In a private room of a restaurant near the City Lord's Mansion.
A valiant man was sitting at a table with delicious delicacies on it. There was also a jar of Green Bamboo Leaf Wine.
Opposite him stood a scholar wearing a scholarly robe. It was the freckled scholar, Wen Quxiu.
"You're trying to please me for no reason. What's the meaning of this?" The intrepid man put down his chopsticks and looked at the scholar opposite him.
Wen Quxiu's eyes were gloomy as he said, "Lord Zhang, this table of food is just an appetizer. What I want to say is very beneficial to the City Lord's Mansion. It is also an opportunity for you."
"Let's hear it." The valiant man was the City Lord's Mansion's Lieutenant, Zhang Yu.
"I heard that the City Lord's Mansion has a colorless and odorless Soul Snatching Powder." Wen Quxiu asked.
"So what if it is?" Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at Wen Quxiu.
"I received news that the devil on Daping Street has asked people to help him buy thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. He has already bought them several times. I think he wants to increase his power." Wen Quxiu said respectfully.
"I know that. Isn't it because the parents of a murderer who is about to be executed are unwilling to give up and want to find that hothead to stand up for him? As long as he dares to come, I will let him know what it means to court death." Zhang Yu's eyes were sharp as he spoke about the murderer with a clear conscience.
Wen Quxiu cupped his hands and said, "Lord Zhang, what I want to say is that the devil is not stupid. He might not come. I have a way to make sure that he dies without a doubt, so we don't have to worry about the future. "
"You are saying to poison him." Zhang Yu thought for a moment and understood.
Wen Quxiu smiled sinisterly, "Lord is wise. That is indeed the case. No matter how powerful that devil is, he would not expect that the person he helped would bring him a fatal medicinal herb." “
However, Soul Snatching Powder is very precious. There is not much of it in the City Lord's Mansion. I can use some on my own, but the responsibility is too great. So, this matter can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, I will be held accountable. "Zhang Yu muttered.
Wen Quxiu was full of confidence. "Sir, I can make a military order."
Zhang Yu gulped down a bowl of wine, raised his head, and asked, "I want to know why you want to kill that hothead. Is it because he destroyed the Qingping Gang?"
"That's right." Wen Quxiu's eyes were slightly red, and there was a crazed look on his face. "I studied hard for ten years, but I still couldn't pass the imperial examinations. My family was poor. It was Gang Leader Lin and the Qingping Gang who gave my family hope to survive. I must repay this kindness."
"Why did I hear that you killed your wife, who had accompanied you for many years, and wanted to marry the daughter of a government official? Later, when the matter was exposed, you joined the Qingping Gang." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.
"Is there a difference? Anyway, Gang Leader Lin and the Qingping Gang saved my family. I must kill that bastard to avenge Gang Leader Lin and the Qingping Gang." Wen Quxiu said righteously.
"Okay, I promise you." Zhang Yu asked so many questions just to confirm Wen Quxiu's motive. He did not want to plot against him.
"Before the matter is settled, I will not be out of your sight." Wen Quxiu promised confidently.
…
Three days later, the couple came back with a thousand-year-old ginseng. Their faces were filled with anxiety and anxiety.
Although Munin was disappointed, he could understand.
Thousand-Year-Old medicinal herbs were not cabbages. He had bought a lot of them. It was not easy to find one.
Mu Ning took the ginseng and his expression changed slightly. The ginseng contained a deadly poison that could kill upon contact with blood.
He did not get any information about the poison in the couple's memories.
After thinking for a while, he understood.
It was no secret that the couple had bought thousand-year-old medicinal herbs for him several times.
No one had stopped them until now. It was indeed strange that they could buy one.
It was not difficult to understand that someone wanted to get rid of him secretly.
After the couple left, Munin used magic to force the poison out of the ginseng. He cooked it into a thick soup and drank it.
The result was disappointing. The effect was almost negligible. It was better to dig up old scores and beat up a local ruffian.
It was expected that the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs would lose their effect, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Unable to improve his cultivation, Munin could only practice martial arts in the grocery store.
After practicing the incomplete moves a few times, he found that it was not right.
After thinking for a while, he thought that he was a cultivator. There was no need to be greedy. Learning so many mediocre martial arts was the right way to improve his cultivation.
Therefore, he abandoned other martial arts and only practiced the 36 moves of the Mountain-Shattering Hammer.
The Floating Cloud Technique and the Spiritual Light Barrier were the main targets of his cultivation.
With the cultivation of the sixth level of the Nourishment of Life, it was no longer a problem to use the Floating Cloud Technique.
It was not difficult to float on water or fly on grass for a short distance.
When the Spiritual Light Barrier was used, it formed an invisible shield around his body. It was like a protective qi shield, but it consumed a lot of magic power.
The biggest advantage was that his Divine Sense could cover a radius of six feet. He could see everything like the back of his hand.
The grocery store's door was often open, but the pedestrians on the street took a detour, not to mention asking him for help.
If he took the initiative to help others, with his current reputation, it was very likely that it would backfire. The consequences were unpredictable.
Munin thought about it. If Yu Daoan returned now, he would be in danger even if he did not advance to the Connate Realm.
A thought flashed in his mind. He suddenly thought of something.
Back then, he had planned to try to dig a tunnel to see if he could drill out of the invisible barrier. He had been busy, and only now did he remember.
Munin immediately decided to find a hoe. He would test it in the grocery store. If it worked, he would go to the edge of the invisible barrier to dig. From then on, he would be free to fly.
There was an agricultural tool shop in the invisible barrier. It was still early, so Munin went straight there.
Many pedestrians along the way avoided him.
What surprised him was that there were also people who took the initiative to greet him, but their tone was full of fear and flattery.
Munin did not care. He was dressed in a blue robe and had a handsome face. He walked on the bustling street like an elegant prince.
Just as he walked to the door of the agricultural tool shop, he paused.
The invisible barrier and his cultivation suddenly increased greatly.
His range of activity was not far from the City Lord's Mansion.
Such an unforeseen event made him pleasantly surprised.
However, other than eating a thousand-year-old ginseng, he did not do anything else.
The effect was even more wrong. It was not inferior to the effect of killing gang members and saving many people.
Munin was full of doubts. After buying the hoe, he quickly returned to the grocery store.
Putting aside the matter of poisoning, he cleaned up a corner of the house and used the hoe to dig.
… …
Knowing that Munin was still alive and kicking, Zhang Yu did not hold back and directly captured Wen Quxiu.
"This is impossible, unless something went wrong." Wen Quxiu was held by two armored soldiers and kept struggling.
"No matter what went wrong, someone has to take responsibility. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhang Yu said sternly.
"Okay, I admit it. But my family …" Wen Quxiu thought and said.
"Don't worry, I promise that your family will be fine." Zhang Yu said.
