Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 29 Refining medicine and upgrading!

"What do you mean?"

Looking at the tea cup being pushed back, Qi Xiu frowned.

"not enough."

The Pai Gow mask slowly spit out two words.

Snapped!
It's a matter of wealth and life, and Qi Xiu won't be sloppy.

Another hundred taels of snowflake-patterned silver was slapped on the table, causing the tea to ripple.

Silently accepting the money, the Pai Gow mask held up three fingers.

"It's still 300 taels."

Then you just said that 500 taels would not be enough?

Rolling his eyes at the Pai Gow mask that looked like squeezing out toothpaste, Qi Xiu took out a banknote from his arms and slapped it on the table.

500 two!
The eyes exposed under the mask lit up, and the Pai Gow Mask reached out to touch the banknote.

"and many more!"

Qi Xiu held down the banknote, his face expressionless.

"Give me back the 200 taels."

The light in his eyes dimmed, and Pai Gow Mask took out the two ingots of silver from his arms and returned them.

After collecting the money, Pai Gow Mask drank the last cup of tea.

"Have."

After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the person on the other side continue to speak. Qi Xiu frowned and raised his head:
"Go on."

"No, you asked if there are any monsters, and I said yes." Pai Gow Mask spread its hands as it should.

"Little calf, are you trying to trick me like a thief?"

Qi Xiu's face suddenly darkened, and he pressed his hands on the table. The translucent energy was looming, and the whole table was shaking, as if it was about to collapse.

You can't do anything in the ghost market.

This is the rule.

But rules cannot restrain those who are out of control.

It is not unheard of in the ghost market for an ordinary man to be so angry that his blood splatters five steps.

Seeing that Qi Xiu was angry, and fearing that the other party would blow his brains out in anger, Pai Gow Mask could only say hurriedly:
"Please don't be angry, sir, I'm just kidding you.

There are indeed traces of demons emerging around Baohe County.

But it’s not just Baohe County.

The adjacent Yuyun County, Yangping County, Gou County and Dongji County all have traces of demons wandering around.

It's just that the situation is mild or severe.

Insiders speculated that there were demons in Huangtan territory and evil cultivators in Jiayi territory.

They should all have migrated from the great province of Xiangchu..."

……

After leaving Sanchafang and walking on the road, Qi Xiu was thoughtful and secretly pondered in his heart.

During this time, he purchased a lot of brochures about the territory of Daxuan, its customs, and the conditions of various provinces through the ghost market.

I also have some outlines of the dynasty I live in.

The large province of Xiangchu is adjacent to the large province of Yunnan and Sichuan.

Zhu Shanhe, the envoy of Xiangchu Festival.

He is the head of the twelve Jiedu envoys of Daxuan.

The Xiangchu province under its jurisdiction is the most peaceful province in Daxuan except Shengjing.

Both demons and cult rebels regard Xiangchu as a forbidden area and dare not set foot there.

According to Pai Gow Mask.

Since the end of this year, Zhu Shanhe has launched large-scale conquests and suppressions in Xiangchu Province many times.

As a result, the local demons and evil cultivators in the territory fled to escape the disaster.

The neighboring province of Dian and Sichuan is one of the targets of these evil cultivators.

"Oh, it's a pity that we didn't land in the big province of Xiangchu, otherwise it would have been easy."

After hearing the news he wanted, Qi Xiu sighed secretly.

The stable environment of Xiangchu Province is very suitable for him to live quietly and develop his skills slowly.

Not like the big province of Yunnan and Sichuan.

War breaks out, demons and cults run rampant, and chaos reigns.

"Xiangchu and Dianchuan are thousands of miles apart. There are countless mountains and rivers between them, and they will encounter many demons and cults.

With my current body, I am afraid that if I cannot go more than a hundred miles, I will be captured by monsters and chewed into bones and dregs. "

When he knew that Xiangchu Province was a peaceful land, Qi Xiu also thought of moving.

However, although the two provinces are adjacent to each other.But the territory of this world is many times larger than that of the previous life.

There are no planes, high-speed trains, and traveling across provinces on foot. It doesn’t take three to five years, so don’t even think about it.

Not to mention this extremely uneven environment.

……

After getting off the ghost market treasure ship, Qi Xiu walked along the bumpy mountain road to the city.

I roughly understood the surrounding situation.

His original plan of leaving the city and taking refuge in the mountains was immediately cancelled.

After all, there are many people in the city and there are city defense troops stationed there.

Even if there is a demon, it is impossible for him to come to him directly.

But if you go into the mountains alone, you will be like a cat.

The chance of being bumped into by a demon wandering outside the city is much higher.

Follow the mountain road back to the gate of Baohe County.

An article posted on the bulletin board attracted a large number of people to watch.

"In view of the fact that there have been many evil thieves in the city trying their own methods recently, the county government has specially recruited young and middle-aged people to form a night watch team to protect the people's safety. Hey, why don't you try it?"

"Okay, I haven't had much to do lately anyway. Did you see that this night watch team not only takes care of food, but also earns twenty coppers a day."

"Twenty copper coins, my dear, is enough for me to sell fruit for three or four days."

"Let's go, go to the county office to register. If you go late, you may not be able to get a spot."

Standing behind the crowd, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes when he saw many young men rushing to the county government office in high spirits.

Night watch?
Is it possible...

Did the county magistrate also see that demon last night?
……

Baohe County government office, backyard.

Taoist priest Wu, who was wearing a feather-crown robe, was sitting on a pearwood armchair, surrounded by two middle-aged men with solemn expressions and a bit of sadness.

It is the first and second leaders of Baohe County.

The county magistrate Guo Youfang and the county magistrate Tao Su.

"Taoist Master Wu, the list has been posted, but I wonder if your method can really control the demon?"

With his eyebrows twisted into the character "Chuan", Guo Youfang still asked a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate. As long as Pindao's magical weapon is successfully refined, a few little demons can be captured and killed with just a flip of his hand."

Wu Changqing nodded confidently while stroking the jade-white fly whisk in his hand.

"That's good, that's good." Hearing Wu Changqing's assurance, Guo Youfang felt slightly relieved, then turned around and said:
"Tao Xiancheng, you will be personally responsible for assisting Daoist Wu in this matter. You must not let the news leak out."

Tao Su nodded lightly:

"Don't worry, magistrate, I know what to do."

……

For five consecutive days.

I wonder if the night watch actually played a role.

Everything is calm in Baohe County.

There are even fewer Liangshang gentlemen who like to work at night.

Unprecedented peace enveloped this remote county.

Squatting in front of the medicine stove in the kitchen, Qi Xiu fanned the stove regularly to control the firepower.

Smelling the increasingly rich and mature aroma of the medicine, Qi Xiu took the time to glance at the skill panel.

[Refining medicine: 99.9%]

Once I finish taking the Jinsuo Buqi and Zhuangshen Decoction, I will be able to break through to the next level by refining the medicine.

White smoke overflowed from the vent in the lid of the medicine stove.

Qi Xiu quickly took the medicine stove off the stove.

As soon as the lid is opened, the golden soup is filled with strong fragrance.

Medicine is done!

Qi Xiu was overjoyed, and the majestic knowledge in his mind came out like a turbulent wave.

at the same time.

A mysterious feeling merged into his body again.

It took a full quarter of an hour to digest all the knowledge in my mind.

Qi Xiu blinked hard, and the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably.

"This time, I really got mad!"
