Chapter 12: Boy, Do You Want to Make a Lot of Money?

"Old man, you almost killed me just now!"

The moment his palm slapped out fiercely, Chu Tian roared.

"Asshole, you treat the benefactor who gave you the practice method like this!"

Ba Lao dodged Chu Tian's attack easily with a casual flash, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared on the spot.

Just now, he thought that Chu Tian showed a trace of determination on his face, and was ready to attack the fifth level of the body refining realm in one go, but he didn't expect that he was paralyzing himself and suddenly attacking to eliminate the anger in his heart.

This kid is too sinister!

Seeing that he couldn't hit him with one palm, Chu Tian snorted coldly and didn't continue to attack. Instead, he lowered his head to observe his skin.

Chu Tian found that his skin was covered with layers of black stains and exuded a pungent odor, so he immediately got out of bed, got a large bucket of hot water from outside, took off his clothes, jumped into it, and started to wash.

"Boy, I am short-sighted and failed to find that the three tumors were actually fire spirit evil spirits. But your cultivation has also reached the peak of the fourth level of the body-refining realm!"

There was a hint of apology in Ba Lao's words.

Although there is only one word difference between flame evil spirit and fire spirit evil spirit, their actual values ​​are far apart!

To a certain extent, fire spirit evil spirit is a sublimated version of flame evil spirit, which is generally a resource used by strong people in the spiritual realm when practicing.

It must be said that Chu Tian was able to withstand the fierce impact of fire spirit evil spirit!

Chu Tian sat in the wooden barrel, snorted secretly, and did not reply.

Although the fire spirit evil spirit he absorbed just now benefited him greatly, it also had a negative effect that could not be ignored.

That is, if Chu Tian wants to continue to use the five elements evil spirits to improve his cultivation, he cannot use those ordinary five elements evil spirits, but must use the five spirit evil spirits.

Ordinary five-element evil spirits are hard to find, and higher-quality five-element evil spirits are even rarer.

Thinking of this, Chu Tian couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After a dozen breaths, Chu Tian rubbed his swollen eyebrows, exhaled lightly, and jumped out of the wooden barrel.

Then, he looked down at his skin again and found that his body was smooth as new, and the scars left by the battle had completely disappeared.

Under the light touch, there was a sense of toughness!

Suddenly, Chu Tian took out a sharp dagger from the storage ring and stabbed it hard at his left forearm.

With a bang!

The tip of the dagger was completely blocked by the skin of the forearm, leaving only a shallow white mark.

Hiss!

Chu Tian took a breath of cool air and was immediately ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, after breaking through to the peak of the fourth level of the body-refining realm, his skin was strengthened to this extent.

You should know that the fourth-level strong men in the realm of body refinement often say that they can be invulnerable to secular weapons. This does not mean that they are completely invulnerable, but that they can greatly reduce the damage by relying on the strengthened skin.

For example, secular swords can only penetrate one inch at most, and will be blocked by the dense muscle tissue and cannot go deeper, so naturally they cannot cause fatal damage.

It is extremely rare for someone like Chu Tian to completely resist the penetration of sharp objects.

This also shows that Chu Tian's skin has been strengthened beyond expectations due to the absorption of the fire spirit evil spirit.

Ba Lao was suspended ten feet away, curled his lips, and secretly said in surprise: "This kid... is really a living freak, he is completely invulnerable to swords and guns!"

In his hometown, there are very few warriors in the fourth level of the realm of body refinement who can be completely invulnerable to swords and guns.

Especially those geniuses who also practiced the "Five Elements Vajra Sutra". They are not unaware that using the five spirits evil spirit can better strengthen the body, but considering the huge risks involved, very few people dare to use it.

The five evil spirits are always violent and fierce. If you are not careful, it will cause the warrior to explode and die!

After a while, Chu Tian put on his clothes, sat cross-legged on the bed, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

"Boy, are you worried about the other four five evil spirits?"

Ba Lao asked in a deep voice.

Chu Tian glanced at him and nodded.

Ba Lao came to Chu Tian's side in a flash, stroked his beard, and chuckled: "Haha, the other three five evil spirits are hard to say, but the gold evil spirit is easy to get."

"Easy to get?"

Chu Tian looked at Ba Lao in confusion.

Any one of the five evil spirits is extremely rare, and it may not be encountered once in decades. Ba Lao actually said that the gold evil spirit is easy to get. Is it nonsense?

Seeing Chu Tian's doubtful look, Ba Lao smiled profoundly: "Haha, the so-called evil spirit, the usual explanation is that it is an inexplicable and unknown breath caused by killing or other factors, so it is naturally easy to get!"

Ba Lao's words were so confusing that Chu Tian was confused. After thinking hard for dozens of breaths, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind at a high speed.

"Weapon fragments!"

Chu Tian blurted out.

"Yes, it is weapon fragments, and it must be weapon fragments used by warriors!"

Ba Lao nodded, showing a hint of appreciation.

Chu Tian immediately stood up and paced back and forth. After a while, he suddenly stopped, stared at Ba Lao, and said excitedly: "Starting tomorrow, I will buy a large number of weapon fragments used by warriors!"

"You are a teachable boy!"

Ba Lao stroked his beard.

...

The next day.

As usual, Chu Tian got up early and went to the waste disposal department of the Marquis' Mansion to start his busy work.

In the afternoon, Chu Tian drove the carriage to the suburbs. After dumping the feces, he told Bai Lao and left the team alone.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Tian walked on the streets of the county city, entering and exiting shops that specialize in selling weapons.

Chu Tian did not notice that while he was wandering around, someone was staring at him in the dark.

Before dark, Chu Tian returned to the Marquis' Mansion with a hint of joy in his eyes.

As soon as he returned to his room, Chu Tian lit a candle, then raised his right hand, waved his sleeves, and suddenly a large number of broken weapon fragments appeared on the ground.

These weapon fragments were piled together, half a person high.

Thinking of the bosses he met in the afternoon, all smiling, Chu Tian couldn't help but feel a little proud, secretly saying: "Those guys, they treat these fragments as garbage, but for me, they are supreme treasures."

According to Ba Lao's speculation, each weapon fragment used by these warriors must contain some gold essence evil spirit. Although it is extremely rare and almost negligible, it can help him break through to the fifth level of the body refining realm!

Do it as soon as you say it!

Chu Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up a fragment at random, and began to run the "Five Elements Vajra Sutra", carefully feeling the gold essence evil spirit inside the fragment.

After dozens of breaths, a trace of joy flashed across Chu Tian's eyebrows.

In the depths of this weapon fragment, he really felt a very weak wisp of gold essence evil spirit!

Immediately, Chu Tian used his skills to easily absorb the golden essence into his body. After putting it down, he raised his hand again and picked up the second fragment.

…

In a dark room in the central area of ​​Qianyang Marquis's Mansion.

"Oh? You said Tian'er went into more than a dozen weapon shops in the afternoon and bought a large number of weapon fragments?"

Chu Changqing, the Marquis of Qianyang, who was dressed in a white robe, leaned back in his chair and asked with a frown.

In front of him, a thin man with ordinary appearance was half-kneeling. Hearing Chu Changqing's question, he hurriedly replied: "Yes, Marquis, the third prince did buy a large number of weapon fragments, but I don't know what they are for."

"What the hell is this kid doing? Why did he suddenly become interested in weapon fragments?"

Chu Changqing waved his hand to dismiss the thin man, then frowned and whispered to himself.

After a moment, he sighed helplessly, and a high-spirited young man's face slowly emerged in his mind.

That face used to be his greatest pride and honor, but now it has almost become a waste, lost in the crowd.

As for the bet in half a year, it was just a joke to him. Chu Tian had become half a waste, and it was impossible for him to enter Tianji College for cultivation anyway.

Chu Xi, on the other hand, was worth cultivating. If he could really enter Tianji College for cultivation and marry Su Xishui of the Su family, then with the relationship of his father-in-law in the royal family, he would be a frontier official in the near future!

For a while, Chu Changqing's brain was caught up in all kinds of plans.

…

Time flies, waiting for no one, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Every two or three days, Chu Tian would take the opportunity of going out in the afternoon to buy a large number of weapon fragments from the weapon shops on the street.

Chu Changqing sent people to secretly watch him a few times at first, but gradually lost interest in investigating, thinking that it was just a weird hobby that Chu Tian developed after working hard every day and feeling depressed.

Chu Tian absorbed the golden essence evil spirit left in the weapon fragments every day. Unconsciously, his cultivation was improving at an extremely slow speed.

Especially the bones all over the body, after being washed by the golden essence evil spirit, the hardness and toughness have been greatly improved.

Chu Tian often had a smile on his lips.

He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to successfully break through to the fifth level of the body refining realm and the bone refining realm in time.

However, just a few days later, the smile on his lips disappeared, replaced by a face full of sorrow.

He was running out of money!

Although those weapon fragments were very cheap, the quantity Chu Tian bought each time was too huge, and the cumulative consumption of spirit stones was also a very terrifying amount.

That day and night.

Chu Tian sat cross-legged, took out the last middle-grade spirit stone left on his body, held it in his hand, touched it again and again, looked at it again and again, and sighed repeatedly.

This was the last middle-grade spirit stone, and it could only support the purchase of weapon fragments twice at most.

Without spirit stones, he would not be able to buy weapon fragments, and improving his cultivation would become completely empty talk!

As for the salary Chu Tian received as the head of the Waste Management Bureau, it was a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

"Do I need to ask Su Xishui to borrow spirit stones again?"

Chu Tian frowned.

At this moment, Ba Lao's tempting old voice came faintly: "Boy, do you want to make a lot of money?"
