Chapter 132 Obtaining Another Magical Artifact, Indulging in a Feast

""

What's the most important thing when playing games?

Of course, it's the reward that drops after killing monsters!

Although the Three Realms are not comparable to those simple, pay-to-win games in the real world, the principle is similar. The reason for not giving them money directly is to follow reality, but travelers can always find ways to increase their income.

At this point, it all comes down to individual skill!

To be honest, the equipment and weapons on Pig Soldier Commander are pretty good.

However, Zhang Wei broke the serrated broadsword directly, and the ancestral armor was torn open at the chest, rendering it largely useless. The only remaining bow and arrows were also hidden away and unusable.

This does not mean he gained nothing.

As the garrison commander of Heshun City, his residence must contain many treasures, and the same goes for that dog-headed county magistrate, who must also have his own collection.

Therefore, the five rats that Zhang Wei had summoned before reappeared, obtained their needs from him, and received a "Many Children, Many Blessings Pill" as a reward before promptly burrowing back underground.

Drilling a new hole underground is definitely slower than running on the surface.

However, behind the employer, a black, tiger-like spirit cat, as large as a cub, was watching them with great interest.

To the two-legged creatures, those pink paw pads looked like Hachimi was being cute and cuddly, but to the mouse, they were no different from the Black Impermanence before the King of Hell!

While waiting for the Five Rats to send a reply, Zhang Wei also checked his newly acquired rewards.

[The Master's Gaze: Slay the henchmen, eliminate the corrupt officials, kill the evil spirits and their relatives, suppress the barbarian swine... Reward: Battle Altar]

[Type: Ritual Implement]

[Within and beyond, five camps vanquish demons and capture monsters; when the troops march forth, all evil is warded off!]

[Note: Below the level of the Steppe Empire, one can only forge one's own troops. When one reaches the level of the Steppe Empire or above, one can hold an altar and perform rituals to summon the ancestral master's troops for assistance!]

Looking at the newly acquired spell, Zhang Wei knew that it was a way to gather all the spoils he had gained from his trip to Heshun City and distribute them as a reward.

Yeah.

As his strength increases and his skill tree is continuously expanded, the previous method of rewarding someone for every evil deed is becoming somewhat wasteful. Although he can still combine and synthesize ancestral spells and other magic, he is not the protagonist of a novel, and the demons and evil spirits he encounters are not bosses that level up in stages. There will always be minor monsters, and there will always be some wasted resources.

It looks much better now.

As for the Terrace of Soldiers and Horses, that is also an old tradition of the Taoist school.

From legendary celestial soldiers and generals, and Yellow Turban warriors, to the sinister City God and the Five Witches' army, the levels are clearly defined, and the strength of each group is even more obvious.

Even characters like celestial soldiers and generals, who are always portrayed as being easily defeated in various biographies and stories, are actually all, in their previous lives, high-ranking Taoist masters or virtuous and benevolent individuals from certain Taoist lineages. They were placed in the position of celestial soldiers simply because their cultivation and merits were insufficient. However, this does not mean they are not strong.

They are nothing but lackeys in front of those demon kings who even gods and Buddhas find troublesome. But if you are some kind of ancient monster or Black Mountain Demon, a small team can easily beat these guys until they can't find their way back.

So, are the celestial positions of Heavenly Soldiers just for show?

Of course, below this level, the abilities of the soldiers vary greatly.

The weakest of the three, the Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts, are eliminated through ritual sacrifices. The resulting troops can fight against the Fierce Souls and Fierce Ghosts, and it is not difficult to defeat them even if some losses are incurred.

The more powerful ones are the underworld messengers under the command of the city gods at various levels. They can be temporarily dispatched once they have obtained the decree and permission. The even more powerful ones are the underworld soldiers of the underworld... The five battalions of soldiers forged in the military altar are also quite good.

The Five Camps, also known as the Five Camps of Soldiers, appeared as early as the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. After successive dynasties, they were generally used as the personal guards of the gods, responsible for the security and defense of the temple and altar. They were usually divided into five camps: "Eastern Barbarians", "Southern Barbarians", "Western Barbarians", "Northern Barbarians" and "Central Qin".

It is worth mentioning that the renowned killing god, the Red Flower Double Staff of Chen Tang Pass, and Li Tianwang's Third Prince, usually appear as the Central Camp Marshal.

In some ways, although the Five Camps of soldiers do not hold divine positions, they are still considered part of the system and are far stronger than ordinary ghost soldiers and ancestral master soldiers.

Of course, Zhang Wei only has a jar in his hand right now, and he doesn't have any soldiers or horses, let alone look down on the ghost soldiers. But the magic weapon is fake; the real key is the suffix that follows the inscription.

The Ancestral Master's Army?

Is this the kind of army he envisioned?

The teasing from his prospective master had already ignited Zhang Wei's thirst for exploration, and now he had another reason to accelerate his journey into the depths of history!

However, aiming too high is not advisable.

For now, after collecting the monster-killing rewards, we'll continue heading north.

Gold and silver jewelry are secondary. Although Zhang Wei has only been an inspector for a short time, the two tasks he has already completed have brought him a seven-figure monetary reward. He is not extremely wealthy, but for him, who does not indulge in worldly luxuries, money is of little use to him except to support his family.

However, gold, silver, and some jewelry also have strong mystical effects, so keep them.

In addition to these, there were various kinds of grains and meats. Zhang Wei had the five rats open the warehouse and send a small note to the area outside the city before ignoring it.

What can truly help him at present are various medicinal herbs, such as common ginseng, deer antler, lingzhi, and astragalus, as well as others like schisandra, gentian, and frog oil... Just counting the aged ones, there are about sixty or seventy portions, and there are even more of those with average effects.

Normally, there are very strict standards for taking medicinal herbs. The best result of overeating is that one is too weak to tolerate the supplements, and if one goes too far, one will die immediately.

There was once such a talented person in the world who read a few medical books, thought he had achieved some success, and then prescribed medicine for himself, which led to his death.

Although Zhang Wei had never read any medical books, he had studied alchemy a year earlier. Even if it was just a rudimentary understanding, he was no worse than an ordinary doctor. However... after confirming that there would be no further gains, Zhang Wei, who had rewarded the Five Rats and canceled the spell, picked up Afu with one hand and put all the medicinal herbs into a sachet with the other.

Feng Xu rode the wind and soared into the sky, heading directly north.

Along the way, his missing left hand kept taking out old medicine sticks from the sachet and stuffing them into his mouth, chewing them vigorously.

What kind of ruler, minister, and envoy?

What is the Five Elements generating and restraining relationship?

He doesn't even care about waste, why would he care about these things? Drug toxicity? Go talk to the scorching sun!

After swallowing the herbs, a surge of heat immediately enveloped Zhang Wei's entire body, causing his external body temperature to drop several degrees. In its place, the various herbs in his stomach were rapidly being refined and releasing their effects.

Strong and robust, under the scorching sun, three thugs who had taken over the body stormed in, just like the customers who came to the club, casually choosing their preferred targets and getting straight to the point.

Body temperature rises and blood flows rapidly.

A sound like a babbling brook echoed high above!
