Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

"Master Lin, we've found him!"

Dong Cheng diligently searched the teahouse thoroughly and finally found a hidden cabinet on the wall.

This place nominally belongs to Manager Wang, but in reality it is Liu Zhen's money box. In addition, it is a special place like a gambling den, so it is only natural that some silver should be kept here.

Thinking of this, he suddenly swung his fist, channeling all his spiritual power, and smashed the hidden cabinet several times.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a burst of white silver light poured out like a flood, then scattered all over the ground.

"That bastard!"

Dong Cheng was startled. After a quick glance, he estimated that there were at least five or six thousand taels of silver.

He could hardly believe that this gambling den alone held so much silver, let alone how much Liu Zhen himself had hidden at home.

An ordinary constable's monthly salary is only three to five taels of silver, while a head constable's salary is doubled. If a constable can embroider a purple dragon, he will receive an additional forty taels of silver as a subsidy.

No wonder he wanted to be a ruthless constable; it's a much faster way to make money.

Unfortunately, the Liu family lived in the eastern part of the city, right under the nose of the government office, otherwise...

Snapped.

Dong Cheng gently patted his face. What are you thinking? Let's not even talk about how the money belongs to Master Lin.

Secondly, what's the point of talking about family wealth? Even with the money right now, we might not be able to hold onto it securely.

"..."

Lin Shu strolled upstairs and looked at the silvery light covering the floor.

That's more like it.

He bent down and casually picked out two whole large silver ingots from the pile of broken silver. They were both fifty taels in size and a little bigger than the palm of his hand.

They packed up the heavy item.

"Take one thousand, and count the rest for me and put it away so that I can exchange it for pills at the guild later."

Previously, when they were at Magpie's Nest, Lin Shu didn't want to live in a brothel and was thinking of simply buying a large house in the city.

But he gave up the idea after Yu Sheng woke up.

The cub said that Blackwater City was sealed off not because of any natural disaster, but because it was being kept by a certain immortal descendant.

Who knows what that immortal descendant intends to do with the people of this city?

To put it bluntly, once you realize you're in a pigsty, instead of trying to escape as quickly as possible, are you going to try to build a nice nest inside the pigsty?

"Me too? I got a share?"

Dong Cheng stood there dumbfounded, watching as Master Lin went upstairs.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly gathered up the silver coins on the ground and piled them back into the hidden cabinet.

"Wait a minute, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you yet!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Shu found a private room and sat down, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"That's right, that's right..." Dong Cheng rubbed his face vigorously, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Before you came to take over, Fatty Tian was also working for the White Tiger Hall, helping them select a group of young, strong, and immature boys."

Clearly, he didn't fail to say it; rather, he wanted to keep it to himself.

Seeing Lin Shu's cold gaze, Dong Cheng trembled slightly and hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, these are all kids from Hongyun Martial Arts School. After Zhang died, they all scattered. Fatty Tian specifically picked them out and asked me to keep an eye on them. These guys all come from peasant families in the southern suburbs, so I guarantee they won't even make a ripple."

The saying goes, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." If a family doesn't have much surplus food, just sending their child to a martial arts school can empty their savings.

The peasants hoped that their children could learn a skill or two, so that they could make a living in the West City.

To save money, their families often wouldn't come to the city to visit them for more than half a year. In addition, with Zhang Zhongping dead, no one would have noticed the disappearance of these teenagers.

Dong Cheng smiled ingratiatingly, deliberately emphasizing the words "Hongyun Martial Arts School".

He knew that Master Lin and this martial arts school were mortal enemies.

"Let it go." Lin Shu withdrew her gaze.

I'm not crazy. Even if I want to eliminate the root of the problem, I have to consider the circumstances.

Zhang Zhongping runs a martial arts school and recruits apprentices, not gang thugs.

If the other party could truly unite his subordinates into one mind and turn them all into his killing tools, then the number of people who came to Qingliu Lane for revenge should not have been only nine.

"Well."

The young man's two simple words left Dong Cheng stunned and rooted to the spot: "Release them? But what about... White Tiger Hall..."

The reason he's bringing this up now is...

The most important reason was that he was frightened by Lin Shu's cruel methods, and this greedy wolf was even willing to share a piece of his flesh, which was completely different from the previous two ferocious wolves.

While Dong Cheng was moved, he also had to consider things for Master Lin and himself.

Liu Zhen was, after all, working for the White Tiger Hall. Now that he's dead, that tiger will most likely be enraged.

Now that Fatty Tian has prepared these youngsters for Master Lin, all Master Lin needs to do is send them over normally. This will not only appease the tiger's anger and earn him some benefits, but he might also be able to curry favor with the other party.

Now you're saying you've released them?

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Dong Cheng was very confused, but dared not ask any more questions. He could only obediently go downstairs and quickly disappear into the night.

Life and death are determined by fate; even the King of Hell can snatch a life from his grasp. Saving a worthless life is rewarded with two coins for good deeds.

It is estimated that Tian Jingyuan really put a lot of thought into it, specially selecting this group of qualified young martial artists.

Eight neat notifications appeared in succession, and sixteen white jade merits emerged one after another, bringing Lin Shu's merits to a total of thirty-four.

"..."

Lin Shu tossed the coins in her hand.

He suddenly felt a bit annoyed by this so-called White Tiger Hall.

First, they came to me asking for the baby.

On the way to the gambling den, Dong Cheng mentioned the Zhao family's affairs because the woman was carrying a fetus with medicinal properties.

Now a group of poor kids are involved.

Lin Shu felt it was too shameful to do these things.

Does one have to leech off the poor and weak to cultivate properly?

It's one thing to just absorb it, but at least leave them a way to survive. It's not like they're satisfied only when they're killed.

If the White Tiger Hall is full of so-called "great cultivators" like this...

Well, so be it.

"Tsk."

Lin Shu's gaze narrowed slightly, and she suddenly clenched her fist tightly.

The white jade coin transformed into a rich, milky-white light between his fingers, quickly flowing into the illusory blue feather.

The Radiant Moon Claw Technique initially used less than ten evil coins to evolve into a mid-grade three immortal technique. Then, it broke through two more barriers and reached the threshold of the upper-grade three immortal technique, which only required about a hundred coins.

Even if good deeds are slow, things should change by now.

The Azure Bird Qi-Inducing Technique, which had long been stuck at the seventh-grade limit, seemed to have gathered enough power and burst out with an unprecedentedly clear cry!

"Hey!"

[Sixth Grade. Azure Bird Qi Guiding Technique: Minor Success]

New prompts soon appeared, and as good deeds continued to pour in, the text on them continued to change.

"Middle Grade Three Internal Technique!"

Lin Shu closed her eyes, and the second complete picture scroll appeared in her mind.

The tiny bluebird fluttered its wings and wobbled as it flew towards the sky. With each tremor and flap of its wings, its body grew stronger.

It originally required a cry to summon a few wisps of misty spiritual energy.

But now, it has deliberately crashed into this cloud curtain.

Instead of drawing qi into my body, I'd rather go to the sea of ​​spirit!

From begging for food, it turned into hunting.

The blue sparrow's wings suddenly grew to several meters wide, carrying a large amount of spiritual energy, transforming it into a sharp arrow that whooshed across the sky!

[Sixth Grade of Qi Refining: Spirit Sparrow Qi Absorption Method: Minor Success]

The handwriting on the notice gradually became clearer, and the brand-new inner method revealed the true name.

Although he was still a sixth-rank official, he had opened up possibilities for the future.

At the same time, Lin Shu also felt that the small pool of spiritual energy in her body was being expanded one after another.

Gathering fifty strands of Qi... seventy... breaking one hundred!

His mastery of internal techniques has directly surpassed the Great Perfection level, and then he is making another strong breakthrough!

[Sixth Grade of Qi Refining. Spirit Sparrow Qi Absorption Method: Perfected]
