Chapter 51
Essence Blood, Spiritual Enlightenment
"Everyone, this matter has nothing to do with Aning. The main responsibility lies with me, and I am willing to compensate you."
Tang Jing took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Everyone looked at him, their faces moved.
Knowing that this person was from Yanling Village, they dared not provoke him easily and only dared to target Liao Ning.
Unexpectedly, the other party offered compensation.
Everyone's expressions softened.
"Young Master Tang, how much compensation can your Yanling Village offer? Our leader met with misfortune while helping you capture the black wildebeest."
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll discuss this with my father when I get back, and I definitely won't let you down..."
"No! Let's make this clear right here, and we need to sign a written agreement. Otherwise, if you run away, who will we complain to?"
Seeing that Tang Jing was easy to talk to, the crowd became bolder and their attitude became more assertive.
Seeing this, Liu Dachuan and the others frowned, finding it hard to watch.
They could hardly imagine that Heishan Village, with which they had always maintained friendly relations, could have such a despicable character.
One of Tang Jing's young companions sneered, "Jing, why bother with them? If you ask me, just kill a few of the loudest ones, and they'll behave."
"Ah Lie, the accident happened to their family because of us. How can you say such a thing?" Tang Jing frowned.
"Fine, fine, I won't say anything more." Qin Lie shrugged helplessly.
"Qin Lie, you're all out now, so behave yourself and stop talking nonsense. Do you think we're some kind of ungrateful scoundrels?"
His companion glared at him, clearly annoyed.
Qin Lie's ideas are very dangerous; we dare not let him do anything reckless.
……
"Is there some trouble going on in the south of the village?"
Shen Kun glanced at the camp south of the village; it was noisy and bustling, but it didn't seem like a festive occasion.
"Something must have happened."
Shen Yi waved his hand and urged, "Stop dawdling, hurry up and deliver the meat to Mo Guanhai's residence."
"I know, big brother. I was just curious." Shen Kun grinned and carried six baskets of raw meat toward Mo Guanhai's house.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, walked leisurely behind his younger brother with his hands behind his back.
In no time at all.
Mo Guanhai knew the two were coming, so he immediately opened the door and let them in.
His gaze fell on the six baskets full of raw meat, and he said sarcastically:
"What, you've brought me this whole bunch of raw meat again? Are you up to something?"
"Don't say that, Fifth Master Mo. I saw that there were quite a few people working in your mansion, and I was worried that you wouldn't have enough meat to eat, so I hunted some more game on the mountain."
Shen Yi maintained his smile.
"I know you well enough to know you're a sly one."
Mo Guanhai lay back in a rattan chair, rocking back and forth. "Tell me, what do you want to trade with this old man?"
"I'd like to see if Master Mo has anything similar to that sheepskin scroll from last time. If so, Master Mo, please name your price."
Last time, we got the wooden puppet soldier blueprints from Mo Guanhai, which freed them up at night so they could have plenty of time to rest.
"You've asked me so many times lately. I've already told you, the old man really only has that one sheepskin scroll."
Mo Guanhai was quite helpless.
Ever since that little brat left with that sheepskin scroll last time, he's come over every few days to ask about it.
I don't know what use that thing is, that makes the little brat so persistent.
"Alright."
Shen Yi let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong? Judging from your expression, you seem quite interested in that sheepskin scroll with the wooden puppet in the picture?" Mo Guanhai asked with a smile.
Shen Yi smiled and replied, "I'm quite curious about wooden objects and I'm thinking of studying carving in my spare time. I'll just treat it as a pastime."
"So that's how it is."
Mo Guanhai chuckled, then thought for a moment and said, "I do have some wooden trinkets here. Come with me and see if there's anything you like."
He walked towards the mansion with his hands behind his back.
Enter the mansion.
He walked through several corridors and finally stopped in a rather secluded storage room.
The portal has been opened.
"Take a look, these are some things I collected in the past. Take whatever you like."
Shen Yi went inside and found that it was indeed filled with a bunch of discarded items.
Wooden sword, wooden knife, wooden stick...
They are all ordinary wooden products, most of which are incomplete.
Shen Yi looked down on these things.
Until his gaze fell on a stake with human-shaped arms carved out and wrapped in strips of cloth.
Lines of golden text coalesced before my eyes.
[Like a master teacher, the practice of standing meditation teaches without words!]
[Spirit Blood Wooden Dummy - Level 0]
[Function: Can assist in the practice of martial arts techniques]
【Characteristics: None】
【Durability: 0/100】
……
Shen Yi's gaze swept over it unintentionally, and his expression immediately changed.
It can aid in cultivation?!
He actually found a treasure in this pile of junk.
Obviously.
This item is no ordinary thing; it was crafted by a master who refined it using his own life essence.
Just as Shen Yi was feeling excited, he suddenly noticed another item.
[The hidden soldiers are concealed within the frame, their gleam shining forth!]
[Spirit Weapon Rack - Level 0]
[Function: Weapon storage]
【Characteristics: None】
【Durability: 0/100】
……
This thing is alright, I'll take it!
Apart from these two items, there's nothing particularly special about the rest.
There are three wooden dummy sets made of essence blood, and two weapon racks.
Shen Yi quickly picked them out from the pile of clutter and turned to Mo Guanhai, saying:
"Fifth Master Mo, is it alright if I take these five items?"
"You've got good taste, kid."
Mo Guanhai was somewhat surprised, stroked his long beard and laughed, "These are all things I once found in the black market from a paper-mache cultivator. I heard they have unique abilities, such as teaching people to practice martial arts and imbuing weapons with spirit."
"That guy clearly took advantage of my youth and naivety, fooling me with a bunch of useless, defective products. Looking back now, I still find it hateful!"
talking.
A cold glint flashed in Mo Guanhai's eyes, and his five fingers clenched into a fist, making a cracking sound.
He then waved his hand and said:
"Take it and see if you can figure something out. Then this old man can see if this thing is really as mysterious as the cultivator said."
"Ah Kun, take this."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi gave Ah Kun a look, and the two quickly picked up their things.
"Then we won't disturb you any longer, Fifth Master Mo. We'll take our leave now. If we catch any more game in the future, we'll definitely send it to you again."
Back in the courtyard.
Shen Yi bid farewell to Mo Guanhai, then took Shen Kun and left at a very fast pace.
"Wait, I haven't paid for these six baskets of raw meat yet."
Mo Guanhai called out from behind them.
"No need, these items are already paid for."
Hearing the sound return, Mo Guanhai's smile gradually spread, and he said:
"These two lads... are quite interesting."
"I wish I had a grandson like that."
He has no children, which is indeed a source of regret for him now.
