Chapter 122 Planning
To avenge their deceased brothers and fellow apprentices and retake the Zhao Family Martial Arts School in Sanyang City became the next thing everyone had to do.

With a goal in mind, everyone became motivated. Even the master Zhao Ge regained some energy. He was no longer as dejected as before. He began to think about how to take revenge and take back the martial arts gym.

Everything needs to be planned and regulated. Don't act rashly or do bad things impulsively.

After all, there are only so many people left in the Zhao family martial arts school. If they stumble again, they will never be able to recover.

Here,

Everyone sat around the campfire in the deserted temple and began to discuss the next action plan.

Li Yi did not speak, he just stood aside and listened quietly. After all, he was still unfamiliar with everything in this world and did not know what enemies his master and the others were facing. He only knew that his primary mission on this trip was to save his master. Now this mission has not been completed yet, because Zhao Qian said that the coffin used to treat his master was stolen by a traitor in the martial arts gym.

Although Master has recovered a lot from his injuries after drinking the extraordinary water, he still won’t live long without the coffin ganoderma.

He also planned to better understand and explore the world while helping Zhao's Martial Arts School.

In front of the bonfire, Senior Sister Rong Niang was speaking in an orderly manner: "We are now being chased by the people from the Han and Jin martial arts schools. Although Senior Brother's appearance killed this wave of pursuers, they will definitely be angry and will not let us go because of the huge losses they suffered. Therefore, Master and I cannot easily show up in Sanyang City for the next period of time to avoid alerting the enemy."

"So I suggest that we first find a way to find the traitor and take back the coffin ganoderma to prevent the other party from using this as a threat. With the coffin ganoderma, Master's injuries will be healed. After we recuperate for a while, we can openly take back the martial arts hall. The other party will not dare to do anything because they are concerned about the strength of Senior Brother and Master."

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Senior Sister, this method is safe. I think it's okay."

"It's more important to save Master first and get the coffin back. Once Master Zhi recovers from his injuries, we can do whatever we want." The skinny monkey also nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ge thought about it and agreed with Rong Niang's method, which was safer and had lower risks.

But he did not nod in agreement immediately, but looked at Li Yi on the side: "Meng De, what do you think?"

No matter what plan it is, the key to its success lies in Li Yi. His strength is currently the strongest among the few remaining people.

Li Yi just asked: "Master, I want to know who are the real enemies in Sanyang City? What are their strengths? Only after knowing these, I can proceed to the next step."

"The ones who hunted down my master the most ruthlessly and worked the hardest were the Han and Jin martial arts schools. Their masters, Han Tianbao and Jin Zhihuan, were both martial artists who had practiced acupuncture just like my master. In terms of strength, my master was about the same as them before he was injured. However, their two martial arts schools have been rooted in Sanyang City for many years, and their disciples are very powerful. There are at least a dozen experts in blood training, all together."

Zhao Ge began to elaborate on the situation in Sanyang City at this moment: "But I think the Lord of Sanyang City is behind this matter. Otherwise, these two martial arts schools have always been at odds with each other, so it is impossible for them to act so quickly and cooperate so well. They must have reached some agreement in secret."

"Master, what is the strength of the city lord of Sanyang City?" Li Yi asked again.

“It’s also a training exercise.”

Zhao Ge said seriously, "Sanyang City is not big, and the resources are insufficient. We can't support masters above the level of practicing orifices. With just the few of us, we have almost eaten up Sanyang City and the surrounding areas. Practicing martial arts requires a lot of resources. The methods of practice, precious medicines, daily expenses, and the maintenance of martial arts schools. Three martial arts schools are already the limit. If there is one more martial arts school, the tax revenue of Sanyang City will collapse, and many people will starve to death."

"I know this, and so do Han Tianbao and Jin Zhihuan. But in order not to fall behind, our three martial arts schools have been increasing their strengths, recruiting a large number of disciples, and building up their power over the years. This is because we are worried about being eaten up."

At this point, a hint of helplessness appeared on Zhao Ge's old face.

If he wanted to gain a foothold in Sanyang City, he had to do this, otherwise the Zhao family martial arts school would have collapsed long ago.

Li Yi understood now.

In this ancient world, a city can only obtain limited resources, and warriors are big consumers of resources. They eat a lot, use a lot, and do not engage in production. The three martial arts schools have indirectly hollowed out Sanyang City. The three martial arts schools are worried that they are too weak and will be swallowed up by the other two martial arts schools. Therefore, they can only continuously strengthen their strength, that is, recruiting soldiers and training disciples.

So, the vicious cycle begins.

Originally, each of the three martial arts schools had a master who had practiced martial arts. Although they competed secretly, no one could do anything to anyone else.

The balance was broken until the news that Master Zhao Ge's soul was injured came out.

As a result, Zhao's Martial Arts School became the first one to be taken over.

As the lord of Sanyang City, he was naturally very happy to see this scene. After all, the lord of the city was equivalent to the government, and he naturally hoped that there would be one less martial arts school in the city under his rule. So he cooperated with the other two martial arts schools and wiped out the Zhao martial arts school overnight. In order to prevent it from reviving, he would definitely kill them all.

If Master Zhao Ge hadn't died, and if his injuries had recovered one day and a master of Qi training had started to take revenge on them, they would have to pay a huge price.

After sorting it out, Li Yi had a rough idea in his mind. He glanced at everyone and said, "After listening to Master's story, I have an idea in my mind."

"What method is it? Please tell me, elder brother." The skinny monkey said immediately.

Rong Niang and Zhao Qian also raised their heads and looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi's face was stern. He said, "It's very simple. Kill the two martial artists who have practiced acupuncture in Sanyang City. Without the masters who have practiced acupuncture in the martial arts hall, the Han and Jin families will not be able to achieve anything. They will just scatter like monkeys when the tree falls. When the time comes, as long as the master shows up and raises the flag of the hall owner again, there is no need for us to do anything. The Zhao martial arts hall can be rebuilt."

"As for the coffin Zhi that Master needs to heal his wounds, I will go to Sanyang City to kill someone in a few days, and kill the traitor while I am at it, and I can just take it back directly. Why bother with that?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Is this so rude and direct?

"The martial artists who have practiced the acupoints are very powerful. Meng De, are you sure?" Zhao Ge asked in a deep voice.

Li Yi grinned and said, "I have never fought him, so I don't know, but killing the so-called blood training expert in your mouth is as easy as eating and drinking water. I think the expert who has practiced Qigong can also fight him."

He is a cultivator at the spiritual inspiration realm. His strength is difficult to define in this world. He has never fought with masters who have practiced the acupoints, so he cannot be sure.

"You can't be unsure. If you rush into a fight recklessly, once you lose, you'll lose everything."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ge immediately said, "Meng De, wait for your master to recuperate for a few days, then I will teach you some moves, so that you can understand the strength of a martial artist who has practiced acupuncture points. At the same time, I will teach you how to polish your skin and flesh and stretch your muscles and bones. Your body still has a lot of potential to be tapped. If you go back to the path of martial arts training, you may be surprised."

"Master, do you want me to start practicing again from the beginning? That will take a lot of time." Li Yi said.

"It would take at least ten years for others, but you are different, Meng De. You are born extraordinary and cannot be measured by common sense. Maybe it will take ten days or half a month. But I can't estimate how far you can go." Zhao Ge asked, "Rong Niang, how many Qi and Blood Pills did you collect from these corpses?"

"Not a lot, only one hundred and twenty one in total." Rong Niang replied immediately.

Zhao Ge nodded and said, "Okay, we'll leave eleven for the three of us to share, and use the rest for Meng De to practice martial arts. Also, count the gold and silver, and find a market tomorrow to buy more meat and good medicine. As for the steel knives, bows and crossbows, and horses, sell whatever can be sold. Only five will be left. Remember to burn off the gold seals on the horses to prevent enemies from looking for us." Rong Niang agreed to everything and had an idea in mind.

"Qi and Blood Pill? What is that?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Rong Niang smiled and said, "Big Brother, Qi and Blood Pills are for martial artists. They are made by mixing some tonic herbs with rare birds and beasts. They can replenish Qi and blood, strengthen bones and muscles, and help with cultivation. However, ordinary martial artists cannot afford them. One of these small pills costs ten taels of silver, which is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year."

"I see."

Li Yi could see that his master wanted to concentrate all resources on him so that he could practice martial arts again and quickly increase his strength.

But then he remembered something: "Zhao Qian, go get my backpack. I may need some things in it."

"Okay, Brother Yi."

Zhao Qian immediately stood up from the fire and took the sniper rifle and the backpack that Li Yi brought.

After Li Yi took it, he put the sniper rifle aside and unzipped it, took out a bottle of golden nutrient solution and handed it over: "Master, try it. This is what the practitioners in our world eat. I wonder how it compares to the Qi and Blood Pills."

After Zhao Ge took it, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

What a huge crystal glass bottle! This bottle alone is very valuable, possibly worth a lot of gold and silver.

The medicine inside was also quite strange. It was golden all over with sparkling spots, like a elixir that had been simmered for a long time but had not yet become a pill. It was somewhat similar to the extraordinary water that he drank before, but probably not as effective as the latter.

"Try it for me, Master."

Zhao Ge naturally did not doubt that there was anything wrong with the medicine, but he was worried that his old body could not withstand the nourishment of the medicine, so he drank it carefully.

It tastes good and has a great mouthfeel, better than some drinks in the city.

Zhao Ge closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

After a while, he found that the hunger in his body disappeared.

It seems that this medicine is very filling.

But then Zhao Ge was a little surprised. His body was nourished by the medicine. Some hidden injuries were repairing, his qi and blood were recovering, and he could even feel that his aging internal organs were getting younger.

This is just a small sip. If a warrior drinks it regularly, his body will be in excellent condition and even his life will be prolonged.

Zhao Ge suddenly opened his eyes, and he became much more energetic. He stared at the bottle of golden nutrient solution, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This is a medicine that can increase your lifespan.

Once it gets out, people will definitely fight over it crazily.

Does Meng De drink this every day?

No wonder the life span was predicted to be 150 years old when he was in Ghost Street.

"Master, how is this medicine? Is it good?" The skinny monkey came over and was also very curious: "Why don't you let me try it and see how it works."

"This is a first-rate medicine, much better than the Qi and Blood Pill. It can heal injuries, strengthen Qi and blood, nourish muscles and bones, and fill the stomach. Meng De, how many such medicines do you have?" Zhao Ge carefully covered the golden nutrient solution again, and then glared at the skinny monkey.

He didn't say that this thing could prolong life for fear of causing trouble.

The skinny monkey was glared at and gave up in disappointment, then shrank back.

"Master, I brought ten bottles of nutrient solution with me this time." Li Yi replied at this moment.

"Ten good medicines, plus a hundred Qi and Blood Pills, should be enough. Meng De, put them away. Drink less of this stuff, and save it. Except for you, no one else will get any." Zhao Ge said, handing over the medicine in his hand.

Li Yi didn't take it, but smiled and said, "Master, you can keep this one and ask me for more if it's not enough. Taking care of your body is the most important thing now. Besides, this medicine is not very precious in my place and you can buy it with some money. It's just that I came here in a hurry this time and didn't know I would come to Xingzhou, so I was not well prepared. Next time if I have the chance, I will bring a few more boxes to honor you, Master."

Although the golden nutrient solution is quite expensive at 100,000 per bottle, he now has 40 million in his bank card, which is enough to buy a lot.

Zhao Ge shook his head and said, "No, we only have so much stuff in our hands. If we use one, we will have one less. Before we rebuild the martial arts hall, we have to use everything carefully."

"Although I don't have much in my hand, it's enough for Master to eat." Li Yi said seriously: "Master, just take it."

"Dad, just take it and drink it. This is also Brother Yi's filial piety." Zhao Qian immediately pulled Zhao Ge's arm and persuaded him, showing great concern for her father's health.

Rong Niang also advised, "Master, your health is the most important thing now. You can't save a bite of food and ignore your health. The eldest brother must have seen this, so he asked Master to leave a medicine. When everything gets better, we will have everything we need."

After being persuaded by several people, Zhao Ge no longer insisted. He sighed and said, "Okay, then, we will only use this medicine. However, I will not eat alone. Rong Niang and Shou Hou, you should also drink some of this medicine. It will help your injuries."

"How can this be possible?" Rong Niang asked in surprise.

Zhao Ge was very determined: "That's it. You are still young. You can't leave any hidden injuries that will ruin your future."

While he was calculating carefully, he also did not forget to take a portion from his mouth to share with his injured disciples.

Li Yi saw this and felt uncomfortable.

But he understood that this was the way to survive in this world.

We must concentrate resources to support a sufficiently powerful warrior; only in this way can we survive.

Therefore, everyone felt that it was natural for Li Yi to monopolize all resources, and there was nothing wrong with it, and they would not have any complaints.
