Chapter 65 A fruitful harvest
[Ding! Plot changes detected]
[Reward system points: 30]
There were no dangerous situations and no sudden reversals.
Wei Changtian didn't even need to attack again, the rat demon quickly died under the siege of Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng.
This beast was quite interesting. In the last second before death, he didn't think of fighting back. Instead, he jumped onto an open box of silver. In the end, he closed his eyes while hugging a few silver ingots.
Seeing this scene, Wei Changtian and Zhou Cheng unconsciously looked at Xu Qingwan again. The latter immediately turned back into her silly look, blushing and lowering her head in silence.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wei Changtian laughed twice, kicked the rat demon's body off the silver, and picked up a knife to carve out the demon pill.
It was the size of a quail egg and dark in color all over, and it must have been around forty years.
This black demon pill is not very popular and is 30% to 40% cheaper than other demon pills of the same size but different colors.
But this has nothing to do with Wei Changtian and the other two. They have to hand this item over when they return anyway, and they won't get a penny from it.
"Brother Wei, do we still need to go to the rat demon's cave to check it out?"
Zhou Cheng had already opened the door to the treasury at this time, and the fresh night breeze diluted the bloody smell in the room a little.
"Let's see, what if it gives birth to cubs?"
Wei Changtian nodded and gave the order: "Call the people from Zhang's house and ask them to check the well themselves. We will just guard it from above."
"good."
Zhou Cheng walked out of the treasury to call for help, and Xu Qingwan also put away her knife and prepared to go out.
But she soon discovered that Wei Changtian was still standing there without moving, and couldn't help wondering, "Why don't you leave?"
"I have something else to do, please go out first."
"What's the matter?"
“…”
Wei Changtian didn't answer, just smiled and said nothing.
Xu Qingwan realized that Wei Changtian didn't want to tell her, and after hesitating for a moment, she stopped asking and just whispered:
"Then be careful, I'll be guarding outside the door."
"If you need my help, just shout and I'll be in soon."
"Yes, I understand."
Wei Changtian nodded and watched Xu Qingwan walk out of the treasury, and by the way, he gently closed the door.
She didn't close the door completely, probably because she wanted to be able to rush in immediately if something happened.
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and do what you should do.
Look! This is what an excellent and virtuous wife should look like!
Unlike Lu Jingyao, she can do nothing but get angry with herself!
Well... that’s not the case. At least I can still organize the manuscript.
Wei Changtian thought about it for a while, then turned his attention back to the rat demon beside him that was lying on its back.
I can finally experiment with "capturing monsters"!
He sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and slowly began to operate his magical powers.
Within a few breaths, something magical happened.
The lifeless demon corpse suddenly trembled slightly, and then a milky white mist rose from its body, immediately wrapping Wei Changtian completely.
The mist seemed to be attracted by something and tried desperately to penetrate into Wei Changtian's body through his pores.
But unfortunately, most of them failed to get in, so they had to gather together and finally compressed into a small crystal gem.
The surroundings soon returned to normal, and the demon corpse remained the same as before, just a little drier than before.
“…”
After absorbing it, Wei Changtian did not stand up immediately, but meditated for about an incense stick of time before slowly opening his eyes.
Awesome!
It’s really awesome!
Just a monster with forty years of cultivation has improved his cultivation by nearly a year, directly jumping from the middle stage of the seventh rank to the late stage of the seventh rank! At this rate, if he kills another seven or eight monsters, he will be able to completely break through the seventh rank and reach the sixth rank of "releasing internal strength"!
The image of Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng surrounded by sword energy just now appeared in Wei Changtian's mind. He couldn't help but feel envious and wished he could kill the next monster right away.
It’s so cool to “steal the monster’s head”!
It can not only quickly improve your cultivation, but also earn system points, and there is also the Demon Spirit Pill... Eh? Where is the Demon Spirit Pill? Suddenly remembering this, he hurriedly looked around, and then found the crystal clear gem under his feet.
Compared with the two that Xiao Feng gave to Yang Liushi, this one is smaller. It is estimated that the cultivation contained in it should be less than twenty years.
It’s already pretty good. We should not be too greedy.
He happily put away the Demon Spirit Pill, stood up and walked to the door of the treasury.
Xu Qingwan was indeed guarding here very seriously, and Zhang Dajin, who looked nervous, was standing next to her.
Seeing Wei Changtian coming out, he kept thanking him, but his eyes couldn't help but glance into the treasury.
Wei Changtian knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master Zhang, do you want to go in and count the money and belongings?"
"Ah! My Lord, I definitely don't mean that!"
Zhang Dajin waved his hands repeatedly: "The three adults are my saviors, even if they are..."
"Okay, I didn't take anything from you."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and interrupted, "We work for the Xuanjing Division, how could we covet the money and property of the common people?"
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is truly a good official with high moral character and a heart for the people!"
Zhang Dajin kept flattering him, but in his heart he was thinking about the three magic pills that were taken away by Wei Changtian. For a moment, the smile on his face was uglier than crying.
Wei Changtian ignored him and looked at the situation in the yard.
The warriors sent into the well by the Zhang family had just come out, looking very unhappy.
Zhang Dajin was the first to run over and asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you found the rat demon's cave?!"
"Master, I found it. It's less than ten feet above the water."
The warrior took a deep breath and reported truthfully: "There are no monsters in there, but there are..."
"What?"
"There are more than a dozen skeletons, and many are scattered at the bottom of the well. I can't tell exactly how many there are..."
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.
The people from the Zhang family who were standing nearby suddenly turned pale, and some of them couldn't help but bend over and retch.
It is normal to have such a reaction when the water you drink contains human bones.
Unlike them, Wei Changtian and the other two looked at each other at this time, and they all sensed something wrong from the warrior's words.
Zhang Dajin confessed in the afternoon that only a few servants were missing, but now there are at least a dozen corpses.
Either this rat demon dragged people from somewhere else to eat, or there is another hidden secret.
Xu Qingwan wanted to investigate, but Zhou Cheng suggested not to bother with the matter.
Wei Changtian finally made a more compromising decision - he privately informed the county government officials who came to clean up the matter.
If they want to check, then they can check. If they don’t want to check, then there is nothing we can do.
Anyway, my main job is just to slay demons, so I'd better forget about investigating cases, which is a waste of time and has no benefits.
After finishing the matter, it was already midnight. Rejecting Zhang Dajin's invitation, the three decided to go to the official inn in Nanling County to rest for a night.
Sitting in the speeding carriage, Wei Changtian smiled and took out the three demon pills that he had "accidentally" put into his arms and began to "divide the spoils".
He and Zhou Cheng both consciously took a relatively cheap black demon pill each, and left the red one for Xu Qingwan.
But Comrade Xiao Xu began to feel conflicted at this time.
Just like the last time in the Zhang Mansion's treasury, I wanted it very much, but I also felt that it was ill-gotten gains...
After wasting time for a long time, she finally pulled at the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes as if asking for help.
“Um, that…”
Huh? Money laundering again?
Got it!
Wei Changtian understood what he meant and immediately grabbed the demon pill and stuffed it into Xu Qingwan's arms: "This is... uh, what excuse are you going to find this time?"
"This is the token of love you gave me." Xu Qingwan reminded in a low voice.
"Oh yeah!"
Wei Changtian said seriously: "This is a token of love I gave you, you must accept it!"
"OK!"
Xu Qingwan happily put away the demon pill and showed a satisfied smile.
Wei Changtian was no longer surprised by Xu Qingwan's "unnecessary actions", but it was the first time for Zhou Cheng to see it, and he was stunned for a moment.
Good man! You two are just passing things around here. I can't think of any other reason than that you are deliberately showing off your affection!
It’s better not to wait for this carriage!
“Plop!”
A black shadow suddenly jumped down from the carriage.
Wei Changtian leaned out of the car window and looked at Zhou Cheng who was running beside the carriage and asked in confusion: "Brother Zhou, what are you doing?"
“I, I…”
Zhou Cheng answered angrily, gasping for breath: "I would rather die of exhaustion than endure this humiliation any longer!"
I wrote more than 500 words, I regret it (end of this chapter)
