Chapter 150 Inquiry

"Master Su, the grouper you ordered earlier, we only have three catties left in the restaurant. What do you think—"

Inside the private room, a young man dressed in the uniform of Jin Yu Ge carefully placed a plate of processed venison from the food cart onto the table before bowing respectfully to Su Hao.

Su Hao is now a regular customer of Jin Yu Ge, and he has also ordered four catties of fire-spotted venison every three days. Now that the amount is less, they naturally have to ask for permission from the other party.

"If Master Su can be accommodating, we can substitute other ingredients. The supply of blood wolf meat is still quite sufficient, I wonder—"

Seeing that Su Hao remained silent, the young man quickly added.

"Never mind, just make it up to me next time."

Su Hao waved his hand, not dwelling on the matter any further.

Flaming venison is a rare ingredient, and it's common for Jin Yu Ge to have trouble supplying it sometimes.

Moreover, the medicinal properties of the wolf meat conflict with the effects of the Eight Treasures Soup, so eating it would be counterproductive.

"Yes—then I'll take my leave. Please enjoy your meal, Master Su—"

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and then respectfully withdrew.

Su Hao nodded slightly, and then began to use his chopsticks.

Before they had even taken a few bites, there was another knock on the door of the private room.

"Come in."

Su Hao put down his chopsticks and looked towards the doorway.

The door opened, and a woman dressed in the uniform of Jin Yu Ge walked out, pushing a food cart with many dishes on it.

Su Hao nodded slightly, watching the woman arrange the dishes one by one, and finally watched her leave.

Only after the door to the private room was completely closed did he take out a piece of paper stuck to the bottom of one of the braised pork dishes.

As Su Hao opened the note, his gaze fell upon its contents, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"It seems that Liu Jun is indeed still a troublemaker—"

Su Hao crumpled the note in his hand without expression and threw it into an oil lamp on the table, watching it turn to ashes.

As the lights flickered, they reflected a somewhat uncertain expression on Su Hao's face.

Now that he is gradually getting acquainted with the environment of the inner city, he naturally develops some of his own informants in these places.

One of them was a maid from Jin Yu Ge.

When he first saw Mu Bai and Wang Yan, he sensed something unusual about their gathering here tonight.

Therefore, they arranged for the maid to hide in another corner of the private room to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Just as he expected, Mu Bai and Wang Yan were indeed suspicious.

"However, since Tang Huang has been expelled from the sect, Liu Jun should not bother with him anymore—"

As Su Hao ate, he also pondered the things he had learned that evening.

Although it's unclear why Mu Bai and Wang Yan are planning to harm their former senior sister Liu Jun, since these people already have this plan, it seems the only way to find out is to let Liu Jun know.

However, with Master Liu's whereabouts currently unknown, finding a clue is a difficult problem.

With a sigh, Su Hao could only put the matter aside for the time being.

three days later.

The sky was dark and snow was falling heavily.

Snowflakes drifted into the courtyard, piling up a thick layer on the ground. The weather was freezing, as if the entire world had been encased in ice.

Generally speaking.

In the courtyard, Su Hao, wearing only a gray shirt, stood there, unafraid of the bitter cold. His figure constantly changed various fist techniques in the wind and snow, and the bursts of power he occasionally unleashed shattered the snowflakes in the air, as if they were being swept away by a hurricane.

boom!

A heavy fist slammed into a black iron stake in the snow, causing the strong wind to whip up a layer of snow waves.

Su Hao withdrew his fist, and white mist rose from his body, formed by the evaporation of sweat due to his body heat.

At this moment, a new blood vortex mark slowly emerged on his chest, along with his surging blood energy, and finally took shape!

"Phew—this is the fourth blood vortex already. It seems that my progress has accelerated by at least 30% since my aptitude was improved this time!"

I have felt real progress and changes in my cultivation.

Su Hao nodded in satisfaction.

With the addition of abundant resources and improved qualifications, his speed has increased dramatically in recent years.

According to Su Hao's estimate, Yue Shan Quan should be able to break through the Bone Forging Realm again in a little over a month!

This cultivation speed is already extremely astonishing!

It's important to know that it takes a long time to accumulate qi and blood between the second and third blood levels!

Just like Zhou Zhengtang, who was the second person in the entire Yueshan Fist to break through the third blood realm, but before breaking through the third blood realm, he stayed at the second blood realm for more than a year.

While Zhou Zhengtang's lack of diligent cultivation was one reason for this, it also demonstrates the immense difficulty of reaching this level, which cannot be achieved simply by accumulating resources.

One's own innate talent and comprehension are equally important!

Otherwise, people from well-off families like Jiang Yan and Mu Bai would have already completed the accumulation of Blood Spiral, instead of remaining at the second level for a whole year.

Now, only a few months after Su Haoyue broke through to the second level of the Mountain Fist, he has already condensed four Qi cyclones.

It is evident that his talent has gradually begun to surpass that of Zhou Zhengtang, Liu Jun, and others.

Although the difficulty of condensing cyclones increases as you progress.

But Su Hao was confident, and since he was not short of resources or money, a breakthrough was only a matter of time.

I glanced up at the sky; the thick clouds piled up like ink, seemingly never to dissipate.

Su Hao returned to the house, put on his clothes, and then stepped out to go to Blackwater Street.

In the past few days, he has been trying to find out information about the rice gang.

I learned that the conflict between the Rice Gang and the Axe Gang has gradually subsided in the past few days.

He would also visit the blacksmith's shop from time to time to check on things.

After all, according to the previous agreement, Yang Lu, the leader of the Mi Gang, had already paid him the fee. Since he had taken the money, he naturally had to take responsibility for doing the job.

Anyway, during this period, he did nothing but cultivate, and didn't have to worry about money. It wouldn't hurt to visit him occasionally.

As for whether the Rice Gang would come looking for him again, Su Hao didn't care too much.

Furthermore, he has already decided that once the rice deal is completed, the cooperation will be terminated.

After all, the situation in the city is unstable right now, with constant fighting and friction between these major forces. Zhou doesn't know if he might be targeted by rival gangs since he's helping the Mi Gang.

Su Hao was just an ordinary martial arts academy disciple and had no desire to get involved in the power struggles between these families.

Walking on the street covered with a thin layer of snow, Su Hao watched as thinly dressed, pale-faced people on both sides used wooden shovels to clear the snow from the road.

To keep the city roads clear.

These people were servants employed by government offices or gangs, mainly clearing snow from the city roads to prevent traffic jams and disruption to the city's businesses.

Watching those people occasionally dig out emaciated, ragged, and stiff, frozen corpses from the snow.

Then all the logs were carried away in carts.

Su Hao also shook his head and sighed.

With the implementation of the new policies, taxes increased, government officials became corrupt, and the infighting between various factions, coupled with the arrival of winter, many industries in the city were impacted, making life increasingly difficult for the people.

Many people starved to death because they couldn't withstand the cold winter and didn't have enough food.
