People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 8 Another Year

After flipping through the auction house's inventory booklet, Chen Xiao found many things that he was currently lacking.

For example, healing medicine just in case.

Even if it is a first-grade recovery pill, the starting price of a bottle is 1,500 gold coins.

A pill that restores fighting spirit.

The same first-grade rejuvenation pill has a starting price of 1,800 per bottle.

A pill that increases the speed of cultivation.

Even the most basic amplification pill is of the second grade, and the price is as high as two thousand.

The starting price for a low-level storage ring is 50,000, and you have to pay at least double the price if you want to win it.

After calculating everything, it would cost more than 100,000 gold coins to arm yourself slightly.

When he thought of this, Chen Xiao felt a headache.

Lack of money, lack of a lot of money!
Originally, he was planning to use his free time to earn some extra money and then buy medicine to assist in his practice.

But now it seems that he thought too simply.

In Wutan City, there are not many ways for an ordinary fighter to make extra money. The only way is to help guard the major families when they are transporting goods. Not only is the work time-consuming, but the rewards are also pitifully low.

It is for this reason that most of the independent cultivators and fighters pretend to be mercenaries and go to the Warcraft Mountains from time to time. Although it is a bit dangerous, if they are lucky, they can make a living for three years.

"Brother Chen Xiao, do you have anyone you like?"

Seeing Chen Xiao finish flipping through the book, Xun'er asked softly.

We had been in the venue for almost an hour, and people kept coming in, making it inconvenient to talk.

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly, put the list booklet back in its place, stood up and motioned Xun'er to go out and talk.

Xun'er chuckled and nodded, then stood up and followed without any reluctance.

These so-called auction items were not worth her even a second look. Today she just followed Chen Xiao out to relax.

Under the guards' puzzled gaze, the two men walked out of the auction house. Chen Xiao then went into a shop and bought a loose black robe as a backup.

"Xun'er, what kind of strength do you think is needed to be able to move freely around the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountain Range?" Walking side by side on the street, Chen Xiao casually found a topic.

The Warcraft Mountains are very close to Wutan City.

The outline of the mountain range can be seen from the back mountain of the Xiao family.

After reading the auction list, Chen Xiao realized a problem. It was basically impossible to earn enough resources to maintain daily practice through conventional channels.

So, we have to think of other ideas!

Coincidentally, Chen Xiao knew that there was such a cave in the Warcraft Mountains, which could make him rich instantly, and the wealth in it was more than enough to sustain his early training.

However, relying on his memory, Chen Xiao only knew the general information about the cave, and it would still take a little time to find it.

"Brother Chen Xiao, do you want to go to the Monster Mountain Range for training? Xun'er thinks it's still a little early. There are also many mercenaries in Wutan City who frequently go to the Monster Mountain Range. Fighter-level mercenaries almost always return with scars. It is said that they don't act alone and always work in teams. But even so, there are still casualties. So, the Fighter Master level might be the safest."

Xun'er analyzed the situation in a very serious manner, and the conclusion she came to was similar to what Chen Xiao had expected.

Helplessly suppressing their restlessness and giving up the idea of ​​continuing to wander around, the two of them went straight back to the Xiao family and parted ways for the time being.

Watching Chen Xiao walk towards the side courtyard, a hint of doubt flashed across Xun'er's eyes.

"Master Ling, has Brother Chen Xiao already practiced the technique to transform his fighting spirit?"

Xun'er's voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself.

But she believed that the people in the dark could definitely hear it.

Sure enough, a voice soon reached his ears.

"Miss, your guess is correct. Moreover, this old servant can feel that the martial arts he practices is of a fairly high grade, even slightly higher than the Crazy Lion's Raging Force of the Xiao family." Xun'er was stunned when she heard this.

The Xiao family's Crazy Lion Nu Gang is very famous in Wutan City and is ranked at the middle level of Xuan level.

Since Chen Xiao's skills are even better, the answer is obvious.

Xuan-level advanced skills!

Ling Ying and Xiao Xun'er thought they knew Chen Xiao inside and out, but they couldn't figure out where he got this martial arts skill from.

...

Suffering forces people to grow, and desire gives people motivation.

The trip to the Miter Auction House made Chen Xiao even more interested in cultivation, and he even used cultivation to replace his sleeping time.

Although sleep is not necessary for practitioners, staying awake for long periods of time is still a mental burden.

However, Chen Xiao maintained this state for a whole year.

The mountain behind the Xiao family.

Except for some Xiao family members who occasionally come to the pool to take a bath, most of the time, it is quiet and deserted.

Xiao Yan, who had not yet fallen from a height, also seldom came here often.

This has made it easier for Chen Xiao to practice daily. Up to now, he has become an eight-star fighter, and even the Swallow Return has been practiced to the intermediate level, which can rebound 30% of the enemy's attack force!
However, no one in the Xiao family, except Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, knew about such a huge change.

It may sound incredible, but it is the truth.

The reason is probably because Chen Xiao’s social skills are too simple.

Even the guards who often met Chen Xiao only thought that he was more energetic, and had no idea that this child who they had watched grow up had already walked ahead of them without them noticing.

After practicing the Yan Fan strike again, which he had already known to his bones, Chen Xiao retracted his fist and stood up.

"Eight-star fighter, my Swallow Return Strike has also reached the intermediate level. Now I should be able to protect myself against a one-star fighter!"

Brackets, only in theory.

After all, he had zero practical experience.

Chen Xiao glanced at the outline of the Monster Mountain Range in the moonlight, and made up his mind. Then, he left without looking back.

Coming back from the back mountain, passing by Xiao Xun'er's courtyard, Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still went to say goodbye to Xiao Xun'er.

"Brother Chen Xiao, are you planning to go to the Warcraft Mountains?"

Before Chen Xiao even opened his mouth, Xun'er had already guessed what he wanted from his expression.

In the entire Xiao family, she is the only one who knows Chen Xiao’s plan.

"Blindly practicing asceticism is not advisable. Go and gain some simple experience to avoid becoming a pathetic stepping stone in future battles. However, it shouldn't last long."

The girl nodded slightly, "Then Xun'er wishes Brother Chen Xiao a fruitful return."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

The Warcraft Mountains are not far away. If everything goes well, I can be back in ten days or so. There is no need to make it like a life-and-death separation.

After leaving Xun'er, Chen Xiao went to find the elder who usually assigned him tasks and told him that he would be away for a few days.

After everything was arranged, Chen Xiao returned to his residence and took out the few hundred gold coins left under the bed.

In the past year, he had spent more than two thousand gold coins to buy an amplification pill to assist in his training, as well as a map.

After simply packing his bag and washing up, Chen Xiao did not continue his high-intensity training.

Tonight, recharge your energy!
