Chapter 4 Temporary Guards
"Brother, you want to be a temporary guard?" Lu Yizhou said in surprise after hearing this.
After all, in his opinion, someone as young as Zhou Yu who looks like a young man should not be like someone who does such a thing.
"Why, can't it be done?"
"Okay, naturally, there are still five temporary guards missing. As long as your cultivation level reaches the late stage of Qi Training Realm, you can apply. The higher your cultivation level, the higher the reward will naturally be."
"But at most, there are only a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. In addition, the shipping fee is reduced. This fellow Taoist must think carefully." Lu Yizhou reminded.
After all, shops like theirs that specialize in inn work usually have their own guards, but in order to ensure safety as much as possible, they set up the position of temporary guards.
Firstly, it is to enhance the safety level of the spirit boat, and secondly, it can also attract the attention of some powerful but cash-poor experts, so it should be a good relationship.
After all, this kind of medium-sized spirit boat can transport nearly a hundred people at a time. It doesn't matter if one or two less fares are paid. It mainly relies on helping some large stores to transport supplies.
"I am at the tenth level of Qi training. I wonder if I am qualified to be this guard?" As he said that, Zhou Yu immediately released part of his cultivation aura.
Lu Yizhou only had a slight perception and his mind was focused. He had only practiced at the seventh level of Qi Realm. Although he could not tell Zhou Yu's exact cultivation level, the aura leaking from the other party at this moment was indeed much stronger than him.
"I can't believe that Fellow Taoist is so beautiful. I'm here, Lu Yizhou. If Fellow Daoist is sincere in being a temporary guard, please come with me." After saying that, Lu Yizhou moved to the side and motioned for Zhou Yu to follow him into the shop.
Thinking about it, after registering in that store, you can officially obtain the position of temporary guard of Lu's Inn.
After a cup of tea, Zhou Yu walked out of the shop. The difference from before was that he had a medium-sized temporary guard plate with Lu's Inn painted on it in his hand.
After deducting the shipping fee for this trip, I can earn an additional 70 low-grade spiritual stones. However, these spiritual stones can only be given after arriving in Lianyunxian City.
When boarding the ship, only 30% will be paid in advance.
But for Zhou Yu, he was quite satisfied. After all, not only could he ride for free this time, but he could also earn some extra spiritual stones.
"But, Brother Lu, is it possible that we will meet the Blood Cloud Thieves when we travel?" After agreeing on a time to board the ship, Zhou Yu asked curiously before leaving.
"Now that Fellow Daoist Lu has become the bodyguard of our Lu clan, even if it is temporary, I will tell you some things before departure even if you don't ask." Hearing Zhou Yu's inquiry, Lu Yizhou's expression changed.
Become solemn.
"The journey to Lianyun Immortal City is already long. It is not unusual for one or two blind bandits to appear. But usually, even if these bandits take action, they will not choose the spirit boats like us."
"But a year ago, for some unknown reason, there suddenly appeared a group of bandits who called themselves the Blood Cloud Bandits. This group of people was extremely brutal in their methods. They specifically selected small spirit boats or monks traveling alone to attack."
"Although I, Mr. Lu, are not afraid, I still have to strengthen some of the security forces just in case. If Fellow Daoist Zhou is worried, it is still too late to withdraw now, but it will not be possible if we wait until we officially board the ship."
"Although I, Mr. Lu, don't have too many requirements for temporary guards, once I encounter a bandit, when I can't do anything, my fellow Taoist suddenly regrets not taking action. I, Mr. Lu, will not sit idly by and ignore it afterwards." Lu Yizhou said.
He said with a serious face.
After all, if you don't have some skills, you won't be able to do this kind of transportation station work.
"Of course, if the attacker is too powerful, I, the Lu family, will have no problem if my fellow Taoist leaves first, and I will not blame him afterwards."
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for reminding me. Since I have taken over the position of temporary guard, there is no reason to retreat. After all, the shipping fee is not cheap." Zhou Yu said with a smile after hearing this.
"In that case, let's meet again in ten days."
"See you in ten days." After hearing this, Zhou Yu cupped his hands and turned to leave.
An hour later, Zhou Yu found an inn in Jingling Xianfang and stayed there.
"Blood Cloud Bandits, this group of bandits must have gained such a great reputation in such a short period of time, so they must be quite powerful." Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhou Yu thought to himself as he recalled what Lu Yizhou had said before.
For this group of thieves, it would be better if they didn't show up. If they did show up, Zhou Yu would not be lenient. After all, his current storage bag was quite deflated.
A group of bandits who specifically target small spirit boats and lone travelers are not that strong at all.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Yu was alerted, but he quickly put it aside for the time being and began to practice the Liquor Spirit Mantra.
Although this curse has certain side effects, they can be ignored in the presence of Drunk Immortal Brew. On the contrary, once practiced, it can become his trump card in times of crisis.
Speaking of the trump card, when he went to the Shenmu Secret Realm that day, his uncle Wang Ziyang left three Taoist Realm Fire Sword Qi in his Fire Sword Flag.
However, after the Five Elements Sword Box was obtained, these three fire sword qi merged into one and were warmed up in the sword box. After all, the Five Elements Sword Box itself had the effect of storing swords and nourishing qi.
In terms of power, this Fire Sword Qi has been tempered for three years, and with its original power, it is probably comparable to a full blow from a monk in the late Daoji realm.
After taking out the Zuixian Brew, there was a sudden surge of spicy and sweet wine, which quickly began to be refined in the body.
As the wine entered his throat, Zhou Yu immediately followed the method recorded in the Liquor Spirit Mantra and began to use the alcohol to stimulate many acupuncture points in his body, thus achieving the effect of warming and nourishing the body.
At the same time, the toughness of the meridians is also continuously improved during this period.
The reason why the Liquor Spirit Spell puts less load on the body after it is cast is that the body needs to be constantly warmed and nourished by the spirit wine.
In this way, after taking the Drunken Immortal Brew and casting the Liquor Spirit Spell, you can greatly enhance the increase in your cultivation while reducing the load on your own body.
Ten days flew by in the blink of an eye.
For the past ten days, Zhou Yu has been practicing the Liquor Spirit Mantra in seclusion in the inn.
Maybe it was because in the past few years, every time Feng Buping accompanied him to drink and eat, Feng Buping would give him and Feng a small bottle of spiritual wine to help them temper their bodies.
Therefore, even though it only took ten days, Zhou Yu practiced this wine spell very smoothly.
Ten days later, after half of the spirit wine in the wine gourd was consumed, Zhou Yu had successfully practiced the first level of the wine spirit spell.
As for the second level, in Zhou Yu's opinion, at least ten wine gourds worth of spiritual wine are needed to successfully practice it.
Just drinking can make him stronger, which is not a burden to him.
