Chapter 40: Capturing the Wushen Cult

"But we've agreed that you have to pay for the materials yourself."

Niu Gai counted on his fingers and said, "Fifty-year-old purple gold bamboo, plus other precious materials, will cost at least fifty taels."

"How many?!"

Chen Sanshi gasped.

"Do you think the mutant purple bamboo is easy to find?"

Niu Gai said frankly: "In fact, if you ask me, six or seven crossbows are enough. If we really fight, we have crossbow carts. Why bother?"

“The tiger bones were here first.”

Chen Sanshi was not going to change his decision: "Wait until I get the alien beast tendons, then you can make the bow."

It seems that he really needs to find a way to get the white deer.

Exotic beasts are rare and expensive, so if you can get a white deer, you won’t be short of fifty taels of money for materials.

After bidding farewell to the craftsmen, Chen Sanshi returned to the military camp.

After the morning drills, we patrolled the city as usual in the afternoon.

When he had some free time, he went to buy some medicinal herbs, and he saw that the sign of the "Yunhe" medicine shop had been removed and replaced with "Yunhe".

Is it that the young master has been completely swallowed up by his uncle, or what is going on?

"Your Excellency was not here yesterday, so I don't know."

Xu Wencai, who was joining in the fun, noticed his confusion: "The young master of Yunhe Martial Arts School recently broke through to the Bone Refining Realm. He suddenly killed his uncle last night and regained the family property."

"breakthrough?"

As far as Chen Sanshi was concerned, wasn't it said that Young Master Yunhe was mediocre in talent and might be stuck in the Bone Refining Stage for the rest of his life?
How long has it been since my uncle embezzled my family property? Suddenly, a breakthrough has occurred?

Is he hiding his incompetence on a daily basis, or is there another explanation?
Fortunately, Yunhe Pharmacy resumed normal business and did not increase prices due to the successful recovery of the family property, and still maintained a 20% discount.

"Two doses of Nine-Transformation Replenishing Essence Soup."

Two paper bags tied with ropes were handed to him, and the price was fifty taels of silver.

Before they could even warm up to the money earned from hunting tigers, most of it was spent again.

The martial arts school really makes huge profits!

But after all, it's an investment in yourself, so you can't be stingy.

After buying the medicine, it was time to change shifts and return to camp.

"Mr. Xu."

Chen Sanshi found the old scholar and asked: "Do you have any books that record rare and exotic animals?"

"Have!"

Xu Wencai hurried to look for the book.

His wooden bed was not big, and more than half of it was filled with books, leaving only very little space for sleeping.

Xu Wencai didn't even look for it, but took out a book accurately, which was a book recording rare and exotic animals.

"I haven't finished reading the previous one yet. I'll return it to you later."

Chen Sanshi thanked him: "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

"Sir, why be so polite? If you want to read a book, just come and get it!"

Xu Wencai is quite attentive.

"..."

Chen Sanshi knew that this guy was afraid that he would kick him away because he was useless. He had been calling him "Sir" in a very friendly way recently and it was impossible to stop him. In fact, there was no need to do so.

He took the book home and started reading it before the meal was ready.

The title of this book is "Travels in Mountains and Rivers", which records what a traveler who liked to travel around the mountains and rivers saw and heard more than a thousand years ago.

"Three hundred miles further east, there is Lishan, with lots of water and no vegetation. There are fish there, shaped like cows, and there are..."

The way the contents were recorded was similar to that in the Shan Hai Jing that Chen Sanshi had read, and even some of the creatures were similar.

"Three hundred miles further west is Xian Mountain... There are many singing snakes in it. They look like snakes with four wings and make sounds like a rock. If they are seen, there will be a severe drought in the city."

“It’s all silver!”

Chen Sanshi watched intently.

He flipped through a few more pages and finally saw what he was looking for.

"One hundred miles further south is Tiger Mountain. There are white deer with four horns on their heads and ears that can hear in all directions. They like to eat Baozhi, whose meat is slightly sour and very nutritious."

White deer.

It seems that the Hutou Mountains really exist.

"Improve your cultivation first, and when you have mastered the blood training, go up the mountain to find the white deer."

Chen Sanshi closed the book.

……

Time flies, and it’s October in the blink of an eye.

The weather in the north is getting colder.

For ten days in a row, Chen Sanshi lived his life according to the routine.

Practice martial arts, eat, and patrol the city.

As for the Wushen Cult, it was said that the prisoner was very stubborn and refused to confess a word during the seven days of torture. Finally, he bit his tongue and committed suicide when he got the chance. So the clue was cut off and the search of the city continued.

Chen Sanshi was not in a hurry.

The later something comes, the better it is for him.

On the martial arts field.

Chen Sanshi, who had just drunk a bowl of Nine-Transformation Replenishing Essence Soup, felt that every pore in his body was getting hot.

The effect of Buyuan Decoction is twice that of Buxue Decoction.

He clasped his fists and said, "Officer Xu, I want to trouble you today. Please do your best."

"Full force?"

Xu Bin, who was holding the knife, was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"determine."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

Being at the same level, the opponent could no longer put any pressure on him.

"it is good!"

Xu Bin did not refuse.

He had long wanted to go all out.

It’s not that I want to win, but we are of the same blood and energy, and this kid is really scary.

In front of the young man, he was like a training stake, posing no threat to him at all. He was only able to hold on thanks to his years of swordsmanship and not be too embarrassed.

"Look at the knife!"

Xu Bin roared, and his small-level energy and blood suddenly burst out. He rushed forward and chopped down with a knife, like a mad wolf falling from the sky!

Chen Sanshi also opened fire at full strength, two streams of qi and blood condensed in his arms, and the reed spear turned into a phantom.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-"

The conflict between metal and iron.

Xu Bin was shocked to find out.

He tried his best, but was unable to suppress the young man. The other party's level of blood training was not inferior to his in pure strength, not to mention his endurance.

Within ten rounds, Xu Bin's palm where he held the knife became numb and his eyes became dizzy. He began to be unable to judge from which direction the opponent's spear would stab him. His lower body became more and more weak and disorderly, and finally he fell to the ground.

"Stop, stop, stop! No more fighting!"

he shouted hastily.

"Keng!"

Chen Sanshi put away his gun and stepped forward to help the man: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Bin!"

Haoran breathing method, long weapon advantage, swift spear force, strong blood...

With one advantage after another piling up, he could indeed easily defeat the Blood Training Master.

"You...are you almost done?"

Xu Bin noticed something was wrong: "It's only been a few days?"

"Maybe I took too many tonics."

Chen Sanshi looked at the panel.

[Kung Fu: Basic Spear Skills for Soldiers (Mastery)]

[Progress: (910/1000)]

[Effect: Swift spear power, amazing endurance, strong blood and qi]

It’s almost as he predicted, there will be a small breakthrough within half a month.

Finally, the dozens of taels of silver were not wasted.

"I won't be able to practice with you anymore."

Xu Bin wiped away the cold sweat.

This is too terrible.

It’s not a question of tonic at all.

If it were him, no matter how many tonics he took, he would not be able to make such rapid progress and might even get poisoned.

This kid has a great chance of becoming an internal organ refining warrior, or even higher, in this life!

"Brother Bin has worked hard, I will treat you to a drink tonight."

Chen Sanshi knew that being a sparring partner was not an easy job.

"Okay!" Xu Bin said without hesitation.

"Om-"

When the two were about to leave, the assembly call sounded without warning.

A messenger rode a fast horse, running between the military camps and military settlements with a loud voice.

"Three hundred garrison troops assembled!"

"Traces of the Wushen Cult have been discovered in Poyang County. Gather together to encircle and suppress them. Gather together to encircle and suppress them—"
