"Brother Wang intends to join the sect?"

While Wang Hong was concentrating on his thoughts, Xue Ning had already walked to sit opposite him, smiling and asking him in a low voice.

Wang Hong didn't mean to hide it, nodded and said:

"Although you are free if you don't join a sect, when you encounter difficulties in cultivation, no one can give you guidance."

Xue Ning thought for a while and suddenly asked: "That day in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, Brother Wang's weapons and armor, food and drink were all of extraordinary quality. I guess he must have quite a lot of money?"

Wang Hong, who was drinking, almost choked. How could he directly ask someone if their wallet was full?

Not to mention that they had just met each other not long ago, even if they were brothers, it would not be appropriate to ask more questions.

Wang Hong put down his wine glass, smiled and said, "It's not bad. Why does Miss Xue ask this?"

Xue Ning also quickly realized something was wrong, stuck out his tongue and said with a smile:

"Brother Wang, don't get me wrong. I think Brother Wang is quite young. Even if most sects can get in, they can only hang out outside. That's really not that interesting."

"Only one of the forces is special. Maybe Brother Wang can consider it."

At this time, the two of them were sitting in the corner, and there were no other guests around. Wang Hong asked:

"Miss Xue, can you tell me more carefully?"

As far as he knew, it was very difficult for the outer sects of various sects to enter the inner sect. Unless they made great achievements or their personal strength reached the level of the elders within the sect, it would be difficult to change their identity.

Xue Ning nodded and said: "The largest sect in Yunzhou is naturally the Sanquan Sect, but there is another force that is not under the Sanquan Sect, but their manpower is scattered throughout the Tiannan Kingdom, and they are mostly indifferent to the internal affairs of Yunzhou.

Because of this, his reputation is not well-known in Yunzhou."

Wang Hong asked in surprise: "Oh, is there such a force?"

According to Xue Ning, the headquarters of this force should be in Yunzhou.

But the other party doesn't manage the nest well, and instead disperses its people outside. Is it possible that it is a chamber of commerce organization?

"This force is called Blood Shadow Hall, and it is one of the top assassin organizations in the Tiannan Kingdom."

"But because almost all the assassins in the hall are locals from Yunzhou, they don't accept assassination missions from Yunzhou."

"So most of the ordinary warriors in Yunzhou have never heard of Blood Shadow Hall." Xue Ning explained patiently.

After hearing what the other party said, Wang Hong was quite confused and asked: "Did Miss Xue want me to join the Blood Shadow Hall?"

Most assassin organizations have a bad reputation, and Wang Hong naturally doesn't want to fall into such a trap.

Xue Ning replied softly: "Although Blood Shadow Hall is an assassin organization, its reputation is quite good."

"As long as you give them enough money, even if they are helpless women and children, they will get things done as agreed."

"At the same time, Blood Shadow Hall also accepts other tasks, such as protection, finding objects, intelligence, etc. Even the identity of the disciples in the hall is clearly marked with a price."

"It doesn't matter if you are not strong enough. As long as you give enough money, you can learn various techniques in the hall and get guidance from many elite assassins..."

Wang Hong was a little confused when he heard Xue Ning continuously introduce the Blood Shadow Hall.

Is the leader of the Blood Shadow Hall crazy about money? Are you really not afraid that your enemies will come to you and destroy the Blood Shadow Hall from the inside if you are so messy?

"The Blood Shadow Hall accumulated wealth in this way, and was not besieged and divided by all parties?"

Xue Ning shook his head and said: "Xue Yiren, the master of the Blood Shadow Hall, is one of the ten great masters in the south of the world. He is also a famous lunatic. He practices self-inflicted explosive skills. No one wants to provoke him."

Wang Hong thought for a while and felt that it was a bit strange for Xue Ning to warmly recommend such an organization. He had some guesses in his heart, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't say it out loud, and finally said to her with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Xue, for your advice. I still need to think about the sect for a while. I have recently been practicing Iron Clothes Shirt. I have some questions that I would like to ask. Is it convenient?"

Xue Ning was not surprised when he heard this, but said without hesitation:

"Although Iron Clothes Shirt is a common martial art in the world, it is really good when used for physical training. If Brother Wang has something you don't understand, we can discuss it."

…

After Xue Ning's guidance, Wang Hong realized that the medicated bath formula in the secret book, even the best one, was still generic.

This kind of medicinal bath is very effective in the early stage, but after a long time, serious drug resistance will develop.

It is for this reason that it is very difficult for ordinary people in the world to achieve success by using iron cloth shirts to exercise.

Some aristocratic sects that follow the hard kung fu route, and some young people will choose to exercise in iron cloth shirts.

But in addition to using the best set in the secret book, these people also use unique medicated bath formulas in rotation.

Master Xue Ning has several sets of iron cloth shirt medicated bath formulas, but because her body training method is not iron cloth shirt, most of the formulas have not been paid attention to.

But Xue Ning looked through the most expensive set out of curiosity and wrote it down.

Perhaps out of repayment of gratitude, Xue Ning gave the formula to Wang Hong. Although he repeatedly asked not to leak it, he was very grateful.

Back at the inn, Wang Hong took a closer look at the medicated bath formula and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

No wonder Xue Ning said that using this set of formulas, as long as the cultivator has decent talent and practices on time every day, he can almost complete the Iron Cloth Shirt within a year.

A few people with outstanding talents can even complete body training within a month or two with this medicinal bath formula.

Then the true energy is born from the outside in, omitting the process of making the false come true and condensing the true energy, and steps into the acquired stage!

However, such a heaven-defying effect comes at a very high price. The elixir required for a medicinal bath is actually worth nearly a thousand taels of silver!

Even if it is reduced to once every ten days, more than 30,000 taels of silver a year can put a family clan at the county level into financial difficulties.

"Money is like a bastard, spend it and then earn it!"

Wang Hong cursed secretly, then got up and walked to the drugstore in Ping'an Town. He had enough banknotes left on him to buy a pair first to try the effect.

Ping Yiluo, the owner of the drugstore, is the best doctor in Menglin County.

Because Pingan Town is close to the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, not only can it receive a large amount of medicinal materials, but there are also many injured people returning from the forest, so this slightly chaotic town has become a good place for doctors to treat diseases and save people while making money.

Therefore, Ping Yiluo gave up the comfortable Menglin County and came to Ping'an Town to open a pharmacy.

"If you want these medicinal materials, are you preparing to exercise? Show me the formula. Don't let me have a big problem by then. It won't be three to five years before you want to be cured!"

When Dr. Ping listened to Wang Hong's report of the names of several medicinal materials, a light suddenly flashed in his big mung bean eyes, and a hint of concern appeared on his usually rigid and indifferent face.

However, Wang Hong is not a fool. Since he promised Xue Ning not to leak the formula, at least in this world, he will never tell anyone else.

Besides, he and Xue Ning had no conflict of interest. Even if the other party had no intention of repaying his kindness, he would not be harmed if he thought about it.

Therefore, Wang Hong didn't believe a word of Ping Yiluo's words.

The formula requires a total of twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials. On the way to the drugstore, Wang Hong had already bought more than thirty kinds of them separately, just to prevent anyone from secretly piecing them together.

Wang Hong did not dare to buy the two most expensive elixirs at those medicine stalls.

Not to mention that the people in those places are too ignorant and the quality is difficult to guarantee, so there is no need to take risks just for the sake of gain.

As for Pingyiluo's pharmacies, although the prices are higher than outside, the transactions are relatively hidden.

Besides, the reputation that the other party has accumulated over more than ten years is not worth losing for a few hundred taels of silver.

But Wang Hong didn't expect that Ping Yiluo would be interested in his medicinal bath formula, and he immediately said with a smile:

"Dr. Ping misunderstood. I was buying medicine for someone else. How could I know the formula?"

Ping Yiluo has been in the world for so many years. How could a young man like Wang Hong, who was just starting out, possibly deceive him?

Taking hundreds of taels of silver to buy medicine for someone? Who are you trying to fool?

However, Ping Yiluo also saw Wang Hong's attitude, so he didn't ask for it from him again.

Without saying a word, he took out two elixirs from the medicine cabinet, and after paying for them, Wang Hong was kicked out of the pharmacy.

In order to prevent Ping Yiluo from cheating him, Wang Hong went to the grain store owner again and asked him to help him identify it. After confirming that the elixir was okay, he returned to the inn.

"It's just me who's worried too much. Although Ping Yiluo's name is very similar to that of a famous murderer, he's not him after all, so he shouldn't be so petty."

While packing up the things he just bought, Wang Hong thought to himself. After a moment, he shook his head and smiled, feeling that he had been a little too sensitive and suspicious recently.

It was still more than half an hour before the cooldown ended. Out of boredom, Wang Hong took out a few books he had just bought on the way and looked through them carefully.

These books are not martial arts secrets, but general introductions to famous figures, customs and customs from all over the world.

Although the price of the book is not cheap, for a stowaway like him, this money really has to be spent.

Besides, Wang Hong can't stay in a small place like Ping'an Town forever. The next step, whether it's going to the Blood Shadow Hall or other plans, requires enough information.

Wang Hong read these books very carefully, and the introductions in the books were quite interesting. Half an hour passed before he knew it.

Wang Hong was not in a hurry to return to Earth Star immediately, but was ready to finish reading the book in his hand before leaving.

Just when he was watching with great interest, he suddenly felt that his brain was groggy and sleepiness was rising. He especially wanted to fall on the bed next to him and sleep in the dark.

"Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden?" Wang Hong raised his hand and knocked on his head, muttering to himself.

Just when he was getting more and more sleepy, he was suddenly blown by a gust of cool wind to the back of his head. The thick sleepiness immediately dissipated a little, and his head became more awake.

I turned around and saw that the window in the corner of the room had been pushed open slightly from the outside at some point.

And the cool breeze just flowed in from that finger-wide gap.

Although I didn't see anything unusual at the window, an ominous premonition came to my mind.

Wang Hong, who was getting sleepier and sleepier, gathered his energy, picked up the medicinal materials and books at hand, quickly used the cooled portal, and disappeared into the guest room in an instant.

Wang Hong, who returned to Earth Star, could no longer control his sleepiness, fell down in an uninhabited corner of the suburbs, and fell asleep.

This sleep lasted from around three o'clock in the middle of the night on Dixing until five o'clock in the afternoon, when Wang Hong got up from the grass in a daze.

Because he left in such a hurry, he was still wearing ancient clothes at this time.

However, after lying on the ground for more than ten hours, his black clothes and pants were already dirty and messy, and he looked quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, the location he chose when traveling was quite remote and no one had passed by for such a long time. Otherwise, he didn't know how much trouble he would have caused.

After waiting for a while, Wang Hong walked towards the main road. Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by, he stopped a passing taxi, reported the location of the hotel, and sat in the back seat with his eyes closed to relax.

It was only then that he finally managed to sort out what he had experienced.

Being plotted against!
