Beiyin Great Sage

The inner city is still bustling.

It seems that the chaos in the outer city no longer exists.

The high city wall divides the inner and outer cities into two worlds.

On the street, passers-by have already changed into thick cotton-padded clothes, looking relaxed and contented, walking around various shops with their families, discussing what to stockpile for the cold moon.

When people from outside the city are struggling desperately to survive the cold moon, their sweets, meat, and drinks are all indispensable.

Ancient hammer shop.

The area of ​​more than [-] square meters is not too large.

The rammed ground, the ore piled up in a mess, and all kinds of weapons and axes are placed in a mess, and the blazing high temperature emerges from the furnace.

Several burly half-elves were busy in the shop, shouting loudly mixed with the sound of beating weapons, making people's ears buzzing.

"So big!"

Rondo held the Lei Yuanshi in his hand, showing surprise on his face:

"It's more than enough to fit into the axe."

"Really?" Zhou Jia felt relieved:

"Enough is enough."

Originally thought that Lei Yuanshi was only the size of a fist, and the ax was as big as a washbasin, maybe not enough, but now it seems that I was too worried.

"Absolutely enough!" Rondo nodded:

"Even if it is fused into another weapon, it is enough, but the activity of this thing is too low. If you want to smelt it, it will not be possible for a while."

"Oh!" Zhou Jia frowned:

"how long it takes?"

"However, it will take a month..." Rondo pursed his lips and said:

"I forgot, the cold moon is coming soon. During the cold moon, the temperature of the furnace will drop, and the progress of smelting will be affected. One month is probably enough."

"so long?"

"It's not too long. How can a high-grade weapon be successfully forged?"

Rondo shook his head:

"Your ax is originally made of good material. After it is integrated into the Lei Yuanshi, it may be like chopping vegetables and melons even if you are a seventh-rank master."

"I would like to borrow your good words." Zhou Jia cupped his hands, thought for a while, and said:

"You said, the remaining things can be integrated into a weapon?"

Saying that, he stretched out the shield in his hand:

"This, okay?"

Chapter 049 The Great Perfection

"Poor poor child, give him a stutter!"

"Strong man, do you have enough rations in your family? If the strong man is willing to take the slave family through the cold moon, let the slave family do whatever they want!"

"Shopkeeper, do you still have any shortage of people there? I don't want wages, I just need to share more of the original food."

"My son is young and strong. Which good family in the inner city is willing to take him in? We can sign a slave bond, and we will be slaves for the rest of our lives and never betray us!"

"Live..."

Every time the cold moon comes, this kind of situation will actually happen in Huojiabao.

It's just that although there were in previous years, it was not like this time. Almost half of the huge market was selling people's bodies in exchange for their lives.

At this time, the complex human nature is often revealed.

The Kane family, the Qian family, the Fish and Dragon Society, the Liuren Hall in the inner city...

These big forces have hoarded a large amount of food in advance, and this is a good time for the lions to open their mouths and sweep up goods at low prices in the market.

They not only bought weapons and rare objects at low prices, but also people and slaves.

This time of year is when they make a move.

Over time, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

It is becoming more and more difficult for the poor to stand up!

Zhou Jia was walking on the street, walking forward with a dull head.

Even though he had experienced it once, he still had difficulty adapting to this environment, so he hurried back to the tree house and closed the door for self-isolation.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Zhou...Brother Zhou." The person who spoke had rough skin and slightly dark complexion, rubbing his hands nervously, and said cautiously:

"Can you sell me some food?"

The 1.8-meter-nine man blushed when he spoke, and a little girl was hiding behind the man, her big watery eyes were full of fear.

"Brother Lu." Zhou Jia was slightly stunned. He knew the man in front of him. Lu Youwei, a worker in the market, had a fourth-rank cultivation, and lived frugally to raise a daughter. The tree house was nearby:

"You don't have enough?"

"It was enough." Lu Youwei sighed:

"But after paying the salary, it is not enough."

Zhou Jia was silent, paused and said:

"Aren't you going to the market to ask?"

"I'm going." Lu Youwei looked up, eyes full of confusion:

"I planned to sell all the things at home, but...but the money they gave was too little, even if it was exchanged for food, it would not be enough."

"There is a loan, but I need my daughter as collateral."

"Do you know Erica?"

"Yeah." Zhou Jia nodded, a woman with a bit of a pungent personality, the tree house is not very far from here, and I haven't seen it much recently.

"She just mortgaged herself and survived a cold month, but she has been paying off her debts for a year and a half, and she has no money this year." Lu Youwei looked into the distance, and his tone was calm, without much ups and downs, just like It's another common thing:

"This time, she sold herself to the Fish and Dragon Society for the worst business."

"I don't care, but I don't want my daughter to end up like her."

Zhou Jia looked at the little girl, and said in a low voice:

"I don't have much food."

"A little, just a little." Hearing that Zhou Jia's tone was a little loose, Lu Youwei's eyes brightened, and his body trembled slightly with excitement:

"As long as it's cheaper than the market, I can exchange things from home!"

Close the door.

Zhou Jia squeezed a few origin stones in his hand.

It's heavy, it seems to be heavier than Lei Yuanshi.

This world...

Hey!

……

Name: Zhou Jia

Cultivation level: mortal rank six (1931/8000)

Origin Star: Tianyingxing (Trait: Soldier), Earth Star (Trait: Violence)

Gongfa: proficiency in three-element Zhengfa (27/800)

武技：盾反圆满（999／1000）、盾击精通（460／500）、劈风斧法圆满（121／1600）、纳尔秘息术熟练（61／500）、夺命剑熟练（764／1000）、怒雷斧熟练（789／1500）、三身步入门（175／600）

The Three-Yuan Zhengfa has finally broken through the entry stage and reached the level of proficiency. Daily practice can also increase a little more experience than before.

But a pity.

It is still far away to break through the sixth grade cutting marrow.

On the contrary, the wind splitting ax technique has reached the perfection state, and its power has greatly increased. It is also the second martial skill to achieve perfection after the shield counterattack.

Secret breath technique, three-body step, this kind of method that is not within the scope of the blessing of the soldiers, the progress is still slow.

"Ugh..."

The cold wind is howling outside, and the ax wind is stirring inside the house.

During this time, many things happened in Huojiabao.

The people in the barony finally left, and the few who didn't leave gradually blended in.

People in the outer city killed, fought for food, and even some dared to resist. In short, there was no time to stop.

Until the cold moon comes.

The outer city is littered with bones.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhou Jia.

He planned to take advantage of the cold moon to practice at least one of the two high-level martial arts in his hands to the stage of proficiency.

Proficiency means great accomplishment of martial arts, blending into the physical body, turning into instinct, and it is only one step away from the perfect state of perfection.

Looking at the Fish and Dragon Association, it seems that there are only elders, hall masters, and a few deacons who can practice high-level martial arts to the level of proficiency.

And they, without exception, are all masters of the eighth rank and even upward!

To survive in this world, strength is fundamental.

"Wow!"

The wind of the ax whistled, and there was a faint thunder.

"Shh!"

With a light wave of the shield, the strong wind that escaped around immediately dispersed in all directions.

"Ok?"

Zhou Jia was taken aback, and subconsciously stopped what he was doing.

Just now, he seemed to have opened his mind, and many previous skills about shield and counterattack came to his mind, and he suddenly had a clear understanding.

The thought turned.

really!

On the Sea of ​​Consciousness Light Curtain, Dunfan's description has changed.

Shield anti Dzogchen!

There is no number at the back, but the perfect is changed to great perfect, which seems to indicate that there is no room for improvement in this martial skill.

The last few experiences of the shield, it seems that it is stuck, it has not improved for a long time, and it is unexpected to break through today.

"Dzogchen!"

Zhou Jia's eyes flickered, and he suddenly swung the ax in his hand.

This ax was borrowed from Duolong, and it weighed 93 jin. It was driven by a huge force to spin and fly out, and then slashed in a circle with a roar.

Facing the incoming ax blade, Zhou Jia raised his shield lightly.

Shields, likewise borrowed.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound.

At the point where the ax blade and the shield touched, a layer of ripples appeared steeply, and the invisible force vibrated the air, causing the ax to return at a faster speed.
