Chapter 20 October 1st

Yu Zecheng did not stay still. After the announcement, he started to make soup. This time, he prepared a large pot of ingredients and started to make his own specialty soup. After it was done, he asked all the disciples to drink the soup to replenish their vitality.

Yu Zecheng actually made the soup for cultivation this time. He remembered that Bai Hexi said that his soup had the medicinal properties of Qi-promoting powder. All the food and wine he ate and drank turned into blood energy. His soup had a tonic medicinal property, which should have produced much more true qi than the food and wine he ate. Using them to convert blood energy must be much faster than before.

Yu Zecheng began his career of making soup. He kept making soup, deliberately using his internal force to heat the large pot and make soup. After the soup was ready, he drank the soup to replenish his internal energy and convert it into blood energy. He persisted in this way, using this soup with the medicinal properties of Qi-promoting powder to support his blood energy conversion.

Not to mention that it really worked. The first time he drank soup to practice, when night came, he practiced a trace of blood energy, reaching six strands of blood energy.

In the evening, the Shi family invited him again, and Yu Zecheng took Gao Feng and others to the banquet. This time, they did not dine at the Lake Yalou. The chief of the Wood Clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains came here to consume and booked the Tianyalou.

Shi Tianlong accompanied him for a while, then went to greet the chief of the Wood Clan. Shi Fangwu accompanied him throughout the whole process and enjoyed the meal.

Yu Zecheng gave Shi Tianlong the tonic soup he cooked as a thank you gift. After drinking it, Shi Tianlong praised it immediately and even wanted to send someone to learn how to make the soup so that it would sell well in Yanzhilou.

Yu Zecheng just smiled and agreed, thinking to himself:

"Bai Hexi, Brother Bai has learned how to make this soup, and he gave himself the fire talisman and the steward as rewards. You, Shi Tianlong, want to learn it, is it possible? I won't teach you no matter how much money you give me. What if there are many people who can make this soup? I don't have much now, but if someone on Brother Bai's side can make it, it will not be a good thing for Brother Bai."

Naturally, the chef sent to learn for seven or eight days, but he couldn't make such a good soup. This time Yu Zecheng had an excuse, saying:

"This soup is actually a medicine, and it needs people with spiritual roots to make it."

This blocked everyone's excuses at once, and the matter was left unresolved.

In this way, during these ten days, Yu Zecheng began his own practice process, cooking soup, drinking soup, practicing, and transforming. After two days, Yu Zecheng gradually discovered that using blood energy instead of internal force to heat the pot would have a magical effect. The soup would taste several times better than before, and the medicinal properties would be outstanding. After drinking a bowl of it, the disciples would be full of blood and must find a woman to vent. It was more powerful than aphrodisiac. This blood energy is like a panacea, it can be used everywhere, and miracles will happen when it is used.

At the same time, using blood energy to cook soup, blood energy not only does not decrease, but shows signs of increasing. This is definitely a good thing for Yu Zecheng. Yu Zecheng vaguely thought of the reason. Brother Bai Hexi said that his soup has the prototype of refining medicine. This time, it is replaced with the blood energy of Xiuxian power to heat it. Isn’t it more like refining medicine?

Ten days later, Yu Zecheng's blood energy finally reached nine strands. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the nine strands of blood energy actually merged together and turned into a strand of blood energy. In the future, when he increased blood energy, it would be in strands. It seemed that his practice was still fruitful.

The only disadvantage of Yu Zecheng's persistence was that he became less and less fond of drinking this soup. It made him sick. It was delicious to others, but it was like poison to him. He made it and drank it every day, and he felt sick when he smelled it.

Days passed by, and on the third day, Yu Zecheng finally memorized all three secret books by heart, and then burned all three books with a fire. Only then did Yu Zecheng breathe a sigh of relief, and this secret was completely a secret.

Every night when he slept, he had no dreams. The two scriptures in his mind continued to take shape as before. Now they knew how to fight against blood energy together, but the blood sea had grown up and decomposed and refined them every night.

During these thirteen days, Yu Zecheng began to visit the merchants in his territory one by one, giving each store a small gift and getting to know the owners of each store. This was considered a visit to the dock.

The owners of these stores were also very respectful to Yu Zecheng. The legend that the little boss could use magic and squeezed out Motu and had a congenital master under his command had spread throughout Mangzhu City, and no one dared to look down on Yu Zecheng.

During the visit, Yu Zecheng discovered many problems. The previous method of collecting protection fees was problematic. The Wild Wolf Gang was a bunch of idiots. Thirty-four stores all charged the same fee, which was obviously an idiotic behavior. Some stores made thousands of gold a day, while some stores only made two hundred taels of silver a month. This was obviously unreasonable and led to the loss of tax revenue.

Yu Zecheng quietly calculated the new protection fee collection plan. No matter how the collector calculated, it would be beneficial to him. He wanted to collect more money, but just let the payer pay it quickly. Even if he felt sorry, he had to pay it with a smile.

In fact, the most unreasonable thing is Yanzhilou. For such a big deal, only 25 taels of silver were paid, but no one dared to say anything, including Yu Zecheng.

Next month, we can only collect it like this. Let's talk about it next month. First stabilize our team, and then boil the frog in warm water slowly.

In the expectation day by day, October 1st finally arrived.

October 1st of Dingchou Year

Suitable: travel far, go out, unsuitable: open mountains, take stones

Finally, this day has arrived. In the morning, the sun just rose, at the beginning of the morning, under the leadership of Yu Zecheng, forty-eight disciples stood behind him, all standing in the courtyard.

Today is the day to collect protection fees. This day is very important for Yu Zecheng and others. Whether to eat meat or drink porridge in the future depends on this day.

For this day, Yu Zecheng took out all his money and even owed some money to the helm. He customized a set of black tiger warrior clothes for everyone and bought a wooden shield, iron sword and other standard equipment. Everyone wore new clothes, wore swords, lined up together, majestic and murderous.

First worship the ancestors, then Yu Zecheng said:

"Brothers, today is very important for us. I have said what I should say. I won't say much. Let's go."

After that, he waved his hand and Yu Zecheng was the first to go out and headed straight for Yanzhi Building.

Before this, Yu Zecheng re-established the method of collecting protection fees. From now on, they will no longer charge like the Wild Wolf Gang before, and adopt a new method.

First, Yu Zecheng went to Yanzhi Building. Yu Zecheng was dressed in white warrior clothes, with a huge black tiger embroidered on his back. The black tiger was extremely ferocious with its fangs and claws. Although Yu Zecheng was not tall, he had a unique momentum.

Behind him on the left was Gao Feng and on the right was Lin Yehong. One on the left and one on the right, one literary and one martial, accompanied him to Yanzhi Building.
