Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Upon arriving at Yang Changping's office, one finds him reading official documents.

"Master, I'm not feeling well today and would like to ask for leave to go to the clinic for a check-up," Zhang Jianyun said, making up a story. He couldn't very well say that he was fine at the clinic and wanted to go to the Litian Mountains to hunt Ironback Bears for money.

"Where do you feel unwell? I know a little about medicine, I can take a look at you first," Yang Changping said, putting down the documents in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianyun paused, looking slightly embarrassed, and quickly said, "No need to trouble you, Pavilion Master, I just have a bit of an upset stomach."

Seeing that Zhang Jianyun didn't want to be examined by him, Yang Changping didn't force him: "Alright, you should take better care of your health in the meantime. You don't need to work so hard every day. You should have some fun and not mistreat yourself."

After leaving the pavilion, Zhang Jianyun bought a package on the street and headed straight for the Litian Mountain Range.

Without horses, they had to walk to the Litian Mountains.

Walking briskly, after some time, Zhang Jianyun arrived outside the Litian Mountain Range.

People from all walks of life constantly enter and leave the Litian Mountains, always in groups of three or five; none of them enter the Litian Mountains alone.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Jianyun stepped into the Litian Mountain Range.

Those martial artists entering and leaving the Litian Mountain Range all turned their heads when they saw Zhang Jianyun alone.

"Who is that person? How dare he enter the Litian Mountains alone?"

"Is he here to die? Does he not want to live anymore?"

"Could it be that he was unaware of the dangers of the Li Tian Mountains that day? Should we go and warn him?"

Several kind-hearted martial arts figures caught up with Zhang Jianyun and stopped him.

"Brother, the Li Tian Mountains are extremely dangerous. You'd better not come alone."

"Did you come here alone to die? Go back now."

"Brother, this is not a place for you. Take my advice and leave now."

Looking at the five martial arts figures who had stopped him, Zhang Jianyun smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I know my limits. I am not unaware of the dangers of the Litian Mountains."

After saying that, Zhang Jianyun walked past the five martial arts figures and continued on his way.

Staring dumbfounded at Zhang Jianyun's departing figure, the group of martial arts figures exchanged glances before continuing on their way in silence.

Arriving at the place where he had hunted the Ironback Bear before, Zhang Jianyun searched for a while but couldn't find it, so he had to search everywhere.

After searching for a while, they finally spotted a bear drinking water by a small river.

Slowly approaching the ironback bear, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

The ironback bear, which was drinking water, seemed to sense danger and jumped into the river, then jumped to the other side.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun hurriedly drew his knife and gave chase.

The Ironback Bear charged wildly, trying to shake off Zhang Jianyun's pursuit.

Zhang Jianyun continued to accelerate, getting closer and closer to the Ironback Bear.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun didn't want to be led deeper into the Litian Mountains by the Ironback Bear, so he suddenly threw the fish-patterned knife in his hand, plunging it into the Ironback Bear's hind leg.

Despite being stabbed by the fish-patterned knife, the Ironback Bear continued to run wildly, but its speed gradually decreased until it finally collapsed in the grass.

After catching up, Zhang Jianyun drew his fish-patterned knife and slashed the Ironback Bear's throat. The Ironback Bear struggled for a while before dying.

After quickly cutting off the bear skin and bile, Zhang Jianyun continued his search for the Ironback Bear.

Not long after, he encountered an iron-backed bear, which he killed in no time and successfully obtained its skin and gallbladder.

After searching for a while longer, they finally encountered an ironback bear after most of the day had passed. They killed it and cut off its skin and gallbladder.

With three bear skins and bear gallbladders, I wonder if I can sell them in Cangxi Town. I might have to make a trip to the county seat.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Brother Zhang, we meet again."

Zhang Jianyun turned around and saw that it was his old acquaintances Niu San and Zhong Cheng.

"Brother Zhang, you killed three Ironback Bears?"

Upon seeing the package Zhang Jianyun had laid out on the ground, Niu San exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you still think Brother Zhang is the same Brother Zhang from that day? He swallowed the Frostflower Fruit," Zhong Cheng said.

Hearing this, Zhang Jianyun felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had broken Niu San's rules and picked the Frostflower Fruit first.

"Brother Zhang, what does that Frostflower Fruit taste like?" Niu San asked with some envy.

"It doesn't have any special flavor, it's just very cold," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Brother Zhang, do you sell these bear skins and bear gallbladders?" Zhong Cheng asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianyun was overjoyed and quickly nodded, "Of course I'll sell."

Zhong Cheng squatted down, examined the bear skin and gallbladder, then stood up and said, "Brother Zhang, you have three bear skins and three bear gallbladders here. How about I give you 18 taels of silver?"

Having experienced the distribution of money after killing the Ironback Bear last time, Zhang Jianyun knew that 18 taels was roughly the market price.

"Okay, that's the price." Zhang Jianyun said readily.

"Brother, that's great!" Zhong Cheng said with great joy, and then took out 18 taels of silver notes from his pocket.

With the silver notes in hand, Zhang Jianyun was certain that with this money, he could take over the two slaughterhouses.

"Brother, are you going to continue killing Ironback Bears in the mountains?" Niu San asked.

Zhang Jianyun shook his head: "It's not easy to encounter an Ironback Bear. I've already killed three today, that's enough."

"Brother Zhang, be careful if you leave the mountains. I just saw some martial artists who fought over the Frost Blossom Fruit last time at the entrance. If they see you, they might try to harm you," Niu San said.

"It's alright, they can't do anything to me," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

"That's true, after all, you're the man who ate the Frostflower Fruit." Niu San laughed along.

After saying goodbye to Zhong Cheng and Niu San, Zhang Jianyun headed out of the Tianshan Mountains.

Sure enough, as they approached the exit, Zhang Jianyun encountered six martial arts figures.

The moment these martial arts figures saw Zhang Jianyun, their eyes blazed with fury as they rushed over and surrounded him.

"Kid, we've finally found you."

"Hand over the Frostflower Fruit, or we'll make sure you die here."

Looking at the group of martial arts figures surrounding him, Zhang Jianyun laughed and said, "You don't really think I'd just let the Frostflower Fruit rot after I got it, do you? Do you think I'm that naive?"

Upon hearing this, the martial arts figures all took a step back.

"Hmph, even if you eat the Frostflower Fruit, we will not let you off the hook, you despicable scoundrel."

Snapped!

Zhang Jianyun rushed forward and slapped the person who said those words, sending him flying. The other martial arts figures took another step back.

"Get out of my way, don't mess with me," Zhang Jianyun said coldly.

After exchanging glances, the group of martial arts figures angrily parted to make way for each other.

As Zhang Jian slowly walked out of the encirclement, he felt somewhat smug; this was the benefit of strength.

What's the use of having many people? They won't dare to make a move even if they surround you.

Back in Cangxi Town, Zhang Jianyun went to the slaughterhouse and found Zheng Hong, the manager of the slaughterhouse.

"Could you help me find out if we can acquire the other two slaughterhouses in town?" Zhang Jianyun said.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hong became excited: "Sir, you want to monopolize the entire town's slaughtering business?"

"Pretty much. The main thing is that I'm interested in slaughtering livestock. Our slaughterhouse slaughters too few animals every day," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find out the prices for acquiring the other two slaughterhouses," Zheng Hong declared.

"Price is one aspect, but the main thing is that the owners of the two slaughterhouses have to be willing to sell," Zhang Jianyun said.

"What does the master mean?" Zheng Hong asked cautiously.

"If the acquisition goes smoothly, a higher price is fine. But if it doesn't go smoothly, I need you to use some methods to help me acquire it," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it," Zheng Hong assured him.
