Chapter 73 begins! Blood Wolf Meat!
A sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Liu Chongshan looked towards the doorway and, hearing the voices outside that seemed to be Tang Huang and the others, said, "Come in."
The wooden door creaked open, and several figures stepped inside.
It was Tang Huang, Jiang Yan, Mu Bai, and a few others.
After they entered, their gazes all turned to Su Hao and Liu Chongshan, who were sitting on the stone bench.
A hint of suspicion and surprise flashed in his eyes.
No one expected Su Hao to be here, especially since he was meeting with Master Liu alone.
However, the group quickly realized what was happening, walked to Master Liu's side, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Teacher."
The group glanced at Su Hao, then fell silent, though they seemed to have something to say.
The meaning in his eyes was very clear.
Su Hao remained calm, understanding what the others meant. He then stood up and said, "Master Liu, I'll go back to cultivate now."
Judging from their expressions, it seems they don't want me to know certain things.
However, he didn't care to know. Anyway, what he wanted to tell Master Liu already knew, so there was no need to stay here.
Seeing that Master Liu nodded, Su Hao stepped out of the courtyard.
Only after Su Hao had completely left did Tang Huang and the others turn their attention away and say to Master Liu, "Teacher, Senior Sister has returned to her residence, so you don't need to worry anymore."
"Hmm... Keep an eye on her for me. Also, if she goes to contact those people in the inner city again, remember to let me know. And don't get too close to those eight major families, so as to avoid trouble later..." Liu Chongshan said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group all hardened.
Although Liu Shi's tone was calm and he didn't say anything, the general meaning of his words was already very clear.
That means you shouldn't easily get in touch with the people from the eight great families of the inner city.
Does this mean that Master Liu has already made a decision?
These people all come from families with some background, so they all know a thing or two about the current situation in Yanshan City.
If an alliance and a fortress were to fight, the first to suffer would inevitably be the major martial arts academies in the outer city.
Considering Liu Shi's previous injury, it's not hard to guess his decision.
Despite this speculation, the group nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yan, who came from an inner-city family, had her beautiful eyes sparkling, and it was unclear what she was thinking for a moment.
She herself came from the Jiang family of the inner city. Although she was not one of the eight great families, she was still related to them.
Now that Liu Shi has sided with Zhangjiabao and is intentionally distancing himself from the inner city, she is caught in the middle...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan clenched her fists as she looked at Liu Chongshan.
……
After obtaining the recipe for the Eight Treasures Soup, Su Hao did not cultivate in the courtyard, but went directly to the inner city.
I plan to first learn about the exotic beast meat, and then buy the medicinal ingredients for the Eight Treasures Soup.
Now that he has broken through to the second level of Qi and Blood, these simple daily practices are no longer enough to compensate for the excessive strengthening of his Qi and Blood.
So with his current skill level, it doesn't matter whether he reports to the boxing academy or not; he just needs to pay the gym enough fees each month.
If Yueshanquan wants to transform and become stronger again, it can only extract the most refined and direct methods from the original basic martial arts, which is the so-called mutual generation practice method in Yueshanquan.
Upon arriving in the inner city, Su Hao still carried the token given to him by Zhou Zhengtang and went to the Golden Jade Pavilion.
This time, however, he did not have the maid bring him the red-scaled deer meat, but instead began to inquire about the prices of other exotic beast meats.
However, after looking around, Su Hao found that the prices at Jin Yu Ge were not cheap. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to buy anything and instead focused on learning about the different types of exotic beasts.
Soon, Su Hao saw a type of exotic beast meat called Blood Wolf Beast on the menu.
The above efficacy claims include: "Significantly strengthens Qi and blood, refines essence and blood, strengthens muscles and bones, promotes tissue regeneration and healing, and provides substantial nourishment. However, the meat contains a slight side effect of residual blood toxins; those not with a strong constitution should consume with caution!"
"Blood Wolf Beast..." Su Hao's heart stirred as he looked at the description of its effects.
The effects of this blood wolf meat were exactly what he needed.
It primarily enhances qi and blood, strengthens the body, and refines essence and blood. Both of his martial arts, Yue Shan Fist and Crimson Blood Palm, require this effect.
As for the blood toxins contained in the meat?
His current aptitude has reached 5 points, which is far superior to what it used to be. His innate talent and comprehension are not only top-notch, but also quite good, not to mention his strong physique.
Therefore, Su Hao believed he should be able to digest the blood poison.
Having visited the Golden Jade Pavilion several times, Su Hao had gained some understanding of the different grades of exotic beast meat.
Jin Yu Ge roughly divided the meat of some common exotic beasts into four grades.
There are four levels, roughly divided into common, rare, precious, and top-grade.
And this blood wolf meat is of a rare and precious quality.
However, it is also considered top-grade in terms of rarity!
Therefore, in terms of price, it costs sixty taels of silver per catty! That's about twenty taels more expensive than red-scaled venison.
After inquiring about the price of the blood wolf meat, Su Hao learned that Jin Yu Ge happened to have blood wolf meat for sale today.
Without further hesitation, he bought a pound of the product and had it processed and delivered.
He can't be described as wealthy now, but he's still willing to spend money on exotic beast meat.
After all, this is related to the progress of cultivation. Good supplements are very beneficial to cultivation, and the more critical the moment, the less one should be stingy.
We ordered other dishes and drinks and ate while waiting. About half an hour later, a pot of fragrant dry-pot wolf meat with spices was served.
"This Golden Jade Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a shop specializing in selling exotic beast meat. They can even turn these kinds of exotic beasts into various dishes..."
Su Hao picked up a piece of wolf meat, smelling the rich aroma emanating from the tip of his chopsticks, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"This sum is equivalent to an average family's annual expenses. The saying 'the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts' is truly not just a saying..."
Su Hao composed himself and tossed the piece of meat into his mouth to chew.
It has a firm texture, a rich meaty aroma, and a lingering aftertaste.
This is how Su Hao felt after taking the first bite.
He never expected that the meat of the strange beast could be cooked so deliciously!
Not only that, Su Hao soon felt a warm sensation in his palms after eating the blood wolf meat.
This is a sign that the body's Qi and blood are flowing freely and actively.
And it wasn't just in one place; next it spread to the back, then the hands and feet, and then to the chest!
Su Hao could clearly feel that eating the meat of these strange beasts made his blood seem to boil.
The position of my heart seemed to become faster and stronger because it was beating so fast!
"It's incredibly effective!" Su Hao thought to himself in surprise.
Such results made it worth the 60 taels of silver he spent to buy just one pound.
Those few bites alone made Su Hao feel that it would take several months to notice a significant increase in his blood and qi. If he ate this every day, he would see results in a month!
Su Hao quickly finished a pound of blood wolf meat.
In addition, Su Hao also ordered red-scaled venison for nourishment.
After cleaning everything up, Su Hao left the restaurant with satisfaction and headed to the inner city's medicine street to buy the ingredients for the Eight Treasures Soup.
As for why he didn't go directly to Zhou's Pharmacy, it was because Su Hao didn't want to bother Zhou Zhengtang with too many things anymore.
Given that the other party has been busy with wedding preparations these past few days, he has even less reason to bother them at this time.
