What a lucky world!

Chapter 44: First time hearing about Tianji Sect! It’s hard to save the poor!
"I saved a person on the road, and he gave me this thing as a reward for saving his life." Zhang Mu said casually.

Xuan Ji: (=｀ω=)
Just save someone and you get this thing?

Is this the talent of a person with great luck?
"That person probably didn't expect that there was another pill inside this pill. Do you know what pill this is?" Zhang Mu continued to ask.

Xuan Ji pondered for a moment and said, "I've never seen such a pill before, but..."

As she spoke, Xuan Ji took a little bit of the black and white pill with her claws and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes and felt it for a while, saying, "This feeling is somewhat similar to the Nirvana Golden Body Pill of Buddhism."

"Looking at its appearance, it looks like a lost elixir, meow."

"Lost elixir?" Zhang Mu's eyes lit up. "What is it?"

"The Taoist Liangyi Xiantian Pill," Xuan Ji said, "is a secret elixir from the Taoist Tianji Sect."

"Tianji Sect?" Zhang Mu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name.

"Meow!" Xuan Ji nodded. "He was once the leader of the Taoist sect. He was exterminated by the imperial court."

"Huh?" Zhang Mu was stunned by the sudden turn of events. "The whole family was wiped out?"

Xuan Ji yawned and thought for a moment, "Well, the whole family was wiped out."

"It seems like the imperial court started to crush the martial arts world after that... I'm not really sure, meow."

"I don't know much about the Dao Sect."

Zhang Mu listened to Xuan Ji's words and thought of the Ice Valley and Shuiyue Temple before.

Trampling the martial arts world, who knows how much blood and gore are contained in these four words.

However, Zhang Mu quickly turned the topic to business.

He picked up the Liangyi Xiantian Pill and asked, "What is the use of this pill?"

Xuan Ji yawned and said, "Combined with their sect's martial arts classics, it can help people forge an innate body."

"But, this pill has been left for too long, and the medicinal effect has dissipated."

Zhang Mu was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but not surprised.

Although I don't know what this world's innate body is, it must be extraordinary to be called this. If this pill is intact, it is definitely more than just a ninth-grade opportunity.

But since it is a ninth-grade opportunity, it means it is not completely useless.

"Is this pill still useful?" Zhang Mu asked tentatively.

Xuan Ji tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "The main medicinal effect is gone, but it still has some effect of strengthening the body."

"It's equivalent to the Small Yijing Pill... maybe even more effective."

Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wouldn't that save me money?

Xuan Ji saw through Zhang Mu's thoughts at a glance, stretched, and said lazily: "Take this pill first, meow. After you digest it, I will give you the Xiao Yi Jing Pill..."

Hearing Xuan Ji's words, Zhang Mu felt a little embarrassed and said, "Xuan Ji, I really don't have that much money, so..."

"It's okay, meow..." Xuan Ji scratched her tail with her claws, "The Little Yi Jing Pills I gave you are all sold at a personal price, there's no profit to be made..."

"If you take one less, I can lose less."

“I also have costs, meow~”

Zhang Mu: (**||)
Okay, I was overthinking it.

After learning about the elixir, Zhang Mu swallowed the Liangyi Xiantian Pill directly from Xuan Ji.

Mainly just in case.

If there really was something wrong with the pill, Xuan Ji could still save people on the spot.

The pill melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current that entered Zhang Mu's body. Zhang Mu activated his innate martial arts and impacted the acupoints. Sure enough, the pain he felt before because his body had reached its limit was gone.

After confirming the effect of the pill, Zhang Mu immediately entered a state of cultivation, constantly impacting the third acupoint of the second meridian.

Seeing Zhang Mu enter a state of meditation, Xuan Ji thought for a moment, and meowed towards the outside, and immediately several mice ran in.

Xuan Ji meowed again, and the mice sat down around Zhang Mu, put their hands together, and made a squeaking sound.

However, this voice was not harsh or loud. Instead, it had a unique rhythm, like a monk chanting, which made people feel calm. Xuan Ji nodded in satisfaction and walked out with a cat-like step.

……

There are two most ostentatious mansions in Anyu Lane, Wan'an County.

One is Liu Mansion, and the other is also Liu Mansion.

Liu Yuan, the chief clerk of Wan'an County, lost both his parents at a young age, leaving behind only a younger brother. Liu Yuan single-handedly supported the family business and raised his younger brother, acting like a father and mother. When his younger brother reached adulthood, he should have separated from the family and lived on his own. However, Liu Yuan, reluctant to let his younger brother live too far away, bought the house next door and built a new Liu Mansion.

As a result, two Liu mansions appeared in Anyu Lane.

People in the county call them Big Liu Mansion and Little Liu Mansion.

At this time, in the Liu family mansion, Liu Yi, the younger brother of the Wan'an County Chief Clerk and known respectfully as Master Liu, stopped fidgeting with his hands in the pregnant woman's clothes. He simply pinched a small bulge and rubbed it slowly. At the same time, he looked coldly at the butler in front of him who was looking down, and confirmed, "Has she not been found?"

"Hmm~" A charming female voice came out of the beautiful woman's mouth, with a hint of numbness.

The butler lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his toes, not daring to look up. He replied, "Master, the innkeeper said that the beggar left with four guards this morning and hasn't returned since noon."

"I sent people to various busy places in the county to look for them, but up to now, I haven't seen them."

Liu Yi frowned and unconsciously exerted strength on his fingertips. The beauty in his arms immediately felt the pain from that bulge. She hummed again and bit her lips.

"If something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on." Liu Yi pondered for a moment and said calmly, "If we can't find them before dark, there's no need to look for them anymore."

"But if something happens to them, what will happen to the goods?" the butler asked cautiously. "It might take some time to find someone to take over. The longer the night, the more trouble there is. I'm afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of in Wan'an County?" Liu Yi said nonchalantly, his hands once again roaming the clothes of the beauty in his arms. "With my brother here to keep us in check, who else would dare to cause trouble?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." the butler quickly agreed, "I'm overthinking it. I'll contact the new shipper right away."

At this time, the beauty in Liu Yi's arms was already blushing, with a seductive look in her eyes. Liu Yi waved his hand, and the housekeeper tactfully left the room and locked the door. Soon, some indescribable sounds came from inside the door.

……

The setting sun melts gold, and the sunset glows blood.

Zhang Mu stood in front of the gate of No. 6, Changwu Lane.

After coming out of Xuan Ji's temple, Zhang Mu wanted to go directly to the escort agency, but he unconsciously took a detour and came here.

He looked at the tightly closed vermilion door.

When we rescued Zhou Yuanguang before, we learned from Paihuazi that girls and children who were abducted and planned to be sold from other places were being held in this house.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, he seemed to be able to hear the crying inside through the door.

But Zhang Mu is not a saint, and he does not have the qualifications to be a saint.

After Zhou Yuanguang learned that the mastermind behind this was Liu Zhubu's younger brother, he immediately stopped and did not dare to get involved. Would Zhang Mu dare to do so?
The chief clerk is the county magistrate's assistant official and is in charge of the county office's clerkship. He can exercise the county magistrate's power when the county magistrate is absent. He can be said to be the executive deputy county magistrate and the second in command of the entire county.

How could Zhang Mu, a mere first-grade Tongmai master, afford to offend such a person?

Not to mention reporting to the authorities, the procedure for reporting to the authorities is to write a petition and submit it to the corresponding household office, which will then hand it over to the chief clerk for unified organization and then submit it to the county magistrate.

When Chief Clerk Liu sees the complaint, he will surely ask: Who in this hall is suing me?

Besides, Zhang Mu himself was in a lot of trouble. There was a sixth-rank fox demon outside the city who was extremely resentful of him, and there was a third-rank yamen runner demon servant inside the city who was also eyeing him covetously.

I can't meddle with such trivial matters.

As Zhou Yuanguang said: This is the way the world is.

What can I do?

Zhang Mu let out a long breath and just walked a few steps when he saw several students in Confucian robes turning into Changwu Lane. They must be the residents here.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhang Mu's mind like lightning.

It seems that I have misunderstood.

Who said saving people is risky?
This method is just a bit deceptive.

But they all read the books of sages, so they must be able to understand...
