Chapter 72 Law Enforcement Hall
As darkness fell, Chen Moxuan looked at the monster meat that he couldn't fit into his storage bag, feeling extremely regretful.
The squad had never fought such a large-scale annihilation battle before, and the spoils from this operation, plus the three storage bags provided by Yang Lie, were not enough.
He pondered whether he should buy a few more storage bags after returning to Moya Mountain, just in case.
"It's such a waste to have so much monster meat left over."
Tian Yulei focused his consciousness into the storage bag, thinking that it would be good to squeeze in some more space.
The meat of the Firehorn Rhinoceros is worth almost twice as much as that of the Green Wood Ape, and he would feel terrible if he gave it up.
Chu He was doing the same thing, throwing away some low-value items that he could discard.
If some things weren't lost, that's fine; but if they were lost and he couldn't bring them back, he would blame himself.
Ji An glanced at the remaining meat, coughed, and said:
"I think if each of us carries half a piece of meat with us when we ride the Talisman Bird, we should be able to take it all with us."
Each talisman bird can carry up to 500 jin (250 kg), and even to ensure flight speed, each of them can carry more than 200 jin (100 kg) of demon beast meat.
"We can mask the smell of blood with medicine powder. The temperature at night is relatively suitable, but what about during the day?"
By the time we returned to Moyashan, the meat had already begun to rot.
"We've run out of Cold Wind Talismans; we have no other way to lower the temperature."
Jiang Qiuyue shook her head and sighed. No one had the magic to lower the temperature.
"I can."
As his magical power circulated within his immortal veins, Ji An gently raised his hand, and a gust of cold wind blew past. The blood dripping from the half-eaten piece of beast meat at his feet immediately froze, and a layer of frost formed on the surface of the meat.
"Let's do it this way!"
Chen Moxuan felt that he could discover surprises at any moment, and everyone's expressions lit up. Bringing back so much beast meat would bring in dozens more crystals.
After Ji An performed the spell, the group took out an oilcloth, covered the animal meat with it, and tied it up.
Since flying at night is not advisable, they simply found a desolate place to set up a sealing array, assigned the night watch order, and then the guards went to sleep during the second half of the night.
Five days later.
When the cultivators who went out to hunt demons saw Ji An and his group returning carrying their loot, they couldn't help but wonder what they had gained, since their storage bags couldn't hold it all.
The team visited several restaurants and easily processed the fire bull rhinoceros meat.
As Chen Moxuan walked out of the restaurant, he said:
"You three go and handle the other materials. Junior Brother Ji and I will go to the sect's Enforcement Hall. We'll meet at Zuixianju tonight."
The attack had to be reported, even though he knew those rogue cultivators had probably already fled far away, he couldn't let this go unpunished.
Once a criminal record is established, the sect will issue a warrant for the arrest within its jurisdiction.
If it weren't for their junior brother's ingenious plan, it's uncertain whether they would have been able to return.
"Okay!"
Tian Yulei readily agreed, as he was very satisfied with the amount of crystals he had obtained from selling the monster meat.
"Senior sister, senior brother, leave me two animal hides and twenty bottles of demon beast blood. I'll buy them at market price later."
Ji An instructed him that he would definitely have to learn fire magic in the future. The materials on the Fire Horned Rhinoceros were all top-quality, and as a talisman maker, he should naturally keep some good things for himself.
Jiang Qiuyue said generously, "Okay, I'll save the best quality for my junior brother."
"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Senior Sister."
Ji An cupped his hands in farewell to the three men, and then he and Chen Moxuan left the market and headed up the mountain.
Moya Mountain has only been occupied by sects for a few years. After all, it is a wild and desolate place, and the mountain protection formation will automatically attack flying objects.
To enter the spiritual vein, one must descend from the foot of the mountain and proceed on foot.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the great formation. Two Qi Refining stage disciples on duty immediately stepped forward and asked upon seeing someone arrive:
"Who goes there? What brings you here?"
Chen Moxuan stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"My name is Chen Moxuan, and this is Ji An. We are both disciples of the sect."
A few days ago, while our team was out hunting demons, we were ambushed by several rogue cultivators.
"Prepare to proceed to the Enforcement Hall to report the details."
As he spoke, he took out his own jade token and handed Ji An's token over to the disciple on duty for verification.
After the disciple on duty checked, his expression softened.
One of them returned the jade token and said coldly:
"These rogue cultivators are truly audacious, daring to ambush our sect's disciples within the sect's territory! They deserve to die!"
He changed the subject and asked with concern:
"Did my junior brother's team suffer any casualties?"
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. We reacted quickly and did not suffer any losses."
However, they were still engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters, allowing these clowns to escape.
"It's good that there are no casualties. Junior brothers, hurry up and go in to report."
The Enforcement Hall is located on the fork in the road to the left after entering. You cannot linger in the spiritual vein; go and return quickly.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."
Chen Moxuan cupped his hands in greeting, and the two entered the spiritual vein and found the Law Enforcement Hall.
They were greeted by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. After Ji An recounted the situation, he took out the captured magic sword:
"Master Uncle, this is a magical artifact that I obtained after killing the attacker. I wonder if I can extract its energy?"
The cultivator accepted the magical artifact and smiled:
"Not bad, they actually managed to kill one person, and didn't tarnish the sect's reputation."
Only a few days have passed; of course, we can extract the Qi.
"Okay, I've extracted it."
The Enforcement Hall will verify the information you report through its own channels. If the information is true, you will receive a reward of 100 contribution points.
Come back in a month and check on the progress.
Upon hearing that he could still earn contribution points, Ji An felt that killing this cultivator was worthwhile.
After completing the procedures, the two left the spiritual vein, and Chen Moxuan said:
“Every few months, the Enforcement Hall compiles a wanted list, which includes various rewards.”
"Junior brother, if you're frequently away from home in the future, remember to go to the Enforcement Hall to collect your jade slip."
Zuixianju (Drunken Immortal Abode)
Inside the private room, glasses clinked and the atmosphere was lively.
The monster-hunting team had two great successes in a row, and everyone's face was filled with a genuine smile.
Ji An subconsciously patted his storage bag. In addition to the animal hide and the essence blood of the demon beast, he also received 256 spirit stones.
He single-handedly killed the calamity cultivator, and all the spoils were his alone.
In less than a month, I've earned over four hundred spirit stones. If I can maintain this kind of income for a few months, won't I have enough Foundation Establishment Pills?!
However, he also knew that it would be difficult to encounter such a harvest in the future. If hunting demons really earned crystals this much, who would still stay obediently in the sect?
When the wine was half-finished, Jiang Qiuyue turned her head and asked:
"Junior brother, your Lesser Cloud Rain Technique has such a wide coverage area, what level have you reached in your practice?"
"Perfect".
"What about the Geng Metal Finger and the Water Curtain Technique?"
Jiang Qiuyue suddenly shook her head and said:
“I’ve asked too many questions, junior brother, you don’t need to answer.”
Asking such detailed questions is a bit taboo, after all, they are not teammates who will be spending a long time together.
"It's alright to tell my senior sister, as both of these spells are at the perfect level."
Ji An said frankly that there was no need to hide these two frequently used spells, and that others should have already deduced some of the facts.
Being more honest will allow everyone to have a more realistic assessment of his abilities and will also help in choosing a suitable hunting area for the team.
