The door was pushed open, and the visitor was none other than Uncle Fu.

He came to report on gains from yesterday.

The main harvests were three: horses, silver, and ironware. Thirty horses, thirty-seven taels of silver, eighty-one pieces of ironware.

Besides these... clothes, accessories, and other miscellaneous items were also not in shortage. If converted into money, it would also amount to several hundred wen.

The harvest can be said to be immense, ordinary peasants working hard for their entire lives under the sun would struggle to see this much wealth.

No wonder some people become bandits.

With this, the food problem of Black River Village can be temporarily solved, and with surplus iron weapons distributed to everyone, the combat capabilities are further enhanced.

Li Xian pondered for a moment and then said:

"Uncle Fu, take the acquired silver to buy grains, replace the fishing nets with iron nets, iron shields. As for these thirty horses, leave them to me."

...

...

Under Yihetang Manor, there are farms, mulberry fields, livestock, and commerce, many industries.

The lady rarely appears but she is a master of governance and management.

Everything is managed in an orderly manner.

To the southwest of the manor, there is a Ma Village, which also belongs to the lady's business. Li Xian has patrolled this area, chatted briefly with the staff and stewards of Ma Village, and became a familiar face.

He has a rough idea of the horse market.

Generally, horses are worth about two taels of silver. If the bloodline is pure, it can go up further, but absolutely not exceeding five taels.

If it's an exotic breed, that's a different story.

It is said that in places like Prefecture City, noblemen's mounts are varied and not just horses. But such a level is too far removed for Li Xian.

"Elder Li, good morning, you're patrolling here again today?"

The steward of Ma Village saw Li Xian, smiled and ran out, waving a greeting.

"Oh, you're not bringing a team this time? Why are you alone?"

The steward glanced back twice, surprised to see only Li Xian by himself.

"Steward Liu, long time no see." Li Xian smiled.

"Yes, it's been a while since you patrolled here. Please come over, let's have tea under the tent."

This steward surnamed Liu, middle-aged and slightly plump. It can be seen that managing this Ma Village, he is living quite well.

"No need for tea, I'm not here for patrol this time." Li Xian got straight to the point, "I'm here to do business."

"Ah?!" Steward Liu was taken aback.

"Call some workers, follow me." Li Xian gestured. Although Steward Liu did not understand, he couldn't refuse due to cordiality and as a B-class Nursing Home guardian, not easy to mess with, they're excellent in several aspects of martial arts.

Then he called three workers, and together they followed. Turning into a piece of forest, they saw under the trees, dozens of horses standing.

Li Xian said:

"Steward Liu, these horses are entrusted by someone for me to sell to the manor."

"Specifically who, what is the circumstance, it's best not to ask. After all... we're just people doing things, as long as the process complies with the manor's regulations, why know too much?"

"Just give the price for horses as the manor does."

Steward Liu nodded, "I understand, I understand." Immediately going forward to check the quality of the horses.

"The horses are rather thin, fur curled, appearance average."

"Hoof deformity, quite coarse horse raising methods. Elder Li, that person might be a bandit, hahaha."

Steward Liu casually laughed.

"You're exactly right." Li Xian thought to himself.

"I roughly checked, a horse... hmm... the price is one tael eight hundred wen. Elder, do you think that master might have any opinion?" Steward Liu asked cautiously.

Li Xian shook his head, "He said as long as the price is reasonable, whether high or low, it doesn't matter."

Li Xian actually wanted to raise the price. But at this talk, it's just a waste of time, raising suspicion, might as well leave it less.

Because they're all acquaintances, handing over horses for money is quite convenient. Fifty-four taels of silver smoothly credited.

Dozens of taels of silver already require a rather large cloth bag to pack. Holding it in hand feels terribly heavy.

"Now counting, I have sixty taels worth."

"It's a pity..."

"I have a life that can't hold onto money."

Li Xian hadn't warmed the money yet before heading to nearby "Ziyun County".

The counties under jurisdiction of Qiong Heavenly Mansion aren't very different. The folkways are similar, just the layout of streets slightly differs.

"Money must be spent wisely."

"That fifth master is a heaven's pet undergoing transformation, strength yet unknown, before he arrives, adequate preparations must be made."

Although he just arrived in this county, he already has some Jianghu experience, so he headed straight to the "Pill Pavilion" in the county.

Naturally, to buy elixirs to deal with strong enemies!

The Pill Pavilion is set with various bottles and jars, various elixirs of different effects.

Those entering and exiting are all martial artists.

Li Xian wasn't in a hurry to buy elixirs, rare to go out, more willing to look around.

"Shopkeeper, do you have Jade Skin Pill?"

Suddenly a clear sound is heard.

A remarkably handsome white horse stopped outside.

A girl dressed in fox-fur cloak, with fair skin, extremely beautiful features, lips red as cherry entered the pavilion, and her voice reached before she even entered.

"Jade Skin Pill?"

"Honored lady, our house is small temple, running a small business, can't catch your eye."

The Pill Pavilion's shopkeeper promptly grinned and approached. If usually, his words would be thinly veiled sarcasm causing discomfort, but now he was genuinely sincere, wholly praising.

"This girl's origin is extraordinary." Li Xian thought.

Jade Skin Pill is a Rare Treasure Pill.

In the world, elixir items are divided into three grades, low-grade Mortal Miscellaneous Elixirs, middle-grade Rare Treasure Pills, high-grade Rare Divine Pills.

Within Mortal Miscellaneous Elixirs, there are distinctions of advantage and disadvantage. Within Rare Treasure Pills, further differentiation into nine grades.

There are myriad paths in Martial Arts, as vast as the sea. Eating, nurturing, practicing, soaking... each word contains profound knowledge.

Li Xian overheard the Rare Treasure Pill "Jade Skin Pill" from Pang Long's mouth. This pill is like emerald jade, exudes a faint fragrance.

Traditionally favored by women. Consuming it can enhance looks, give a clean fragrance to the body, expel body impurities, within a certain period, not be contaminated by grains impurities.

Also has immense benefits to Martial Arts.

The lady herself likes to consume this pill, preserving her flawless, immaculate jade body.

"Still don't have it?" The fox-fur girl frowned, muttered, "It must at least be Rare Treasure Pill, only then suitable as a gift to the lady."

Li Xian heard the word [lady], and grew curious.

The fox-fur girl asked again, "Then may I ask, are there other Rare Treasure Pills here?"

"Yes, there are." The shopkeeper brought a Jade Silk Box, "This is Overturning River Pill, a ninth-grade Rare Treasure Pill. Look..."

Before he finished, the girl waved her hand, "Alas, such inferior pills, what use do I have for them."

"Is there anything better?"

"No... no more." The shopkeeper helplessly said, "Honored lady, you must be from the Prefecture City, here, it's very difficult to obtain Rare Treasure Pills. Truly can't satisfy you, please understand."

"Alas."

The girl sighed and rode away, without glancing at the surrounding people. Only leaving a fragrant breeze lingering at noses.

"Don't look anymore."

"Hey, you all, stop thinking. I see you're not very knowledgeable, might as well tell you."

"Just now that honorable lady, her sachet is worth seven hundred taels of silver, named 'Seven-Turn Immortal Tea Fragrance'. You take a whiff, hey, that's considered fortunate from the past life."

"And that lady's coat, boots. Any piece, that price... enough to buy my Pill Pavilion."

"She, now that's high nobility. Even the air she breathes isn't qualified for us to breathe."

The shopkeeper joyfully said. Taking pride in having talked with such a person.

Li Xian watched her ride away.

Riding through Jianghu... eating treasures, enjoying rare pills. Judging by age, she's no different from him, yet at least at the [Food Essence] stage.

It seems people like that are true Jianghu figures.

Now, his eating and dressing are fine, but life is threatened.

When can he, like others, freely travel Jianghu?

"It seems there are guests at the manor again."
