In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 303 Get rich!

Hey!

Liu Yi cursed inwardly. Wei Wu Escort Agency was a large and powerful organization; he really couldn't compete with Wei Jing.

but……

Liu Yi's eyes darted around, and he said, "120 taels each, I only want three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of astonishment appeared on Wei Jing's face.

The other martial artists' eyes lit up!

That's right! Zhang He didn't say that all 20 chickens had to be bought at once, which means they could have bought one or two chickens at a time.

They can't afford to buy 20 in a pack, but surely they can afford one or two?

“I’ll offer 120 taels of silver for each one, just one.”

"120 taels, give me two."

"I'll have two too!"

"..."

Soon, everyone spoke up, choosing to buy 1 to 3 Blood Feather Chickens at 120 taels, just like Liu Yi.

Upon seeing this, Wei Jing's face darkened.

Zhang He glanced at Wei Jing, and seeing that he didn't bid again, he said to Skinny Monkey, "Skinny Monkey, bring chickens to our distinguished guests!"

"Yes!"

Skinny Monkey suppressed his excitement and handed one blood-feathered chicken after another to Liu Yi and the other martial artists, then collected money from them.

Soon, most of the 20 blood-feathered chickens were sold.

Zhang He's eyes darted around, and he looked at Wei Jing, saying, "Chief Escort Wei, there are still 8 Blood Feather Chickens left. I wonder if you..."

"100 taels each, I'll take the rest!"

"Good good!"

Zhang He immediately handed over the remaining 8 Blood Feather Chickens to Wei Jing, because Wei Jing did not have that much silver with him and needed to send someone to pay him after he returned.

However, Zhang He was not in a hurry. With Magistrate Li Qingyun in charge, he was not afraid that Wei Jing would renege on his debt.

"Your Excellency, we shall take our leave now!"

Having obtained the Blood Feather Chicken, Liu Yi and the others were clearly eager to go back and experience its effects, and they all took their leave.

After receiving Li Qingyun's approval, everyone left.

"Ha ha!"

After everyone left, Skinny Monkey burst into laughter: "Brother Zhang, we're rich!"

"Great! We've struck it rich!"

Zhang He was also overjoyed.

Seeing this, Li Qingyun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Zhang, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it?"

"Magistrate Li, please speak."

"What's your purchase price for these blood-feathered chickens?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang He paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "To be honest, Magistrate Li, the purchase price for this Blood Feather Chicken is... only 20 taels of silver!"

"!!!"

Exclamation marks appeared on Li Qingyun's forehead. A blood-feathered chicken that cost 20 taels of silver was being resold for 120 taels?!

This business is beyond profitable; it's practically robbery!

Li Qingyun even had a thought: Should I also do this kind of thing? There's no way around it, the profits are just too astonishing. A blood-feathered chicken transported from Taiping County can earn 100 taels of silver in a single transaction. Li Qingyun has never seen such an easy business with such high profits.

Zhang He took out one hundred taels of silver from the silver he had received and said, "Please accept this one hundred taels of silver, Magistrate Li!"

Li Qingyun gave Zhang He a deep look and said, "Brother Zhang, are you perhaps trying to put me in a disadvantageous position?"

Zhang He quickly shook his head and said, "Magistrate Li has helped me so much, I must do something to show my appreciation. This is something Magistrate Xu specifically told me to do before I set off."

"Very well! Then I shall accept your offer without further ado!"

After a moment's hesitation, Li Qingyun decided to accept the money. He had no vested interest in Zhang He, so the money wasn't exactly a bribe, and accepting it wouldn't go against his conscience.

"lady."

As night deepened, Liu Yi, who had returned home, hurriedly said to his wife, "Quickly kill this chicken and get me its blood."

Liu Yi's wife glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any questions. Instead, she went into the kitchen, cut the throat of the blood-feathered chicken to bleed it, and soon brought out the chicken blood.

Looking at the thick chicken blood in the bowl, Liu Yi felt a surge of excitement.

He had personally experienced the miraculous effects of this chicken blood, and he was absolutely certain that this bowl of chicken blood could help him increase his cultivation, and even... break through to the eighth rank in one fell swoop!

"Madam, go and cook the chicken."

After instructing his wife to cook chicken in the kitchen, Liu Yi tilted his head back and drank the chicken blood in the bowl in one gulp.

As the chicken blood passed through his throat and entered his stomach, a surge of heat immediately rose in Liu Yi's lower abdomen, and then this surging heat spread throughout his entire body!

"That's what it feels like!"

Liu Yi's eyes lit up, and he felt his blood and energy surge, his skin turning red, giving him a feeling of boundless energy.

The next moment, Liu Yi immediately got up and began practicing his family's martial art, the Peak-Crushing Palm.

"call!"

Half an hour later, Liu Yi exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes becoming even brighter!

"The merchant from Taiping County didn't lie to me. This chicken blood is indeed incredibly effective. Just one bowl of chicken blood loosened up my bottleneck!"

Liu Yi's eyes were burning with determination. Although he had not yet broken through to the eighth rank, he had already taken one step in. He had a premonition that he would break through in less than three days and become a true eighth-rank martial artist!

"It's a pity we can't buy all 20 Bloodfeather Chickens!"

Liu Yi sighed with some regret. The effects of the Blood Feather Chicken were far better than those of medicinal herbs. If he could buy all 20 Blood Feather Chickens, reaching the peak of the eighth rank would probably not be a dream!

Unfortunately……

The county magistrate invited too many martial artists today, including a chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) like Wei Jing, whose strength and wealth are astonishing, which resulted in him only being able to buy 3 Blood Feather Chickens.

"Fortunately, these three Blood Feather Chickens are enough to help me break through to the eighth rank!"

Liu Yi felt much relieved. After eating the chicken his wife had cooked, he went to sleep with a feeling of excitement.

…………

.........

"I'll stop here. Magistrate Li, please wait!"

Outside the city gate, Zhang He stopped and bowed to Li Qingyun, who had escorted him out of the city: "Thank you for your hospitality and help over the past two days, Magistrate Li!"

This morning, Zhang He had already received the payment from Wei Jing, and now it was time for him to return.

"Very well! When you arrive in Taiping County, please give my regards to Brother Xu."

Li Qingyun stopped and watched with Elder Xiang as Zhang He and the others disappeared from sight.

"Brother Zhang."

The donkey cart traveled along the somewhat desolate official road. Skinny Monkey looked around and couldn't help but ask, "We've made so much money this time, how much of it will we get?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang He calculated in his mind that the 300 yellow-feathered chickens earned a total of 120 taels of silver, while the 20 blood-feathered chickens earned 1840 taels, for a total profit of 1960 taels.

According to the profit sharing he agreed upon with Li Hu and Xu Zhiwen, he could get 30% of the profit, which is 588 taels, nearly 600 taels of silver!

"We can get about 600 taels of silver!"

The moment Zhang He announced the number, everyone's eyes widened and they were stunned!
