"Is it really that magical?" Jiang Kuai was shocked.
Hu Ziwen said, "As long as they're still breathing, the Spirit Blessing Pill can save them! Fortunately, I have the Spirit Blessing Pill with me, or else we'll be in big trouble! "
Jiang Kuai looked at the two people lying in the pool of blood. "They're not dead?"
"After taking the Spirit Blessing Pill, it's hard to die even if you want to!" Hu Ziwen laughed. "Fortunately, you caught the murderer, or else, my two Spirit Blessing Pills would be gone!"
"Can you still get them back now?"
"If we can't catch the murderer, the Public House will only return me one pill. If we catch the murderer, they'll return me four pills!" Hu Ziwen laughed. "The Spirit Blessing Pill is issued once a year, you can't buy it."
"The Public House issued it?" Jiang Kuai was surprised.
Such a life-saving pill was issued by the Public House, it was indeed the Public House.
"As long as we complete the task safely and without any mistakes, one will be issued at the end of the year."
"Can't we buy it from others?"
"No matter what, money is not as important as life. We Protectors walk on the edge of a knife, who can be sure that we won't run into danger? At this critical moment, life is at stake. Is money more important than life? "
"That's true." Jiang Kuai nodded and looked at the man in black on the ground. "Shall we interrogate him?"
"No!" Hu Ziwen waved his hand. "Don't do anything, leave him to the Public House."
"What if we delay?" Jiang Kuai frowned. "Maybe if we interrogate him now and find him, we won't be able to find him!"
"I'd rather not find him than do anything stupid." Hu Ziwen shook his head. "We're not professionals, what if we kill him? Don't worry, someone will be here soon! "
Just as he finished speaking, two figures floated in.
"Brother Hu, what's going on?" the two men asked as soon as they entered.
Jiang Kuai saw that both of them were young men in their twenties. His eyes lit up. They were also Innate Masters. It seemed that the number of Innate Masters in the Public House was as many as dogs. If it was any other martial arts sect, having a few Innate Masters would already be the top strength.
"This guy is the murderer. The other one escaped, bring him back to the Public House. " Hu Ziwen said seriously. "The victim has been rescued, the Public House will send someone over to treat him. We have nothing to do now."
"Congratulations, Brother Hu!" The two young Protectors smiled.
No one died. Furthermore, if they caught a murderer, not only would they not be at fault, but they would also be rewarded handsomely, a reward that would make others envious.
A single meritorious deed was equivalent to a year's worth of missions. This was something that others could not help but envy.
Hu Zhiwen grinned. Zhang Xuan chuckled and clasped his fist.
The two of them picked up the black-clothed man and floated away.
As soon as they left, another old man floated in with a purple wooden box. Hu Ziwen quickly cupped his fists. "Old Sheng."
Old Sheng was dressed in a blue robe. He was tall and burly, like an iron tower. His hair was white, and his face was ruddy. He looked like an immortal.
He waved at them and looked down at the people on the ground. "Carry them to the table."
"Yes," Hu Ziwen replied respectfully. Together with Jiang Kuai, they gently lifted the two of them and slowly placed them on the table.
Old Sheng opened the purple box he was carrying and took out the silver needles and a bottle of medicine. He first applied the ointment on their chests and inserted a few more needles.
"Old Sheng, are they alright?" asked Hu Ziwen.
"Thanks to your Spirit Blessing Pill." Old Sheng stroked his white beard and nodded. "Their lives are saved, but it will be difficult for them to recover. Their bodies will be weaker."
"They are lucky to be alive." Hu Ziwen let out a sigh of relief.
"You guys go ahead." Old Sheng waved his hand. "Leave this to me."
"Yes." Hu Ziwen and Jiang Kuai left the house and continued to patrol the city.
The alley was still quiet. The surrounding residents did not notice anything strange. They did not know that a massacre had happened beside them.
Bathed in the soft light of the lantern, Jiang Kuai let out a long sigh. "They are really lucky!"
He also secretly sighed at the power of the House of High Duke. How could the residents in the city not be loyal?
"They are really lucky!" Hu Ziwen agreed. "If we were one step later, they would have died. If that happened, we would be in trouble. We would be held responsible. Not only would we lose the Spirit Blessing Pill, but we would also lose a lot of money. If we lose the Spirit Blessing Pill, we would lose a lot of money too. "
"Has this happened before?"
"Of course." Hu Ziwen sighed. "But some of them were unlucky. They lost the Spirit Blessing Pill for the year, lost their reward, and were fined ten thousand taels."
"The punishment is so heavy?" Jiang Kuai was surprised.
Ten thousand taels was not a small amount. The Spirit Blessing Pill was priceless too.
Hu Ziwen said, "It's the same rule. The reward for the mission is high, and the punishment for not completing the mission is high. Do you think that if you can't complete the mission, you will not be punished?"
Jiang Kuai shook his head. He really did not know that the punishment was so heavy.
"But Young Jiang, your Light-body Technique is really good!" Hu Ziwen praised. "No wonder you could enter the Public House halfway. You didn't just rely on your connections!"
Jiang Kuai smiled embarrassedly.
"This time, it's all thanks to your Light-body Technique." Hu Ziwen patted Jiang Kuai's shoulder. "If we didn't catch the murderer, our Spirit Blessing Pill would be terrible!"
"I was just lucky." Jiang Kuai smiled embarrassedly.
"You're too humble!" Hu Ziwen smiled and shook his head.

In the morning, after Chu Li had his breakfast, he strolled around and cultivated the Sentient Menace. Then, he entered the pagoda as usual. He took out the tiger bones and sat in front of them to visualize the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait.
He realized that when he practiced the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait, the closer he got to the tiger's bones, the stronger the effects would be. The strange energy in the air surged toward him like a tidal wave, engulfing him and squeezing him. It rushed into his body and washed over him, changing his blood, flesh, bones, and meridians.
Xue Ling saw him cultivating the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait and knew that she was a hindrance in the courtyard. She left the courtyard and went to the Martial Arts Hall to read. She did not have a photographic memory. She could not remember a secret manual or notes that attracted her. She had to read it a few times.
Chu Li had not been visualizing for long. When he opened his eyes, Xue Ling pushed the door open and entered.
He looked at Xue Ling who floated into the pagoda and exuded a delicate fragrance. "What's the matter?"
Xue Ling quickly said, "Master, Jiang Kuai accepted a patrolling mission last night. In the end, a massacre happened!"
"Massacre?"
"Fortunately, he and another Protector ran over in time and scared the murderer away. They used the Spirit Blessing Pill in time to save the two people. Jiang Kuai caught up and caught one of the murderers, but the other one ran away!"
Chu Li closed the box that contained the tiger bones and said casually, "It's lucky that they didn't die. The Public House will handle the matter of catching the murderer. It's not up to us to intervene."
Xue Ling said, "Jiang Kuai has made a great contribution this time. He has a firm foothold!"
Chu Li nodded.
Xue smiled. "Jiang Kuai was recommended by you, Master. His meritorious service is also your meritorious service!"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, but it's not a big deal. Go and do your work!"
Xue Ling rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "There are still people who don't know what's good for them. They dare to kill people in the town. They are really bold!"
Chong Ming Town was the backyard of the Public House. Killing people in Chong Ming Town was a provocation to the Public House. The Public House would not tolerate it and would investigate to the end. This was common sense. However, there were some people who wanted to get lucky and dared to test the law. This made her angry and confused.
"Did you find out who did it?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Ling said, "It seems to be the Phoenix Tree Faction!"
