Fantasy: I can equip everything

Chen Chuang walked down the street, his face pale, leaning against a stone wall and lifting the corner of his clothes.

Three wavy blood-red lines encircled his waist and abdomen, running from his navel down to his lower back, layer upon layer, as if someone had bound him with silk three times around his waist.

"The tribute has been paid..."

Just now, the Ghost Lady took another puff of his breath.

The ten points of Qi and Blood I gained today from using ginseng root were directly drained away.

Compared to before, perhaps it's because his physical strength is now higher, making him more sensitive to changes within his body.

When the blood and qi levels drop, you can clearly feel waves of weakness washing over you.

The pain nearly caused him to collapse on the street, despite his triumphant spirit after slaying the external demon.

With a wry smile, Chen Chuang suddenly thought of something.

According to the rituals of the ghost bride, after completing the six rites, she must "marry" him and take him back to the underworld.

But now, Chen Chuang's Qi and Blood value has increased by ten points.

The six rites were completed, but the person was still alive. What kind of expression would that ghost have?

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Chen Chuang looked up at the small courtyard not far ahead.

He didn't return to the original owner's dilapidated courtyard, but instead went to Wu Lao Er's house.

It wasn't that he wanted to relieve his anger.

Instead, he wanted to ask Jinlian again whether Old Master Wu had any other businesses similar to the gambling den he owned today.

The Demoness's Curse unlocks the equipment slots...

Everything costs money.

If possible, he also wanted to see if he could buy the cultivation technique with money.

Having witnessed Li Yurou's methods tonight, Chen Chuang is even more eager to become stronger as soon as possible.

The girl's slender body contained more vital energy than this grown man.

As one's realm increases, the maximum value of one's Qi and Blood will inevitably increase as well.

If it were someone else, it would definitely be impossible for them to break through in such a short time.

But Chen Chuang has a cheat code!

With the right equipment, he can instantly reach the level of external force cultivation.

However, it's unclear whether his current attribute values ​​can meet the equipment requirements for external force techniques.

I need to find a way to get a couple more cultivation manuals to improve my attribute values.

Or obtain ten catties of demon tiger bones to solidify the Iron Bone Technique.

That way he can have an extra equipment slot, and then use another thousand taels of silver to open a third equipment slot.

Two Body Tempering Realm cultivation techniques should be enough to meet the attribute value requirements of an external force cultivation technique, right?

Thinking about these things, Chen Chuang arrived at the gate of the courtyard and paused.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the silent street.

In the middle of the night, most of the people in the muddy alley were asleep, and the surroundings were quiet, without even the sound of a dog barking.

Without changing his expression, he pushed open the courtyard gate and walked straight in.

"Brother Chuang, you're back?"

To his surprise, Jinlian was still awake.

Hearing the noise, she immediately came out from the inner room.

His tone carried a hint of relief.

It seemed as if they were afraid Chen Chuang wouldn't come back.

Chen Chuang nodded, and was about to ask a question when Jinlian said, "Brother Chuang, why don't you change your clothes first? I've brewed some medicine for you, and I'll bring it to you now."

A moment later, Jinlian came out with a teacup and placed it in front of Chen Chuang.

"Brother Chuang, I know you haven't been feeling well lately..." Jinlian pursed her lips, looking at Chen Chuang with a complicated expression, and said, "I don't have much skill, so I can't get those highly nourishing medicinal herbs. But today I went to see my old friends and got some cordyceps from them."

"This stuff, while not as good as ginseng or snow lotus, still has some effect in replenishing qi and blood."

Chen Chuang's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

He took the teacup and stirred it with a spoon.

Jinlian stood silently in front of him, watching quietly.

A hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

"By the way," Chen Chuang suddenly put down his spoon and looked at Jinlian, "Does Wu Lao Er's territory have any other businesses like gambling dens that make quick money?"

Jinlian paused, pondered for a moment, and shook her head, saying, "I've never heard him mention it..."

Her gaze drifted over the teacup in front of Chen Chuang, and she said, "Brother Chuang, if you're looking for a place like this, I'll ask my old friends again tomorrow."

"You look so tired, you should take your medicine and rest."

Chen Chuang nodded, picked up the spoon, and slowly brought it to his mouth.

"Oh, right..."

But then, as if remembering something, he put it down again.

Jinlian's expression shifted several times. When she saw Chen Chuang looking up, she quickly lowered her head.

"You're not talking nonsense, are you?"

Jinlian quickly shook her head and explained, "Brother Chuang, I know what's important. I know what I should and shouldn't say."

"That's good."

Chen Chuang chuckled softly, then suddenly asked, "What's in this?"

Jinlian froze instantly, her pupils dilating sharply.

Then, her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Brother Chuang, what are you talking about? There are just some cordyceps in there..."

Chen Chuang ignored her explanation and said to himself, "You're a smart person, you should know that since I've let you live, you won't be in any danger in the short term."

"But today, you still tried to kill me."

"The methods were clumsy and unnatural; they were clearly not planned, but rather a last resort. They didn't even bother to come up with a good excuse."

Clang.

Chen Chuang threw the spoon into the teacup, leaned back, and said, "I just killed Wu Lao Er, and I spared your life because I showed you mercy."

"Logically speaking, if you were afraid I would change my mind, you should have stayed at home and kept a low profile as much as possible."

"It was the Canal Gang that made you want to kill me, wasn't it?"

With a thud, Jinlian sat down on the ground.

The fear in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Brother Chuang! I...I was forced into it, I had no choice..."

Chen Chuang sighed and shook his head, saying, "Actually, isn't this in line with your thinking?"

"A woman like you has seen it all before, witnessing people's petty scheming and their tendency to turn their backs on you."

"I've changed so much in such a short time, who knows what incredible opportunity I've received."

"You know this secret, and you're afraid I'll kill you to keep it quiet."

"Using the power of the shipping guild to kill me outright would actually be a very good option, wouldn't it?"

Jinlian sobbed and kept backing away, pleading for mercy.

"No, Brother Chuang, I..."

But the next moment, she suddenly bumped into the washstand next to her.

The bronze mirror was overturned and fell to the ground with a piercing buzz.

Almost simultaneously, five figures appeared outside the courtyard at some unknown time, and immediately jumped in upon hearing the commotion.

bump!

The door was kicked open, and Tian Zhi, the steward of the canal gang, led his men straight in.

Seeing Chen Chuang sitting there, not showing any signs of being drugged, was not surprising.

"That woman said you've changed a lot, and it's true."

"Wu Lao Er can't compare to this kind of magnanimity."

As they were talking, Tian Zhi walked over and sat down opposite Chen Chuang. He glanced at the blood-red pattern on Chen Chuang's wrist and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Chen Chuang confirmed his guess and chuckled, saying, "You guys came pretty quickly. I thought it would take at least a day or two for the reaction to happen."

Tian Zhi sighed and said, "Yes, that's how it should be."

"Although we knew that Wu Lao Er was incompetent, we didn't expect that he would mess up such an important matter."

"Brother, let me introduce myself. My name is Tian Zhi, I am a steward at the East Wharf of the Canal Gang, and an external martial artist."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: stop struggling. Just obediently wait to be married off by the ghost woman and accept your fate and wait to die."

"I'll make the decision. I'll find a good burial place for your body. I won't throw it into the Daqing River."

"If you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck."

"May I be reborn into a better family in my next life."

Chen Chuang looked at Tian Zhi with amusement and smiled, "What if I don't agree?"

Tian Zhi's face darkened, and he remained silent.

The bulging muscles on his body and the increasingly loud clanging of bones answered Chen Chuang's question.

The next moment, Tian Zhi moved.

He spread his hands apart and tore the wooden table in front of him apart like paper, then rushed straight towards Chen Chuang.

His bones writhed, concentrating all the power in his body into his fist.

The Cao Bang's external martial arts, the Bone-Stopping Fist!
