What a lucky world!

Chapter 34 The time-traveling guy welcomes the price increase!

Time goes back to half a quarter of an hour ago.

After an afternoon of research, Zhang Mu has initially mastered the Three Talents Sword Technique.

Then, he couldn't wait to enter the Tianji List space and chose to deduce the sword technique.

The five remaining Tortoise Shell Points from the Star Shattering Step were quickly consumed, and then...

There's no after that.

No new sword techniques were learned.

"It was too careless." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Mu rubbed his eyebrows.

What he regretted now was not that he used the points to deduce the Three Talents Sword Technique, but that he was too hasty.

Looking back, he had actually practiced both the Qingsong Fist Sutra and the Broken Star Step seriously before he practiced them.

Now think about it, the so-called deduction is actually based on a certain foundation. The more solid the foundation, the easier the deduction will be.

He only had a rough grasp of the Three Talents Sword Technique and started to deduce it hastily, so it's no wonder that the results were not ideal.

"No wonder the Tianji points are not refreshed until the end of the month. In fact, it gives a month of practice time." Zhang Mu completed the logical loop of his thoughts.

But no matter how upset he was, all the turtle shell points had been used up.

It’s like waking up the next day and seeing your face without makeup. No matter how upset you are, the thing has already been done.

Let's face it.

Zhang Mu picked up the fine steel sword provided by the escort agency and started practicing the Three Talents Sword Technique again, but while practicing, Zhang Mu discovered something strange.

Although he was still using the Three Talents Sword Technique, the insights that kept emerging in his mind made him make adjustments to many aspects of this sword technique.

It is still the original sword technique, but after the internal energy is activated, the power has reached a new level.

"Hmm? It seems that the deduction did play some role." Zhang Mu suddenly became alert.

If you look closely at the face without makeup, you will find that it is quite pretty.

Many times it’s not that we have matured, but that we have accepted it.

After practicing several more times, Zhang Mu could confirm that the power of his swordsmanship had indeed increased.

Zhang Mu did not hesitate at the moment and immediately re-entered the Tianjibang space and chose to fight.

……

The secret list, the illusory training ground.

Zhang Mu's spiritual projection appeared, and with a thought, a long steel sword appeared in his hand.

The next moment, the figure of Sun Xiaozhuang, the third on the Tianji list and a first-grade Tongmai realm cultivator, appeared before his eyes.

Sun Xiaozhuang looked thin and dark-skinned, like a skinny monkey. He was holding a machete in his hand, and as soon as he gathered his strength, he chopped towards Zhang Mu.

Sun Xiaozhuang's sword technique is called the Mountain-Splitting Sword Technique. It sounds domineering, but it is actually the most popular sword technique in the market. It is taught in any martial arts school and is a common skill.

Sun Xiaozhuang chopped down with his sword, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind.

To be honest, Sun Xiaozhuang's swordsmanship was not superb, but it carried a hint of life-threatening ferocity, which was why Zhang Mu failed last time.

But now, Zhang Mu held his sword and responded calmly. The Three Talents Sword Technique was now also called the Human Yuan Sword Technique. Although the martial arts grade was not high, the sword technique was magnificent and upright, using defense as offense. He was not at all inferior to Sun Xiaozhuang in a head-on confrontation.

There were several "clang" and "clang" sounds of swords clashing. Zhang Mu dodged Sun Xiaozhuang's attack by moving sideways and quickly seized the opportunity.

The Renyuan sword technique is indeed defensive first.

but!

You must know that when people have murderous intentions, the world will turn upside down!

Seizing the opportunity for counterattack, Zhang Mu quickly turned from defense to offense. For a moment, the Renyuan sword technique exuded a majestic sword force, directly suppressing Sun Xiaozhuang. Sun Xiaozhuang tried to withdraw and regroup, but was suppressed by Zhang Mu. Within three rounds, the fine steel sword swept away Sun Xiaozhuang's machete and pierced his throat with one sword.

The next moment, Sun Xiaozhuang's body turned into light and dissipated.

Until this moment, Zhang Mu retracted his sword, his mind full of the violent attack from the counterattack just now, and he felt unsatisfied.

"Come again!" Zhang Mu left the training ground and prepared to continue challenging the second place on the Tianji List, but then Zhang Mu was stunned.

Can't challenge anymore!
Zhang Mu subconsciously glanced at the bottom of the Tianji Ranking and immediately knew the reason.

The creek dried up.

its not right!
Zhang Mu remembered that when he entered the realm of cultivation, he had just recharged ten taels of silver. That was given to him by Madam Zhuang when he broke through the last acupoint.

Including the previous challenge where he failed, he has only fought two games so far.

Then, a bad guess emerged in Zhang Mu's mind.

price goes up!
The price for a non-quality match is two taels of silver for a fight with Bai Qi.

Now that I have reached the highest level, I will fight you for five taels of silver.

and many more!

Could it be that a fight at the first level of Tongmai Realm costs five taels of silver, and the price will go up later?
Yes, the energy used to condense the phantom of an entry-level warrior is not at the same level as the energy used to condense the phantom of an ordinary person who has not entered the level.

but!

If there is a problem, just overcome it! How can you raise the price?

This damn secret list should be hung on the lamppost on the roadside!
Zhang Mu angrily exited the Tianji Ranking space.

The white gas costs five taels of silver for one hit. Where can I get the silver?
Zhang Mu supported his head and thought.

Wang Bo’s insurance fraud case helped the escort agency recover three thousand taels of silver. Or should he go to Madam Zhuang to ask for a reward?
But Zhang Mu finally shook his head.

He was receiving a salary from the escort agency, which was part of his job. Besides, Escort Captain Song had already given him a reward, and he had accepted it at the time.

Just like in later generations, when a sales champion of a company negotiates a business, the company will naturally give him a reward. If he feels that the reward is not enough after receiving it and asks the company for more, it would seem a bit greedy.

Just when Zhang Mu was thinking about how to make money, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears -

"Meow-"

Zhang Mu suddenly turned around and saw a pure black cat squatting on his windowsill, staring at him with a pair of golden eyes.

"Xuan Ji!" Zhang Mu was stunned. "Why are you here?"

"Hmph, I'll come if I want to." Xuan Ji jumped off the windowsill, walked to the bed with a cat-like step, jumped onto the bed, sat down, and said, "You're in trouble again, meow..."

Zhang Mu blinked. "Ah? What trouble?"

Xuan Ji yawned: "That fox demon..."

Zhang Mu frowned when he heard this and said, "Madam Zhuang said that after the demon-hunting team left the city, the fox demon dared not show up for the time being. I should be safe."

"Heh, woman..." Xuan Ji snorted with some disdain and looked at Zhang Mu, "Do you believe that woman, or me?"

Zhang Mu felt that this was a bit strange, but he still said to Xuan Ji, "Of course I believe you."

Xuan Ji's face flashed with a trace of triumph, as if she had won a battle. She said, "That fox demon really doesn't dare to show up, meow..."

"But she found help..."

"Helper? Who?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Before those foreign demon tribes showed up, there was a meow outside the city led by a tiger demon."

"I heard that the fox demon found the tiger demon and mated with it for most of the night. The tiger demon agreed to use its demon servants in the city to deal with you."

Zhang Mu: (▼ヘ▼#)
Damn it, fox demon, I just killed Liu Zuo, what grudge do I have against you? Why are you doing this?

"Is this fox demon crazy?" Zhang Mu asked puzzledly, "Is it necessary to go this far?"

Hearing this, Xuan Ji looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Zhang Mu, do you really not know the relationship between Liu Zuo and that fox demon?"

"What kind of relationship could it be? Master and servant..."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xuan Ji shook her head, "Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you..."
