Chapter 137 The Magical Uses of the Demon Pill

"Convert it into cash for me?"

Shen Qing was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that the county magistrate Du Yuntong had no intention of embezzling money.

But he changed his mind and thought that this might not be a means for Du Yuntong to win people's hearts.

Shen Qing glanced at Wang Sanbao and Li Heqing, and seeing their smiling faces, he became more certain.

Although Du Yuntong asked Wang Sanbao and Li Heqing to buy the tiger monster and convert it into cash for him, given the minds of these two old foxes, they would definitely not be stupid enough to buy it directly and bring it back to make Du Yuntong unhappy.

After all, tiger monsters are rarely seen, and their bodies are full of treasures, so everyone would covet them.

Although the two men claimed to be the bosses, they were both businessmen without much status in Da Zhou. If they wanted to survive in Taiping County, they must have the principle of leaning against a big tree.

The most likely possibility is that the two of them bought it and then gave it back to the county magistrate Du Yuntong under various names.

At this time, Wang Sanbao looked at Shen Qing and asked, "Does Young Master Shen have a place to stay in the inner city?"

"I am staying in the outer city temporarily. I don't have a house in the city." Shen Qing said truthfully with a smile on his face.

Wang Sanbao smiled and said, "My Wang family happens to have an unused small courtyard in the inner city. If Young Master Shen doesn't mind, I will exchange three hundred taels and a house for the tiger bones of this tiger monster."

Generally speaking, tiger bones have the effects of dispelling wind, unblocking meridians, strengthening tendons and bones. They are wild delicacies and have miraculous effects on helping martial artists consolidate their cultivation.

This demon tiger is probably even more effective.

Wang Sanbao was a man who knew what was good. A house in the inner city cost about three or four hundred taels, so all together it would only be about six or seven hundred taels, so it wasn't a lot he spent.

Shen Qing knew that although he seemed to be the protagonist today, he was actually just a foil, so he did not bargain any more and said, "Then I will do as the boss says."

"Okay." Wang Sanbao immediately took out the house deed that he had prepared long ago and placed it on the table, saying, "Young Master Shen, as long as you sign on it, my house in the east of the city will belong to you."

Shen Qing glanced at the house deed with a normal expression, and was very tactful not to ask Wang Sanbao why he brought the deed with him to the banquet, and why he even had the official seal of the government ready...

He took a look and found nothing wrong, so he signed his name directly, put his handprint on it, put it in his arms, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

After Wang Sanbao finished dealing with it, Li Heqing stepped forward and said, "Since Brother Wang wants the tiger bones, then I'll take the tiger skin and tiger whip. I see that Young Master Shen doesn't have a good horse, so why don't I give Young Master Shen a precious horse, plus three hundred taels."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

A servant came up outside the house, leading a precious horse.

Shen Qing looked around and saw a black horse standing in the yard.

Its body was as black as ink, its fur was as smooth as a mirror, its mane was flying, and its limbs were strong and powerful.

Even Shen Qing, who didn't know much about horses, knew that this black horse was extraordinary and was a true steed.

A good horse was exactly what he needed. Shen Qing's face lit up and he said, "Then I'd be honored to accept it."

"Hahaha, Young Master Shen is young and promising. It is an honor for this horse to be your mount." Li Heqing said with a smile.

In no time, the few of them cut up the entire tiger monster.

County Magistrate Du Yuntong said, "Zhang Zaoyi, call a few people to skin and bone this tiger monster and pack it up for the two masters."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Outside the house, officials came forward and carried all the tiger monsters to the side room to slaughter them.

After the tiger demon was carried away, the bloody smell in the hall slowly dissipated until it completely disappeared. County Magistrate Du Yuntong waved to everyone and said, "Okay, we have finished all the chores. Everyone come over to have a drink. Wang Bantou should also come over."

Wang Yanjun's face was calm and he didn't say much. He clasped his hands together in greeting and sat down next to Shen Qing.

After all, she is a female martial artist, and with a good foundation, Wang Yanjun has an excellent figure.

She sat up straight in the chair, looking quite graceful, and with her tight clothes, people couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

"Come on, everyone raise your glasses. Taiping County has gotten rid of a demon, which is a great joyous event." County Magistrate Du Yuntong said loudly, raising the glass in his hand.

The others all respectfully picked up their glasses with both hands and said happily, "Congratulations!"

Putting down his wine glass, Du Yuntong picked up his chopsticks to pick up some food.

As the official of Taiping County, he is, to some extent, the Marquis of Baili, who holds the power of life and death, and has many talented people under him.

In this Taiping County, a single word can decide life and death.

Therefore, even though he looked very approachable and casual, everyone dared to start eating only after he was the first to do so, not daring to overstep their boundaries.

After three rounds of drinking, Du Yuntong sighed and said, "It's a pity that this tiger demon is a little bit off. Otherwise, if it could condense an inner elixir, it would be a first-class treasure for practitioners like me."

Neidan?

Shen Qing's eyes lit up.

He pretended to be confused and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"

Du Yuntong glanced at Shen Qing and said, "To be honest, Taiping County is not the first place where monsters appear."

"what?"

Du Yuntong continued, "About thirty years ago, a comet fell from the sky, and there were records of monsters appearing in various parts of the Great Zhou. However, they were all relatively weak, and were killed on the spot before they could cause much trouble."

"During this process, the court discovered that some of the spirits and monsters that had reached the level of Taoism contained inner elixirs. These elixirs can be brewed and consumed together with medicinal soup to strengthen the vital energy and consolidate the sea of ​​​​qi. The effect is comparable to the elixir brewed by the court, or even better. Some powerful families have already learned about this and secretly purchased the demon pills. No matter what the quality of a demon pill is, the starting price is more than a thousand taels."

"The starting price is over a thousand taels?" Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the red inner elixir in his arms seemed a little hot.

This price is much more precious than those rare mountain delicacies.

Wang Sanbao and others heard of it for the first time and could not help but be secretly shocked.

After a moment, Li Heqing asked, "Your Excellency, I wonder why there are monsters like this in the world today?"

"I don't know the details. This matter is being investigated by the Tianjishu of the court. It is said that it was caused by a fall from the sky. Our world has been infected by monsters from foreign lands. I don't know whether it is true or not. I can only say that we should practice hard to avoid disasters in the future when we are powerless to protect ourselves." County Magistrate Du Yuntong looked at everyone meaningfully and said with a smile.

"Come on, if the sky falls, there will be someone higher to hold it up, let's drink some wine."

"Your Excellency, please do as you please. I will do it now."

After a few more drinks, the scene became more heated.

At this time, the police from the Zao Squad had already disassembled the tiger monster and walked in and said, "Two masters, we have taken care of your things."

Wang Sanbao took the wooden box, opened it and took a quick look. Then he walked to the county magistrate Du Yuntong with the box and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, there are a lot of tiger bones here. Why don't you take some?"
