Chapter 4117 Even the Northwest Wind Provides Enough to Fill You Up

Old Li, who had swindled us out of our money, was in a great mood. He said he would teach me the method of drawing talismans in the air tomorrow, and then he left with the money.

Old Li didn't go far; instead, he climbed over the wall and went off with Old Zhang and Eighth Master to do something else.

As soon as the three old men left, the disheveled Taoist priest, supporting his back, limped towards us, saying with a mournful face, "Old Wu, don't you care about your master? He always cheated you out of your money before, how come this time he won't even spare us? He cheated each of us out of thirty million! Is there no law? Is there no justice?"

"Luo Laoliu, do you even listen to human language? My butt is all bruised and battered, and you expect me to care about him?" I rolled my eyes at the slovenly Taoist priest.

"This kid is in dire straits, barely able to save himself. I must say, experience is the best teacher. Back in the Netherworld, the show that Senior Li put on was so moving, I never realized it was all a scheme by him. He deliberately said he'd be back in six months so we could sell the stolen goods quickly so he could collect the debt. In the end, we couldn't win against him, so we had to accept our loss." Zhang Qing'an sighed.

"Aren't we asking for trouble? If I had known earlier, we wouldn't have listened to Qianggen. It's so expensive. Just listen to Qianggen for 30 million, and we got a beating." The sloppy Taoist priest really wanted to cry without tears.

"Brothers, you've all seen this. I'm penniless, dirt poor, and I don't even have food for tomorrow. Look..."

I was thinking of borrowing some money from them to use first, but as soon as I said that, everyone turned their heads away.

"Chilang, look how bright the sun is today," Brother Gu said, pointing to the sky.

“Yes, Brother Gu, it’s a bit dazzling,” Chi Lang chimed in.

Why doesn't the sun blind you? They've all lost their conscience.

"Hey, Xiao Jie, I have to hurry home. My son's sow is about to give birth, I need to go check on it. I'm off now..." With that, Zhang Qing'an was the first to run towards the door.

"Old Wu, I have to go too. I need to go with Senior Zhang to check on their old sow..." The slovenly Taoist priest turned and ran.

Brother Gu and Chi Lang didn't even bother with a perfunctory response and ran off with the slovenly Taoist priest.

Then, I looked pitifully at Kasang. Kasang paused for a moment, then walked towards me and said, "Brother Wu, let me tell you a way. If you're hungry, just stand on the courtyard wall, open your mouth wide, and the northwest wind will fill you up."

With that, Kassan vanished into the void.

Yuan Kong walked straight towards me, took out some money from his pocket, and came to my side: "Brother Wu, I didn't share any money. I still have some left, three thousand yuan. I kept some for my train ticket back to Nanjing, and the rest is yours."

It has to be Yuan Kong, he knows how to care for people. I put my arm around Yuan Kong's shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "Yuan Kong, keep this money, don't take it out. It hurts me to take your money. Be good, you should go too."

"Then I'm off." Yuan Kong smiled and walked out of the courtyard.

When I went to look for Little Fatty, I found that he had already disappeared without a trace; I didn't even know when he left.

That fat bastard, if you've got the guts, don't come back to the courtyard house. If you do, I'll break his legs.

Although I lost the money, Old Li promised to teach me the art of drawing talismans in the void, so it wasn't too bad. Most importantly, I still had a lot of medicine made from the leaves of the Zhaoyao tree. If I sold these medicines, I could easily make a small fortune from just one bag.

But this thing can't be sold; we need to keep it for future life-saving purposes.

After those shameless bastards left, my master went home the next day and began to teach me the art of drawing talismans in the void.

This method is indeed quite difficult, requiring a very deep foundation of cultivation, and it must be used in conjunction with the Xuanzhen Wuyuan Gong.

I studied with my master for three days and was barely able to condense a void barrier, but I could shatter it with a single sword strike.

My master told me that when I become stronger, I will be able to instantly condense more than a dozen void barriers, and my talisman arrows will also instantly transform into more than a dozen, with terrifying destructive power.

I'm just a beginner now, but I'll get much better gradually. After a while, I'll see results.

After teaching me this technique of drawing talismans in the air, Old Li said he had to go on a long trip and might not be back for a while.

I was a little worried and asked him if he might come back for another surprise attack.

Old Li turned around and glared at me: "You need money to make your teacher turn the tables. If you don't have money, what are you talking about? I'm leaving."

As he spoke, Old Li's figure flickered and he disappeared without a trace.

So, he came back specifically to extort money from me, and once he got the money, he went to find the young widow.

After Master left, only Little Fatty and I were left at home.

I'm broke anyway, so Little Fatty will cover all my expenses when we go out.

In addition, I also told Uncle Hu to hurry up and find me some work, preferably big business, because I'm terribly poor right now.

Uncle Hu said that he has been getting fewer business offers lately, mainly because he is often not home. People who are eager to hire him have gone to find others since they can't wait for him.

My departure caused a lot of business disruptions, so it seems I should try to avoid going out and having fun in the future.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered something: the Nine Cloud Compass of the Immortal Wuwei was still on me, and I had to return it to the Immortal Wuwei as soon as possible.

I felt a little uneasy going to that island alone, so I called Bai Zhan to ask if Wuwei Zhenren was still on that island.

Bai Zhan told me that Master Wuwei had already gone on a journey, and that he would come to Yanbei in a few days. He asked me to give him the Nine Cloud Compass, which he would then pass on to Master Wuwei.

That's fine too. I don't even have the money to go to Penglai. It's such a far place, and I don't really want to go alone.

After dealing with this matter, I remembered something else: I needed to find Tang Shangning. When I left, I said goodbye to Tang Shangning and told him that I would give him two leaves of the Zhaoyao tree once I found them. Now the leaves are gone, but I can give him a medicine packet.

But this stuff can't be given away for free; we have to get some profit out of Old Tang.

With that in mind, I wandered off to the Yanbei Special Investigation Team's compound and knocked on his office door.

"Come in," came Tang Shangning's voice from inside the room.

I arrived at the perfect time; he happened to be here today.

After pushing open the door, I immediately said with a smile, "Uncle Tang, it's been quite a while since we last met. Did you miss me?"

Tang Shangning looked up at me and said, "Hey, you're back from the Fire Domain?"
