Chapter 110 Yihong Restaurant, Left-right Fighting
Li Ming glanced over and saw that there were portraits on the papers in the hands of those warriors. It was vaguely visible that it was a woman with heroic looks. It must be Xiyu.

The story related to the black stone, drizzle and Rama's remains also appeared in Li Ming's mind.

Bai Zhantang hung around the inn every day and knew some of the news. He continued to explain from the side.

"Heishi suddenly appeared some time ago and broke into the home of the former Prime Minister Zhang Haiduan. It is rumored that he stole half of Rama's body. But who would have thought that Heishi's killer Xiyu suddenly rebelled and disappeared with the half body."

"Now the word has been spread in the martial arts world, calling on the martial artists in the martial arts world to hunt down Xiyu together. As long as you bring Xiyu's head to Tonghe Bank in Damingfu, Luoyang, Heishi will offer 50,000 taels of gold! In addition, the 800,000 taels of silver on Xiyu will all belong to him..."

At this point, Bai Zhantang let out a sigh.

Obviously, this amount of money is enough to make even the great thief feel emotional.

But then Bai Zhantang half-jokingly said: "This amount of money has already caught up with the reward offered by Master Li on the Dark Flower List."

What Bai Zhantang was talking about was, of course, the bounty on Li Ming's head that had been rumored before.

When Li Ming just became famous, someone offered him a reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was already a considerable number on the Dark Flower List.

But as Li Ming's subsequent battle record gradually became abnormal, the value of his head also soared rapidly. When Shangguan Yundun first came, it was already hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but soon after, it rose to more than one million taels of silver, and once ranked first on the Dark Flower List.

But ever since the last killing of Zuo Lengchan, Jing Wuming and others, the discussion about Li Ming on the Dark Flower List has decreased, and now almost no one mentions it anymore.

In the final analysis, Li Ming's strength has exceeded the conventional scope and can no longer be measured simply by money.

Besides, no matter how high the reward was offered, basically no one would dare to take it. Those who are capable of taking Li Ming's life are probably already at the stage where they don't care about material things, so the amount of the reward becomes meaningless.

However, in comparison, Xiyu's strength is far inferior to Li Ming's, but the hidden reward is so generous. The reward offered by Black Stone this time is very tempting, which makes many martial artists see hope.

Although Black Stone's whereabouts are shady and his group is small, he has always been ruthless and can blackmail officials all over the world. Although this amount of money is astronomical, no one doubts that Black Stone cannot come up with it.

Recently, many people or forces in the martial arts world have begun searching for Xiyu's whereabouts.

There are many warriors residing or visiting Qixia Town now, and information is flowing freely. Therefore, many people have come here recently to inquire about news, unlike before when they came here solely for Li Ming or the martial arts school.

Li Ming nodded and looked at those people again.

Although this group of warriors were not coming for Li Ming, they had heard a lot about Li Ming's reputation in the martial arts world recently, so they were naturally very wary of him.

As soon as he saw Li Ming looking at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze and concentrated on eating.

"I see that they are so diligent in tracking down Xiyu's whereabouts, not just for the sake of the gold and silver."

Li Ming said meaningfully.

"That's true!"

Bai Zhantang thought about it and nodded in affirmation.

Most people are thinking about Xiyu not only for money, but also for the half body of Rama.

It is said that in order to spread Buddhism, the Indian monk Rama voluntarily entered the palace after becoming purified. Later, he faced the wall in Mount Jiuhua for 19 years, during which he mastered peerless martial arts. After his death, he was buried in Xiong'er Mountain by his disciples.

It is said in the martial arts world that whoever obtains Rama's body will be able to realize Rama's peerless magical skills, so every time the body appears in the martial arts world, it will cause a bloody fight.

It seems this time is no exception.

Compared to material possessions like gold and silver, warriors in the martial arts world are naturally more interested in the peerless martial arts found in the remains.

Not to mention them, even Bai Zhantang was a little curious.

Because it was rumored that Rama's martial arts were so extraordinary that he could even regenerate life and make up for the defects. Rama entered the palace with a clean body, but when he was buried, his body was intact. Many people were amazed and said it was the effect of Rama's internal strength.

At least Bai Zhantang had never heard of or imagined this kind of martial arts that could repair severed limbs in all his years of wandering the world.

Just based on this effect, it is no longer an ordinary martial arts technique, but more like a legendary magic.

Of course, Bai Zhantang is skeptical about this because it is too ridiculous.

However, this does not affect the enthusiasm of people in the world.

In recent days, Bai Zhantang could no longer remember how many waves of warriors had passed by the inn to inquire about Xiyu's whereabouts.

"By the way, Master Li, today is Xiaobei's big day, aren't you going to watch?" Bai Zhantang asked.

Even in the inn, today only he, Li Dazui and Lu Xiucai were looking after the store. Guo Furong followed Tong Xiangyu to Mo Xiaobei's inauguration ceremony as the leader of the Five Mountains.

"It must be nothing serious, so I won't try to steal the limelight."

Bai Zhantang agreed. Li Ming is now a real big shot. If he appears at the ceremony, he will probably attract everyone's attention.

Anyway, it's just on the edge of the town, and there are so many masters from various sects present, so Bai Zhantang is not worried.

Just when I asked Li Ming what he wanted to eat today, I looked up and saw Captain Xing walking in with a knife slung over his shoulder.

"Hey, Old Xing, it's been a while since I last saw you."

Bai Zhantang hurriedly let Captain Xing in.

His words were not an exaggeration at all. It was indeed a long time since he had seen Captain Xing.

The town has been quite busy lately, with expansion going on and a myriad of things to do. The focus is on the east end of the town. After all, the west end is already mature and prosperous enough, and large tracts of land have been given to Qianming Martial Arts School, leaving much less room for development and expansion.

Bai Zhantang also heard that Captain Xing made a lot of money during the expansion process. Basically, all the merchants took turns to give him red envelopes or treat him to meals. In addition to various miscellaneous matters, Captain Xing didn't even have time to come to Tongfu Inn for meals recently.

But looking at the expression of Captain Xing today, he doesn't seem to be particularly happy.

"What's wrong, Old Xing?" Bai Zhantang asked considerately.

When Captain Xing saw Li Ming, he hurried in.

"It's good that Master Li is here. I just happened to want to talk to you about something."

Captain Xing walked in, sat next to Li Ming, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water to quench his thirst.

Then he said to the two of them, "Lou Magistrate is not here recently. He has returned to his hometown in Lingnan."

"Huh? So sudden?"

Bai Zhantang was surprised and didn't hear any sound. Only Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something, as if he understood something.

The last time, Magistrate Lou said that he was worried that Heishi would come to his house to blackmail him, so he decided to return to his hometown in Lingnan to hide if there was any sign of trouble. He also discussed this with Li Ming.

However, there was no news about Blackstone at that time, so the matter was shelved. Considering that Blackstone has reappeared recently...

When Li Ming thought of this, he listened to Captain Xing continue speaking.

"County Magistrate Lou asked me to come and tell Master Li that I hope Master Li can help me with the matters we agreed on before."

Li Ming knew what Captain Xing was talking about, asking him to help maintain peace in the town, and nodded.

"Do not worry."

Captain Xing was relieved then, and soon the food ordered by Li Ming and the braised pork intestines that Captain Xing had requested were served.

The dish of stir-fried pork intestines can be said to be Captain Xing's favorite, but this time, when Captain Xing picked up a piece and tasted two bites, his face did not show the same satisfaction as before.

"Ah, it's monotonous and boring. I get sick of eating too much of the big mouth's fried pig intestines. It's a bit too monotonous."

Bai Zhantang said with a smile beside him.

"What's the matter, Captain Xing? Isn't this braised pork intestine delicious? Why did you suddenly change the taste? Besides, in our town, only our Da Zui can make braised pork intestine with this flavor. How can it be said to be boring?"

"Not necessarily."

Captain Xing finished most of the dish in a few bites, but with a mysterious expression on his face, he said to Bai Zhantang.

"Old White, for the sake of our friendship, I'm telling you in advance that there will soon be more than just places for you and your family to eat in our town."

"what?"

Bai Zhantang was stunned with surprise. Even Lu Xiucai, who was busy counting the bills behind the counter, looked up when he heard it.

As we all know, although Tongfu Inn is not big and does not look very luxurious, it is already the largest inn in the vicinity. To a certain extent, it has a monopoly and it is difficult to find a substitute.

In addition, thanks to Li Ming, the town has become more and more prosperous recently, with more and more warriors coming and going, and the inn's profits are also rising. Some time ago, Tong Xiangyu even gathered them together to discuss whether to renovate the inn or expand it to add more guest rooms after saving enough money.

In this situation, Bai Zhantang was of course surprised to hear Captain Xing say this.

Captain Xing continued, pointing at a row of long-abandoned small buildings diagonally opposite the door of Tongfu Inn.

"Look, you see, right across from your inn, they're going to open a new restaurant. The property deeds and land deeds have already been arranged, and they're going to start construction soon. The name has also been decided, it's called Yihonglou."

Hearing Captain Xing's confident words, it must be true, and Bai Zhantang suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Look at what you said, Old Xing. Even if a restaurant opens across the street, their chefs' skills may not be as good as ours. It's not certain whose business will be better." Lu Xiucai took over from behind the counter.

"That's not true. I've met the owner of Yihonglou. He's quite wealthy. I heard that he's going to invite the chef from Zuixianlou to cook after the restaurant opens... Oh, I really can't wait."

Captain Xing had a look of anticipation on his face. He finished the last bit of the pork intestines and stood up.

"I have other things to do, so I'll go get busy now. Please put the meal money on my account."

After saying that, he ran out of Tongfu Inn.

Bai Zhantang felt a little anxious and ignored the fact that he had escaped another order.

Lu Xiucai was still a little unconvinced: "Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of in Zuixianlou. Our Dazui is also from Huanghelou after all... uh, a dishwasher, I may not lose to him."

Speaking of which, I feel a little bit unconfident.

Bai Zhantang was even more puzzled. Could it be that the inn's business had just picked up for a while, and it was about to usher in a competitor? It seemed that he had to inform the innkeeper quickly about this matter.

"It seems that Yihonglou is coming after all."

Li Ming finished his meal while thinking, then he took Lin Pingzhi and left.

If my memory serves me correctly, the owner of this Yihong Restaurant should be Sai Diaochan. It seems that we will soon see the two restaurants competing to attract customers.

However, Li Ming was not too worried. There were many people in Qixia Town now. No matter how popular the business of Yihonglou was, Tongfu Inn would not be like in the original plot where there was no guests at all.

However, Li Ming decided to pay attention to Blackstone's developments.

After returning to the martial arts gym, Li Ming checked his disciples' martial arts progress as usual.

[Zhou Botong's proficiency in Kongyouqu increased, gaining attribute points +80]

[Zhou Botong's proficiency in Dancing Crane is improved, and attribute points +100 are obtained]

[Xuan Cheng Da Bei Quan proficiency increased, gain attribute points +65]

[Yang Guo's understanding of the changes in the world is improved, and he gains attribute points +60]

[Lin Pingzhi's Jade Girl Heart Sutra realm is upgraded, gaining attribute points +80]

……

When he found some time to open the system interface, prompts kept popping up, and Li Ming felt a great sense of achievement after seeing them one after another.

This kind of thing basically does not require you to do anything, but it feels great to be able to reap the rewards while lying down.

And with the help of two older guys, Zhou Botong and Xuan Cheng, Li Ming's daily income increased significantly.

Although they are not bound to the position of personal disciples, given their extraordinary abilities, the benefits they have brought are no less than those of Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo.

And the difference between them and other people in the martial arts school is that they don't really need Li Ming to be responsible for them.

Needless to say, Xuan Cheng is a martial arts fanatic and practices martial arts very hard. In the future, Li Ming will teach him the Buddhist skills as well as the unique skills that he has and those that the Vajra Sect will soon send to him that are related to Shaolin. This will definitely bring him a lot of benefits.

Zhou Botong was easier to deal with, as his realm was even higher than his own. There was no need to help him improve his martial arts, nor to pursue power. All he had to do was teach him interesting martial arts.

Recently, Zhou Botong learned the skills of playing the flute from Yang Guo, and started to play it randomly, which could bring him continuous profits.

There are a lot of similar martial arts that are not very powerful but very interesting in Li Ming’s system mall, so there is no need to worry at all.

However, in his spare time, Li Ming saw Zhou Botong bring Xuan Cheng, Yang Guo and Lin Pingzhi together, deliberately showing off his left-right fighting technique, which stunned the three of them.

Zhou Botong enjoyed this feeling very much and agreed to teach them without hiding anything.

But when I started to learn it, I found that I couldn't learn it at all.

Even with these three people's high martial arts qualifications, they managed to do it in a weird way. Their hands were practicing two different martial arts respectively, and each of their hands was as stiff as if they were paralyzed. None of them looked good.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this, Zhou Botong rolled on the ground with his hands covering his stomach.

"My technique of fighting with both hands is more difficult for the smarter and more thoughtful people to learn. On the contrary, my sworn brother Guo Jing learned it very quickly. You guys should just practice slowly."

Zhou Botong sat cross-legged on the ground and spoke to them with a smile.

A few people didn't believe it and continued to work hard, but they found that the more anxious they were, the more awkward it became, and they completely failed to grasp the essence of the matter.

But when Zhou Botong turned around, he uttered a slight exclamation.

Not far away, Di Yun was actually practicing the technique of fighting with both hands in the same way as taught by Zhou Botong.

Surprisingly, although he was slow, he actually succeeded!
Zhou Botong couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

Li Ming happened to be nearby and saw this scene.

"The owner."

When Di Yun saw Li Ming appear, he quickly withdrew his attack and stood there awkwardly.

He has nothing to do now, except practicing martial arts with the other disciples and wandering around.

Just now he was strolling around the area and heard Zhou Botong teaching how to fight with both hands. Out of curiosity he tried it and to his surprise it actually worked.

Now that Li Ming saw me, I felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, your inner strength has improved again?"

Li Ming checked Di Yun's internal energy and found that the speed of the Shenzhaojing improvement was very fast, even faster than his expectations.

It seems that Di Yun is not simply relying on his own strength to practice the Shenzhaojing, but there is another force in his body that is secretly pushing him forward.

Li Ming guessed that it should be the credit of Di Yun’s elder brother Ding Dian.

Di Yun learned the Shenzhaojing in the Jingzhou prison. By his side at the time was Ding Dian, the only person in the world who had mastered the Shenzhaojing.

So Ding Dian used his internal energy to help Di Yun practice, helped him open up many meridians, and sealed a lot of true energy in his meridians.

Although Ding Dian is dead, as long as Di Yun continues to work hard to cultivate his internal strength, this help can still play a role, so his progress in the Shenzhaojing is much faster than others.

It may be that Di Yun had been wandering around the world before, living from hand to mouth, and had no time to develop these potentials. Recently, his life in the martial arts hall has finally stabilized, and he has also enjoyed the resources of the martial arts hall, and this potential has finally been released.

In just a short period of time, Di Yun's Shen Zhao Jing was on par with Yang Guo's who was practicing on the cold jade bed.

This surprised Li Ming. It seemed that he had to train Di Yun more in the future. Otherwise, it would be a pity to waste his potential.

Everything is normal in the martial arts hall.

As the sky gradually darkened, a figure appeared outside Qixia Town, dragging a somewhat tired body towards this side.

Coming towards her, a little kid who looked only seven or eight years old ran over and passed by her.

But just at the moment when they passed each other, a fierce look flashed in the child's eyes. When he turned around, a flash of cold light appeared, and a sword pierced his throat.

"You really want to trick me?"

"The rain really lives up to its reputation. Let's all join in!"

Before he finished speaking, multiple figures suddenly shot out from all around and attacked this person.
