Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 1 Qingxi Town (Seeking follow-up reading)
Outside Yingzhou City, in Qingxi Town, the Dian Forest spans three states, quiet yet dangerous.

The young man held a black spear in his hand and shook the firewood in his mouth. The silver ribbons on the spear danced in the wind.

He was lying in a yellow bush, looking down from above, staring closely at his prey.

Next to the young man was a girl in a green robe, holding an ancient large bow, and her clear eyes were observing the movements of her prey.

"It's extremely fast and seems to have intelligence. It's a second-level ferocious beast. There are scales on its ears. It's a scaly-eared white bear." said the girl.

The young man's eyebrows lit up with joy. "A second-level inner elixir! I got it!" A hint of joy flashed across his handsome face, but then it was suppressed by doubt again. "However, the forests in Qingxi Town can only hunt beasts of lower levels. Even first-level beasts are extremely rare, let alone second-level ones."

"The Xing family is currently building a new restaurant." The girl simply said, pointing out the reason.

"That old thief Xing Rufeng has built so many restaurants and gambling houses over the years, but it's still not enough. He has cut down most of the forests in Qingxi Town. If he keeps cutting down trees like this, who knows what level of monster will jump out tomorrow!" the young man complained.

"Xiaobao... Xiaobao..." Not far away, a white-haired old woman appeared in their sight, shouting something.

"Oh no! If Grandma makes such a big noise, she might be targeted by that scaly-eared white bear. We have to..."

As the young man spoke, he saw that the girl had already placed the arrow on the ancient large bow. The indigo feathers formed a sharp contrast with the bronze bow in the sunlight.

The two of them looked at the scaly-eared white bear sniffing the ground and looking towards a bush covered with fallen leaves at the edge of the woods. Behind the bush, two round-shaped buns appeared.

The panicked old woman saw the scaly-eared white bear. Following the scaly-eared white bear's gaze, the ball-shaped bun behind the bushes was like two poisonous thorns, piercing her heart.

After a brief pause, the old woman roared hoarsely and staggered towards the pair of ball-shaped buns.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The girl's arrow had already left the bow and flew towards the scaly-eared white bear, landing around it.

The scaly-eared white bear looked at the arrows on the ground, then looked at the bushes where the girl was, revealing a hint of disdain.

"Are you going to do it or should I?" the girl asked softly.

The young man stood up, stretched himself, and spat out the firewood in his mouth. He said, "Humph, a second-level beast looks down on people. Naturally, I, your brother, will take care of it."

He gently stroked the black spear in his hand, jumped down from a high place, and blocked the way of the scaly-eared white bear.

Seeing that its way was blocked, the scaly-eared white bear slapped the ground with its huge paws and growled as it looked at the young man more than ten feet away.

"Little beast, today I'll let you see my gun." After saying that, the young man straightened up the black spear and made a fighting posture.

Seeing this, the scaly-eared white bear roared and rushed towards the boy.

The boy hefted the spear onto his shoulder, took a step back, grinned, and threw the spear.

The spear left his hand, like a willow leaf in the wind, floating lightly and drawing a dark arc.

The boy changed from a melee stance to throwing the spear, which obviously caught the scaly-eared white bear by surprise.

The scaly-eared white bear looked up, did not take the spear thrown by the young man seriously, and did not slow down its pace.

The black spear passed over the scaly-eared white bear's head, entered from its back, and came out from its lower abdomen, nailing the scaly-eared white bear to the ground!
The scaly-eared white bear seemed to be in great pain, looking at the young man unwillingly. It struggled for a moment but could no longer move.

"Let's get the pill." The girl urged.

The young man took out an exquisite dagger, his movements quite skillful...

He held the inner elixir he had just taken out in his hand and examined it under the sunlight. "It's jet black, and has a warm texture. It's indeed a second-level inner elixir."

The young man stood up and saw the old woman leading a child about six or seven years old towards her.

"Thank you both, benefactors! If you hadn't saved us, my grandfather and I would have been killed by that giant bear."

The old woman was about to pull the child to his knees when the young girl, who had put away her arrows, grabbed her and said, "Grandma, there's no need to do this. It's just a simple favor."

The young man also reacted and looked at the grandfather and grandson. The child clearly had two ball-shaped buns on his head.

"I don't know the names of the two benefactors yet, so I can repay them in the future." The old woman bowed repeatedly to the young man and girl.

"That's not necessary. What my sister said just now is true. We came to Qingxi Town to hunt. This creature is no ordinary beast. It is extremely ferocious. Now it has appeared in Qingxi Town. If we don't get rid of it today, who knows how many people will suffer."

Seeing that the old woman still couldn't let it go, the young man picked up the inner elixir in his hand and said to the old woman, "Look, grandma, this is called inner elixir, it's a treasure, we have got a great bargain." The old woman finally began to feel relieved, and the expression on her face relaxed a little.

The girl stuffed the wrapped bear skin into her brother's hand. The boy hesitated for a moment and then looked at the grandfather and grandson. They were both dressed in rags, and this sight seemed a little dazzling in the biting wind of the cold north.

He stuffed the bear skin into the old woman's hand, but she looked embarrassed and refused to accept it.

The girl stuffed the bear skin from her brother's hand into the little boy's arms, took out a few taels of silver and stuffed it into the boy's pocket. She reached out and touched the little boy's head, with a warm smile on her face.

"Listen to my sister and give this money to my mother-in-law to make two bearskin coats. They will definitely keep you warm."

The little boy struggled to hold onto the bear skin, nodded, and thanked the girl. Then the grandfather and grandson saw the two men mount their horses and ride off. The young man on the horse shouted, "The Yunnan forest is very dangerous right now. Return home quickly!"

The two people galloping on their horses were none other than Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xian, the eldest son and second daughter of the Jiang family, one of the three major families of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The two of them traveled from Qingxi Town all the way to the east of Yingzhou City, stopping at a teahouse to rest. When they reached the Yingzhou City market, they were stopped by several young men.

These young men were wearing dark blue Taoist robes with the word "Xiu Xin" tattooed on their chests. They were obviously disciples of Xiu Xin Martial Arts School, the largest private martial arts school in Yingzhou.

"Jiang Xuan, let me ask you, what did you do in Qingxi Town today?"

Among the young men who blocked the road, the leader was tall and handsome, and he shouted at Jiang Xuan on his horse.

"Xing Yue, do you have nothing to do after practicing martial arts all day? What does it have to do with you where I go? Get out of the way!" Jiang Xuan was a little impatient.

Xing Yue was about to retort when he saw the girl on horseback behind Jiang Xuan. He wanted to take a closer look, but he found that the girl was wearing a green robe that covered her face and figure tightly. He immediately became interested: "Oh, why are you hiding so much? It turns out you're trying to pick up the young lady."

Xing Yue's words caused several other disciples of Xiuxin Martial Arts School to laugh maliciously, and a crowd of onlookers began to gather around.

"Isn't this Xing Yue, the son of Xing Rufeng, the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right. I heard that Xing Yue has excellent martial arts talent and is quite appreciated in Xiuxin Martial Arts School. I just don't know who this person on horseback is. It seems that there is no such person in any major martial arts school."

"You don't even know him. He's Jiang Xuan, the eldest son of the Jiang family. I've heard he's quite eccentric. The Jiang family is also one of the three major families in the Chamber of Commerce. It would be easy for them to enter the Xiuxin Martial Arts School. I don't know what this young man is thinking. He never leaves the house all day. Could he be a loser?"

"If the young masters of the three major families in the Chamber of Commerce don't go to the martial arts school, they're either good-for-nothings! I heard he has a younger sister who's even more of a sickly person. She's been seeing doctors a lot since she was little, and I don't know what strange illness she has."

"That's not all. To keep the secrets secret, the Jiang family hired away all the doctors they invited, claiming they were researching medicinal herbs. Besides a deserted medicine valley, how could the Jiang family actually have any medicinal herb business? I think they were just trying to cover up for their second young lady."

Jiang Xuan heard everyone's discussion, but he was not angry.

He looked at Xing Yue, whose expression was intriguing. "Xing Yue, I'll only say this once. She's not some young lady, and it's none of your business. If you're bored, go somewhere else and don't get in my way. Get lost!"

Xing Yue was instantly both angry and amused. "A loser who doesn't even go to a martial arts gym, you dare tell me to get lost? On what basis? With your worthless talent? I won't waste my time talking to you. The bear you hunted today was so huge, it must have an inner elixir. Hand it over to me!"

"How do you know I was hunting bears?"

"What's the difficulty?" Xing Yue said, waving to the Xing family servants behind him.

The servant threw a rather large leather bag at Jiang Xuan's feet. Jiang Xuan bent down and picked up the bag. The scaly-eared white bear skin in the bag was the one given to the little boy earlier!

"You! What did you do to the grandfather and grandson?" Jiang Xuan was immediately enraged and furious.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, but my subordinates are very clumsy and have no sense of propriety." After saying that, the servant of the Xing family sneered again, but was stopped by Xing Yue's eyes.

Jiang Xuan turned his horse around and was about to rush back to Qingxi Town. Unexpectedly, Xing Yue still refused to give in and stood in front of their horses.

Jiang Xuan leaned down and patted his mount: "Black Wolf, step over."

The mount named "Black Wolf" understood the hint, took a few steps to run up, leaped into the air, and knocked its hoof heavily on Xing Yue's shoulder. It landed gracefully and left in style...
