They killed a pig demon, and some constables died too. Last night they came to me to buy some coffins for the burial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An was slightly taken aback, \"What does that have to do with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Qin An had heard about the pig demon’s murders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pig demon causing trouble and the county government sending people to exorcise it was quite understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Chen Chun was quite talkative, he wouldn’t spread baseless rumors about such matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An sensed that something was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The constables haven’t come to you yet?\" Chen Chun inquired in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An found this even stranger and asked, \"Why would they come looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun averted his gaze, squeezing the lotus-wrapped pork with his fingers, \"I don’t know, but they’re looking for a butcher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An rubbed his chin, sensing something fishy here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversation, footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An turned to see two constables walking toward the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Chun’s little mustache twitched, and he hastily said, \"Don’t tell them it was me who said it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An watched Chen Chun quickly scurry into the building, feeling speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connecting what Chen Chun had just said, he guessed these two constables were indeed here for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the two constables stood before Qin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constable on the left spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring your tools and come with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone was hard, filled with a commanding air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negotiation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s nonexistent in Ding County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constables of Ding County have always held themselves above others; the fact they even addressed Qin An by name was already a sign of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An picked up a sharp knife beside him and said calmly, \"Just this knife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t ask if he had to go; when constables come knocking, there’s only one outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, upon hearing about the pig demon slaughter, Qin An linked it to his Golden Finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Butcher profession to break through to level three and gain a new talent, the prerequisite was to slaughter a Qi Storage Realm creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An didn’t know what the Qi Storage Realm was, but a pig demon was surely a creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it’s worth a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butcher profession has been upgraded to level three, and Qin An wants to know what talent has been acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constable was slightly stunned, and after recovering, patted the knife at his waist: \"Come with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they went to find other butchers not long ago, those butchers all seemed hesitant, and they suffered a lot under their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constable didn’t expect Qin An to cooperate so easily, making all the preparations they had made unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many things at the stall, and it didn’t take long for Qin An to pack up, bringing a sharp knife, and followed behind them as they headed toward the county office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The county office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding County is just a small county town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the county office isn’t big, no one dares to pass by casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two constables were guarding the entrance, and when they saw Qin An coming with the constables, they didn’t even ask, just let them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Qin An’s first time entering the county office since he crossed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, he saw many fellow butchers standing in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each butcher had a hint of evasiveness in their eyes, gathered in a circle, occasionally chatting a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front stood a middle-aged man dressed completely differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was wearing the arrest officer uniform, with a square face, and a scar running from his brow to his chin, giving him a fierce appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng pressed on the knife at his waist, listening to the exchanges among the butchers, while his fingers kept tapping on the hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An approached the courtyard, hearing the sounds from the butchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t cut through, the pork is too hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try to find the grain, cut along the grain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t cut through even along the grain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An listened to these voices, showing a look of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t been in Daqian for long, but being a level two butcher, he was quite skilled in this field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never heard of pork being uncuttable, and curiosity rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constable stepped forward, cupping his hands: \"Mr. Zheng, the person has been brought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding butchers, upon hearing the voice, subconsciously made way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng frowned, turned to Qin An, and said, \"Go and have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front was an open space, and on the open space lay a wild pig carcass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wild pig carcass was entirely black, each coarse hair like a steel spike, extremely intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly the blood-red eyes, even lying down they were half a person’s height, enough to make even mountain tigers tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An nodded, raising the sharp knife and moving to stand in front of the wild pig carcass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding peers curiously watched Qin An, as did Mr. Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the other butchers had various knives with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some for chopping bones, others for trimming meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Qin An brought just a sharp knife, looking rather odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng was pondering, feeling Qin An was somewhat unconventional, but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the County Magistrate had people besiege the pig demon, he had ordered Mr. Zheng to find a professional butcher to slaughter the pig demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just slaughtering, they could do it directly, but the County Magistrate insisted on having the butchers do it without interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng didn’t know why, but judging from the other butchers, this task seemed impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, Qin An looked very young and didn’t even have the right tools for the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng had no expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the pig demon’s corpse, Qin An felt a surge of fierce evil energy rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those fierce bandits probably couldn’t compare to this pig demon in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what a demon is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An was very glad he didn’t rashly take his knife to hunt demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because seeing the current situation, if this corpse could move, it would probably be beyond his ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An raised the sharp knife, bringing it down on the pig demon’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Qin An’s eyes became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce evil energy of the pig demon gradually disappeared in Qin An’s view, and his eyes were filled only with methods to disassemble the pig demon’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp knife fell, and a piece of pork filled with evil energy separated from the pig demon, falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butchers widened their eyes, even rubbing them in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng had little hope initially, but when he saw a piece of pork fall, he became invigorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This young butcher can actually dismantle the pig demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some constables were slightly excited but were held back by Mr. Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin An’s serious demeanor, Mr. Zheng knew he couldn’t disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If disturbed, Qin An might not continue to slaughter, and then they wouldn’t find anyone to complete the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding was very quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An maintained a serious demeanor the whole time, as piece by piece pork was continuously stripped away in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proper slaughtering requires a thorough understanding of the livestock, and each cut must be accurate to the millimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others couldn’t dismantle this pig demon because their skills weren’t sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An’s skills were adequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt himself becoming more and more proficient in the art of slaughtering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with just an ordinary iron knife, each cut precisely targeted the pig demon’s weakest points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the final cut fell, Qin An put away the sharp knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red meat orb floated in the air, with blood vessels faintly throbbing on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his first time seeing such a thing, not even knowing what this blood-red meat orb was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t the most important; the most important thing was that the text in front of him had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Butcher lv.3 (0\u002F400): The livestock you slaughtered is a bit more delicious]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Talent: Qi Concealment Blade Mastery (Your training speed for
