it, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway. If I continue to stay here doing nothing, I'll become a useless idiot sooner or later.

Moreover, everyone hid underground just to avoid the limelight, but no one thought of staying here for the rest of their lives.

It would obviously be beneficial to everyone if we could gain a clearer understanding of the distribution of surrounding tunnels.

So, everyone set off again.

Then, it happened.

It is not known whether it is because they have received instruction from Geng Xuan Xiong Ya and thus have the confidence to command others with more legitimacy, or whether it is the prestige they have built up among the people in the past that is playing a role.

Anyway, the thirty-seven people were divided into four teams with the four of them as leaders.

Each exploration is carried out by a team of people.

While one of the teams was exploring, they were suddenly attacked, and two people screamed and were seriously injured.

The remaining people immediately launched an attack, and finally after paying the price of another person being seriously injured, the leader finally achieved a decisive result.

Instead of executing the attacker, they brought him here for questioning.

The result of the interrogation was simple and clear. This person was the one who had escaped the pursuit of the black robe guards during the "street clearing" operation in Kangleji and finally successfully escaped into the underground tunnel.

Originally, he was not active in this area.

But a few days ago, he was ambushed by another stronger person. He escaped with his life by chance, but he completely lost his way.

He had been out of food for two days before he launched his surprise attack on them.

If he doesn't find a solution, he will starve to death here in the ground.

Therefore, when we met this team of pathfinders, we launched an attack even though we knew we were outnumbered.

His original idea was to kill two people and run away, then sneak back to "pick up the bodies" after the others left.

However, because he overestimated his own condition, his body was too weak after two days of being without food, so he was unable to escape.

The two people he attacked were only seriously injured but not killed.

After learning about this, others were terrified.

Finally, they realized that the rumors about how dangerous the underground was were not groundless. Everyone retreated back to this space and dared not explore outside anymore.

Some people even complained that the place that "Su Ruiliang" found for them was too "remote".

What made everyone even more frightened was that the three companions who were seriously injured in the battle were properly treated by people who were good at dealing with external injuries after they returned.

But the situation did not improve at all, but became increasingly serious. It looked even worse than the prisoners who had been severely tortured and beaten. He looked like he would die at any moment.

After further questioning of the captives, everyone found out the reason.

This bastard who lacks moral integrity may have become mentally twisted and abnormal since he went into hiding underground.

He would urinate directly on his weapons, and after defecating, he would smear his weapons repeatedly.

The three companions, whose condition rapidly deteriorated, became victims of his perverted behavior.

This is the situation.

That's what happened.

After listening to the story, Geng Xuan looked at another member of the "Giant Bear Gang" who was a little further away, and was the leader of the exploration team at that time.

He himself probably thought that in this dim environment, no one would notice his subtle changes in expression.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to managing his facial expressions.

Geng Xuan also discovered that when he talked about how he seized a key opportunity and finally captured the attacker at the cost of three people being seriously injured, his expression became a little abnormal.

After a brief analysis by Geng Xuan, and with the endorsement of those two points of "bad luck", he roughly knew the hidden story behind it.

It is hard to say whether he did it on purpose when the two people who were severely injured initially suffered heavy losses, but when the third person was severely injured, he immediately seized the opportunity and completed a decisive counterattack against the attacker. There must be something fishy here.

It is very likely that the third person was seriously injured because he was the bait that he deliberately fed out.

"They are all talented!" Geng Xuan sighed in his heart.
