Chapter 0007: Mastery of the Craft

This also means that fifty taels of silver are only sufficient to cover the expenses of Liangshan Village for half a month

Qin Shujian did not know to what level Wu Sheng had cultivated this Black Tiger Blade Technique, but as long as the other party had reached the level of proficiency or even mastery, it would be formidable

This transaction is not a loss at all

He brandished his tiger-headed knife, its cold light flashing, executing the black tiger knife technique with its thirty-six moves in succession

Very strong

That is—

This is also the main source of income for Liangshan Village

Qin Shujian directly left the Loyalty and Righteousness Hall and arrived at the open space outside

Then Qin Shujian looked at Wang Tiezhu and said, "You should closely monitor the Liangshan area to see which merchant caravans are arriving, and report back to me in a timely manner."

If we compare him before he practiced the Black Tiger Blade Technique, in a confrontation between the two, the former would definitely not last more than a few rounds

As long as he remains the chief of Liangshan, he will be able to continue issuing orders to these bandits.

Apart from this

A long howl erupted, accompanied by the roar of a tiger

When he took over Liangshan Village, he also realized that NPCs also need to eat

However, there is one exception to this.

To further expand the influence of Liangshan, one can recruit refugees and convert them into new bandits.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The same.

In his view, boundaries are fundamental

Swish

Currently, the source of life is only 18 points, and it is impossible to enhance the body refining technique. However, there is still room for improvement in the ordinary-grade middle-tier Black Tiger Blade Technique.

As a mountain bandit, Liangshan Village is naturally inseparable from looting and plundering

Zhang Tieniu nodded in agreement

Yes

Watching the two leave respectfully, without a hint of contradiction to his words from beginning to end, Qin Shujian felt a wave of satisfaction within

More often than not, it is the mountain bandits of Liangshan who descend the mountain to procure supplies

He merely grasped the tiger-head knife, and an overwhelming aura of ferocity surged forth, as if he were a prowling tiger, instilling fear in those around him

Qin Shujian stood with his sword in hand, his chest slightly rising and falling as he breathed heavily, and there was an uncontrollable joy in his eyes

When Qin Shujian discovered this matter, he felt a wave of desolation in his heart

However, at present, in order to elevate one's realm, relying on the eighteen points of life source still presents a significant gap. Achieving this within a mere two days is evidently an impossible task

Or it can be said that it is to go to other villages to enjoy the autumn breeze

The tiger turns back

Although the location here is not particularly favorable, merchant caravans often pass by.

Either be directly consumed by Liangshan Village

As for what will happen when the silver is exhausted, Qin Shujian can easily imagine it.

Seventy bandits require approximately two taels of silver each day

Exhausting the 18 points of life essence in exchange for a masterful proficiency in the Black Tiger Blade Technique

Upon seeing the plus sign behind the Black Tiger Knife Technique, a thought suddenly occurred to me

As the performance reached its conclusion, Qin Shujian felt as if there was a pent-up frustration within him, leaving him unable to express himself fully

Shocking a hundred miles

Engaging directly, even if he has the advantage.

The entire Liangshan stronghold now has only fifty taels of silver, but there are a total of seventy bandits in the stronghold, not counting him.

However, this falls within the realm of refreshable matters, and it is also characterized by unwavering loyalty that will not give rise to any rebellious thoughts

One possesses a realm of emptiness within, yet lacks any means to confront an adversary

Zhang Tieniu, you are now leading three brothers to investigate the situation of several forces around our Liangshan stronghold. Please report their general circumstances to the chief of this stronghold.

Qin Shujian grasped the tiger-head knife beside him, and a sense of fortuitous inspiration arose from his heart

Subsequently, Qin Shujian turned his attention to himself

After a while, he finally digested this memory.

In an instant, the three moves and eighteen styles of the Black Tiger Knife Technique swiftly flashed before his eyes like an animation

Ordinary mountain bandits are not subject to any restrictions that prevent them from freely leaving the Liangshan area; as long as they do not cause any trouble, they can go anywhere in the world.

Liangshan Village is essentially a small game instance, within which there are fixed NPCs. Even if they are killed, they can automatically respawn after a certain period of time.

Dining also implies spending money

The seventy mountain bandits of Liangshan, although it is said that most of them have low intelligence

After he became the new leader of Liangshan Village, the system refreshed the mountain bandits of Liangshan Village once again

The source of life at fifteen o'clock is instantly reset

Through conversations with Zhang Tieniu, Qin Shujian gained a general understanding of Liangshan Stronghold

The tiger descends the mountain

According to Qin Shujian's estimation

Qin Shujian's expression changed slightly and unpredictably as he gazed at the Black Tiger Blade Technique on the attribute panel, falling into deep thought

Suddenly, the source of life diminished by 3 points, and the Black Tiger Blade Technique transformed from a mere glimpse into the threshold to a full mastery of the art.

Regardless of whether it is him or those mindless cannon fodder bandits, they all need to eat every day

The crushed stone scattered in all directions

Rather than storing it until old age, it is better to maximize the function of every bit of life's essence. After Qin Shujian understood this point, he no longer hesitated

Consumed 3 points of life essence, elevating the Black Tiger Blade Technique by one level

To cultivate in a place like Liangshan, where not even a bird would defecate, and to reach a level of self-sufficiency is undoubtedly a pipe dream

Qin Shujian saw that the plus sign behind the Black Tiger Blade Technique was still there, and after glancing at the remaining fifteen points of life source, he steeled his heart

Bang

The skill has reached perfection

There will not be a one hundred percent compliance with the chieftain's orders, and there remains the possibility of rebellion

As long as the realm is elevated, the strength will follow suit

It seems as if a fierce wind is howling across the flat ground, and it is as if a tiger's roar is shaking the mountains

Strong

The next moment

Only after truly executing this knife technique did he understand the immense power of the Black Tiger Knife Technique at the level of consummate mastery

Because ーー

These transformed bandits are different from the bandits that come with Liangshan.

NPCs killed by players can respawn, but NPCs killed by other NPCs cannot respawn again

A unique realization surged in Qin Shujian's heart

Yes. Wang Tiezhu is also under orders

In this way ... ...

The once unfamiliar Black Tiger Knife Technique now seemed as if it had been practiced for many years, emanating a subtle aura from his body

The cold light in the sky converged into a single blade, striking fiercely against a boulder that stood as tall as a person before me

One who possesses the same realm but has cultivated a profound sword technique will be significantly stronger

Regardless of the issue, enhancing one's own capabilities is the most fundamental aspect

Qin Shujian did not have time to feel the pain, as a powerful memory surged in his mind, forcing him to close his eyes

In other words, those bandits from Liangshan who were originally killed by him all fall into the category of non-refreshable.

Qin Shujian rubbed his brow, feeling somewhat weary at heart

In the end, it is highly likely that he will still be the one to face defeat.

Originally, I only had one form of body training and lacked any means of attack. Now, I have acquired the Black Tiger Knife Technique. Although my realm has not improved, my strength has certainly increased significantly

Therefore, the village needs to procure food almost every period of time

However, the strength of Liangshan villages is not strong, and those villages have also formed guard teams. The act of extorting resources from others is only undertaken when absolutely necessary, as a last resort.

In this case, either the caravan pays a certain fee, or Liangshan guarantees their safe passage out of the Liangshan area

The Black Tiger Knife Technique has progressed from a basic understanding to a level of consummate mastery
