This side effect is awesome

Strong foundation, strong body, and boundless future... So when breaking through the bottleneck, there are also various advantages.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

As the strange ding-dong sound resounded in the body, the bottleneck leading to the bone marrow burst piece by piece, and the Qishang Qi and blood began to temper and nourish the bone marrow according to the mysterious trajectory.

Bone marrow refining!

Official breakthrough!

Song Ankang's strength has stepped into a new realm, his blood penetrates into his marrow, his moves are smooth, and he has formed instincts. When performing various martial arts, he can easily turn around and display amazing power.

Song Ankang took another ninth-grade medium pill to stabilize his current state, and only then began to adapt to the surge in strength.

With every move, he possesses nearly [-] catties of strength, and can easily destroy a small mound, even if hundreds of people join forces, they can't do anything to Song Ankang.

The speed has reached hundreds of meters in a few seconds, and the reaction has reached the level of counting knives in an instant. This kind of combat power and lethality, if placed on the earth, it is a proper little Superman.

Even in the kingdom of Xia, where demons are rampant, they are still second-rate masters. In the realm of inner training, there are basically no warriors who are opponents of Song Ankang.

If Song Ankang were to face Miss Dingxiang again, he would be able to blow up Miss Dingxiang with about three punches, and there would be no more disturbances.

As for Miss Lilac's illusion, Song Ankang is now immune, and her spiritual will has increased a lot on the original basis. Unless it is the illusion of a ninth-level upper-level ghost, otherwise the ninth-level upper-level illusion will not be effective.

At this moment, Song Ankang's comprehensive strength is not inferior to that of Jiang Yunhe. Maybe Jiang Yunhe is far better than Song Ankang in terms of combat experience and combat skills, but if it is a real life-and-death fight, Song Ankang can't beat Jiang Yunhe And, it is still very easy to escape.

Relying on Taxue Wuhen's lightness kung fu, Song Ankang was even sure of grinding Jiang Yunhe to death.

Song Ankang's strength is so strong that he has already stood at the pinnacle of Chaoyun Grange and also the pinnacle of Tongxin Town.

With a radius of about ten miles, Song Ankang is enough to rule the roost.

After carefully perceiving and adapting to the soaring strength, Song Ankang stopped, and then began to worry.

Although his strength improved rapidly during this period, he broke through to the marrow training level in a blink of an eye, and his overall strength was comparable to that of a warrior at the blood-changing level, but the consumption was quite astonishing.

He has used up less than half of the pills sent by his cheap wife Tang Yelan, and the rest is at most enough for him to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm, and then he will have to find ways for resources.

Fortunately, Chaoyun Tianzhuang's processing workshop is slowly on the right track, and it should be able to barely support his practice, but the more resources he needs in the future, it is better to have a psychological preparation in advance.

Thinking of this, Song Ankang sighed, poor culture and rich martial arts, as expected.

Leaving the practice room, I was about to eat something, when I received the news that Hao Jiyong came to visit and brought him a big bag of good things.

Song Ankang looked at dozens of precious herbs in the bag, many of which were ginseng more than five years old, and looked at Hao Jiyong in surprise: "Guan Hao, did you bring all the precious herbs from the warehouse?"

"That's right, all the good medicinal materials with a certain age in the warehouse are here." Hao Jiyong said.

Song Ankang was speechless: "Steward Hao, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, don't blame me for withdrawing your position as warehouse steward."

"Master, the weather is severe this year. Although the harvest of our Chaoyun Farm has dropped sharply, the surrounding monsters and ghosts are also in a bad situation, so they have their eyes on the surrounding villages and farms." Hao Jiyong said in a deep voice: "There are also people around Chaoyun Farm. A few earthworms linger, and may sneak into the farm at any time to eat people."

"Although there are green stone pavements in the farm to block earthworms, most of the places are still land. If those earthworms insist on getting in, it is not too difficult, so Chaoyun farm is in danger now."

Song Ankang asked: "What does this have to do with you bringing me the medicinal materials from the warehouse?"

"In extraordinary times, the family has special regulations, that is, they can advance more medicinal materials and money for certain warriors, so that they can improve their strength as soon as possible to deal with the current crisis." Hao Jiyong explained: "So I have paid in advance the monthly salary of the owner for the next year, and paid with these medicinal materials, so that the owner can improve his strength as soon as possible, which is allowed by the family regulations."

Song Ankang was stunned, and immediately patted Hao Jiyong's shoulder: "Okay, these medicinal materials came at the right time, but aren't you afraid that doing so will make the farm difficult this year and not be able to pay taxes?"

"I wouldn't have dared to do this before the processing workshop appeared." Hao Jiyong said with a smile: "However, the processing workshop is making a lot of money these days. If there is no accident, paying taxes is definitely enough, so I remembered these Herbs."

"I just heard from Miss Qiushi that the owner of the farm has been obsessed with cultivation during this time, and the farm has encountered earthworms spying on it again, so I brought these medicinal materials."

Song Ankang nodded: "You are courageous and resourceful, you have a flexible mind, and you know how to repay your kindness. It is not in vain for me to take the risk to save you, but the position of warehouse manager is a bit inferior to you. Learn more, and I will have more in the future." A better position for you."

"Thank you, Master Zhuang." Hao Jiyong bowed and saluted.

When Hao Jiyong left, Song Ankang looked at the large package of medicinal materials in front of him with a smile on his face.

Drowsiness meets pillows, that's what they said, so many precious medicinal materials are valuable, even if the processing workshop works day and night, it won't take a long time to earn money.

But what Song Ankang lacks now is time. With the help of these medicinal materials, together with the pills sent by his cheap wife Tang Yelan, he doesn't have to worry about resources in a short time.

If there is no accident, after digesting these medicinal materials and pills, Song Ankang's strength will also break through to the ranks of first-class warriors.

Chapter 040 Fire at the city gate and Chiyu

After receiving a large number of precious medicinal materials from Hao Jiyong, Song Ankang no longer worried so much, and then he can practice and improve with all his strength with peace of mind.

Song Ankang's strength began to grow rapidly again, and the medicinal material processing business of Chaoyun Grange was also getting better and better, and the profits he could earn every day were getting higher and higher day by day.

The second batch of apprentices have been sent out one after another, and they can process more medicinal materials, and the work of collecting medicinal materials is also proceeding smoothly.

Because the purchase price given by Song Ankang was slightly higher than the market price, a large number of medicinal materials were quickly purchased, and not only the basic medicinal materials for processing, but also many follow-up Chaoyun Tianzhuang ready to process medicinal materials.

Even with Hua Chuntang's size, the amount of these basic medicinal materials that can be absorbed is limited, and it should be saturated in about two months. Before that, Chaoyun Farm must open up new sources of income.

In addition, Song Ankang also arranged manpower to contact other pharmacies, and he couldn't entrust all the business to Hua Chuntang.

With so many people in Chaoyun Grange, as more and more people have mastered the deep processing of medicinal materials, more and more medicinal materials can be processed, and sooner or later the supply will exceed demand.

After all, the number of pharmacists in Huachuntang is limited, so they can't use so many basic medicinal materials, and they have to spend a lot of time refining other pills.

Song Ankang handed over these matters to Wang Yuliang. He was mainly responsible for teaching the apprentices in the workshop. He specialized in arts. Song Ankang was not good at management, so it was better to leave it to someone who was good at it.

Of course, this does not rule out the suspicion of laziness. Fortunately, Wang Yuliang's performance is very good, and with Hao Jiyong's assistance, the business of the workshop is getting better and better.

More than 100 people in Chaoyun Tianzhuang have joined the processing workshop, specializing in serving the processing workshop, handling different businesses such as medicinal material processing, medicinal material acquisition, medicinal material transportation, and market development, so that these people have an extra income.

In order to allow all the tenants of Chaoyun Grange to survive this year's difficulties, Song Ankang specially asked Wang Yuliang to recruit one member from each family into the processing workshop, so that everyone has a chance.

As the scale of the processing workshop expands, the subsequent processing workshop will also recruit more tenants into the processing workshop, and even if it reaches a certain level in the future, it may not recruit people from outside Chaoyun Farm.

Of course, Chaoyun Farm has enough manpower at present, and there are even a large number of vacant tenants who hope to enter the processing workshop, so there is no need to recruit apprentices and buddies from outside for the time being.

Song Ankang also gave these tenants who entered the processing workshop generous remuneration, at least in the eyes of these tenants, it was very generous. In fact, more than [-]% of the profits still went into Song Ankang's pockets.

In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Song Ankang specially asked Wang Yuliang to formulate corresponding remuneration levels, and give more rewards to those who perform well and work more seriously and responsibly.

As soon as this system appeared, it immediately caused an uproar in Chaoyun Farm. All the tenants who entered the processing workshop began to work harder and earn more rewards.

In just half a month or so, almost all the family life in Chaoyun Grange has become easier, everyone has renewed hope, and the atmosphere in the farm is getting better day by day.

Even so, everyone still takes a certain amount of time to go outside to pick wild vegetables, weeds and leaves, and save up a little bit, waiting for the arrival of winter.

The industrious and simple tenants of Chaoyun Farm almost didn't waste any time. In order to meet the cold winter in a few months, everyone tried their best to accumulate as many resources as possible.

"The owner's processing workshop is really too much. My boy can earn dozens of copper coins every day, which is enough for our family to use for several days, and he can save a lot."

"Yes, yes, I have never seen such a grand owner in Shili Baxiang. Our youngest daughter is an apprentice in a processing workshop, and she can get nearly a hundred copper coins a day. We all use it to buy food."

"Now that the price of grain is rising day by day, we should stock up on more grain, otherwise we will have to spend several times more to buy it later."

"I think so. These grains can still be stored. If the farm can't pay taxes this year, we can also take some out to the owner for emergency. The owner is so kind to us, and we should also solve the problems for the owner."

"That's right, during this period of time, both the apprentices and the transport workers have damaged a lot of medicinal materials, and even some processed ones. As a result, the owner of the village didn't ask them to compensate, but also paid them full wages. It is a living Bodhisattva."

……

Thanks to the prosperity of the processing workshop, Song Ankang's prestige, status, and reputation in Chaoyun Grange have exploded, and he has faintly become the savior of Chaoyun Grange.

As life gets better and better, many tenants are more grateful and respectful of Song Ankang.

Everything is developing in a positive direction, but this is only in Chaoyun Grange, and outside Chaoyun Grange, more and more villages have fallen into unprecedented panic.

So many days have passed, and there is still no rain. This year's crops will basically not have much harvest, and it is almost hopeless. Many villagers are afraid that they will not even be able to pay their taxes.

Moreover, there is news among the top officials of the imperial court that not only will taxes not be reduced this year, but taxes may also be increased.

At the beginning, many villagers were dissatisfied, but as the reason spread, all the villagers died down.

There is no other reason. This year not only the human race suffered an unprecedented drought, but the biggest enemies of the human race, the angel race and the mermaid race, suffered even more severely. The harvest was less than half of last year's.

In this case, the food of the Angels and Mermaids could not feed the people. In order to survive the crisis, the Angels and Mermaids would definitely launch a war against the Humans and plunder the resources and wealth of the Humans.

A large number of Xia Kingdom's troops have set out on the Celestial-Man Front and the Mermaid Front, and it is possible to start a war with the Angel Race and the Mermaid Race at any time. There are external and internal troubles, and all the people must tighten their belts and pay more taxes. Brace the front lines of war.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay more taxes. The soldiers on the front line cannot be killed for them when they are hungry. It doesn't matter if they are hungry, and the soldiers on the front line cannot be hungry.

It is precisely because of understanding that I am becoming more and more anxious.

Many villages outside Chaoyun Farm are desperately collecting wild vegetables, weeds and leaves, and even venture into places where demons and ghosts are rampant, such as red leaf forests.

Even so, the harvest was getting less and less, and it caused even greater disasters, affecting Chaoyun Grange.

Chapter 041 The sword is presented to the village owner

Some surrounding villages searched the weeds, wild vegetables and leaves of the red leaf forest, which naturally alarmed the ghosts and ghosts hiding inside, and the most numerous of them were beasts and earthworms.

The frightened earthworms rushed out of the red leaf forest in large numbers and frantically attacked the surrounding villagers, resulting in the tragic death of many villagers.

In addition, some villagers who are good at hunting hunted a lot of food for earthworms, and were frightened by the lack of food. Many earthworms hidden in the red leaf forest became irritable.

Although the tenants of Chaoyun Farm did not provoke these earthworms, the fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond, and several earthworms came to the vicinity of Chaoyun Farm and frantically attacked the tenants who came out of the farm.

There was even an earthworm that got into Chaoyun Farm from an unknown hole in the ground, and devoured the tenants in the two farms alive.

There are walls guarding Chaoyun Farm, and the foundations of these walls are ten meters deep into the ground, just to prevent earthworms from invading, because earthworms generally do not penetrate ten meters deep, but unexpectedly there will be accidents.

Outside Chaoyun Farm, several tenants were also swallowed and dragged away by earthworms. In just a few days, nearly ten tenants were killed. This was also a serious blow to Chaoyun Farm.

Song Ankang also came out of the practice room to understand the whole story of this matter.

The earthworm outside Chaoyun Grange is nothing more than that, as long as it doesn’t go out, it’s fine, but the earthworm that entered the Grange through unknown means must be exterminated, otherwise, who knows that Chaoyun Grange will suffer losses in the future How many tenants.

Moreover, it is necessary to find the loopholes in the foundation of the wall as soon as possible, so as to prevent any more earthworms from entering the Chaoyun Farm through the loopholes. Now that the earthworms are rampant outside the Chaoyun Farm, once a few more earthworms enter the Chaoyun Farm, the loss will be huge Yuntianzhuang absolutely cannot afford it.

If too many tenants are lost at that time, Song Ankang will not be able to explain to the family's senior management, and it is very likely that he will lose his position as the owner.

"Have you found the loophole in the foundation of the wall?"

Song Ankang looked at the several farm stewards in front of him, and his eyes fell on Wang Bangzheng, who was in charge of guarding Chaoyun Farm.

Wang Bangzheng came out quickly, with a look of shame on his face: "I have arranged guards to investigate day and night, because the wall is too long, so far only one-third of the investigation has been conducted, and there are still two-thirds that have not been investigated. No loopholes were found on the foundation of the wall.”

"Speed ​​up the investigation to avoid any more earthworms breaking in through the loopholes." Song Ankang said in a condensed voice: "If there is not enough manpower, we can recruit people from other places. One earthworm will make the whole farm panic. If one or two come in, how will the farm respond."

Wang Bangzheng said: "Yes, owner, I will definitely deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"Within three days, the loophole must be found and repaired." Song Ankang gave a death order.

Wang Bangzheng hesitated for a while, and immediately said: "I guarantee it will be completed."

Song Ankang nodded and looked at Wang Yuliang: "As for the earthworm that broke into the farm, I will leave it to Steward Wang. You select elite personnel from all the tenants, especially those hunters who have dealt with earthworms before. Kill this earthworm as soon as possible."

"If someone is killed by earthworms, give their family members three times the pension, and arrange a place for their family members in the processing workshop. People must not die in vain."

"I remember." Wang Yu nodded with a serious look on his face.

After arranging the two most important things, Song Ankang looked at Hao Jiyong and said, "Everything in the processing workshop remains the same, but when arranging people to go out to buy medicinal materials and sell processed medicinal materials, you must be careful and careful. My car The carriage can withstand the attack of earthworms, so let them use it temporarily, and we must ensure their safety."

"How can this work? That carriage is the only means of travel for the owner. What did they use for the owner?" Hao Jiyong immediately objected: "And the people in the processing workshop will go together every time they go out. Earthworms generally don't Dare to deal with so many people, basically there is no danger."

Song Ankang shook his head and said: "I don't need it during this time, it's better to add an additional insurance, this matter is settled, you should deal with it as soon as possible, don't waste time."

Before Hao Jiyong and others could speak again, Song Ankang returned to the small courtyard to continue his practice and improve his strength.

Only with sufficient strength can one be able to deal with any danger. Even being anxious is useless. It is better to practice for a while, and it will be easier to deal with earthworms later.

But before dealing with the earthworms, there was one more thing to do, and that was to find a handy weapon.

In the evening, while Jiang Yunhe was practicing, Song Ankang left the small courtyard and came to the blacksmith Ma Jingang of Chaoyun Farm.

Ma Jingang is the best blacksmith in Chaoyun Farm, and he basically makes all kinds of weapons in the village, including some fine steel long swords.

Song Ankang wanted to buy a fine steel long sword to deal with the earthworm that was making trouble in Chaoyun Farm.

Ma Jingang has a hulking back, a very burly figure, and his strength has reached the third level of external training, which is only half a step away from the fourth level of external training.

Hearing Song Ankang's intention to come, Ma Jingang's eyes flashed: "The owner of the village bought the steel long sword, is it because of the earthworm that sneaked into the farm?"

"There are also reasons for this. Earthworms come and go quickly, and fists and feet are difficult to deal with. A fine steel long sword can ensure your own safety." Song Ankang did not tell Ma Jingang that he was going to deal with this earthworm, but said Used for self-defense.

But seeing Song Ankang coming here alone, Ma Jingang was somewhat suspicious. After pondering for a while, Ma Jingang walked into the backyard and came out after a while, holding a long sword in a scabbard in his hand.

"Since it is what the owner needs, how can a fine steel long sword be worthy of the identity of the owner? This is my family's ancestral black iron sword, which is mixed with some black iron. Please accept it." Ma Jingang Respectfully handed the black iron sword to Song Ankang.

Black iron sword?

Song Ankang's eyes lit up, he quickly took it, and pulled out the black iron sword.

"Qiang..."

The sword light is bright and dazzling, it is definitely a sword that cuts iron like mud.
