29 Star-patterned Stone

It is said that the Corpse Pill can be used to refine many precious medicines, and the higher the grade, the more valuable it is, but this method is against the natural order.

So, generally, evil cultivators use corpses to refine them, but in the end, it is the people who slay demons who obtain them. The demon slayers then exchange the corpse pills for silver, pills, and resources. Who will ultimately get these corpse pills? I don't know, it's really difficult!

He Chen came to the man's side, looked at the clothes on the ground, searched for a long time, and then found a book of Yin Yang Qian Kun Da Fa. He opened it and saw that it was full of invisible things. Such a harmful thing should be put away!

There is also a Xuan Yin Heart Sutra, and a method to control the ghoul from before. The method is cruel; you start by feeding it with your own blood, and after you control it, you can also use chicken, duck, or cow blood, but human blood has no spirit, and you need a lot of delicious food to break through and advance in rank.

There were some words written on it, roughly saying that this person was also captured by evil cultivators and practiced the method of controlling corpses with many other teenagers. He himself also had a near-death experience. Only 4-5 of his peers survived, while the other hundred or so died. It is said that they were just one group!

Then, the key point is that it introduces how moving and beautiful the Holy Maiden of the Xuan Yin Sect is, and how the young man is unforgettable!

After reading it, He Chen thought to himself, 'He's a pitiful soul after all. You should thank me now, don't worry. Next time you encounter someone from the Xuan Yin Sect, I'll chop them down for you, no need to thank me! I'll also lift the veil of your Holy Maiden for you so you can get a better look, no need to thank me!'

The Mysterious Yin Heart Sutra has a chilling and sinister cultivation method; it's not a good thing. The method of controlling corpses is also a vicious technique. Burn them all. I'll keep the other earthen items and silver for safekeeping!

In an instant, the lightning and fire were activated, and soon the ground burst into flames, and everything was reduced to smoke and dust!

With one step, they arrived at the crowded area. Seeing He Chen arrive, everyone slowly emerged from their resting place. The leader stepped forward and thanked them, saying, "My lord, you've returned! Thank you, my lord. I am Bai Ye from Bai Family Village."

He Chen nodded and replied, "No need for that. You can all go back at dawn. There's no need to discuss this further."

Bai Ye quickly said, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. Please have a seat here, sir," and then led the man to a broken chair to rest.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, he asked, "I don't know, sir, but we might need to search and clean up the other areas as well."

He Chen closed his eyes to rest, and softly replied, "Okay."

"Thank you, sir," he said, then hurried back. "Everyone, search the surrounding area for anything you can find. Let's agree beforehand that everyone should work in groups and not keep anything for themselves." Then the group set off in a grand procession to search!

He Chen was pondering whether to add sword techniques, mental cultivation methods, or the sharpness and sturdiness of the Gentleman's Blade. Judging from today's battle with the ghouls, it was really tough and difficult to cut; otherwise, it would have been a one-hit kill!

The cultivation technique is also very important; the higher the level, the greater the power, and a single strike becomes even more powerful! I'm torn; I still don't have enough kill points!

After some time, Bai Ye returned and cautiously asked, "Sir, we've found over 1000 taels of silver in total. The three jade pendants are estimated to be worth several tens of taels. Would you like to take a look?"

He Chen casually replied, "No need, you guys handle it yourselves."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir," and then left.

After Baiye left, he told everyone the outcome of the matter. Everyone was grateful again. Then, everyone started cooking. "Sir, this is freshly roasted meat. Please enjoy it." Baiye brought out a large plate of cured meat, which was fragrant and crispy!

He Chen's appetite was whetted by the sight, and he began to eat heartily. It was so satisfying! Eating meat in large bites was a delicacy, truly delicious!

As dawn broke, the group prepared to depart. Before leaving, they all knelt and bowed in gratitude, saying, "What a great favor you have done to save our lives!"

He Chen remained silent. Seeing that it was already bright daylight, he thought that he had protected them enough to get this far, and it was time to leave. Besides, with the red-faced skeleton and evil spirits here killed, there shouldn't be any other little ghosts coming.

He thought to himself, 'I had planned to bring the Cheng family back to settle Lan-jie's knot in her heart, but now it seems that won't work! Moreover, the situation in the county is probably not good either. Can I replace the Lian family, the Cheng family, and several gangs? I also lack resources!'

My cells are like a bottomless pit now; they seem to devour everything, and they're getting stronger and stronger. While I do want my body to become stronger, this expenditure is really a bit too much for me!

A touch of joy, and a touch of frustration at not being able to eat enough!

"My lord," Bai Ye said as He Chen came to his senses, having been waiting.

"What do you want?" He Chen looked at Bai Ye, who had been waiting for him.

Bai Ye made up his mind and said, "Thank you for saving my life, sir. There's a particularly heavy piece of ore inside this mine. If you'd like to see it, I'll take you there."

"Okay, lead the way." He Chen nodded inwardly, sensing no danger.

Following the mine shaft, they came to a spot by a ore transport road. Bai Ye forcefully moved aside the rubble on top, revealing a large, bowl-sized, dark, and grime-like stone inside.

He Chen asked in surprise, "What is this? Is this a star-patterned stone? It's such a big piece." He Chen slowly picked it up; it was really heavy. He continued, "I'll take this one. You take this one." Then he took out a box of gold and silver that he had found earlier.

Bai Ye did not accept the offer immediately, but instead asked, "May I ask if you hold an official position in the county?"

He Chen looked at it and laughed, "Don't overthink it, I'm not. Do you know the market in Hualin Town? I'm in charge there."

Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, I wonder if it's possible to find my two sons a job in Hualin Town. I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I wouldn't dare take too much gold and silver. My family has five children, and two of my sons are still unmarried."

He Chen examined it carefully, then nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, after you go back, go to Hualin Town and find Old Man Weng. I'll give you a shop. My name is He Chen. Have your son come find me when he arrives!"

He put the items into his Qiankun bag. It seems that this border region is truly a treasure land. He will refine them into the Gentleman's Blade later. He picked up the cypress leaf, used his Yunfeng Xingbu light footwork to gather his energy, and then quickly brought the cypress leaf to the main road. He also gave him ten taels of silver!

Then, using his Cloud Wind Steps, he rode the clouds and wind, quickly returning to the mansion. Aunt Lan, Wen'er, and Jie Huayu were all waiting expectantly. The breakfast on the table remained untouched. Watching He Chen slowly descend from the sky, seemingly a celestial being, Jie Huayu was deeply moved, while Aunt Lan and Wen'er were also astonished!

Everyone around him was waiting for him, and his heart warmed. He said softly, "Let's eat together. Don't wait for me next time. You all eat first. Wen'er must be starving."

Then they devoured the food in a whirlwind. Eating wild animal meat every meal is really great! I wish I could eat tiger meat, dragon meat, or phoenix meat sometime!

After finishing his meal, He Chen washed up and went back to his room to rest. Despite the fierce battles last night, he felt no fatigue whatsoever. Under the clear blue sky, with the sun high in the sky, he had just started to feel sleepy when the door opened gently, and a fragrant breeze wafted in. Wearing a thin silk robe, he couldn't get a proper rest. An hour later, he finally fell into a deep and sweet sleep!

He sighed inwardly, "As expected, the improvement in my cultivation technique greatly enhances my overall strength!"
