Five minutes later.
Under Qiao Yuanshan's almost stagnant gaze, Li Pin easily defeated fourteen skeleton monsters.
The battle lasted a total of half a minute, and it took one minute to rush at the fourteen skeleton monsters.
With three and a half minutes left, he searched for the spoils left behind after the skeleton monster "immolated itself".
I have to say, he was lucky.
I actually found a star crystal inside.
It’s still a genuine star crystal.
"Star crystals are a universal hard currency. Do you have a way to sell them?"
Li Pin came to Qiao Yuanshan.
And Qiao Yuanshan...
Until this moment, there was still no reaction.
When he heard Li Yin's question, he not only did not answer immediately, but he could not help but asked in a lost voice: "Li Wusheng... You... You are a high-level star refiner?"
"no."
Li Yin replied, "The difference between a Star Refiner and a Warrior is very obvious. Ordinary people can't sense it clearly, but as a Martial Saint, can't you sense it?"
He said, "I am just a special warrior who has gone a little further on the road to becoming a martial saint and has a little talent."
A gifted person!
Massacre of tens of thousands of people!
Ohkai River!
Tyrone!
Wang Liancheng!
These names immediately came to Qiao Yuanshan’s mind.
Although Dayue Land has almost lost contact with the outside world, as a top master under the lord of Xiangye City, Qiao Yuanshan is not completely ignorant of news from the outside world.
Although they were extremely slow in acquiring news, he still heard about this battle of the century that was spreading like wildfire and to every corner of the world.
He is also familiar with the term "gifted person" for peerless martial arts saints.
only…
Is the peerless martial saint really that powerful
Perhaps they fought desperately and indeed killed a medium-level monster comparable to a formal star refiner, but no matter what, they could not do it as easily as Li Wusheng in front of them, right
Or maybe…
Has the martial arts in the land of Otsuki fallen behind the times
but…
Li Yin obviously didn't intend to explain further, and he didn't dare to ask too much.
Such a powerful martial saint who is so terrifying that he can rival high-level star refiners...
It already has the power to overturn the entire Fragrance Leaf Territory.
Li Yin took a look at the miserable state of Ginkgo Village...
Having already tested the strength of the skeleton monster, he no longer had any intention of going deeper into the ancient orc battlefield.
"Let's go back together."
Li Pin said.
"yes."
Qiao Yuanshan quickly agreed.
At this moment, he seemed to have just remembered what Li Yin had asked him, and quickly replied: "Li Wusheng, Da Shang and Empire have special purchasing stations in several large cities in Molong Country. We can exchange some precious materials with them for what we need. Star crystals are the type with the highest exchange value!"
He glanced at the item in Li Yin's hand: "A genuine star crystal, worth three million imperial gold yuan or six million great business coins."
"Three million, six million..."
Li Yin frowned when he heard the offer.
The exchange rate between Da Shang currency and Tian Yuan currency is comparable, while the exchange rate between Imperial Gold Yuan and Da Shang is close to 1:2. However, no matter which currency, their purchase price is still much lower than the market price.
After a moment, Li Pin did not waste any more energy.
They are all external things.
With his current ability, it is not difficult for him to earn some money.
"Sell them for me, and then buy some supplies. I'll give you a list when the time comes."
Li Pin threw the star crystal.
“Shall I sell it?”
Qiao Yuanshan quickly took the star crystal and said, "This... This is a genuine star crystal worth three million imperial gold dollars!"
In this land, three million imperial gold dollars are enough to buy the life of a martial saint!
"Go ahead."
Li Pin did not explain much.
I plan to practice in Dayue for a while, but it is not appropriate to stay in Wen Yusheng's manor and eat and drink for free.
Soon, the vehicle returned.
Another four hours of bumpy ride.
However, when entering Xiangye City, Li Bin stopped the vehicle in front of a mud brick house.
Seeing someone coming, or someone riding in a car, two children, a boy and a girl, who were playing in front of the house, ran into the room.
After a while, a fully clothed man came out.
However, when they saw Qiao Yuanshan who was traveling with Li Yin, they hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Yuanshan glanced at him but had no impression of him.
The man quickly explained: "Eight years ago, I attended your martial arts class at the Xiangye Conference Hall."
Qiao Yuanshan nodded.
When they first arrived in Xiangye Territory, they did intend to promote martial arts so that the people of Xiangye Territory could be self-reliant and strong, and avoid being powerless when faced with danger, so they specially taught martial arts publicly in Xiangye City.
But later they realized that the first thing Xiangyeling had to solve was the problem of food and clothing for everyone. If they didn't have enough food to eat and insufficient nutrition, forcing themselves to practice martial arts would only ruin their bodies.
Therefore, the martial arts teaching that had lasted for three months was forced to stop.
Unfortunately, the problem of food and clothing...
The high taxes levied from above meant that the lord had been trying for nine years but was unable to completely resolve the issue.
Especially five years ago and two years ago, when tax officials saw that the mental outlook of the people of Xiangye City had improved significantly, they increased the tax amount again.
"Yesterday, I took a set of clothes from your house for a special reason."
Li Yin said, and took out a stack of gold from his pocket: "This is compensation for you."
When the man saw the stack of gold coins that Li Bin took out, his eyes suddenly lit up.
However, his gaze lingered on Li Yin and Qiao Yuanshan for a moment, and he quickly made a decision in his heart, and quickly bent down: "It is an honor for Meng Ren to have that set of clothes chosen by you, sir."
Qiao Yuanshan, who was standing by, saw this and said in a deep voice, "Just take it when I tell you to."
"Teacher Qiao, calm down."
Meng Ren bent his waist very low: "I would like to ask you to accept my son Meng Yang as your servant, and let him follow you and serve you from now on..."
“Bold!”
Before Meng Ren could finish his words, Qiao Yuanshan shouted at him.
He said to Li Yin, "Don't pay attention to what these people say, otherwise, they will take advantage of you if they get the chance."
After that, he turned to Meng Ren and said, "Don't even mention the small matter of just lending you clothes. Even if it's a big matter, if you dare to ask for repayment, you are unworthy of being a citizen of Xiangye Territory. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will expel you directly!"
Meng Ren knelt down in fear, and at the same time, he pulled open his sleeves in fear, revealing...
There was a black wound, and black air had penetrated into the body along the wound.
Seeing the wound, Qiao Yuanshan's expression suddenly changed: "Dead energy? Were you injured by a zombie?"
Then he added: "No, you don't look like a warrior at all. If you encounter a zombie, how can you survive?"
"I was scratched by a piece of ore stained with corpse blood while searching for ore..."
There was sorrow in Meng Ren's eyes, but more of it was despair.
"Searching for ore..."
After hearing this, Qiao Yuanshan fell silent.
The Black Gold Mine is the largest mining area left over from the Dayue period, with extensive connections inside.
During the turbulent period of that year, many Dayue soldiers retreated to the mining area under the pursuit of the Star Refiners. Countless numbers of soldiers and miners died.
However, due to the suddenness of the Star Refiners' attack, many of the mineral deposits in the mining area had no time to be moved out, so that people from Xiangye Territory and several surrounding territories often went deep into the area, trying to search for ancient copper mines, hematite ore, black iron ore, mithril mines, and refined gold mines in the hope of making a fortune.
Although as time went by, the soldiers and miners who died there, as well as the people who later went deep into the mine to snatch the ownerless ore, were eroded by the star power and transformed into zombies and demons, and that mining area became the most dangerous place posing the greatest threat to several surrounding territories, there are still countless people who risk their lives to search for ore and even dig for minerals.
Not to mention the other territories, hundreds of people die in Xiangye Territory alone every year.
but…
A piece of black iron ore of qualified purity can be sold for thousands of imperial gold dollars. For this high profit, it is worth it for countless people to risk their lives.
"If you have death on your body, you will definitely die. Meng Yang's mother died of illness three years ago, and my grandparents also died in the turmoil nine years ago. If I die, they... won't be able to survive..."
Meng Ren kowtowed and said, "Please, sir, take them in..."
"Okay, the Lord will not abandon any of his subjects. I will apply for the minimum living allowance for you..."
Qiao Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
"You let your son serve me as a servant, what about your daughter?"
Li Pin said.
He just saw two children in the yard.
The boy was about ten years old and the girl was five or six years old.
Facing Li Bin's question, Meng Ren opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he trembled, lowered his head, and didn't even dare to look inside the house.
"Is it possible to cure the death aura?"
Li Pin glanced at Qiao Yuanshan.
"It's just a wound, and cutting off the hand should save his life... But the death energy has penetrated deep into his body..."
Qiao Yuanshan shook his head and said, "It is said that... only the top star refiners can remove the dead energy..."
The top star refiner!
In the land of Dayue, only the most powerful warlords have top-level Star Refiners, and most warlords are only at the high-level Star Refiners level.
A small lord like Xiangye Lord within the warlord's sphere of influence does not even have a Star Refiner, and his strongest military force is probably only two or three Martial Saints.
Of course, since the number of Dayue Star Refiners is extremely scarce, six hundred guns are more deterrent than two or three Martial Saints.
Qiao Yuanshan said with a sigh: "Now that I know about this matter, I can't just ignore it. I will inform the lord and the relief department will raise them both."
"Thank you, Teacher Qiao, thank you, Teacher Qiao..."
Meng Ren kowtowed repeatedly and cried with joy.
"How dare you, a warrior, go to the black gold mining area? If you don't die, who will? And you caused two children to become orphans!"
Qiao Yuanshan said with great regret.
"Meng Yang... he is very talented... I... I really don't want him to be like me... with no future in this life..."
Meng Ren said with a trembling voice.
After hearing this, Qiao Yuanshan could only sigh.
In the final analysis, Xiangyeling is too poor.
This martial saint seemed to have seen too many things like this, and without saying anything else, he called Li Pin and got into the car.
The group returned safely to Lord Wen Yusheng's manor.
