Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 9 9 Black Market Channel, Testing

"Sister Yuelu, don't be angry. Que'er also cares about my brother."

Mu Cha knew that he was not good at speaking and didn't know how to say sweet words. With a sincere look on his face, he took out the dried meat from his arms very straightforwardly.
"But my eldest brother said that we have already received a great favor from the chief escort, and we cannot be greedy. This is not the way of life."

“We can’t have this jerky.”

Zhang Yuelu was surprised when she heard this.

She knew that the two brothers came from a poor family and probably didn't know the origin of the dried meat.

Since you know it's valuable, does that mean you've eaten it?
Knowing the effects of the jerky, can you still resist the temptation and send it back?

After taking the dried meat, Zhang Yuelu, who was familiar with the taste, immediately knew that it was indeed the one she usually ate.

Her eyes softened instantly.

It seems that the Li brothers are indeed grateful and know their limits.

Zhang Que'er saw her sister's face soften, knowing she had passed the test, and her sadness turned to joy. She also felt that Mu Cha, who had just pleaded with her third sister on her behalf, a figure as small as herself, suddenly seemed incredibly tall in her heart.

"Hehe, Mu Cha, that idiot, he still cares about me."

Just as she was about to step forward and comfort Mu Cha's wounded heart on his shoulder, Zhang Yuelu had already taken a step ahead of her and hugged Mu Cha in her arms with a smile on her face like a spring breeze. Zhang Que'er was so angry that she clenched her fists, but she could only endure it for the time being.

"Mu Cha, I know you are a good boy. So, take a letter to your elder brother for me later."

"Demon meat?"

Li Cunxiao looked at the letter in his hand. The white rice paper was soft and tough, the lines of handwriting were beautiful, and the content and wording were quite gentle.

Simply put, Zhang Yuelu lightly let the matter go. It was just a child's mischief and there was no need to make a big fuss about it.

There was no reward or punishment for the Li brothers who returned the property to its original owner, but Li Cunxiao knew that this was already the best outcome.

After all, to put it bluntly, the two brothers were living under someone else's roof and had not made any contributions to the escort agency.

The demon dried meat didn't belong to him in the first place. If he was happy, he could have given it to you as a reward. It was understandable that he didn't give it to you. He didn't owe you anything, did he?
I hope Mu Cha is okay.

The only thing that surprised Li Cunxiao was that Zhang Yuelu explained in detail the function of the demon meat in the letter, which was both an explanation and a kind of empty promise of encouragement.

"Demons are brutal beasts, their flesh and blood brimming with murderous energy. If consumed without proper preparation, they can cause irritability at best, and even madness at worst."

"In the escort agency, only escort masters are qualified to receive demon meat."

"A warrior practices martial arts, and what he consumes is actually the flesh and blood of demons?"

Li Cunxiao subconsciously recalled the inexplicable irritation that arose in his heart when he took the demon meat in the morning, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yuelu's letter mentioned that the processed demon meat can greatly replenish qi and blood while minimizing the impact on the spirit.

After Li Cunxiao took the demon meat jerky in the morning, his blood and energy increased, and the energy of the vajra also increased by about one sixteenth.

However, when I took the medicine soup from the escort agency after morning exercises, only my qi and blood increased, and the vajra had no reaction at all.

If the effect of the medicine soup is not too weak to cause the vajra reaction, then it means
"It's the evil spirit! The vajra needs the evil spirit!"

"Demons are demons. Does eating their flesh count as conquering them?!"

The emergence of new ideas immediately cheered up Li Cunxiao.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that the more unprocessed the demon flesh is and the stronger the evil aura it contains, the better the effect it will have on him?

He had personally experienced that the processed demon meat was top-grade for practicing martial arts, and its sale was bound to have many restrictions, and the price would not be something he could afford.

But what about the black market?
Where there are rules, there will always be people who break them. Where there are black and white ways, there will always be gray areas.

The only problem now is that we need to find someone with connections. After all, the black market is called this name, so it must be hidden from the sight of ordinary people.

A name suddenly came to mind.

"I remember that when Hebi talked about his own perception of Qi and blood, there seemed to be some hidden meaning."

The next day.

It was still dark when the door of Room 4 opened. The first person to come out was Qin Yu, who was humming a tune, followed by Run Dong, who was walking hurriedly. However, when they arrived at the training ground, the two roommates were already standing there among the sparse group of people who had gotten up early to practice.

Qin Yu suddenly felt a sense of superiority, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he nudged Rundong beside him and raised his eyebrows: "Look over there..."

Rundong looked over subconsciously and saw that it was Li Cunxiao and He Bi doing horse stance there.

His face also subconsciously raised a little, and there was a little more spirit in his eyes.

Young people always tend to compare with each other, especially when they live with roommates.

Like Rundong and Qin Yu, both were sons of small shop owners. In order to join the escort agency and learn martial arts, their families suffered heavy losses and spent a lot of money.

However, as for the remaining two people, He Bi's father was a wealthy businessman from the outer city who ran a grain shop. His family was very wealthy, so it was okay for him to learn the Seven-Day Tiger Form Fist.

But the other Li Cunxiao, who was just a waiter working in a restaurant, had some kind of luck that allowed him to be taken care of by the chief escort and join the escort agency with his younger brother.

Moreover, after half a month, he could already vaguely feel the qi and blood.

This speed is actually not particularly fast among all the apprentices in the escort agency.

But it surpassed Rundong, who had been in school for two months, and Qin Yu, who had been in school for one month.

This greatly stimulates the self-esteem of young people.

Fortunately, the two of them finally broke through first. Now they no longer have to stand in horse stance with ordinary apprentices, but are learning how to fight and practice martial arts on the other side of the training ground. They have become reserve escorts!
After saying hello to their "former" roommate from a distance, Qin Yu and Run Dong walked away feeling refreshed.

"Qin Yu and the others have been learning fighting techniques for seven or eight days, right?"

Hebi was a handsome young man with a tall and straight figure. He said this, but his tone was not full of envy, but rather a hint of complacency and joy.

Li Cunxiao had been at the escort agency for half a month. He practiced martial arts every day, and his meals were filled with oil. His body had expanded rapidly, and he had grown more than an inch taller.

Compared to He Bi's handsome young man, he looks more like a strong man in his twenties, quite tough.

Li Cunxiao glanced at He Bi when he heard this, and when he thought about the other party's progress in practicing martial arts, he immediately had some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, when all the guys arrived and Cui Yao was about to train them, He Bi suddenly stepped out from the crowd, bowed and said loudly:

"Master Cui, I had some insights while practicing yesterday. I can now sense the Qi and blood."

Before he finished speaking, the guys suddenly let out a low cry. Cui Yao was a little surprised when he heard it, and immediately went forward to test it.

In the human body, the places where the meridians intersect are both acupuncture points and hubs of qi and blood.

Cui Yao struck several acupuncture points on his arm with extremely subtle force. If someone who had not yet mastered the art would only feel numbness and itching, but someone who had mastered Tiger Form Fist could sense the changes in the flow of Qi and blood.

Sure enough, Hebi answered several times correctly, and the onlookers immediately showed envy.

"I remember it's been less than half a month since he started this? He can already sense the Qi and blood already?"

"They have a large family and wealth, so they don't lack nourishing things. As long as their qi and blood are strong, even a blind person can sense it!"

Why should he be indifferent to the outside noise? Others might be surprised, but he knew that in order to shorten the time of sensing the Qi, he took the risk of consuming demon meat bought on the black market.

During the days when he was not here, he said that he had something going on at home. In fact, it was because he had no experience and ate too much for the first time. The evil spirit of the demon meat rushed into his head, and he was too manic to practice.

In order to calm him down, all the maids in the house were exhausted.

After venting, why bother to remember the lesson and only take a little bit each time.

Fortunately, I finally broke through and all the suffering was not in vain.

"I remember it hasn't been ten days since you started, right? Not bad."

Cui Yao showed a hint of satisfaction. The shorter the time it took to sense Qi, the higher the talent, or perhaps the family was willing to spend money.

Either way, it's good for the escort agency.

He Bi couldn't help showing some joy, and just when he was about to say something humble, Li Cunxiao suddenly stepped out from the crowd, bowed and said:

"Master Cui, I have also achieved a breakthrough in the sense of Qi. Please test me."
