Chapter 107 The Killer
A tael of silver?
The woman looked at the broken silver in front of her, and the muscles on her face twitched a few times.
"Junior brother, are you sure you heard me correctly?"
She quickly replied.
"I meant five hundred taels of silver!"
"Five taels of silver?"
Luo Qingchen looked surprised: "Is it that expensive?"
"Five hundred taels! I meant five hundred taels!"
The woman immediately raised her voice, even shouting, her face filled with anger.
Is there something wrong with this kid's ears?
She had deep doubts.
Luo Qingchen took out a few more taels of silver from her purse and said, "There are only five taels of silver in total."
As he spoke, he shoved it directly into her hand.
Then, he picked up Chen Ya from the ground and was about to leave.
Enraged, the woman threw down the loose silver coins in her hand, grabbed his collar, and pointed a dagger at him with her other hand, her face frosty as she said, "Boy, are you deliberately trying to toy with me? Believe me or not, I'll stab you right through the hole!"
Luo Qingchen turned to look at her and reminded her, "You can't poke people here."
"Mother—"
"boom""
Before the woman could finish speaking, she was suddenly punched and sent flying.
Then I heard him say, "However, we can fight back."
"Bang!"
The woman fell face-first about seven or eight meters away, writhing in pain.
But when she scrambled to her feet in terror, she found that apart from a sharp pain in her stomach, she seemed to be unharmed.
That punch wasn't delivered with full force.
The woman looked up, her eyes filled with shock and horror as she stared at the boy in front of her.
"You—you are—the Spirit Nourishing Realm?"
The opponent slowly withdrew his fist, his black robe swaying gently without wind, and the terrifying aura of the Nourishing Spirit Realm clearly rushed towards her.
It was like a heavy hammer blow, making her head buzz!
"Junior sister, you were the one who struck first."
Luo Qingchen released her grip, dropping the girl from her other hand, and then slowly clenched her fist.
"If you make the first move, which is disrespectful, then according to the sect rules—"
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "Senior brother, please forgive me! I—I didn't know—I didn't know you were at the Nourishing Spirit Realm—"
After saying that, he immediately slapped himself and said with a mournful face, "Senior brother, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
I was blind! I was blind! Please, senior brother, forgive me for my petty mistake—"
Luo Qingchen said, "If I spare you, how can I explain to the Three Fiends of Hundred Corpse Peak? I killed all three of them when they attacked me here. If I spare you today, wouldn't they die with their eyes wide open in disbelief?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes widened, and she stammered, "You—you are—"
"Black Phoenix Peak, Luo Qingchen."
The woman shuddered violently, stunned for a moment, then her legs suddenly gave way, and she knelt on the ground with a thud. She then began to kowtow repeatedly, crying out in terror, "Senior Brother Luo! I'm blind! I'm really blind! I really didn't know it was you! Waaah—"
She was so frightened that she burst into tears.
As an outer sect disciple at the Blood Exchange Realm, she had naturally heard of the glorious deeds of this Black Phoenix Peak fiend.
Kill the three evil spirits, kill the manager!
Regardless of gender!
Ruthless!
Insidious and cunning!
I will retaliate against even the smallest wrongdoing!
That was ruthless!
Inhuman!
The key point is that I've heard this wicked star always likes to hide his cultivation level and deliberately lure others into making the first move!
Then, he immediately seized upon the sect rules, turned the tables, and directly committed murder, which was utterly despicable, insidious, and terrifying!
Now, this wicked star is trying to lure her into making the first move!
"Senior Brother Luo! As long as you don't kill me, I—I'll give you all my silver, I'll go back to my cave and give you all the property in it! I don't want this medicine man either, you can have it all! If you like a little girl like this, I—I'll go down the mountain immediately to find one for you! I'll find you a hundred!"
The woman was terrified, her face pale, and she kowtowed repeatedly, crying and begging for mercy.
At this moment, Ayao timidly spoke up, "Master, please spare her, don't blow her head off. We—we spent a long time cleaning up those three people you beat up last time."
Upon hearing this, the woman trembled with fear again, hurriedly covering her head and pleading through tears, "Senior Brother Luo! Spare me—don't smash my head! Please! My head—my head is dirty, it'll get this place dirty! I was really wrong, sob sob—"
She was truly terrified.
Were those three notorious, ruthless killers really all blown to pieces by this ruthless star in front of them?
"Pick up the silver, go to the shop and write a contract saying that you voluntarily gave up this drug-using person, spent five taels of silver to sell her to me, and put your fingerprint on it. Then you can leave."
Luo Qingchen didn't waste any more time with her.
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes widened in surprise and shock. She then jumped up from the ground, overjoyed and bursting into tears, exclaiming, "I'll go write it! I'll go write it right now! Thank you, Senior Brother Luo! Thank you, Senior Brother Luo!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran over, picked up the silver from the ground, and was about to run into the pharmacy.
She suddenly stopped, hurriedly cupped the silver in her hands, and returned it, her face full of flattery, saying, "Senior Brother Luo, please keep this silver, I—"
"Take it."
Luo Qingchen said coldly.
"Okay! Okay! Thank you very much, Senior Brother Luo!"
Upon hearing this, the woman didn't dare to say another word. She hurriedly put away the silver and ran into the pharmacy, urgently calling out to the counter, "Shopkeeper! Pen and paper, quickly!"
She was terrified that the jinx outside would change his mind.
Behind the counter, a cool, aloof woman in a simple white dress continued arranging the medicinal herbs, her head bowed, and said calmly:
One hundred taels of silver.
woman:"???"
"Here you go! Here you go!"
Although the woman was filled with hatred and anger, wishing she could pounce on her and bite her to death, she dared not delay for even a moment. She hurriedly took out a hundred-tael silver note and threw it into the counter.
"Quick! Give me a pen and paper!"
She urged him on in a trembling voice, then looked back outside in fear, as if afraid that evil spirit would suddenly come over, think she was too slow, and then smash her head in with a single punch.
That's exactly what she heard.
I heard that the ruthless man was working at the Black Phoenix Peak's management office. Finding the female manager too slow, he kicked open the door, went in, and beheaded her.
What a cruel beast!
Bai Tang then took out a pen and paper for her from the drawer.
The woman immediately took it, wrote down the contract at the fastest speed she had ever done, then bit her fingertip and pressed her fingerprint on it.
Then, with trembling hands, he quickly took it out and handed it over, saying with a forced smile, "Senior Brother Luo, I've finished writing it. Please take a look and see if anything needs to be added?"
Luo Qingchen took it, looked at it carefully, and nodded, saying, "It's ready."
Upon hearing this, the woman felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She hurriedly thanked him a few more times, then turned and ran away as fast as she could.
He kept looking back as he ran, as if afraid she would catch up with him.
"Am I really that scary?"
Luo Qingchen watched the other person's panicked back and felt a sense of unease.
So what if he killed a few bad guys?
Within the Demon Extermination Sect, which disciple hasn't killed someone?
"Thank you, Master!"
Ayao walked up to him, looking at him with a face full of joy and admiration.
At this moment, Chen Ya, with disheveled hair, got up from the ground, knelt down in front of him, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Master—Master—"
With this contract, he became her new master.
Although there are regulations that a disciple can only have one medicine person here, there is no rule that he cannot have servants.
The fact that the waist tag wasn't changed doesn't mean she was his drug user.
But he can be her master.
Luo Qingchen glanced at her, ignored her, and walked into the pharmacy. Standing before the counter, she looked at the beautiful woman behind it and said, "Senior Sister Bai, did you ask me to come here today because of this?"
Bai Tang was busy grinding medicine when she heard this. She looked up at him and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I feel like I'm abusing my power."
Bai Tang asked, "Do you like it?"
Luo Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "It feels alright."
Bai Tang ignored him and continued to pound the medicine.
Luo Qingchen glanced at her again, put the contract in her hand into the counter, and said, "Then I'll be going?"
Bai Tang lowered her head and hummed in agreement, then said nothing more.
Ah Yao quickly said at the door, "Master, please stay for a meal before you leave?"
The little girl's face was full of anticipation.
Chen Ya also wiped away her tears and followed him in, her eyes blurry with tears, staring at him intently.
Luo Qingchen glanced at the two of them and said, "I don't eat other people's food."
After saying that, he went out and left.
At this moment, Bai Tang appeared at the counter.
"Master, if you had spoken just now, the master would have stayed."
Ayao suddenly said.
Bai Tang looked at her and asked, "Why?"
Ayao grinned, the two scars on her face contorting slightly, and said in a crisp voice, "Because Master is prettier than me!"
"I'm so ugly, my master won't pay any attention to me. My master is so beautiful, if I take the initiative to invite him, he'll definitely listen."
Chen Ya suddenly spoke up in a daze, "He doesn't like women at all."
Upon hearing this, both Bai Tang and A Yao turned their gazes to her.
Chen Ya immediately came to her senses and waved her hand, saying, "No, that's not what I meant! What I meant was that Master—he's not lustful. He won't be nice to someone just because they're pretty."
A-Yao blinked and said, "But I think Master is really good to Master. Master came here today because Master sent him, and he even gave Master your contract when he left. Also, Senior Sister, didn't you notice just now? Master's hair is very neatly combed. Master's hair used to be very messy. I think it's because Master was coming to see Master today that he dressed up specially!"
Chen Ya was taken aback upon hearing this.
Inside the counter, Bai Tang seemed not to hear, continuing to pound the medicine with her head down.
"It cost five taels of silver—"
On his way back, Luo Qingchen suddenly remembered that he should have asked Senior Sister Bai for the five taels of silver back.
The other party just used his infamous reputation to extort one hundred taels of silver from that woman.
Also, he forgot to ask A Yao to prepare the poison.
"Never mind, let's talk about it next time."
He has other things to do today.
He needs to go to the library first to look at the knowledge about weapons.
Then you must quickly choose a weapon before you can obtain the Demon-Slaying Technique and begin practicing.
Having weapons and demon-slaying techniques makes one safer and more lethal than fighting bare-handed.
He also needs to go to the grocery store to buy a storage bag.
Of course, you also need to buy a bowl of demon blood to compare your cultivation progress with the gilded blood.
Lost in thought, I soon arrived at the town center.
Just as they were about to pass through the alley next to them, they suddenly saw that the stone house in front of the manager's office was full of people.
The people were disheveled, dressed in rags, and included men, women, the elderly, and children. They were all emaciated and sallow-faced with prominent cheekbones. There were probably over a hundred of them, and they looked somewhat familiar.
"Those refugees outside Qinghe City?"
He remembered immediately.
When he went down the mountain to find the medicine people, he carefully observed them.
Why are they all here?
Just then, a familiar yet furious voice rang out: "Line up! Everyone line up! Anyone who doesn't line up today is not getting a badge!"
The man shouting loudly was none other than Wang Jing, a bald man.
Luo Qingchen was puzzled and walked over.
As soon as I walked over, I saw Wang Jing pull out a whip from somewhere and start lashing out at the refugees who weren't queuing, cursing loudly as he did so.
Inside the stone house, his wife, Sun Qiao'er, seemed to be busy registering the marriage.
"Line up! Get in line, you son of a bitch! Cut in line, you bastards! Are you in such a hurry to be reborn? You'll all starve to death!"
Wang Jing lashed out a few more times with his whip, when he suddenly noticed someone behind him. Thinking it was some refugee cutting in line, he turned around, whip in hand, ready to yell at them. But upon seeing who it was, he was startled, then his face lit up with delight. "Oh! Isn't this Senior Brother Luo? What brings you down here? Is there something you need?"
As he spoke, he quickly put down the whip in his hand, shrank his neck, and gave a slight smile.
Luo Qingchen asked curiously, "Aren't these refugees from outside Qinghe City? What are they all doing here?"
When Wang Jing saw him asking, he gave a bitter smile and said, "They all came here willingly, crying and begging, to become medicine people. Demons appeared outside the city, killing many people, and the city wouldn't let them in. They had no choice but to send people into the city to our office to beg the manager there, saying they wanted to come here. Then Manager Chen notified the sect, and after getting permission, he sent people to bring them here. Several of them died along the way."
Luo Qingchen asked, "Why won't they be allowed to enter the city?"
Wang Jing explained, "Too many refugees had already flooded into the city. They couldn't find work, and the city couldn't possibly feed them for free every day. So many of them resorted to theft, looting, vandalism, and even murder. The chaos affected the city's residents and public order, and some demons also took advantage of the situation to infiltrate. Finally, the city couldn't let any more people in. These people suffered from hunger and cold outside, and were slaughtered by demons; many died. They had no choice but to come here."
Luo Qingchen looked at the elderly, weak, women, and children with blank stares and asked, "Are you all here to be medicine people?"
Wang Jing said, "Of course, once you enter here, everyone is a drug user."
Luo Qingchen nodded, not wanting to disturb her any further, and said, "Then you go ahead with your work, I'm going upstairs."
Wang Jing quickly apologized, "Senior Brother Luo, please don't be offended. I was indeed quite busy today. If you have some free time next time, let's come down and have a couple of drinks."
Luo Qingchen agreed, turned around and left, passing through the alley and soon arriving at the stone steps behind the town.
Stepping onto the stone steps and looking back, one can clearly see the group of disheveled, ragged, and hungry figures.
This world has actually driven people to Medicine Man Town.
Medicine Man Town is actually better than the outside world?
Return to the sect.
He first went to the library, found the bookshelf that introduced various weapons, and began to read.
"Knife, spear, sword, halberd—"
Axe, halberd, hook, fork —
"Whip, mace, hammer, claws —"
"Tang, shuo, stick, club —"
There are even descriptions of the crutch and the meteor hammer.
Each book contains illustrations of various weapons, and each weapon comes in several different styles.
For example, there are various types of knives, such as horizontal knives, long knives, waist knives, large knives, and katanas.
Swords come in various styles, including light swords, heavy swords, thin swords, broadswords, long swords, short swords, as well as one-handed swords and two-handed swords.
Each style clearly explains its advantages and disadvantages.
He spent a full hour reviewing the documents before he could roughly determine his three choices.
Knife, gun, sword.
To slay a monster, you must destroy its heart; no other weapon seems to be as swift and effective as these three.
After thinking it over carefully for a while, he chose a knife, a horizontal knife.
The horizontal sword can be used for both slashing and thrusting. It is as long and agile as a sword, unlike the long and heavy long sword, or the short waist sword. Moreover, it can be held with one hand or two hands, so it should be quite good.
Of course, he didn't know much about these weapons, so he just picked one at random.
After making his final decision, he left the library and went directly to the nearby general store.
I inquired and found that even the most ordinary storage bag costs 5000 taels of silver!
Moreover, the storage bags are quite large, about half the size of a regular burlap sack.
However, there is enough space inside.
Of course, there are also storage bags the size of purses, as well as storage rings, storage rings, and so on.
There were even storage items made into hairpins, headdresses, jade pendants, or necklaces.
These are all relatively small in size, but their prices are even more shocking.
He estimated that even if he worked hard for several more years, he might not be able to afford it.
After much hesitation, he decided to spend a huge sum of money to buy the most ordinary storage bag.
After all, we'll be going out in the future.
With the storage bag, you can hold a lot of things, including many hidden weapons, and it has no weight at all. You can put it in your robe, at your waist, or other places.
Sometimes it can even determine a person's life or death.
As for the Ten Soul Banner, it can last for a few more months, during which time he should be able to earn money. Moreover, after careful consideration, he decided that he would still go to the general store in Medicine Man Town to find out who had repaired the Ten Soul Banner for him. Because his sister's soul was inside, he dared not simply ask someone else to repair it.
With these thoughts in mind, he didn't hesitate any longer. He took out the huge sum of money he had painstakingly saved and bought a gray storage bag that looked like it was made of coarse cloth and hemp rope.
"It is bound by blood, and can be opened with a thought. If a person dies, it becomes ownerless, and anyone can open it."
The shop owner provided a detailed introduction.
Luo Qingchen asked in a low voice, "Do you sell iron nails?"
"Nails?"
The shop owner was taken aback and said, "Yes, we do. Are you looking to nail something? How many do you need?"
Luo Qingchen said, "Five hundred."
"Huh? How much?"
The shop owner thought he had misheard.
"What are you nailing that requires so much?"
As he spoke, he searched in the cabinet, then pulled out a package and said, "There are only fifty in total. If you need more, come back in a few days."
Do you have any animal traps?
Luo Qingchen paid the money and then asked in a low voice.
The shop owner said, "Yes, how much do you need?"
"five hundred."
Shopkeeper:
'
'
"There are only twenty here. If you want more, come back in a few days, or go to Medicine Man Town to buy them."
The shop owner looked at him strangely.
Even if this kid is going to hunt wild animals, he doesn't need to buy so many, does he? Isn't he afraid of forgetting about them and getting himself caught in a trap?
Soon, Luo Qingchen left the general store with a storage bag, fifty iron nails, and twenty animal traps.
Next, he went to the blood shop and ordered a serving of monster blood.
When he returned to his cave, of the more than six thousand taels he had, only a pitiful 150 taels remained.
"I wonder when I'll meet someone as kind as Senior Sister Qiu again—"
He sighed, placed the storage bag on the table, and began the blood oath ceremony.
After recognizing the master, he tried it a few times.
Putting things in and taking things out is just a matter of a thought, and the interior is quite spacious; it's truly a good product.
From this perspective, five thousand taels of silver is still quite worthwhile.
Just as he was preparing to pack up the nails and animal traps he had bought, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the cave: "Junior Brother Luo! Are you in the cave?"
"Korean wave?"
Upon hearing this voice, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
