Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 46

The darkness was illuminated.

The town guards, carrying torches, surrounded the entire Baixianglou restaurant.

Everyone in the building underwent testing.

Including Sun Ping and the guests.

Everywhere in the building was searched several times.

This includes wine cellars and outhouses.

However, there was still no sign of the monster.

"Captain Zhou, what if the monster jumped over the courtyard wall first, and then jumped back out while you were chasing after it, escaping into the nearby dark woods?"

"They probably already escaped before you surrounded Baixianglou."

Sun Ping guessed.

Zhou Qingyang's face darkened. He glanced around at everyone in the building and then gave a low, solemn order: "Leave five men to guard Baixiang Tower! The rest of you, come with me to the Black Forest!"

Zhang Jiu didn't dare stay in the building any longer and quickly said to Luo Qingchen, "Brother Luo, there won't be any patrols tonight. The garrison troops will be on guard. You're injured, go back and rest. I'll go out with Captain Zhou to check on things."

After saying that, he immediately followed closely behind Zhou Qingyang.

A large group of people left in a grand procession.

The building quickly returned to quiet.

With this disturbance, the guests dared not stay the night any longer and all took their leave.

Sun Ping sighed and had no choice but to let the girls go back to their rooms to rest.

Luo returned to the backyard alone in the early morning.

He sat in the dark room for a while, then took out the pink purse, looked at it quietly for a long time, and put it away.

Then I lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

Just as dawn broke, Xiao Cui knocked on the door: "Guard Luo, hurry to the front yard, someone is looking for you!"

Luo Qingchen got up and touched the wound on her shoulder.

The pain persists.

Without hesitation, he went out the door immediately.

Who else could come to him for blood besides Tian Feng?

He clearly understood that the more critical the moment, the more important it was to be patient and restrained.

Fortunately, he wasn't anemic at all.

Upon arriving at the front yard, Tian Feng was indeed there.

However, Tian Feng looked somewhat haggard today, and his once jet-black hair had turned gray again.

He seemed to have aged considerably.

It seems he was seriously injured when he went down the mountain to do a mission last time.

Without further ado, he took out a dagger and a large bowl, saying, "Come here, I need to draw some blood."

Luo Qingchen naturally didn't dare to speak anymore. She lowered her head, stepped forward, and proactively stretched out her arm, rolling up her sleeves.

The wound on his shoulder was clearly bandaged, but Tian Feng didn't give it a second glance or ask any questions before starting to draw blood.

The large bowl on the ground was quickly filled with blood.

As Tian Feng picked up the blood and prepared to leave, he suddenly stopped and looked at him, saying, "There's something I need to tell you in advance. I'll be coming back for more blood in half a month. At that time, I'll need a kidney to refine medicine."

After saying that, he left directly.

The morning breeze, carrying a chilly air, swept in through the front door.

Black, withered leaves rolled up on the ground.

Luo Qingchen stood there, watching his cold back walk away quickly, his face hidden in the shadow of the courtyard wall, his expression unreadable.

"Does it require a kidney to make medicine?"

Sun Ping stood in the corridor behind him, watching the whole scene unfold, and naturally heard what Tian Feng had just said.

At this moment, there was a hint of pity on her face.

But she knew that this was normal.

She's been here for so many years and has seen this kind of thing more than once.

The medicine people in Medicine People Town were originally medicinal materials used by the disciples above for cultivation.

Blood can be drawn at any time, and it can also be used to make medicine at any time.

Some boys who were telling her jokes and full of hope for the future in the morning would turn into skin and hang coldly on a disciple's waist by the afternoon.

She has witnessed far too many things like this.

So at that moment, she simply sighed softly and turned to go inside the building.

Luo Qingchen walked unsteadily back to the backyard alone.

Once inside the room and locked the door, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately replenished his health.

Then I began my cultivation.

What's a shoulder pain compared to the fact that he doesn't want to lose a kidney?

Perhaps it's not just one kidney.

Removing a kidney here could cost you your life; your entire body would then become ingredients for someone else's medicine-making process.

So he only has half a month left!

In order to achieve better and faster cultivation results, he decided to start by cultivating with human blood.

Three hundred taels of silver can buy six medicinal baths.

If that's still not enough to break through, then the remaining twenty taels of silver will be used to buy blood from other animals.

He must break through within these two weeks!

Because he was still injured, he stopped cultivating after half a day.

After eating some food, I went to bed.

In the evening, he got up, went out, and went to North Street.

After wandering around several alleys, he quickly turned into a blood shop and spent fifty taels of silver to buy a serving of blood.

Of course, before buying, he also asked the shop owner whether the person selling the blood was already dead, and how long ago the blood was taken.

He only buys the blood of the dead, and only the blood that has been recently collected.

Fortunately, the blood shop not only has blood from the living, but also fresh blood taken from the dead.

He suspected that these blood shops might have special people who could extract all of the blood from someone who wanted to sell it that day.

Just like cattle and sheep raised in enclosures, they are slaughtered and sold on the same day.

After leaving the shop, he turned into a nearby alley.

By the time he emerged from the alley, the blood had already converted into 25% of his blood and was stored in his second blood bar.

He did not go back immediately.

After wandering around for a while, I went to a blood shop on South Street and spent one hundred taels of silver to buy two portions of fresh blood.

After entering the alley, he quickly finished smoking.

At this moment, the blood in his second health bar had reached 80%.

As night was about to fall, he immediately returned to Baixianglou.

Because of the monster's appearance last night, Bai Xiang Lou is now even more deserted than before.

As soon as it got dark, everyone stayed in their rooms and dared not come out.

The garrison officers also stayed cautiously inside the building.

If they absolutely have to go out on patrol, all five of them will go together.

Luo Qingchen lived alone in the backyard, which gave her a better opportunity to brew medicinal baths.

After dark, he went into the small stone house and began to brew the medicine.

On the stove, the ordinary tonics that had been bought before were still there.

If someone were to suddenly walk in at this point, all they would see are these medicines.

After all, he just had his blood drawn today, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to have some medicine to replenish his body.

After decocting the medicine, he took a medicinal bath immediately without hesitation.

Everything was calm and peaceful outside.

After successfully completing his medicinal bath, he cleaned up the stone house, returned to his room, locked the doors and windows, set up traps, and prepared to cultivate.

Taking advantage of the potent effects of the medicine, he had just finished a set of boxing techniques when he suddenly heard a soft sound of footsteps outside.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

His eyes turned cold, and he immediately drew a dagger and retreated into a dark corner.

His blood had just been drawn during the day, and in other people's eyes, he was at his weakest and easiest to attack.

Although he escaped many attacks unscathed.

But human greed and desire can temporarily cloud their judgment.

Moreover, in half a month, he might become a corpse.

So some people may have already reached their limit.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The people outside were still knocking on the door.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from outside the door: "Brother Chen, it's me, Yun."

"A-Yun?"

Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat when she heard the voice.
