And Chief Guard He was indeed conveying goodwill.

However, at first it was because of Shen Huang's mystery and the unknown, but now it's more because of the master's words "interesting".

This might sound unbelievable to modern people.

However, for Chief Guard He, this was perfectly normal.

Even a single word from the Lord represents a form of attention.

Shen Huang wasn't thinking that much at the moment; his mind was still in a daze. He simply nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

He, the head guard, then turned around again, gave Hongfei a warning look, and left with the other guards.

Hongfei's expression was somewhat uncertain.

He never expected that this outsider would actually gain the attention of the township head, who even sent him a jade slip from the Immortal Path.

Although the jade slip appeared to be just a basic literacy instruction manual, it was not given out casually.

Immortal jade slips are complex to make and often have limited uses. Some profound immortal techniques can only be understood by those who have mastered the basics of writing.

This alone makes it easy to imagine how rare this item is.

In the end, Hongfei just snorted coldly, said nothing, and left with his men.

The other villagers who had been kneeling on the ground finally dared to stand up, but each of them looked at Shen Huang with utmost awe.

No one dared to come up and speak to them.

This is someone the township head is keeping an eye on!

Only then did Shen Huang close the door again and go back inside.

"I guess this is safe for now." He forced back the dizziness in his head and tried his best to think about his current situation.

The original threat, the superhuman named Hongfei, has not yet been dealt with, but with the township head's attention, he should not dare to make a move openly again.

However, if he wasn't mistaken before, the malice still remained.

Moreover, the township head, the protector, is the biggest boss in this place. Although he has temporarily shown goodwill by sending a jade slip of immortality to solve a huge problem for him, he knows nothing about the township head's character or purpose, nor does he know what this attention will bring.

"I still need to familiarize myself with the environment, grasp the situation, and strengthen myself as soon as possible. Ideally, I should be able to obtain a cultivation method... There is a high probability that there is a mature supernatural technology behind this world." Shen Huang was immersed in the text information in his mind with a mixture of worry and expectation.

Written language is not just for communication.

The written language of a civilization is often the most direct carrier of that civilization's culture, especially since many allusions and vocabulary contain a wealth of information.

These are precisely the things Shen Huang urgently needs to know.

Just as Shen Huang was fully absorbed in his work, at the village chief's house not far away, Guard He, along with two men, carried the corpse all the way to the very center.

Here, the pale blue light was exceptionally "intense" and was constantly churning. At the same time, accompanied by a slight smell of blood, there was a pool of blood right in the center!

Countless pieces of flesh surged within, and a massive beast head floated on the surface, its eyes wide open in fury, as if filled with endless resentment.

It was brought over by Chief Guard He a few days ago.

At this moment, Chief Guard He stood in front of the blood pool and respectfully bowed to a person sitting cross-legged beside it.

"My lord, two corpses have been brought here, but they are poisoned."

Indeed, the man in the blue robe, with a very young face and looking no more than twenty years old, is the "township head" here.

However, his expressionless face and the fleeting look of vicissitude in his eyes indicated that he was not as young as he appeared.

At that moment, he glanced briefly at the two corpses.

He let out a soft "hmm".

"This poison... is quite interesting." The village chief did not get up, but the two corpses flew up on their own and came to him.

An invisible force surged through the two corpses.

He, the head of the guards, and the others bowed their heads respectfully, remaining motionless as if they were holding their breath.

The township head's silence, however, grew longer and longer.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour...

It went on for so long that even Chief Guard He and the others were somewhat alarmed.

It was just a poison that killed two mortals. Although poisons in this world are dangerous, it is surprising that the Lord has been observing it for so long.

Finally, after nearly half an hour had passed, the village chief slowly exhaled and put down the corpse.

"Incredible." His tone carried a hint of amazement. "This poison has miraculous effects on all flesh and blood bodies that still need to breathe. It must have been obtained from some kind of natural poison, but to be purified to this extent and in such a minute quantity is truly remarkable."

Finally, Chief Guard He found an opportunity to speak, bowing respectfully and saying, "So, this person truly has an extraordinary background?"

The fact that a poison could amaze even the Lord speaks volumes about its value.

The township head nodded slightly, then shook his head.

"To be able to come here despite the language barrier is already an extraordinary feat, but..." The village chief paused slightly, as if pondering, before slowly saying, "Wait for him for three days. If he can refrain from coming to me within three days, then summon him to see me."

"Yes." Guard Chief He's heart stirred, and he bowed in response.

However, just as he was about to leave, the township head's voice came from in front of him again.

"Don't worry about Hongfei." The village chief's gaze fell on the blood pool in front of him. "This world is difficult. Even we Spirit Masters are struggling to survive, let alone ordinary people. The path of cultivation requires great perseverance, great opportunity, and extraordinary talent. Your talent is even greater than mine. You have already obtained one of the three. You should bravely move forward and focus on cultivation. Only then can you have a glimmer of hope in this world of great calamity. Remember that."

"Yes, Your Majesty's command." Captain He bowed respectfully, but his gaze towards the ground held a hint of shame.

The Lord has said this more than once.

He has always been diligently practicing his spiritual cultivation.

However, he ultimately failed to reach the same level of perseverance as the Lord, who was almost completely devoted to the Great Dao.

Chief Guard He knew the reason.

His Dao heart... was not yet solidified, and deep down, he had no expectations for the future and dared not make any extravagant hopes.

"Perhaps I'll die in the gray fog tomorrow." After leaving, Chief Guard He gave a self-deprecating smile.

Suddenly, I thought of that stranger again.

The other person may not have realized it themselves, but he noticed that the person had a very unique quality, so unique that he had never seen it before since childhood, and was even out of place with everyone else.

Only now has Chief Guard He figured out what that was.
