Chapters 213 and 214: Windfall!

  "Remember, this is not a precedent." Chai Sang thought for a moment before speaking, then turned his gaze to his assistant: "Issue a notice, saying that Miao Chen's previous task was to secretly protect Ye Wei's safety, and not to enter the wilderness training area without authorization. In addition, try to minimize the impact on the Weilin soldiers."

  Now Chai Sang seems to have understood that initially, Sang Hongyun and Mei Long gave up their reception rights because they were afraid of being burned by the arrow.

  At the same time as Chai Sang gave such instructions, Luo Xue Ning also replied with compensation. Each deceased student will receive 50,000 yuan in condolences.

  The subsidies seem insignificant, but together they add up to a staggering number.

  At the same time, Xiao Hong returned home and immediately opened his backpack to check his belongings. The first thing he wanted to see was the "Lin Jin". He had finally gotten what he had been dreaming of.

  He pulled out the most commonly used slanted knife of the pattern makers, injected his power, and at this time Xiao Hong saw that a faint blue energy blade was instantly formed on the tip of the knife. The principle is similar to that of the magic tattoo surgical knife, but it's much more complicated than that.

  Because the magic thread surgical knife only breaks open the skin, while the energy blade at the tip still has to carry the magic thread liquid.

  After fiddling around, Xiao Hong really couldn't bear to part with it, and then extremely carefully inserted the "Lin Jin" carved knife one by one into the carved knife bag, and tied it to his left forearm.

  He shifted his gaze back to the backpack, where Hertz and his deputy had left their "legacy". There were nearly twenty magic patterns inside, most of which were intact.

  For Xiao Hong, who was already quite familiar with the Demon Crests, it was easy to distinguish between good and bad ones. Soon, he picked out five relatively precious ones from among the twenty or so Demon Crests.

  Two of them are at the level of Yu Shi, two are at the level of Yu Zhe Wu Ji, and one is at the level of Yu Zhe Si Ji.

  However, for these magic tattoos, Xiao Hong did not have the idea of using them. Firstly, they were easy to expose, and secondly, Xiao Hong had mastered the techniques of tattooing within a tattoo and bottom tattooing. For battle tattoos that did not contain these techniques, Xiao Hong would not be able to use them smoothly. Moreover, these battle tattoos were not compatible with his own combat system.

  After all, Xiao Hong is the core of dark blue magic beads, compared to the ingenuity of dark blue magic beads, these magic patterns are not worth mentioning.

  In this regard, Xiao Hong thinks that these tattoos have only one use for him - making money.

  Before that, Xiao Hong needs to do is to check the remaining energy stocks of these battle tattoos. For second-hand tattoos, this is a very important factor in measuring prices.

  Without much hesitation, Xiao Hong began to pick up the magic threads one by one, allowing his driving force to seep into them. Although he couldn't drive or use them with his current level of driving force, it was still possible to check how many energy stocks were inside.

  The first three kilograms of magic lines, the driver's level, most of the energy stocks are in the shape of Xu to Ao. According to the normal usage of magic lines, it should be considered as eight layers new and can sell for some price.

  Next, Xiao Hong checked two driving masters. In Xiao Hong's view, the battle patterns of the driving master were also very valuable, especially in Taiwu City, where the basic battle patterns of the driving master were extremely rare.

  What's more, Xiao Hong found that one of its loaded stones was a cyan-gray stone with strange patterns on it, which is the Odin stone loaded stone, and can be called the top-loaded stone among the driving master-level loaded stones, just like the golden nanmu stone in the driver level, but much more expensive than the golden nanmu stone.

  Obviously, the carvings on this and other stone monuments are invaluable.

  Xiao Hong set it aside for now, considering it a good thing to save for last. He picked up another Master-level battle emblem and tested it out. This was a standard Master-level battle emblem with 2,000 energy strands inside. For a Master-level battle emblem, this number of energy strands could only be considered 60% new. In other words, the internal energy strands were estimated to still have 60% remaining.

  But even so, it's still very expensive.

  Xiao Hong's gaze finally locked onto the Odin Stone pattern, and through the blood-red lines on it, Xiao Hong could roughly determine that this was a pattern that mainly relied on blades as its primary means of attack. The three energy blades and the blood-colored long knife that He Zhi had released earlier were very likely to be emitted from it.

  Xiao Hong temporarily named it Blood Blade Battle Pattern.

  He grasped it in the palm of his hand, and the power of Yu Li seeped into it. Xiao Hong's expression suddenly changed, and in an instant, he felt through the power of Yu Li that there was no clear energy pulse within the Blood Blade War Pattern, like a ball of mist, and also like a vast ocean.

  "Permanent battle scars!" Xiao Hong muttered to himself, his expression slightly exaggerated, with surprise, excitement, and joy, a hint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

  The rarity of permanent battle scars, Xiao Hong naturally understood very well. To put it this way, even a master-level character was already extremely rare, and among ten masters, having three people with decent permanent battle scars would already be considered a relatively high probability.

  Moreover, something like this in front of us is a permanent battle pattern with extremely outstanding combat effectiveness.

  "This is a good harvest." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, although the Blood Blade Battle Pattern was not very useful for him, but if it could be sold for money...

  Even Xiao Hong can use it to exchange for the materials needed to become a charioteer, of course on the premise that Xiao Hong must be able to survive.

  With such a realization, Xiao Hong's heart was jumping up and down with excitement.

  Dong dong dong.

  Just as Xiao Hong was indulging in his reverie, three soft knocks on the door suddenly rang out.

  Suddenly, such a knock on the door came, Xiao Hong's expression flashed a hint of vigilance, and then he quickly put all the magic patterns into his backpack before opening his mouth to ask: "Who is it?"

  "Guess?" came Mu Xi'er's soft voice from outside the door.

  It was Mu Xi'er's voice, Xiao Hongcai let out a slight sigh of relief. Earlier, he had already made an appointment with Mu Xi'er that after things were busy, he would come to give Qiuqiu a thorough examination. After all, both he and Mu Xi'er saw that Qiuqiu had blocked the attack for Xiao Hongcai, and was not lightly injured. Although it seemed like nothing was wrong now, neither Xiao Hongcai nor Mu Xi'er felt at ease, so they decided to do a thorough check just in case.

  As soon as he got up, at the moment when Xiao Hong just opened the door, Mu Xi'er's ball in her arms had already stuck to Xiao Hong's face. Xiao Hong didn't dodge either, anyway, he was used to it.

  "It's been so long since you opened the door, what were you doing in the room? Sneaking around." Mu Xi'er glanced at Xiao Hong, slightly narrowed her eyes, and walked directly into the room to take a look.

  "I didn't do anything, you know that, I'm not someone who's picked up so many scars for nothing. It's unbearable to look at." Xiao Hong struggled to pull the ball away from his face and held it in his arms.

  "So it's really like that, how is it? What did you gain?" Mu Xi'er asked with a mysterious expression, in front of Xiao Hong, Mu Xi'er seemed to be completely stress-free.

  "It's developed." Xiao Hong whispered into Mu Xi'er's ear with a hint of a smile.

  Then Xiao Hong chatted with Mu Xi'er for a few more sentences, and then carried the ball to the side house. Most of the instruments stored here were useless, as Dahongmei's business had fully transformed into the beauty industry, so the earliest batch of diagnostic equipment used for treatment was thrown into the warehouse and basically hadn't been used at all.

  After pulling out a detector taller than one person from the debris, Xiao Hong gestured to put the balls on it.

  However, it's clear that Ball doesn't like staying in a small tray for too long and swam directly into Xiao Hong's arms within ten seconds of being put in.

  Xiao Hong simply picked up the ball and looked at it with a serious expression: "You stay on top, don't move."

  Xiao Hong then put the balls back on the tray again.

  However, at this time, Xiao Hong helplessly discovered that the ball had jumped into Muxi'er's arms again, with an expression full of mischief, and its small paws were constantly fiddling with the pendant on Muxi'er's chest.

  It's actually a pretty helpless thing, the ball has been hugged by Muxi'er and is used to it, except for fighting, eating, and sleeping, it basically stays in Muxi'er or Xiao Hong's arms.

  "You, honestly stay up there." Muxi'er's expression slightly cooled down, and she said seriously to Qiuball, placing it on the tray.

  At this time, the ball looked at Xiao Hong and then at Mu Xi'er, both of whom had icy expressions, as if they too had learned their lesson. They stood still on the tray, even striking a pitiful pose, as if they had suffered some great injustice.

  Muxi'er saw this scene, her heart softened, and under helplessness, she still took out a piece of dried beef from her handbag and put it on Qiuqiu's small paw: "Be good, don't move, just eat something on top."

  Xiao Hong on the side also started to get busy, turning on the magical patterns on the instrument. He was also very clear that it was difficult for Ball Ball to wait quietly for a while.

  As several green light lines began to scan the body of Qiuqiu, Xiao Hong could see through the light screen that Qiuqiu's internal organs were being scanned, especially his back, which was a key area for scanning.

  However, what surprised Xiao Hong was that there wasn't a single scratch on Qiuqiu's body. According to reason, after receiving such a heavy blow, even if he was wearing armor, there should be some bruising or signs of soft tissue damage, but the fact was right in front of him, and Qiuqiu looked completely unharmed.

  "Could Qiuqiu really have the ability to quickly self-repair? Xiao Hong was somewhat astonished, knowing that spiritual beasts rarely had this ability, unless they were divine beasts, but how could Yu Ruxing possibly have one."

  This left Xiao Hong puzzled, but no matter what, Qiuqiu was safe and sound, which was the most delightful thing.

  "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Qiuqiu?" Mu Xi'er asked anxiously after five minutes had passed.

  "It's very normal, no harm was done at all." Xiao Hong responded.

  Upon hearing this, Muxi'er's expression finally relaxed, and she gently hugged Qiuqiu in her arms. Unbeknownst to her, with the current strength of Qiuqiu, being able to withstand such a severe blow and still be unscathed was quite eerie.

  Chapter 214: The Conditions for Becoming a Charioteer!

  Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er chatted for a while longer and had some snacks by the street before reluctantly parting ways.

  Xiao Hong returned home and saw Li Le and others, who had already finished their work and were sitting together eating dinner and chatting.

  It seems like everyone is making fun of Li Le and Fang Ting in their conversations.

  Seeing Xiao Hong walk in from the back door, the declaration of discussion suddenly became much smaller.

  "Hong Ge, we thought you weren't coming back!" Lin Zi said with a smile, starting to tease Xiao Hong.

  "I'm not going back, where would I go?" Xiao Hong casually found a seat and poured himself a cup of tea.

  "Of course it's a luxury hotel, hey, Brother Hong, do you know that a super six-star hotel has just opened in Baihan District? Want to take Muxi and I'll take Fangting there for a visit sometime?" Li Le leaned slightly towards Xiao Hong, with a mischievous look on his face.

  "Hmph." Xiao Hong snorted and took a sip of tea, looking down on him. However, after what Li Le said, he indeed felt a bit itchy in his heart.

  "Hypocrisy, if we don't reproduce, where will the next generation come from? If we don't reproduce, how can humanity develop and grow?" Li Le said with a thick face.

  "Alright, let's put this matter on hold for now and discuss it privately later. Let's focus on the main issue first. How did the negotiations go with those four shops I asked you to find a few days ago?" Xiao Hong asked.

  "It's almost done, just two more households are hesitating, it seems they want to raise the price a bit higher, but in my opinion, four households, Li Jin can basically handle it." Li Le responded.

  "Then let's first acquire the two agreed-upon shops and expand, also we need to recruit some tattoo artists, the price is easy to discuss, as long as they have the ability." Xiao Hong responded, then threw two gold storage seals on the table, and got up to return to the room.

  Xiao Hong's purpose in doing so was also very simple. He was well aware of the disguise of a certain student at the branch school. It was estimated that it would soon be unable to hold on, but before that, Xiao Hong wanted to form his own team. If the Miao family wanted to look for trouble, then bring it on.

  Of course, these two thousand taels of silver are a huge fortune for Xiao Hong.

  Returning to the bedroom, locking the door behind him, Xiao Hong opened his backpack again and began to sort out the magic patterns inside. At the same time, he also checked the three storage gold patterns that he had picked up with the magic patterns. All of them were anonymous, totaling around 600 gold coins. It was estimated that for a driver-level person, it would only be considered "pocket money". However, for Xiao Hong, it was also an unexpected windfall.

  After sorting out all the battle scars, they were put into a box. Xiao Hong sat on the bed, flipping over and over the bloody battle scar in his hand, thinking about how to dispose of these demon scars.

  Would Da Ting sell the Demon Mark in a public market? Unless Xiao Hong thought he was too idle and wanted to invite trouble for himself.

  A person of the rank of Yu Shi has died, will the emperor let the murderer go? Although He Zhi didn't kill him himself, it's almost the same.

  And Blood Blade Pattern, this and performance excellent permanent magic pattern, ordinary people can't afford the price.

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Hong's expression changed slightly, he thought of a person, Luo Xue Ning, he was a military personnel, and should have a great demand for magic crystals. More importantly, he could afford the price, and what Xiao Hong needed was just one, the condition to become a Master?

  The conditions for becoming a beastmaster were very clear in Xiao Hong's mind, much more difficult than that of a beastmaster. There are three major conditions: first, the variant beast gall of a great beastmaster above level 5; second, the cosmic beast fat; third, the ancient flame.

  The so-called Cosmic Beast is the official name of the Divine Beast, which can travel back and forth between planets and the universe. It is powerful and rare, and applying its fat to the skin allows one to temporarily break through the physical barrier within a short period of time. Then, combining it with the magical pattern made from the Variant Beast's gallbladder and the Eternal Flame, one can temper their driving force, achieving a qualitative transformation.

  The so-called eternal flame is simply magma that has been flowing underground for thousands of years, which is the molten rock ejected during a volcanic eruption.

  Of course, the tempering process is extremely dangerous. There isn't a single decent magic armor, it's easy to lose control and fail to temper, and your body gets burned first.

  And the success rate is not 100%, and there are life-threatening risks.

  There are not many people on Rain Planet who can gather these materials, and there is a failure rate, so those who can truly become a Master are extremely rare.

  Tai Wu City, with a population of millions, only four people have become Yu Shi, the probability is self-evident.

  Of course, one can still barely exchange these for a permanent tattoo.

  Although Xiao Hong still doesn't know if he can marry the woman who will become his wife on the day he becomes a charioteer, Xiao Hong has decided to try and provide materials for himself.

  With this in mind, Xiao Hong prepared to seize the opportunity and went to find Luo Xue Ning for an exchange.

  However, before that, Xiao Hong still felt that he should make the suction cup battle emblem for Luo Xue Ning, which would show his sincerity.

  Of course, not today. After a whole day of battles, Xiao Hong's internal driving force is almost depleted and he basically has no more driving force to create suction war patterns. Fortunately, let's wait until tomorrow.

  Carefully putting aside the wooden box with the war pattern, Xiao Hong began to get busy with the proper business, that is, making healing pattern dan.

  The previous formula for healing tattoos had already been grasped by Xiao Hong, so making them was not too difficult. It only took an hour for Xiao Hong to produce five of them.

  Then Xiao Hong had to do the relatively more difficult part, which was to carve the base pattern and main pattern on the nail-sized Danqing.

  Carefully withdraw the micro-tip knife from the forearm, with a slight presentation of a spiral shape, and a depression in front that is finer than a hair.

  As Xiao Hong infused his power into the "swish" indentation, a one-centimeter-long blue energy blade suddenly shot out, looking extremely fine, and could not be seen clearly even when held at arm's length.

  The blade of the knife is also a common feature of a rare and precious carving knife.

  He carefully examined the blade of the Yu Li knife, Xiao Hong's expression was focused, and then he began to carve the base pattern on the Wenden, as the Yu Li knife approached the Wenden, the performance of the Wenden was precisely broken open, with almost no resistance, it looked extremely smooth.

  The intricate patterns that were once extremely cumbersome have become much easier with the help of "Lin Jin".

  This made Xiao Hong feel that the risk of participating in the wilderness training was really worth it.

  About three hours later, five new healing tattoos were completed. With the help of "Lin Jin", the patterns on them had become much more delicate and smooth.

  Under the soft glow of the magic lamp, Xiao Hong glanced at the healing tattoo on his fingertips with a hopeful gaze. His heart was extremely complicated, with excitement, nervousness, and a hint of confusion. Because if it didn't achieve the desired effect, Xiao Hong really couldn't think of any other way, in other words, Xiao Hong also didn't have enough time to find another solution.

  He carefully placed the five variant Dan patterns in a small box, and Xiao Hong did not use them immediately, but continued to study the medicines that matched the healing Dan patterns, including cell repair Dan patterns, heart-strengthening solutions, detoxifying Dan patterns, and so on.

  These are all rescue measures after taking it.

  Xiao Hong himself was very clear that taking the cure-all pill was basically equivalent to having already entered the Ghost Gate, the key was whether he could use these means to pull himself back from the Ghost Gate.

  Until midnight, Xiao Hong stopped researching self-rescue and took advantage of the remaining energy in his body to start improving the formula for Blood Refining Solution Powder, trying to enhance its efficacy as much as possible.

  Because Xiao Hong is very clear that after the fourth level of Yu Zhe, the current blood refining liquid powder will have a greatly reduced effect, so improvement is imminent.

  As for the improved program, in Xiao Hong's view, it basically doesn't have any technical content, just replacing some materials with more expensive ones and further optimizing the formula, while adding a few herbs.

  Before he knew it, a day had passed and Xiao Hong woke up feeling sore all over. This was no surprise, given that he had been exhausted the previous day and had taken several heavy blows. Such a reaction was only to be expected.

  Xiao Hong opened a wooden box, took out a nourishing pill and an activating pill, and after taking them, he exercised his body, put on his clothes, and drove to Shang Hong's tattoo shop to buy materials for making suction cup seals, as well as materials for making improved blood refining solution.

  Just casually strolling around, Xiao Hong spent nearly two thousand gold coins. Fortunately, he had made a fortune recently, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to afford such extravagance.

  In just two days, they spent all of Jin's money.

  Carefully placing the materials on the bed, Xiao Hong began to sort out the materials for making the suction cup pattern. Since he had already made this pattern once before, this time was a breeze, and with the "Lin Jin" which was a rare and precious carving knife, Xiao Hong felt like a tiger added wings.

  Especially when processing materials is completed, and starting to carve patterns on Jin Nanshi, with the super strong assistance of "Lin Jin", the difficulty of carving base patterns has been greatly reduced.

  The delicate patterns that originally required a great deal of effort to carve out can now be achieved with relative ease.

  The injection of magic patterns is the same, with a special ultra-fine "font knife", and more importantly, since the blade is a force-controlled blade, whether it is carving or injecting magic patterns, as long as the control of the force reaches a certain level of precision, it can be fine-tuned to achieve absolute accuracy.

  It took Xiao Hong just about a whole morning to complete the brand new suction cup magic trick.

  Looking at the smooth texture above, it's a bit better than Xiao Hong's own suction cup pattern, mainly thanks to the help of "scale gold" and his own proficiency in making suction cup patterns.
