Chapter 46 3 taels
Upon hearing Liu Sheng's suggestion to use the heads of these demons...
We came to pay homage to Guo Wusheng.
Everyone felt that this was the right thing to do and agreed.
Master Yan nodded and gave the order.
Everyone agreed and got to work.
Wang Zheng and Li Ying were responsible for passing the wolf clan's head back and forth to Liu Sheng, who was standing in front of the stone statue with a knife and a bag of lime.
Every time Liu Sheng received a head, he would take the opportunity to cut off the wolf demon's ear with a knife, then put it in a bag of lime to preserve it.
Cao Dahuang, who was watching from the side, smiled knowingly. As a former member of the rebel army, he naturally recognized that this was how the rebel army calculated military merits.
Master Yan also witnessed this scene. He had a guess in his mind and his evaluation of Liu Sheng improved even more. He planned to report to his elder brother in detail when he returned.
Soon, more than a dozen ferocious wolf heads were piled up in front of Guo Wusheng's stone statue.
Everyone in the caravan, regardless of the severity of their injuries, supported each other and spontaneously gathered before the stone statue of Guo Wusheng, silently paying their respects.
The setting sun, like blood, cast a solemn shadow over the stone statues, the severed heads, and every person standing there.
Liu Sheng stood at the very front.
He bowed solemnly before the stone statue of Guo Wusheng.
Just as he bent down and stood up, Liu Sheng felt a slight heat in his eyes, and his spiritual pupils seemed to be moving strangely!
A warm feeling welled up from the depths of her eyes, blurring her vision.
Only the remaining image of Guo Wusheng shone brightly in the spiritual pupil's vision.
What he saw was a radiance that, like the ocean embracing all rivers, converged into a ray of golden light and entered his brow.
A warm sensation spread throughout my body, and my vision returned to normal.
But he couldn't feel any change in himself.
Liu Sheng quickly opened the panel to check the changes:
Name: Liu Sheng
Age: 17
[External Training Method: Bajiquan (3723/5000 Minor Success)]
[Internal Training Method: Skin Polishing Realm - Earth (Mastery 5%)]
[Internal Training Method: Golden Bell Shield (Beginner Level 15%)]
[Spiritual Eyes: Green, white, yellow, and red, able to see through illusion and reality, ? ? ? ? (Unlocked at the Flesh Refining Realm)]
"Um?"
It's a familiar scene again.
A similar situation occurred when I last arrived at the Desert Caves.
However, the unlock condition at that time was still the skin smoothing realm.
This time it's a flesh-training realm.
"It seems that from now on, I won't just have to practice martial arts, but also travel thousands of miles. Who knows, I might encounter some extraordinary opportunities!"
The Spirit Eye, which was unlocked in the last round, consumed a lot of stamina, but it could recognize the strength of the opponent, which gave me an unparalleled sense of security.
It's fair to say that if it weren't for the existence of Ling Tong, he wouldn't have dared to travel such a long distance to earn money.
Not to mention, he only dared to take this gamble and perform this meritorious act because he saw that the wolf chieftain was not a great threat, thus saving the caravan and himself.
This time it looks like Ling Tong is getting a further boost. What could it be?
Liu Sheng was filled with curiosity.
In the twilight.
A caravan that survived the disaster.
They continued their return in silence and with wariness.
Master Yan found Liu Sheng and said that after he returned and reported, he would be richly rewarded the next day.
Liu Sheng didn't care. Although he didn't know how much the Yan family would give as a thank you gift, at least he still had a bag of wolf demon ears.
Logically speaking, the rebel army should have given him a considerable amount of money.
After Liu Sheng killed the werewolf leader, he touched the corpse and found that he hadn't brought any money with him.
Liu Sheng began to miss Lai San.
After all, the last time they searched Lai San, they were able to find more than a hundred taels of silver, which gave them a lot of confidence in spending money for a long time.
In contrast, the werewolf leader robbed countless caravans.
They would rather die than pay.
Liu Sheng was so angry that he wanted to go to the vicinity, find their nest, and raid their property.
It was just a vast desert, and I didn't know where to start looking. Being separated from the caravan was indeed a bit dangerous.
Forget it.
Thinking back to my initial idea, I only had the thought of making a round trip and earning 10 taels of silver.
In any case, this time it will definitely be more than 10 taels, and we can also form a good relationship with the Yan family, which is not bad.
The rest of the journey was uneventful.
The caravan successfully returned to Crescent Moon County.
Seeing that it was the Yan family's convoy returning, and that the city gate guards still didn't check it, Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
You should know that he now carries not only a knife, but also more than ten pairs of wolf ears!
After receiving 10 taels of silver.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Liu Sheng fought his way back to the martial arts school, knowing that his senior brother lived there.
Lu You had previously asked Liu Sheng if he wanted to live at the martial arts school after he became a member of the sect. Liu Sheng considered that the world was not peaceful and his father was still at home. He thought that if he went back, his father's safety would be better guaranteed, so he did not agree.
When they arrived at the martial arts school, Lu You was indeed still practicing his boxing.
He then saw Liu Sheng, covered in blood and acting suspiciously, arrive and point towards the dark room.
The two entered the dark room and lit an oil lamp.
Lu Youzheng wanted to know what was wrong with his junior brother.
Then he saw Liu Sheng take out a small knife and hand it back to him, and then take out wolf ears one pair at a time from the lime bag...
There are 12 pairs in total!
Lu looked puzzled: "Did you stir up trouble?"
"Almost," Liu Sheng finally said.
Upon hearing this, Lu You picked up the wolf ears and examined them closely. To his surprise, he discovered that these were all wolf demon ears. There was even a pair of wolf ears among them, belonging to an eighth-rank wolf demon.
"I see. Your caravan encountered routed border troops."
Liu Sheng nodded, and then began to tell his senior brother about his experiences on the road.
When Lu heard this, he was referring to the eighth-rank wolf clan leader.
A long-range arrow.
He shot and wounded Master Yan, who was skilled in martial arts.
And then, an arrow at close range.
Surprisingly, they couldn't even hurt their junior brother.
Lu You couldn't help but sigh. With his junior brother's two layers of skin and the Golden Bell Cover technique, he was indeed capable of fighting against most eighth-rank masters.
More importantly, the junior brother's intellect far surpasses that of ordinary people. Not only is he able to apply what he's learned to other situations, but he also once again used the method of diving in the desert to assassinate the werewolf leader.
They even suggested cutting off the heads to worship Guo Wusheng, and taking the opportunity to steal all the wolf ears.
It's both respectable and affordable.
Lu Youdu couldn't even imagine it.
If my junior brother passes the martial arts exam and goes to Shazhou or the rebel army, he'll be incredibly successful.
"These 12 pairs of wolf ears, of varying quality, are worth about 300 taels of silver among the rebels."
300 taels of silver, that's half a year's expenses for me!
Liu Sheng was greatly encouraged. Indeed, murder and arson bring wealth and honor. He couldn't bear to kill anyone, so targeting the demon race was a safer option.
I imagine my grandmaster and master would be happy about that.
The martial arts school had some savings, so Lu You took out 300 taels of silver notes and paid Liu Sheng in advance.
Otherwise, if they went back and forth for several days, he was afraid that Liu Sheng would get impatient and miss the time to use the money.
After all, the martial arts examination is just around the corner, and the sooner we use the money, the sooner we can convert it into our own strength.
Speaking of the military examination.
Lu You felt compelled to offer a reminder:
"Junior brother, the first round of the martial arts examination starts in five days. Don't go too far these next few days."
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
Five days later, Liu Sheng thought about his current state, which was merely the Great Perfection of the Skin Polishing Realm.
I should be able to secure a spot in the first round of the martial arts exam, but whether I can make it to the third round is another matter.
After all, those who participated included scions of prominent families and disciples from other martial arts schools. Moreover, those who failed the previous round could take the exam again in three years as long as they were still under 25 years old.
Logically speaking, there should be many experts.
If I could improve to the perfect level of the Skin Smoothing Realm, it would be much safer.
Moreover, a new item appeared on his panel, which could only be unlocked at the Body Refining Realm:
[Spiritual Eyes: Green, white, yellow, and red, able to see through illusion and reality, ? ? ? ? (Unlocked at the Flesh Refining Realm)]
The Flesh Training Realm!
It triggered Liu Sheng's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He was eager to unlock it as soon as possible and see what it was.
As for whether this new content is particularly helpful, that's secondary to him.
Liu Sheng had previously heard Lu You say that one must reach the perfection of the Skin Polishing Realm before one can practice the Flesh Refining Realm techniques.
So that's what he cares about most right now.
It's about how to achieve perfect skin smoothing as quickly as possible.
Then head straight for the meat-training realm.
Although Liu Sheng himself felt that the internal cultivation method shouldn't be able to accelerate things to this extent, he figured it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway.
At worst, it'll be five days later. Anyway, there's still a gap between the first and second rounds of the martial arts examination.
