#98 - Chapter 98 Black Turtle Armor, a promising future
Li Ergou thought that instead of this, it would be better to do something directly to make everyone pay less attention to him. He didn't want to be too prominent and attract the attention of others. He just wanted to live his little life well and make a fortune in silence was the king's way.
Most importantly, he still had nearly two thousand catties of turtle meat on him, so he didn't care about a mere ten catties of turtle meat. Alas, being rich and powerful was nothing more than this.
With this thought, he directly and without hesitation cut out two portions of turtle meat, one catty each, and shouted: 'Lu Yun, Zhang Long, I am ashamed to accept these things, why don't you brothers help me share it?'
The two were surprised when they heard this. Zhang Long hurriedly said: "Ergou, don't joke. You have to know that this is turtle essence meat, which is valuable and rare. For cultivators like us, it is an amazing treasure, and its effect is no less than that of elixir."
Li Ergou smiled indifferently, thinking that if I took out thousands of catties of turtle meat, wouldn't I scare you to death.
He chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, he showed an indifferent expression and said: "Everyone is brothers, you have risked your lives for this, everyone should share the blessings and share the difficulties. Don't be polite, if you are too polite, I will fall out with you."
As the saying goes, 'He who touches pitch shall be defiled.' Li Ergou has been by Wu Shenxian's side for a long time, and he is quite good at coaxing or tricking.
When the two heard this, they felt very happy and moved, so they followed the trend and said: "Okay, since Ergou has said that, we would be ungrateful if we didn't take it. As Ergou said, everyone will be brothers from now on."
After saying polite words, the two took a piece of turtle meat each and left. Li Ergou didn't know that his meat was not given for nothing. In the future, in the yamen(衙门: government office), he would go from Ergou to Brother Gou.
Huang San was quite satisfied with Li Ergou's performance and said: "Ergou, I really didn't expect your magnanimity to be greater than I imagined. I can only be ashamed. I have been promoted toconstable. How about you come to my team as the captain? Don't worry, with me here, you won't be at a loss."
Li Ergou's heart moved. He and Huang San were also life-and-death friends. If the two were together, Huang San could really take care of him a lot, which would be great.
He immediately nodded and said: "Then in the future, please take care of me, sir."
Huang San smiled and said: "That's a must. To be honest, you saved my life. I want to invite you to thank you."
Li Ergou was flattered and said: "Sir, you are too serious. At the beginning, we also joined forces to defend against the enemy. Speaking of which, we have really experienced life and death together, and it can be regarded as mutual achievement.
By the way, I still have doubts. Didn't you say that the big turtle was killed by you, sir?"
Li Ergou was indeed puzzled. He clearly told Huang San that all the credit was his. Why would he be rewarded separately?
Huang San smiled indifferently, patted Li Ergou on the shoulder and said: "I know your kindness, but you don't know the methods of Great Xia Dynasty. If you rashly claim credit, once it is found out, you will be have your whole family exterminated, the risk is too great, it's not worth it, so I reported it truthfully, of course, I also said more about my credit.
I am very grateful to you that I can get such a big advantage from you. You don't know that there are five deputy constables staring at at Zhou's old constable's position after he stepped down. Without this credit, it would not be my turn to play at all, so I am very grateful to you.
And you didn't see that even the county magistrate didn't dare to hide the rewards privately. The thunderous methods of the Great Xia officialdom are terrifying. If it's yours, you can take it. If it's not yours, if you take it, just wait to lose your head."
Li Ergou was shocked. He didn't expect the Great Xia law to be so ruthless. It was also the first time he had seen the strictness of the Great Xia law.
Huang San kindly reminded at this moment; "Ergou, since you have given the two guys turtle meat, don't be stingy. Give each of the remaining constables a catty of turtle meat. It is better to have an equal distribution than a meager one.
It will be of great benefit to you in the future to befriend them in this way."
Li Ergou nodded, understanding Huang San's kindness. He really didn't think of these things. He didn't want benefits, but he was afraid that those guys would give him make things difficult for him. It is easy to see the king of hell, but hard to deal with the little devils. He still understands this principle.
So he asked Huang San to wait a moment, and separately paid respects to the five constables, giving each of them a catty of turtle meat, which made those people smile from ear to ear, and it was also considered to have left a good impression in everyone's heart.
In the restaurant, Huang San and Li Ergou raised their glasses and exchanged pleasantries, which was also regarded as completely treating Ergou as his own. He also told Li Ergou some wonderful things about the yamen, such as the ambiguous relationship between Constable Li and his subordinates, and Constable Zhao's homosexual tendencies, which shocked Li Ergou.
A heartfelt chat brought the two closer. Before leaving, Li Ergou also gave Huang San two second-generation eggs, telling him that these eggs have not yet been put on the market, and he should take two to taste first.
Huang San naturally knew about the first-generation eggs. Who in the entire Bitter Water County didn't know about it, but this second-generation egg was the first time he had heard of it, and it was also the first time he knew that this egg was actually made by Li Ergou, and he admired Li Ergou even more for a while.
Returning to his Bitter Mountain Courtyard, it was almost dusk. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw the three fox spirit again.
Li Ergou thought that these guys were here to give him money again, so he was happy.
He greeted: "Oh, it's you again, what's the matter?"
The old fox smiled and said: " young master, we are here to buy chickens again. This time we plan to buy three chickens and a thousand eggs."
With that, she took out four hundred-tael gold bricks from her bosom. Li Ergou was happy. This was a big business, but unfortunately the first-generation eggs had just been taken away today and were not for sale.
He thought for a moment, and took out a second-generation egg and handed it to the fox spirit and said: "Look, how is this egg?"
The fox spirit smelled the second-generation egg and was greatly surprised and said: "Good, great, how much is this one?"
Li Ergou thought for a while, these foxes are wealthy, he can't let them go, so he stretched out a finger and said: "One tael of gold per egg."
The three foxes were slightly surprised, this thing is so expensive, but they couldn't resist the temptation of the second-generation egg, and very readily bought one hundred taels of gold's worth.
The transaction was completed, and the three fox spirits returned satisfied and excited.
Li Ergou's eyes were thoughtful when he looked at the three fox spirits. He always felt that these guys were going to cause trouble in the future, but he was not afraid. If they don't know what's good for them, let them know how powerful I, Ergouzi, am.
As he was thinking, he saw Black Cat Thirteen coming to his side at some point. What surprised him slightly was that after Thirteen took a nap, its body had grown a circle. Its body used to be like a big dog, but now it was a head taller, like a giant wolf.
There was more spirituality in its eyes, and it was more humanized.
Thirteen walked up to him, stretched out its tongue and licked his palm, looking very well-behaved. Li Ergou touched its head and said: "Well, little guy, perform well. In the future, when I am not at home, you have to keep an eye on my home."
The black cat nodded repeatedly after hearing Li Ergou's words, as if telling him, certainly.
Looking at the black-bearded goat again, this guy was snoring loudly and hadn't woken up yet, but it could be seen that its body was still getting bigger. Li Ergou thought that it seemed that the power of the turtle viscera and turtle ointment was more obvious for these animals.
Without thinking much, he returned to the house and began to cultivate.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed. On this day, Li Ergou opened the door, and snowflakes were floating outside. Winter was coming.
He reminisced for a moment. In the past three months, he had eaten nearly half of a big turtle. His Divine Dao cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his Martial Dao cultivation had also reached the middle stage of Essence Refining. Martial Dao has progressed even more.
It can be seen that the Martial Dao True Qi in his Divine Palace has now become a round ball, about the size of a pigeon egg. These are all because of theTurtle Breath Technique. This technique is miraculous, and even with his poor aptitude, he is progressing quickly when practicing it.
For this reason, he really wants to thank that big turtle. It not only provides his flesh and blood, but also provides the cultivation technique. He should really offer sacrifices to it a memorial tablet. Of course, this idea only flashed in his mind.
He came to the chicken coop and picked up eggs. As the number of second-generation eggs continues to increase, Li Ergou thought about whether he should cultivate third-generation chickens to see what third-generation chickens look like.
However, the resources on Bitter Mountain are limited and cannot cultivate too many. He thought about it and decided to cultivate twenty third-generation chickens for the first time.
He is naturally quite experienced in hatching eggs. He put these eggs in a warm quilt, as long as he controls the temperature, the rest is just waiting patiently.
After finishing these, he began to cultivate again. Today, his Turtle Breath Technique has just entered the door, so he can practice the lying on the ground method, which is to refining the Xuan Turtle Armor.
Today is the first time he began to refining the first turtle shell, which is of extraordinary significance.
He held his breath and concentrated, his mind guarding the Dantian, and then began to circulate the Turtle Breath Technique. Time passed little by little, but he always ended in failure. He always felt that he was missing a little bit, and he was always just one step away from success.
Li Ergou opened his eyes and wondered what he was missing. Looking at the black cat in the distance, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "That's right, if I have this thing blessing, will it be different?"
He hurriedly moved his divine sense and took out a bead, which was the inner core of the turtle.
This thing has huge energy, and he doesn't know how to use it yet. Now it seems that it may be used to refining his cultivation technique. Wouldn't it be right to nourish turtles with turtles?
He sighed that he was getting smarter and immediately began to cultivate. He absorbed the power in the inner core, directly refining the turtle shell, feeling its terrifying power. He sighed in his heart, fortunately he didn't absorb it directly, otherwise, he would definitely be burst by the powerful power.
Under the powerful power, in Li Ergou's loosely held palm, a bright thing like a bead slowly formed, and then the bead began to transform, turning into a turtle shell the size of a fingernail, seemingly real and illusory.
The turtle shell continued to grow, exert absorbing the energy inside. Li Ergou was naturally very happy to see this. When the turtle shell became the size of a foot, he began to shape the turtle shell, and finally made it into a octagonal turtle shell, which was also his favorite shape.
It can be seen that the turtle shell is transparent in color, slightly with some light cyan light, one foot long and half a foot wide. This is the prototype of the turtle shell. In the future, continue to nourish refine, it will become bigger and thicker.
He touched it. Although it was transformed by spiritual energy, it was indestructible. He tried to use a copper coin sword to infuse divine power and suddenly attack. With a bang, sparks flew everywhere, as if he had chopped on metal, and there was not even a scratch on the turtle shell.
He was happy in his heart. With this thing, what was he afraid of? No matter what danger, he could block it. He moved his divine sense, and the turtle shell burst scattered.
However, what he didn't expect was that refining a turtle shell consumed one-third of the energy of the turtle's inner core. He didn't vague, and continued to cultivate in one go.
Ten days later, Li Ergou moved his divine sense, and three turtle shells the size of a foot were suspended in front of him. He moved his mind, and the turtle shell would move to any place within a meter range around him with his mind. This was the maximum limit for him to control the turtle shell. Perhaps in the future, as his cultivation deepens, this distance will gradually increase.
As for the turtle's inner core, the energy inside had been completely consumed by him and turned into a stone bead-like thing, which he threw away directly, but the black cat Thirteen felt it was fun and picked it up to play.
Although the divine skill was small success, he was not particularly happy in his heart, because after experiencing this turtle spirit incident, he felt that he was still too weak. Once he encountered a powerful demon, he would be slapped to death with one palm.
His cultivation progress was slow, and he could only think of more ways on external forces. At this moment, he took out the turtle shell again. There were several damaged places on the turtle shell, and there were leaking了窟窿(窟窿: holes), but fortunately it was not very big. These days, he has been thinking, this thing is solid, can it be used for his own use?
If he could refine it, wouldn't he have one more life-saving thing? Imagine, if the enemy broke through the turtle shell, he would still have the Xuan Turtle Armor, and if he broke through the spiritual energy turtle shell, he would still have a strong body. Ask the opponent's muddled不懵(懵: muddled) forced that's it.
With this thought, he revealed a trace comfortable crooked的笑容(笑容: smile).
There is a very strong turtle will on this turtle shell. He can obliterate the will on it while refining. Once the refining is completed, he can make this thing bigger or smaller. He can completely use the hardness of the turtle shell itself to resist the enemy's attack.
Before this, he still has to sew the turtle shell. He immediately took out two pairs of iron claws. This thing is bulky and not very useful to him. However, this thing is made of various alloys and is extremely hard. It can be completely melt and repair the turtle shell.
He offered out Fireball Technique, a ball red的火焰(火焰: flame) was burning in his palm, and then he smashed it on the iron claws. The flame temperature was extremely high, but the iron claws were also really hard.
He fully used the Fireball Technique to burn for a day and a night before completely melting the iron claws, and then poured the molten iron on the damaged place.
After a while, the turtle shell became intact, but the appearance looked a little ugly, as if several pieces patches were sewn on the clothes. However, Li Ergou would naturally not care about these things.
He began to refine the turtle shell, but refining the turtle shell is not a matter of overnight. Li Ergou has a lot of things to busy with, so he can only take it out to refining it when he has time.
Almost a month has passed like this, and the new year is coming soon.
On this day, darkness faded and sunlight sprinkled down, and surprise followed.
