Chapter 57: Gains

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

Under the moonlight, Lin Yan crawled out of a cave in a dilapidated temple. Outside the temple, a group of weak and whimpering beggars were already waiting here.

When they heard the commotion, they all staggered over. “Please! Please!”

Lin Yan frowned. He took out a handful of copper coins and threw them to the side. The beggars immediately surrounded him, and Lin Yan took the opportunity to leave quickly.

After finding a secluded place where no one was around, he burned his mask and robe and washed away the scattered bloodstains. The sky had already turned bright.

Lin Yan quickly returned. Perhaps it was because he had just killed someone and his murderous aura was still present, so no ignorant people came to find trouble. Lin Yan heaved a long sigh of relief when he returned to Dragon Gate

Pavilion.

He was about to enter the pavilion.

Suddenly, the ground shook slightly. The door of Tiger Camp next to Dragon Gate Pavilion suddenly opened.

Two to three hundred Tiger Camp soldiers in standard leather armor walked out in a phalanx, their footsteps shaking the ground.

“This is… Tiger Camp setting off?!”

The commotion quickly alarmed the others. Many disciples ran out.

“Eh, Senior Brother Lin, you’re out too?”

Lin Yan nodded as a greeting. “The Tiger Camp has set off?!”

“It’s about time.”

“I wonder how many of these two to three hundred people will survive.”

“It can’t be helped. They’re unlucky.”

‘You said that the Dingdeng Battle is held once every four years. What is it for?” ‘Who knows? It’s all arranged by the big shots above.”

“Isn’t anyone against it? Isn’t it ridiculous to fight to the death for no reason?”

‘Who knows…”

The faces of the Tiger Camp soldiers were numb and terrified, but Lin Yan noticed that there was no fear on the faces of the more than ten officers. From time to time, they would turn around and look at him meaningfully.

Don’t officers have to participate in the Dingdeng Battle?

After watching for a while, Lin Yan returned to the courtyard after the soldiers disappeared at the end of the road.

Xiaozhi was sleeping at Senior Sister Chen’s place. He could use this time to organize his gains.

He lit the oil lamp and brought it to the courtyard. Then, he laid out the items in the bag.

16 bottles of Nether Return Powder, a mysterious poisonous stone, a Spirit Crystal, an Iron Pagoda, a piece of cloth filled with scribbled words, an iron token, two red and one white bone porcelain bottles, two black poisonous smoke bombs, nearly 40 taels of silver, and some other scattered things like daggers. Lin Yan felt that they were useless.

Most of these things were obtained from Gan Yang. The other five were simply poor. Other than contributing more than ten taels of silver, they only had some useless items on them. It felt like they had wasted their trip on the Ghost

Market.

“Killing and robbing is truly rewarding. When I go out to buy things, I don’t lose any money. Instead, it has increased by two to three times!”

As soon as he relaxed, excitement and joy surged.

Compared to the mysterious and unknown things like Poison Stones and Spirit Crystals, the white silver made him happier.

40 taels of silver. This was the first time he had seen such a huge sum of money since he came to this world!

This time, he had the money for the combat at Qinghong Martial Arts School and the Body Nourishing Soup. He felt that he had everything and he was free!

There were too many things. Lin Yan checked them one by one.

He first took out the mysterious poisonous stone and lifted the black cloth wrapped around it.

Other than the color, no matter how one looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone.

Lin Yan held the stone with one hand and circulated his blood energy. He squeezed hard and heard the stone crack into three pieces.

“This is…”

In the middle of the stone, a round and translucent jade-colored bead fell out!

As soon as it appeared, wisps of dense thread-like green smoke rose from the cracks in the stone. contemporary romance

Lin Yan accidentally sucked in a wisp of it, and a scorching heat surged from his lungs.

“This is poison, and it’s actually so strong?’

Lin Yan’s heart tightened. He immediately entered the house and took out a small water bag. He stuffed the jade-colored bead into the bag and sealed it.

With such strong toxicity, if it leaked, it would be very easy to hurt Xiaozhi.

Then, he looked at the three shattered rocks. The bronze color on them was slowly fading, turning into wisps of faint smoke that fluttered out. Soon, they turned into three ordinary gray rocks.

“It seems that this stone looks like it’s completely because of that Jade Poison Pearl. What is this thing? Why is it so poisonous?”

After ensuring that the water bag was sealed and that the poisonous fog would not leak, Lin Yan kept the water bag close to him.

Then, he pinched the Spirit Crystal and observed.

Compared to the Jade Poison Pearl, this Spirit Crystal was much more ordinary. Other than the golden patterns on the surface, it was really like a bone.

“Gan Yang said that this thing can increase one’s aptitude and help one break through realms. I don’t know how to use it. Moreover, the material of this bone doesn’t look like any proper medicine no matter how I look at it.”

The origin of this Spirit Crystal was unknown, and it was in the form of a strange bone. Under the circumstances that Lin Yan did not understand, he temporarily wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hid it in the gap of his clothes.

Then, he picked up the Iron Pagoda and flipped through it.

As expected, this was a martial arts secret manual. According to the introduction on it, it was at least a secret technique. It was a martial arts cultivation technique that trained one’s resistance to attacks.

It recorded that it had a stone pagoda, an iron pagoda, and the jade pagoda that the creator imagined. There were a total of three levels. When it was cultivated to the highest depths, his skin would be as hard as jade. He would be unharmed even if he was cut by knives and axes.

Logically speaking, with such a powerful effect, this cultivation technique should be a martial technique that was difficult to obtain even if one had a lot of money. It should be enough to be regarded as a foundation by a faction.

However, the principle of this technique was to forcefully increase the potential of the body. When practicing, it would cause great damage to the skin and internal organs.

He had to use an extremely precious special prescription to recover every day before he could continue.

The specific herbs for the prescription were also recorded in the book. They were either rare or completely extinct.

Therefore, the person who died in the Blood Drop Cave did not even master Stone Pagoda. That was why he was kicked half to death by Lin Yan.

‘What a pity. This thing is not even of any value now. It’s purely a useless martial art. Even if I sell it, it will at most sell for a few taels of silver.”

Putting it aside, Lin Yan picked up another piece of cloth filled with messy handwriting. This was found on Poison Master Gan Yang.

The words were messy, as if he had casually taken notes. Furthermore, there was no order at all. Lin Yan only understood after reading all the words with difficulty.

“Is this Gan Yang’s notebook? There are scattered records of Gan Yang’s research on the antidote, but he hadn’t succeeded for the time being.

“Therefore, in the end, he could only use his unique secret medicine, the Three Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder, to create a medicine that could temporarily numb one’s senses.

“No wonder that waiter stuck his arm into the poison and thought that he was fine.”

The Three Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder could not cause death, but it could numb one’s muscles and bones, making one sore and powerless to resist.

Gan Yang also proudly recorded on the cloth that he had refined a hundred portions of the Three Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder according to a certain method into one portion of the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder. The medicinal effect was greatly enhanced, and even a Noble Realm martial artist could not withstand it.

“A martial artist’s blood energy circulation is fast, which means that their metabolism is extremely strong.

“The stronger a martial artist is, the less likely they are to be poisoned.

“This Gan Yang was really a genius in the Dao of Poison for being able to develop a drug that can knock down someone two realms higher.

“If not for the special effect of detoxification, making me immune to all poisons, even if ten of me were added together, I wouldn’t be his match.

“Unfortunately, there’s no prescription for the poison powder on it. There’s only these two bottles…”

Lin Yan picked up two red and one white porcelain bottles. The red bottles contained the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder, and the white bottle was their antidote.

“I don’t lack poison now. This medicine is shockingly effective. It might be useful at a critical time.’

He placed it together with the poisonous smoke bomb found on Gan Yang’s body and placed it in a small bag, carefully tying it around his waist.

Finally, there was the black iron token. He picked it up and took a look.

The words “Guest Elder” were engraved on the front, and there were fine patterns on the back.

Looking at this token, Lin Yan remembered that Zhang San had said that Gan Yang was a guest of the City Lord Manor.

Thinking about it, it was strange. Gan Yang had reputation and ability. He could even get 100 bottles of Three Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder. He was really rich. Why would he take such a huge risk for a Spirit Crystal?

Lin Yan could only say that he might really be a lunatic.

As such, after sorting out all the gains from the Blood Drop Cave and arranging them by category, especially the poisonous items, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight was just right. The morning air emitted the smell of everything reviving.

Although Lin Yan hadn’t slept the entire night, his blood energy was constantly replenished, so he didn’t feel tired. He went to the dining room to get breakfast and rushed straight to Chen Yuan’s house to knock on the door.

“Junior Brother Lin, you’re here.”

“Senior Sister Chen, good morning. I brought you breakfast. ‘

After a few days of classes, Lin Yan and Chen Yuan gradually became familiar with each other. Under Lin Yan’s strong request, she also changed the name of Mr. Lin to Junior Brother Lin, and their communication gradually became casual.

Chen Yuan raised her slender hand and yawned. “You came at the right time. I was thinking the questions you left last time. I’m hungry.”

Under the warm sunlight, Chen Yuan stood elegantly. Her simple plain clothes swayed in the wind. She casually shook the stack of thin pages in her hand, as if it was disrupting the sunlight. There was a hint of languidness on her face without makeup, like a white pear flower on the lake.

After entering the courtyard, Xiaozhi ran over and threw herself into Lin Yan’s arms.

“Brother!”

Lin Yan carried Xiaozhi.

“Xiaozhi, how was your sleep yesterday?”

“I slept very well! I slept with Sister Chen Yuan!’

“You’re still talking.” Chen Yuan slapped her chest with the paper angrily.

Lin Yan: ”

He turned his face away to avoid the surging waves and patted Xiaozhi’s head.. “Let’s eat, let’s eat!”
