Chapter 250: Konggu Youlan Blood Dew
"Another wandering monk? It seems this wandering monk is the master of that previous guy." Chu Danqing looked at the elderly wandering monk who had been torn to pieces by Da Bao.
He thought he had poked a hornet's nest of wandering monks.
As for the person who beat the Three-Eyed Yaksha General to death, of course, it wasn't the Pure Yang Heavenly General, but the Jin Gang Huangjin Lishi.
Chu Danqing discovered that after his experience, knowledge, and attributes improved, it seemed he gradually didn't need detection-type equipment very much.
He himself could roughly estimate the other party's attributes and certain abilities.
This was also thanks to Chu Danqing's mastery skills providing him with a large amount of knowledge.
If he continued to grow, perhaps he could see through the enemy's reality just by his own vision.
The premise was that they couldn't be stronger than him.
This "stronger" didn't refer to combat power, but to the amount of knowledge stored.
So he suspected that at Rank 2, if one wasn't an Apostle specializing in the detection system, the price of detection-type equipment would drop significantly.
The premise for the high price of detection-type equipment was that non-detection-type Apostles could also use it; otherwise, why would most Apostles buy equipment that couldn't be used and could only be looked at?
"Brother Chu, this... where did it come from?" Yang Qianyuan could tell that the Jin Gang Huangjin Lishi was a Shinto-type spirit beast, but he couldn't figure out how Chu Danqing still had one.
Da Bao plus Big Bone, the Dual-Born Purple Mansion was already full, so how did another one appear?
"Him? He counts as off-field assistance." Chu Danqing said seriously.
The identity provided by the Paradise could indeed provide a high degree of disguise for Apostles, making systems from other trial worlds appear reasonable.
But people weren't stupid, and it wasn't cognitive distortion; everyone knew that one Purple Mansion could only refine one spirit beast, and two could be accepted, after all, it was a heaven-defying talent.
But this third one was a bit challenging to people's worldview.
Yang Qianyuan felt more and more that Chu Danqing's origin was mysterious.
"Now is not the time to talk about this; I think we should first cut the weeds and eliminate the roots." Chu Danqing immediately changed the subject.
The Fang Fu did have many people, but they couldn't withstand Chu Danqing's fierceness, and he stunned most of them on the spot.
Yang Qianyuan saw this and could only help on the scene, soon gathering everyone together.
There were at least two or three hundred people, and the existence of Da Bao plus the Jin Gang Huangjin Lishi managed to maintain order.
Xu Kequan came from a scholarly family and also had experience in this area, so he began to follow the vine to find things that could put the Fang Fu to death.
Since they had already offended them, they certainly had to crush them at the first opportunity.
Don't say, they really found something.
"It's Konggu Youlan Blood Dew." Yang Qianyuan checked a box of jade bottles that Xu Kequan had searched for, and after smelling one, his expression turned gloomy.
Xu Kequan was blank; the name sounded quite nice, but he had also smelled the scent, and it was just a fishy stench.
Chu Danqing knew even less about what it was; he had descended into this trial world for less than a day in total.
"If a Yaksha Soldier wants to become a special Yaksha General, this Konggu Youlan Blood Dew is indispensable."
"This item is refined from the blood of women; just this small bottle requires draining a woman dry." Yang Qianyuan said.
Chu Danqing and Xu Kequan's expressions turned gloomy upon hearing this.
This full box had at least a hundred or so bottles in it.
Representing at least a hundred human lives lost because of it.
"The Anyong Law stipulates that Konggu Youlan Blood Dew is a prohibited item." Yang Qianyuan added: "Someone, go invite the Prefecture Lord to preside."
"This is a major case!"
Exterminating a family was not as serious as privately manufacturing this Konggu Youlan Blood Dew.
As for why they didn't directly strictly prohibit spirit beasts like the Yaksha Soldier, that was naturally because one shouldn't stop eating for fear of choking.
Because it wasn't just the Yaksha Soldier that had this kind of evil evolution method; most spirit beasts had it, so they couldn't ban all spirit beasts.
This was the same nature as a kitchen knife; it was originally used for cutting vegetables, but one couldn't stop people from using it to commit crimes.
In the Anyong Dynasty, having weapons and armor at home was not illegal, but privately hiding and manufacturing materials used for this kind of evil evolution was a serious crime.
Xu Kequan saw this and hurriedly said: "I'll go."
After saying this, he hurriedly ran out of the Fang Fu gate.
He couldn't trust the Fang Fu retainers to do it.
Yang Qianyuan felt vaguely uneasy; the Fang Fu's spirit beast was not a Yaksha Soldier, but those two wandering monks were related to this.
Previously, when he did the Heaven's Secret Divination, he sensed that the wandering monk was widely involved and even related to the general trend of the world.
Now that Konggu Youlan Blood Dew had been exposed, if one were to say it was a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it.
The Prefecture Lord soon arrived with troops, first glancing at Yang Qianyuan. After a brief exchange of glances, they exchanged pleasantries and went to check the box of Konggu Youlan Blood Dew.
"Left and right, take everyone down and interrogate them truthfully about the source of the prohibited items." After the Prefecture Lord confirmed it, a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Fortunately, it was discovered; if it had caused more serious problems under his rule, let alone his official hat, his own life would have been at stake.
"Many thanks to everyone for your help; this official will definitely investigate strictly!" The Prefecture Lord promised, and praised Chu Danqing for being meticulous and bold.
As for Chu Danqing's previous behavior of killing people, the nature had changed; it had turned from arrogant and domineering into a righteous act.
Not only was there no punishment, but there was also a great reward.
"Prefecture Lord, I think there must be something fishy about this." A middle-aged man wearing armor and followed by a Poison-Patterned Leopard arrived, looking at everyone with unkind expressions.
Xu Kequan whispered the identity of the newcomer to Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan: "This is the backer of the Fang Fu, the Fucheng Captain, Cheng Xunyan."
The other party had received news of the Fang Fu's incident at the first opportunity, but still arrived a step late; both of his brothers-in-law were dead.
"Captain Cheng, what do you think could be fishy?" The Prefecture Lord stared at the other party without blinking.
Cheng Xunyan felt strange in his heart: usually, because he held troops, was a general under the Ning Prince, and came from a local big clan, the Prefecture Lord would respect him by three points in everything.
Why was he going against him today?
His gaze swept over the box of Konggu Youlan Blood Dew.
"Of course it's this box of Konggu Youlan Blood Dew. My Anyong Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous; where would such prohibited items come from? I think someone is deliberately trying to..." Cheng Xunyan immediately wanted to shift the blame back.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the Prefecture Lord.
"Captain Cheng, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately."
"This matter has conclusive evidence; what is fishy about it?" This time, the Prefecture Lord didn't intend to give Cheng Xunyan face.
Respecting you usually was because he had to be an official in this Guanglu Prefecture, and the tangled roots were really hard to offend.
For the sake of his official career, he naturally had to endure it.
But now, if this matter wasn't handled well, he would lose his life, and you wanted him to take the blame to protect the Fang Fu?
Used to being arrogant, did you really think he, a dignified Prefecture Lord, was your Cheng Xunyan's house slave, to be a scapegoat whenever you said so?
"Seal the file. This matter involves the Fang Fu, and Captain Cheng, you have an in-law relationship with the Fang Fu; it is not appropriate for you to intervene. Remove your armor and go back to close your doors and rest for a while."
"Wait until there is a result before resuming your post." The Prefecture Lord even took down Cheng Xunyan.
However, Cheng Xunyan smiled: "The Prefecture Lord's words are honest, but the Prefecture Lord cannot move my official position."
"Since the Prefecture Lord says there is nothing fishy, then there is nothing."
"Take these criminals and evidence, lock them up, and interrogate them well."
As the voice fell, the soldiers brought by Cheng Xunyan swarmed up, taking away all the people of the Fang Fu, and even the box of Konggu Youlan Blood Dew was confiscated.
Afterward, he glanced at the Prefecture Lord provocatively and turned to leave.
He couldn't out-talk you, but he had soldiers under his command; what could you do?
The Prefecture Lord was so angry that his face turned red.
Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan stood on the side without saying a word.
"This person seems to have a problem." Chu Danqing said.
"He cannot be separated from the Konggu Youlan Blood Dew." Yang Qianyuan said more specifically: "His arrogant and domineering appearance seemed to be to save the people of the Fang Fu, but the real goal was that box of Konggu Youlan Blood Dew."
"If nothing goes wrong, those two wandering monks were only temporarily residing in the Fang Fu, and the Konggu Youlan Blood Dew has another owner."
"This Cheng Xunyan is probably just one link, not the real seeker."
The matter involved more and more; Yang Qianyuan even suspected that this Guanglu Prefecture was just a transit station or a production site.
"Must not speak of it; Captain Cheng is an old subordinate of the Ning Prince and often interacts with the Ning Prince now." The Prefecture Lord's reminder sounded like a reminder, but in reality, he was exposing Cheng Xunyan's background.
This meant that since you felt there was another owner, then this person must be the Ning Prince.
It was just that as a Prefecture Lord, he understood what should be said and what shouldn't, so he gave a fake reminder.
Speaking of this, Chu Danqing had already put this "Ning Prince" on his list in his heart; after he completed the trial mission and the chain mission, he would find an opportunity to slaughter the Ning Prince.
"Prefecture Lord, the criminals and evidence were taken away by Captain Cheng; will it..." Xu Kequan said worriedly.
"Don't worry about this for now; I will handle it." Although the Prefecture Lord had lost face tonight, since Cheng Xunyan didn't follow the rules, don't blame him for not following the rules.
"It is getting late, and everyone has to get up early tomorrow to leave the city. I think it's better to rest well and recharge your energy so you can set off tomorrow."
The Prefecture Lord certainly wouldn't sleep tonight, but he had to send these people away.
Yang Qianyuan still wanted to say something, but Chu Danqing cupped his hands and said: "Then I will trouble Prefecture Lord to arrange it."
Xu Kequan and Yang Qianyuan were surprised to hear Chu Danqing say this; according to Chu Danqing's character, how could this matter just end like this?
He should have directly beaten Cheng Xunyan until his face was full of peach blossoms.
"Easy, easy." The Prefecture Lord replied, immediately having people take them to rest.
After they were settled, Chu Danqing looked at Yang Qianyuan and asked: "Is there any way to let Cheng Xunyan know that we are leaving the city tomorrow morning, and then have him harbor resentment and come after us for revenge?"
It wasn't easy to kill people in the city, but once out of the city, the Anyong Law wouldn't apply.
Chu Danqing said this, and Yang Qianyuan and Xu Kequan felt it was reasonable; if they really endured it, that would be the problem.
"Yes, Brother Chu, yes." Yang Qianyuan immediately said.
