Fantasy: I can equip everything

"Our Small Knife Society is divided into three branches: the Sharp Knife Branch, the Iron Mouth Branch, and the Ten Thousand Gold Branch."

"The Sharp Knife Hall you belong to is the foundation of our Small Knife Society. Its members must be at least Body Tempering Realm martial artists, and are specifically responsible for external attacks."

"The Iron Mouth Gang consists of men who are good at talking. Their main job is to reason with the merchants. If they can get through to them, that's best. If not, we have to call in the Sharp Knife Gang."

"My company, Wan Jin Tang, is specifically responsible for managing the gang's assets, accounts, and logistics. If you need anything in the future, Thirteenth Master, just come and find me."

In front of the Small Knife Society's warehouse, while the servants were retrieving items, Zhang Shuwen explained some information about the Small Knife Society to Chen Chuang.

Before long, the servants brought the things over.

A jade box containing a century-old snow lotus.

Beside it, neatly stacked were silver notes worth two thousand taels of silver.

Chen Chuang first took the jade box, opened it, and looked inside.

[A usable herb has been discovered. Equip it?]

[Centennial Snow Lotus]

[Grade: Blue]

[Attribute Bonus: Increases maximum HP by 50 points]

[Special Effect: When placed in the equipment slot, it grants the effect of restoring 5 HP per day. Alternatively, it can be consumed in the equipment slot to restore 100 HP in one go.]

Equipment Requirements: None

The century-long chill of the snow-capped mountain peaks has concentrated a potent medicinal power.

The effects are almost identical to those of the previous century-old wild ginseng.

Chen Chuang nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly said, "Brother Zhang, could you help me exchange one thousand taels for silver ingots?"

Zhang Shuwen was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled as to why Chen Chuang would give up the easily portable silver notes.

However, he didn't care too much. He told the servants, and soon it was replaced with a wooden box.

A thousand taels of silver, weighing nearly seventy or eighty catties, required two servants from the Little Knife Society to carry together.

But Chen Chuang lifted it up with one hand and easily hoisted it onto his shoulder.

"The gang has extra rooms, but for someone like you, the leader of the Sharp Knife Hall, the gang will also fund the purchase of a residence outside. I'll take care of that for you by tomorrow. Why don't you rest here at the gang tonight?"

Chen Chuang shook his head and said directly, "I still have things to take care of outside, so let's call it a day. Tomorrow, once you've settled on the house, just send someone to let me know, and I'll come over directly."

"Okay." Zhang Shuwen nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, you don't need to pay any fees to the gang for the four streets you're assigned. You'll earn at least several dozen taels of silver every month."

"However, you might not be able to manage it all by yourself. If needed, I can find some of the younger members from the Sharp Knife Gang for you, but you'll have to pay their own allowance."

Chen Chuang nodded and said, "I understand, but there's no rush for now."

Unlike others, he didn't need underlings to maintain his business; he relied on a steady, long-term approach.

One person, plus a lame monkey and a blind rat, is enough.

It's time to go back and find them.

I hope they don't screw themselves up at Chunfeng Tower.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

After greeting Zhang Shuwen, I was just about to leave when Zhang Shuwen suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his head and said, "Thirteenth Master, wait a minute. Look at my memory, I actually forgot about this."

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket and handed it to him.

"This is..."

Chen Chuang took it out of curiosity.

The mechanical voice that echoed in my mind answered the question first.

[A usable cultivation technique has been discovered. Equip it?]

【Rolling leather】

Grade: White

[Attribute Bonus: Defense +5]

[Special Effect: Directly gains the Skin Refining Physique. Strength +5]

[Equipment Requirements: Agility 3]

[Master Knife, leader of the Little Knife Gang, has experienced hundreds of street fights and created his own basic skin-refining techniques. A thug who has endured hundreds of beatings, he eventually becomes the top dog in the Qinghe underworld.]

[Consolidation Requirements: 10 jin of demon leather.]

"Although you already have the cultivation method for the Small Knife Society's martial arts, this is an essential tool for everyone in our Sharp Knife Hall. You can take it back and refer to it."

Zhang Shuwen explained with a smile.

Chen Chuang's lips curled up slightly, and he was in a great mood.

He joined the Small Knife Society and solved the problems of the Canal Gang and the officials.

They also obtained silver and a century-old snow lotus from here.

With so many benefits, he momentarily forgot about the Little Knife Society's cultivation techniques.

It's this curing requirement...

Chen Chuang looked up at Zhang Shuwen and asked, "Does our gang have any monster leather? I can pay for it."

Zhang Shuwen replied matter-of-factly, "Of course there is. The best auxiliary material for cultivating the 'Rolling Blade Skin' technique is demonic leather. The gang has stockpiled quite a bit of these. The price is also cheaper than outside, two hundred taels per pound."

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Chuang immediately took out the silver notes that were still warm.

"Give me ten catties."
