Chapter 624 Strong Multiplier
"Honey, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
Noticing his wife's worried gaze, Zhong Sheng forced a smile and tried to reassure her.
"It's okay."
His wife glanced at Zhong Sheng and could sense the frustration in his heart.
"Brother Sheng, I heard that there are Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens for sale in the county town that can help martial artists increase their blood and qi. I wonder if those Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens can help you break through?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Sheng's wife spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Sheng smiled bitterly. He had certainly heard of the fame of the Blood Feather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken, and had even personally traveled to the county town, hoping that the miraculous Blood Feather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken mentioned by other martial artists could help him break through.
However, the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken were extremely sought after. As soon as Zheng Baolou in the county town put the Blood Feather Chicken on the shelves, it would be snapped up by the local martial artists who had heard about it. Some martial artists even made pre-orders. Before Zheng Baolou put the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken on the shelves, most of them had already been pre-ordered. The remaining few chickens that were put on the shelves were not available for outside martial artists like Zhong Sheng to buy. They were all snapped up by the local martial artists.
"I also want to try the Blood Feather Chicken and Red Blood Chicken, but I can't buy them at all."
Zhong Sheng shook his head and sighed. According to what he had heard from other martial artists, Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken not only had a far superior effect on strengthening blood and qi than ordinary herbs, but they could also help martial artists break through bottlenecks. They were most suitable for martial artists like him who were stuck at a bottleneck. It was just a pity...
Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken are too popular, and they are only sold at Zheng Bao Lou in the county town, so it's impossible for Zhong Sheng to buy them.
Even if Zhong Sheng stayed in the county town for several days, he wouldn't be able to snatch even a single Blood Feather Chicken or Crimson Blood Chicken.
"what?!"
Zhong Sheng's wife was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth wide and said, "Those Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens are so popular?"
Zhong Sheng's wife had heard that the blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens in that county town were sold for decades, even hundreds of taels of silver each. In an era when two taels of silver were enough to feed a family for a year, she found it hard to imagine that such expensive things could sell so well.
"you do not say!"
Zhong Sheng nodded with a wry smile, then said to his wife, "You stay home and rest, I'm going out for a walk to clear my head."
With that, Zhong Sheng went back to his bedroom to change into clean clothes, and then went straight out to wander aimlessly around the city.
Of course, although he seemed to be wandering aimlessly, a closer look at Zhong Sheng's route would reveal that most of the places he passed by had pharmacies, and at each pharmacy, Zhong Sheng would inquire about the medicines he could find to help him break through his cultivation level.
However, medicinal herbs that can help people break through bottlenecks are not so easy to obtain.
After visiting five or six pharmacies, Zhong Sheng finally walked out with a disappointed look on his face. Dingjun County was not a big city, and the pharmacies in the county sold low-end medicinal materials that were useless to him.
"Perhaps I should go to the county town again?"
As Zhong Sheng walked out of the last pharmacy, the thought of going back to the county town came to mind. Breaking through to the seventh rank had become his biggest obsession, and right now, the only thing that could help him break through to the seventh rank was the Crimson Blood Chicken.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhong Sheng continued walking forward.
Just then, a commotion arose ahead.
Zhong Sheng looked up and saw that he had arrived at the most prosperous East Market in Dingjun County. The East Market was the place with the strongest commercial atmosphere and the most shops in Dingjun County. Zheng Baolou of Dingjun County was located here.
The source of the noise was precisely where Zheng Baolou was located.
Why are there so many people at Zheng Baolou today?
Curious, Zhong Sheng quickly walked towards Zheng Baolou. Only when he got closer did he realize that most of the people gathered outside Zheng Baolou had a fierce aura and were all martial artists.
This made Zhong Sheng even more puzzled. Just then, he noticed a familiar figure in the crowd, quickly moved to stand behind the martial artist, and asked curiously, "Cai Ying, what's going on? Why are so many martial artists gathered in front of Zheng Bao Lou?"
The martial artist called Cai Ying turned around and glanced at Zhong Sheng, then immediately laughed: "Oh, it's Brother Zhong!"
Zhong Sheng, a peak seventh-rank martial artist, might not be much in the prefectural city, but in a small county like Dingjun County, a peak seventh-rank martial artist is already a big shot.
Therefore, Zhong Sheng was quite well-known among the martial artists in Dingjun County, and many martial artists knew him.
"it's me."
Zhong Sheng nodded and continued, "Cai Ying, what happened to Zheng Baolou? Why are all the martial artists from the county town gathered here?"
There weren't many martial artists in Dingjun County, so everyone knew each other. For example, the dozens of martial artists gathered outside Zheng Baolou—Zhong Sheng couldn't recall their names, but their faces were quite familiar.
These dozens of martial artists practically comprised the entirety of Dingjun County.
"You don't know yet?"
Cai Ying looked at Zhong Sheng in surprise and said, "Last night, all the martial artists in the city received a notice from Manager Luo of Zheng Bao Lou, saying that Zheng Bao Lou would be selling Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken today, which is why the martial artists in the city gathered in front of Zheng Bao Lou."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Sheng was startled and excitedly asked, "Are they the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken sold at Zheng Bao Lou in the county town?"
"Exactly!"
Cai Ying said excitedly, "I've heard about the amazing effects of the Blood Feather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken for a long time. In the past, because they were only sold in the county town, I could never get them. Now, our Dingjun County finally has them too!"
At this point, Cai Ying paused, then continued, "I plan to buy two Blood Feather Chickens to try this out. If the effects are as miraculous as the rumors suggest, I might be able to break through to the eighth rank with these Blood Feather Chickens!"
Cai Ying is not very old, only twenty years old now, and has only been practicing martial arts for a year. However, his talent is quite good, and he has reached the peak of the ninth rank in just one year.
If Cai Ying were given another six months, he was confident that he could be promoted to the eighth rank without any external help.
However, half a year is too long. If possible, Cai Ying naturally hopes to break through to the eighth rank as soon as possible.
That's why he rushed to Zheng Baolou after hearing the news that Zheng Baolou was about to sell Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken, in order to buy them as soon as possible and then quickly break through to the eighth rank.
"Great!"
Zhong Sheng cheered with delight. His desire for the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken was far stronger than Cai Ying's. Cai Ying was young and had plenty of time, but at thirty-five years old, he had been stuck at the peak of the eighth rank for five years. He desperately wanted to break through the damned bottleneck and enter the seventh rank as soon as possible. Therefore, his desire for the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken, which could help people break through their realms, was a hundred times stronger than Cai Ying's!
