Practice starts with skill points

The Eight Treasures Blood-Nourishing Soup sold very quickly, and the Hemostatic Powder and the Wound Medicine sold even faster.

After collecting all the silver, Zhong Lin went straight to the stall where the Ghost-Faced Man was.

He was still sitting there coldly, with several porcelain bottles in front of him, among which was the "Bone-Strengthening Pill" that Zhong Lin had been thinking about.

Just as he was about to take out the silver from his pocket, Zhong Lin suddenly asked again.

"The price hasn't increased, has it?"

"..."

"That's good, five Bone-Strengthening Pills."

"One hundred and fifty taels of silver."

Zhong Lin handed over the silver happily, but he couldn't hide his feeling that seemed to be dripping with blood.

Putting the porcelain bottle containing five Bone-Strengthening Pills into his arms, Zhong Lin stared at the Ghost-Faced Man with his eyes fixed.

"No kidding, I'm the kind of genius in alchemy. Now I just need an opportunity. You teach me to make alchemy. Once I learn it, I'll be responsible for making it and you'll be responsible for selling it. We'll split the profits 50-50, or 30-70. How about it?"

"Get lost!"

"Okay!"

Zhong Lin stood up and walked away without any hesitation, glancing at the horizontal sword beside him.

This ghost-faced man is a ruthless guy. Just a glance made Zhong Lin feel like he was falling into an ice cave, as if he had met a natural enemy.

The one who could give him such a feeling must be at least a strong man of the third rank.

"I can't afford to offend him, at least I can't afford to offend him now. I'll quickly improve my strength. When I have practiced qi and blood, I'll go directly to the county city. With the help of the system, I don't believe that I can't learn alchemy. Then I can achieve the freedom of alchemy."

Touching the porcelain bottle in his arms, the heartache came again.

Zhong Lin didn't leave directly, but walked around the black market. When he came out, he was holding a big rooster and a bag of eggs.

The county town limits the amount and price of grain purchases. Although Zhong Lin bought a large amount of grain in advance, meat cannot be stored for a long time. Now that he has encountered it, of course he has to offer it to his stomach.

"You can save the eggs for Xiao Shitou to eat one every morning. Stew half of this chicken and make spicy chicken with the other half."

Zhong Lin was thinking about how to eat when he got home with a smile on his face. Suddenly, a tall figure blocked his way. It was Yun Ye, the guardian of the entrance to the black market.

Zhong Lin did not dare to neglect it and bowed his hands and said, "Meet Master Yun, who are you?"

"Master Zhong, the young master invites you. Come with me!"

Zhong Lin's pupils shrank. Yun Ye actually called out his name directly. Although he knew that it would not be difficult for a businessman to investigate him, after all, the Eight Treasures Blood-Replenishing Soup of Xu's Medical Clinic was still somewhat famous in Heishan County, he did not expect his identity to be exposed so quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Lin suppressed the shock in his heart and said respectfully, "Master Yun, the young master you are talking about is..."

"Second Young Master Du."

It's him!

There are two big families in Heishan County, one with the surname Du and the other with the surname Zhang. Coincidentally, the county lieutenant of Heishan County is surnamed Du, and the other chief clerk in power is surnamed Zhang.

The second son of the Du family is the second son of the Du family, but I don’t know why he is looking for me?

“The second son invites me, Zhong Lin dare not neglect it, please.”

Yun Ye nodded and walked in front, Zhong Lin followed closely behind with a big rooster and eggs, looking very funny.

As the two left, the crowd in the black market was also talking.

"Who is that person? Is he worth being invited by Master Yun?"

"I don't know, but the one who can be invited by Master Yun must not be an ordinary person."

"Nonsense, Master Yun is from the Du family, and he is also a seventh-grade bone-forging realm expert. The one who can be invited by Master Yun is certainly not an ordinary person."

"A bunch of idiots, didn't recognize that it was the one who sold medicine last time."

"Hiss! It turned out to be him, he's not dead?"

Some people recognized Zhong Lin's identity and were horrified at the same time. They remembered the two waves of people who killed Zhong Lin last month.

"He's not dead, Shouhou, and Dong Yan and the others are gone, tut tut, another ruthless person!"

"Hey! Do you think the medicine he sells is favored by which son of the Du family?"

"Don't say it, you really don't say it."

"Hush! Be careful of your mouth, this matter has nothing to do with us little people."

Zhong Lin followed Yun Ye out of the black market, and walked several miles around and came to a secluded courtyard.

The decoration of this courtyard is not gorgeous, but the arrangement is scattered and orderly, which can be seen to be particularly attentive. There is a stream running through the center of the courtyard, but the weather has been dry recently, and the stream has been cut off from the upper reaches.

"Excuse me, Master Yun, I wonder if the second young master has anything to ask me?" Zhong Lin asked in a low voice.

No mistakes, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"You will know when you go there."

Yun Ye looked at Zhong Lin strangely, but did not say much.

After entering the courtyard, Yun Ye stopped talking, and Zhong Lin also kept quiet. After passing through a bamboo forest, they now arrived at the hall.

Before approaching Zhong Lin, he smelled a strong aroma of wine and meat, as well as the sound of women playing and playing in the room and stringed instruments.

There were two maids standing at the door, bowing and seeing that it was Yun Ye, they slightly bowed and opened the door.

Inside the room, two rows of twelve smokeless candles lit up a bright light. On the wooden floor, seven women in gauze danced to the sound of stringed instruments.

Behind the table in the center of the hall, a twenty-year-old man with a handsome face, a full forehead, wearing brocade clothes, a jade pendant on his waist, and golden tassels was drinking and enjoying the singing and dancing.

There were two maids serving on each side of the man, wearing only a pink bellyband on the upper body, white underwear on the lower body, and black hair shawls. They had good looks and outstanding appearance, not inferior to the courtesan of Nuanxianglou.

"I guess this is Du Chong, the second son of the Du family."

Although Zhong Lin had never seen the third son of the Du family, he had heard of his name and was said to be very beautiful.

"Sir, Zhong Lin brought it." Yun Ye said in a low voice.

Zhong Lin also hurried forward and bowed deeply: "Meet the second son."

Du Chong waved his hand, and the singing and dancing in the hall stopped instantly, and the stringed instruments on both sides also stopped moving.

"You are Zhong Lin? I didn't expect a painter to have such strength that he could kill Dong Yan."

Zhong Lin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I don't deserve the praise from the second young master. Killing Dong Yan was just for self-protection, and I also took advantage of the sneak attack."

Zhong Lin first pointed out that the purpose of his killing was to protect himself. After all, he didn't know whether this second young master Du had any relationship with Dong Yan.

Then he said that he took advantage of the sneak attack to kill people and first reduced his threat.

In front of the strong who can dominate your own destiny, the first thing to do is to be cautious and know the word "reverence".

You can say that Zhong Lin is cowardly, but sometimes only by being a little cowardly can you live long. Those who are not cowardly, unless they are the protagonists, the grass on their graves is probably three feet high.

Du Chong showed an arc at the corner of his mouth. It is obvious that he also saw Zhong Lin's little thoughts, but he also likes to see others being cautious in front of him, because this can set off his superiority.

Just like a god, he can control the fate of others with just a wave of his hand.

"You...are very good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Second Young Master."
