I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

When the police car carrying the Devouring Beasts drove through the streets, it immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

Passersby stopped to watch curiously, wanting to see what kind of monster it was.

"Why does it look like Squidward?"

"This is much more powerful than an octopus! I heard this monster has killed several eighth-rank martial artists!"

"Really? Is this thing really that fierce?"

"Now everyone can travel without worrying about being eaten by monsters in the Li River!"

"No wonder the Inspection Department dispatched so many powerful individuals!"

"..."

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the inspection department's convoy returned to its branch.

The benefits of Shangguan Yun's actions are self-evident.

"Sir, what should we do with the corpse of this Devouring Beast?"

"Burn it."

"grown ups."

Su Wuchen stepped forward with a smile, "Why don't you leave the Devouring Beast to me?"

Liu Rumin glanced at Su Wuchen and nodded, saying, "It's been cleaned up."

"Please rest assured, sir."

Seeing that Su Wuchen had volunteered, everyone laughed and dispersed.

The battle just now had exhausted them, while Su Wuchen stood on the shore watching.

Now that he has taken the initiative to deal with the Devouring Beast, everyone else is naturally relieved of some of the burden.

"Is there anything valuable about this thing?"

Zhao Fei stayed behind, looking curiously at the Devouring Beast's corpse, and then at Su Wuchen.

Su Wuchen nodded. "This is a demon from the forbidden area. Its habits, methods, and abilities must all be recorded."

"what?"

"If you or I encounter this kind of thing in the future, we'll have more ways to deal with it."

"I understand."

Zhao Fei nodded.

Then Su Wuchen took out his toolbox and began to dismember the Devouring Beast's corpse.

[You touched the corpse of a demon and gained one-tenth of its cultivation!]

it is good!

Su Wuchen's eyes lit up; it really worked!

Including the corpse of this Devouring Beast, he is only one step away from the early stage of the seventh rank!

If given the chance, touching the corpse of an eighth-rank martial artist would allow him to successfully break through to the seventh-rank realm!

The scales on the dead Devouring Beast were noticeably weakened.

The knife quickly dismembered the Devouring Beast's corpse along its muscles, and then Su Wuchen discovered a crystal core.

really!

The Devouring Beast's Crystal Core!

The crystal-clear, crystal-like core aroused Zhao Fei's great curiosity.

"What is this?"

"The core of the Devouring Beast."

Su Wuchen casually stuffed it into his storage bag. "This thing is extremely dangerous. If you accidentally eat it, you could be contaminated and mutate into a monster."

Zhao Fei: "...?"

This……

How come he seems to know so much?

The Devouring Beast's corpse was quickly dissected, and after washing his hands, Su Wuchen made a record of it.

For example, where to strike to weaken the scales' defense, and where the Devourer's weak point is.

After completing the detailed record, Su Wuchen and Zhao Fei threw the Devouring Beast's corpse into the incinerator.

"I'm gone."

Zhao Fei clapped his hands and left first.

Su Wuchen took the recorded file and went to Liu Rumin's office.

dong dong.

"Enter."

"Master Liu."

"What is it?"

"This is the record I wrote when I dismembered the Devouring Beast. Please take a look, sir."

Su Wuchen placed the file in front of Liu Rumian.

Liu Rumian glanced at him and said with a smile, "Is that all?"

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment, Su Wuchen took out the crystal core. "This was dropped when I directly devoured the beast."

Liu Rumin: "Do you know what this thing is used for?"

Su Wuchen said sincerely, "According to the game's description, if this thing is accidentally eaten, it can easily turn you into a monster."

Liu Rumin nodded. "No matter what kind of cultivator, once they come into contact with this stuff, they are very likely to be corrupted and assimilated by it, and then become a monster that obeys others."

"However, this item fetches a good price on the black market."

"Unfortunately..."

The black market was shut down by Shangguan Yun.

Su Wuchen silently added a sentence in his mind.

Liu Rumin casually tossed it to Su Wuchen, "Not all Devouring Beasts can condense a crystal core within their bodies. Since it's not in your records, I'll give it to you."

"The records are well done."

"Thank you, sir."

……

The perfect resolution of the Devouring Beast earned the Inspection Division an excellent reputation in Jiangcheng. At the same time, Shangguan Yun, being extremely considerate, distributed rewards and leave to everyone.

Having a holiday should be a time for endless fun, but Su Wuchen has been sending messages to Su Wuming these past few days, and the kid hasn't replied to a single one, which makes Su Wuchen a little puzzled.

He didn't come back during his summer vacation. It's one thing to say he was studying hard, but even if he was studying hard, he shouldn't have ignored all the messages he sent, right?

Early that morning, Su Wuchen closed the shop door and went to the verification center.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

"Are there any armors used by immortal cultivators?"

"Yes, yes, yes, please come with me, sir."

Half an hour later, Su Wuchen's assets were almost gone, and he finally left the verification center.

Getting around Jiangcheng is very convenient.

Even with the Li River bypassing it, one can still leave by car or boat.

As for cultivators, they have even more options.

Su Wuchen arrived at the dock, but unfortunately, the passenger boats had just left, leaving only some small fishing boats.

"Boatman, are you going to Tongzhou?"

"How many people are in the business?"

"Just me."

The boatman glanced at Su Wuchen, then at the passersby waiting for the next boat, and asked, "Want to share a ride?"

"I don't care."

"it is good."

The boatman beckoned Su Wuchen to board the boat.

After waiting for half an hour without seeing anyone else come to board, the boatman shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to start the boat.

"Has the Li River been relatively calm these past few days?"

"Of course."

The boatman, an elderly man in his sixties, said with a smile, "The monsters in the Li River have all been captured by the officials of the Inspection Bureau, so things are much calmer now."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cargo ships and merchant ships coming and going."

Previously, due to the Devouring Beast, most of the waterways in the Li River were shut down.

A demon capable of defeating an eighth-rank martial artist is hiding beneath the Li River. Who wouldn't be terrified upon hearing this?

But it is different now.

The boatman spoke cheerfully as he poled his boat downstream.

"In my opinion, you should buy a decent fishing boat to make it easier to pick up passengers."

Su Wuchen chatted with the boatman with a smile, while patting the hull beneath him, "Look how old your boat is."

The boat was a small, covered boat, which could carry at most four or five people.

These boats travel back and forth on the Li River every day, earning at most a little for food and drink, and nothing more.

"That won't work."

The boatman smiled and shook his head. "This boat was passed down to me by my grandfather. I can't afford to lose it."

Su Wuchen: "Then we can get a new one and put this little awning boat away."

The boatman just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Su Wuchen sat at the bow of the boat, feeling the gentle breeze on his face, drifting with the current, and enjoying a sense of leisure and elegance.

"Grandpa, do you have a fishing rod?"

"Of course, this thing is indispensable."

The boatman smiled and put away the boat pole. He took out a bamboo fishing rod from the side of the boat and handed it to Su Wuchen. "However, it won't be easy to fish while we're going downstream."

"It's nothing, just playing around."

Su Wuchen thanked him and handed him a banknote, saying, "Consider it renting it from me. If it gets damaged, I'll compensate you."

"No need, no need."

The boatman smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a bamboo pole, it's not worth much."

As the boatman said, it's naturally difficult to catch any big fish if you go downstream instead of stopping in the river.

However, Su Wuchen didn't care, his main concern was simply to feel comfortable.

As dusk fell, the boatman poled his boat toward the shore.

"You're not leaving already?"

"Do not sail after dark."
