Chapter 22: I've Finally Gotten It

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Shaojun successfully received his tallies.

He received eight tallies. If he included the two tallies he had received in the morning, his income for today was 860 wen.

It was quite a lot of money.

He was only about a hundred wen away from one tael of silver.

“An income of 800 wen a day in the capital is not low.”

Chen Shaojun kept the tallies. However, when he thought about how a celebrity could earn 208,000 yuan a day in his previous life, he did not pay that much attention to his income anymore.

It was because he could tell that in this world, the strong did not lack money. As for the weak, if they wanted to practice martial arts to strengthen themselves, this amount of money was simply not enough.

After that, Chen Shaojun didn’t stay here any longer.

Since he had already received the benefits, he naturally had to avoid showing his face in front of the scar-faced man.

He returned to the backyard.

Even though they couldn’t hide their fatigue, the apprentices were still standing outside the door excitedly. They were looking at a corner of the backyard and whispering.

“Who was it?”

“Who exactly did it?”

In the backyard, a crippled old man flew into a rage. Meanwhile, a large black dog was lying stiffly at his feet.

Chen Shaojun immediately understood what was going on at one glance.

“Brother Chen, you’re back?”

“Hehe, you definitely can’t think of what happened, right?”

Zhao Hu noticed Chen Shaojun’s figure and quickly called out excitedly, “See? Lame Liu’er’s dog is dead.”

“How did it die?”

“I don’t know. We only heard it let out a terrible cry. Then, we saw it lying on the ground, motionless.”

“Perhaps it suffered the wrath of the heavens?”

“The wrath of the heavens?”

“That’s right. This vile creature was a dog that relied on the power of others to commit all sorts of evil. I reckon even the heavens couldn’t bear to watch any longer. That’s why they decided to punish it by beating it to death.”

The others began to speak, their faces filled with schadenfreude.

“This beast died well. It should have died long ago.”

One of them was even gnashing their teeth.

Obviously, this person had suffered quite a bit under the hands of the black dog. Chen Shaojun glanced at him and knew that the reason this person was so resentful was mostly that he had just been bitten by the black dog a few days ago.

Then, Chen Shaojun looked at the black dog again. He realized that the black dog’s eyes were round and bloodshot. He could vaguely see endless fear in its eyes.

It had truly died with its eyes open.

“I have sinned! I have sinned!”

Chen Shaojun shuddered and stopped looking.

Meanwhile, Lame Liu’er had become tired after cursing for some time.

What about the black dog’s corpse?

No one cared about it.

It was not their turn to ask about it either.

…

Chen Shaojun quickly put this incident aside and focused on his own development.

He felt that he had gained too much today.

He received the Spirit Accumulation Pill, the Horse Taming Technique, the Four Diagnostic Methods used in traditional Chinese medicine, the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada technique, the Substitution technique, the Baleful Breaking Ruler, as well as the Substitution technique.

Oh right, there was also the Elemental Spirit Pearl that he had already used.

The effects of the rewards were different, but they could all be considered rare treasures.

They were all extremely helpful to him.

Especially the Elemental Spirit Pearl.

It tempered his body, established his Dao foundation, and even increased his lifespan by 30 years.

Furthermore, there were Daoist true techniques like the Supreme Sense Scripture that he could constantly cultivate to increase his strength.

However, he also noticed something.

The more good things he had, the faster his strength and methods would improve. As a result, the risk of him being discovered would become greater as time went by.

Luckily, there were no true experts in the pawnshop. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hide for so long.

After all, the changes in a person’s essence, energy, and vitality could not escape the senses of a true expert.

“Therefore, I need to learn martial arts as soon as possible.”

“I need to let the people in the pawnshop have a reasonable guess about the changes in my essence.”

Chen Shaojun pondered.

Then, he gave up on the idea of learning martial arts from Xu Hongtao.

Previously, since he did not know any martial arts or any martial arts cultivation methods, he wanted to start with learning from Xu Hongtao.

But since he had received the Tiger Demon Body Tempering Fist as his reward from an appraisal, there was naturally no need for him to learn martial arts from Xu Hongtao.

After all, he did not want his strength to be exposed to the other party.

Xu Hongtao’s strength might not be great, but he could also be considered a veteran who traveled all over the martial world. Thus, his sense of judgment was very sharp.

It was very difficult for Chen Shaojun to guarantee that he would not reveal any of his secrets in front of Xu Hongtao.

“In that case, I need to go out tomorrow and find a training hall to hang around. Then, I need to learn some martial arts to fool people.”

Chen Shaojun came up with a plan.

In reality, what he wanted more was the legendary aura-concealing technique, the Spirit Concealing technique. He knew that the rewards from the Psychic Treasure Mirror were all-encompassing and definitely included such a technique.

However, it was a pity that the rewards from the Psychic Treasure Mirror were random.

What he wanted might not be rewarded to him.

Then, Chen Shaojun closed his eyes and cultivated the Supreme Sense Scripture to visualize the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array.

Traces of qi immediately gathered in his dantian.

…

“After 20 years, and a few twists and turns, this jade ruyi has finally landed in the hands of the Peng family.”

In a room, a tall and sturdy figure had an excited look on his face.

This figure was naturally the scar-faced man surnamed Peng who had committed a massacre.

Furthermore, he was actually Peng Dongcheng, the son of the patrolling guard who was exiled 20 years ago.

Half a year ago, during a gathering, he had personally seen Zhao Quan take out the jade ruyi. Back then, he had taken a mental note of it and quickly recognized that it belonged to the Peng family.

This was especially because of the pearl embedded in the upper part of the jade ruyi.

Twenty years ago, his father might not have recognized it and only thought of it as a top-grade gem.

However, in his many years of exile, Peng Dongcheng had other fortuitous encounters. Thus, his knowledge was more extensive than his father’s.

That was why he could recognize that this pearl was most likely the legendary treasure of heaven and earth, the Elemental Spirit Pearl.

When he thought about how precious the Elemental Spirit Pearl was and how the jade ruyi itself belonged to the Peng family, he immediately came up with an idea.

One night, he secretly made a trip to Zhao Quan’s home and proposed a deal to buy the jade ruyi.

Unfortunately, Zhao Quan did not agree and immediately rejected the deal.

Peng Dongcheng looked regretful, but he had already expected this.

Perhaps his killing intent had formed when he found out that Zhao Quan was here to avoid trouble, and that he had no family or friends in the capital.

Therefore, he drew his sword the moment Zhao Quan rejected him.

Once the killing intent was released, there was no longer any mercy.

The seven members of the Zhao family soon died under his sword.

However, his methods weren’t shrewd enough. Shouts of murder rang out from the courtyard.

After all, the capital was known as the Six-Spirited Capital. Thus, there were countless martial arts experts.

The speed at which the officials from the government arrived had also been beyond his expectations.

After a moment of hesitation, he could only retreat.

Then, he could only watch helplessly as the jade ruyi and the other treasures of the Zhao family were sealed by the government.

Fortunately, no one in the government had noticed the uniqueness of the pearl at the top of the jade ruyi.

Thus, he patiently waited until the six-month public announcement period was over.

After finding out that this batch of treasures had been taken away by the shopkeeper of the Lin Pawnshop, he deliberately waited for a day before paying a visit. After buying it as a normal customer would, he finally obtained this treasure.

“It’s been more than a year.”

“I’ve finally gotten it.”

“Although the past six months have been torturous…”

“But it’s all worth it.”

Peng Dongcheng was very excited. The scar on his face seemed to be trembling along with his excitement, making it appear especially sinister..
