Chapter 91: Fattening Up

Don't ask, he opened two rooms.

This operation surprised even the waiter of the inn.

He had even prepared a double room, but this gentleman opened two rooms.

What's going on, a real gentleman?

Or is he inhumane?

But Li Qicai ignored the waiter's surprised look. He paid the room fee and told Shen Shuibi that he was going out for a walk. He let Shen Shuibi move freely, but not run around.

The rabbit nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and looked very obedient.

Li Qi'an calmed down, packed his things, carefully wrapped the knife with coarse cloth again, making it look like a stick, and then took it out.

What to do when going out? Of course, to find opportunities to make money, you can't just sit and eat.

It takes more than a day or two to fatten an old horse. It takes at least half a month to rest. Fortunately, he doesn't need to make new horseshoes, otherwise it will cost more.

But there is no need. Dragon foals walk on clouds, so they don't have so much wear and tear. And they won't have hooves that keep growing like ordinary spirit horses, which will cause illness.

The hooves of dragon foals are always fixed. If they are short, they will grow. If they are long, they will stop. It is very convenient.

They are both horses, but in fact they don't seem to be the same species at all.

Come to think of it, one is a horse and the other is a half-dragon.

Li Qi's mind was full of these random thoughts. He walked on the streets of Shewei County, looked around, observed the situation of the entire Shewei County, talked to people from time to time, and asked about some well-known news, but he didn't know.

The air here is quite fresh and very humid.

Human gathering places must rely on water. There is a clear river running through Shewei County. This river comes from the melted snow water on the White Snake Mountain.

Just as the entire Lizhou state relies on the Lishui River for food, the entire White Snake State relies on the White Snake Mountain for food. After all, you live by the mountain and you live by the water.

The snow on the mountain melted, and countless rivers meandered down, forming a dense water network that supplies all things in nature. The existence of Baishe Mountain itself is also a treasure.

Unlike the barren forests of Lizhou, the existence of Baishe Mountain produces countless natural treasures and mineral veins, so Baishezhou is also quite wealthy.

Moreover, this wealth is based on a large number of adventurers.

Whether it is exploring mineral veins, picking natural treasures, or anything else, in short, you have to go out of the city and go to the wild, and then there will be caravans waiting in the city, and they will buy as much as you take out.

After buying, they will take a boat and go along the river to Lishui, and then transport it from Lishui to other places.

Baishe Mountain and Lishui perfectly constitute an ecological chain, supporting the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of millions of residents in the two states of Dalu Kingdom.

However, unlike Lizhou, which relies on Lishui and can make money by collecting taxes and farming in the city, in Baishezhou, you have to go out of the city to make money.

Lizhou has the Lishui River. As long as you grow crops outside the city and gather beside the Lishui River, you will naturally have a lot of supplies, taxes, and jobs. Water is the most gentle to humans. As long as you stay by your side quietly, supplies will flow down along the water.

But the mountains are different. Mountains are rich, but also harsh. They will not send supplies down like flowing water. You need to prepare your own equipment and risk your life to pick them in the mountains.

Because of this, the martial arts here are strong. Many families have swords and armor. Sometimes they gather together and go into the mountains to make money.

White Snake Mountain is like an inexhaustible treasure. If you have no money, you can go in and buy it.

That's nonsense. The mountain range stretches for thousands of miles and covers an area of ​​millions of square kilometers. It is basically the area of ​​a continent on the earth. It would be a ghost if you take it all.

Shewei County has a small population of only a few hundred thousand people, but Li Qiangguang can feel the atmosphere of the entire White Snake State by walking and watching here.

There are not as many gangs as in Lizhou, but there are more "mining teams" and "martial arts halls".

These are the most numerous organizations in Shewei County.

You can often see people performing martial arts on the streets, and there are arenas in many places. Everyone enjoys exchanging fighting skills. The winner can get a lot of applause, and the loser will not be discouraged and go down to the next one.

It seems that it should be a game played by everyone. Winning or losing is not important, what is important is to improve each other.

Li Qi can see that most of these people are much stronger than the gangs in Lizhou City. Many of them have evil spirits and scars on their bodies. It is estimated that they have been fighting in the mountains for many years, killing many animals and people.

Because of this, the degree of forest development near Baishezhou is quite high.

Li Qi found that in Baishezhou, it would be difficult for him to gallop in the wild for many years like in Lizhou without seeing a ghost.

Riding an old horse here, he might run into a mining team every once in a while and see his exhaust.

"It's not appropriate to be too ostentatious here, otherwise it will easily expose the identity of the dragon colt." Li Qi shook his head, estimated the situation of White Snake Mountain, and saw what he should do.

A tall spirit horse and a dragon colt are two different concepts.

Unless someone is as proficient in horse-looking as Shen Shuibi, it is not easy to be exposed simply by walking, but if the old horse takes off and runs, anyone with a little knowledge in this area can recognize at a glance that this is a dragon colt worth thousands of gold, which is more than a hundred times the price of an ordinary spirit horse.

"But it's quite convenient to make money. Martial arts are popular here, and many mining teams are also recruiting people. However, those are ordinary mining teams, and the strong ones are not yet in the rank. The pay is too low, and it's a waste of time." Li Qi walked on the street, analyzing how to earn some money to come back for Lao Ma's meal.

He had just arrived, so he shouldn't expose Zhu Ren's ability, but he shouldn't be unable to make money with the ninth rank of martial arts.

After all, he wandered around the street for a whole afternoon, but didn't see a ninth rank. The strongest person in those patrol teams was just a big bearded strong man.

He had just tempered his skin, muscles and bones, and had just come into contact with the stage of tempering his internal organs. Moreover, he was already in his forties or fifties, and his blood and qi were already exhausted. I'm afraid he would have no hope of reaching the ninth rank in this life.

For ordinary people, entering the rank is so difficult that it is difficult to achieve even if you spend your whole life for it.

In fact, not only entering the rank, but just wanting to get in touch with the martial arts that can enter the rank has already screened out 99% of people.

This made Li Qi sigh at his luck again.

Therefore, we should seize the opportunity.

Li Qi continued to walk on the street, listening to a group of people shouting.

But at this time, someone hurriedly came forward and took the initiative to talk to Li Qi: "My brave man! Please stay!"

Li Qi turned his head and looked.

He saw a merchant wearing silk, who stopped him for some reason.
