Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 466 Cargo
"Master."

Early in the morning.

Qian Shiyao rushed over to visit.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Ju, dressed in a single garment and barefoot on a wooden board, simply used a wooden hairpin to hold back his waist-length hair.
"So rushed?"

"The Sanhe Gang has sent word that the stolen fabric has been found and we can come and retrieve it," Qian Shiyao said, bowing.

Her gaze swept over Zhu Ju's long hair, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

The longer the hair, the more prone it is to becoming dry, brittle, and difficult to manage—something every woman knows all too well.

Exactly.

Zhu Ju's hair was not only long, but also very smooth, as black as a waterfall, requiring almost no styling, which was truly enviable.

In Qian Shiyao's memory, the eldest son of the Zhu family was thin and uneducated.

Aside from his decent looks, he is utterly useless.

But after the Qian family was robbed, he and his younger brother Qian Hu lived under someone else's roof and only then did they realize something was wrong.

Zhu Ju was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament; he was simply a refined and elegant gentleman.

Well……

It's just a little cold.

He remained indifferent to everyone, unlike a young man, and more like a Taoist priest who had transcended worldly affairs.

"Good thing."

Turning around, Zhu Ju slowly spoke:
"Have Steward Liu go and collect it, and take some gifts with him."

He had already killed the three-headed monster that had robbed the merchant ship, so it was only natural that he would retrieve the lost cloth.

He had already seen the cloth in the demon's lair, but since he had no way to store it, he could only leave it where he was.

Now that the demon has been eliminated, and with the help of demon hunters from the Demon Slayer Hall, the goods should be recovered.

"Yes."

Qian Shiyao was already used to Zhu Ju's astonishing ability to maintain his composure, and immediately brought up the second matter:

"Wang Rui, Young Master Wang requests an audience."

…………

"You're welcome to come, no need to bring any gifts."

Zhu Ju shook his head, had someone take the things Wang Rui brought, and invited them to sit down:
"You've lost weight again recently, which is a good thing."

"I've been practicing martial arts a lot lately, and I'm already at the ninth rank. With some effort, I still have a chance to reach the seventh rank in this lifetime," Wang Rui said with a smile, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Thanks to you, my life in the Wang family is much easier now."

He married a prostitute.

This resulted in Wang Rui being kicked out of the Wang family and even stripped of his right to inherit the family property.

They only got a storefront facing the street.

Even the expenses for his wedding were borrowed from Zhu Ju and He Yongzhang.

Fortunately, the young couple had a sweet life. Wang Rui practiced martial arts and sought medical treatment, and Li Ping became pregnant not long after.

Since the Sanhe Gang took over from the Qingyi Gang, Zhu Ju's status has risen, and Wang Rui has regained his father's favor.

Life is getting better and better these days.

"No one comes to the temple for no good reason."

Wang Rui put down his teacup and sighed softly:
"I have come here today because I have a favor to ask of you."

He is no longer the naive boy he once was; he has matured considerably, but he still retains the innocence of a youth.

Therefore, even though he knew that it would be beneficial for him to have more contact with Zhu Ju, he was still unwilling and did not want his friendship to be mixed with too much self-interest.

But sometimes, there's just no other way.

"tell me the story."

Zhu Ju smiled faintly:

"The Wang family's affairs?"

If it were a private matter, there would be no need to be so formal, and to bring such an expensive gift.

"Yes." Wang Rui nodded and sighed.

“A few days ago, a batch of our medicinal herbs was stolen by demons. Yesterday, people from the Sanhe Gang came to our door and said they had found the goods.”

"Yeah." Zhu Ju nodded:
"Yesterday, a demon outside the city was killed by the demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Hall, and a lot of goods were found in the demon's lair."

"A batch of cloth from our Zhu family is also among them."

"Oh!" Wang Rui's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:
"That……"

"Brother Zhu, could you help bring the Wang family's medicinal herbs out of the Sanhe Gang? The Wang family will surely repay you handsomely."

"I understand." Zhu Ju understood.
"The Sanhe Gang wants money?"

"It's not just about money," Wang Rui shook his head, a bitter look on his face.

"That batch of goods was worth a total of five thousand taels of silver. Including shipping and cost, the profit was at most a little over one thousand taels."

"And the Sanhe Gang..." "demands that we pay out three thousand taels of silver."

Don't take it.

We lost five thousand taels of silver for nothing.

take.

The losses are still considerable.

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju frowned:

"That's asking for the moon."

It's understandable to ask for a certain amount of money after recovering something, but asking for so much is pure extortion.

"call……"

The pill entered his stomach.

A warm current rose from my abdomen.

As the Dragon Elephant Force circulated, Zhu Ju's skin and flesh trembled slightly, and his internal energy and blood circulated rapidly.

Dantian area.

The shrunken Minghuang armor was enveloped in qi and blood, rising and falling.

The Qi and Blood Divine Weapon is like a second dantian, accelerating the circulation of Qi and blood, and better tempering the physical body.

After a while.

Zhu Ju felt a slight tingling sensation in his meridians and immediately realized that his cultivation for the day was complete. He slowly stopped the method.

"The benefits of Qi and Blood Divine Weapons are beyond imagination. Even ordinary people can achieve the seventh rank. Why are there so few of these?"

The vast Taiyuan Prefecture.

There are only a handful of top-tier experts at the sixth rank, and those at the seventh rank are already considered masters. However, with a Qi and Blood Divine Weapon, even an ordinary person cultivating a common method would have a great chance of reaching the seventh rank. Such a treasure should not be so rare.

At least……

In Zhu Ju’s view, refining a weapon of qi and blood is not difficult.

That is where he falls short.

For someone who once possessed a third-grade cultivation level, refining a Qi and Blood Divine Weapon was not only impossible, but also extremely difficult.

Especially the Qi and Blood Divine Weapons of the fifth rank and above, which are rare treasures even in top sects.

and.

The more than two thousand catties of Demon-Devouring Iron used to forge the Bright Armor was the culmination of decades of accumulation by the Sanhe Gang.

Zhu Ju obtained it easily, but he had no idea how much effort the Sanhe Gang had put into acquiring these Demon-Devouring Irons.

Such a treasure, even if it could be refined into a divine weapon of qi and blood, would not be something an ordinary person could obtain.

not to mention.

Taiyuan Prefecture is ultimately just an insignificant place under the jurisdiction of the Divine Dynasty, so it is normal that Qi and Blood Divine Weapons are rare. If it were placed in a major sect like Zhenwu or Shenxiao, Qi and Blood Divine Weapons, although not everyone would have one, would not be considered rare.

"Wow..."

Zhu Juxu clasped his hands.

The Minghuang Armor inside his body trembled slightly, then quickly materialized and enveloped his body completely.

A sense of weightiness arises spontaneously.

"Wearing the Bright Armor, my blood and qi power exploded even more, and for a short time I could be on par with a seventh-rank martial artist."

"However, it is still far inferior to that poisonous dragon."

Most demons are much larger than humans, and their blood and energy are naturally stronger. However, the Demon-Devouring Iron can suppress demonic power. Otherwise, even if Zhu Ju's swordsmanship was extraordinary, he would have had difficulty killing that demon that day.

"Master."

The servant's voice came from outside the door:

"Manager Liu is back."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju put away the Minghuang Armor:

"So fast?"

"It seems things aren't going so smoothly."

"Yes." The servant should reply:
"The Sanhe Gang demanded four thousand taels of silver before they would take the cloth. Manager Liu dared not act on his own and came back to ask for instructions."

"Four thousand taels of silver?" Zhu Ju chuckled.
Even if you sell all the goods, how much money will you make?

shook his head.

He pushed open the door and went out.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Zhou residence."

"Yes."
