Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Chapter 102 Not for Sale Tonight, Siblings Ask for Help

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the next four days, the spies arranged by Magistrate He Guitu discovered the whereabouts of two deputy leaders of the Moon Worship Cult and informed Shen Han by drawing a firebird.

After receiving the mission, Shen Han did not fail.

They successfully killed two deputy leaders.

At the same time, he also dug up Bai Wei's body and took it to the county government to report.

Of course, the income from killing was substantial. The three deputy leaders of the Moon Worship Cult filled his pockets with a full 1,500 taels of silver!

"At least I don't have to worry about money for now ————"

Shen Han was quite emotional; after all that fuss, it turned out that the path to wealth and fortune he had been seeking was actually this.

In addition, including Bai Wei, Tu Sangui, Sanmiao Daoren, and the two deputy incense masters who were just killed, five of the eleven deputy incense masters stationed in Sanhe County have been gone, leaving six remaining.

The true leader of the incense offering has yet to show his face.

Shen Han was puzzled by this. How could the current leader remain calm after losing so many followers at the deputy leader level?

Or do you simply not care?

Or is there a bigger, more elaborate plan behind it?

Regardless, in the past few days, due to the successive murders of the deputy leaders, the actions of the Moon Worship Cult have visibly subsided, and the lives of the people in both the county and the town have basically returned to normal.

"We should go check out the ghost market—"

After finishing his shift at the clinic, Shen Han first bought a large amount of venison, tiger meat, and leopard blood and gave it to his clone in the mirror before putting on his mask and heading to the Pine Forest Ghost Market, twenty miles north of the city.

In the ghost market, the lanterns still burn.

But tonight at the ghost market, for some reason, there were less than half the number of sellers and customers.

Something's strange—

Shen Han muttered to himself as he wandered around the ghost market.

Tonight, his attention is mainly focused on the divine artifacts, hoping to find out where there are artifact refiners.

An hour passed quickly.

He gained nothing.

It's not that there aren't any magical artifacts for sale in the ghost market, but those so-called magical artifacts are either fakes.

For example, the Black Chicken and White Phoenix Bowl, and Jie Er Yin (a brand of milk tea).

Either it's a misnomer.

For example, KFC, Buddha statue set —

It's either something that's about to break down.

For example, low chairs and fat cups in Shanghai —

There wasn't a single thing that was truly worth his serious inquiry.

What to do? I can't find a weapon refiner, so I can't forge the Golden Silk Armor or the Purple Cloud Ten Rings!

Shen Han took a deep breath and leaned against a tree trunk.

"Mr. Ugly Face —"

At that moment, a man and a woman suddenly walked up to him and whispered something.

"So it was you guys."

The two were Wu Lenggang and Wu Lengxue, a brother and sister.

Wu Lenggang had a bundle slung over his shoulder, which probably contained more Heavenly Grass.

"Not going to sell them?"

Shen Han asked Wu Lengxue.

Wu Lengxue shook her head: "I'm not selling tonight, I'm only looking for you."

As she said this, her eyes were fixed on Shen Han, filled with fervor.

"Mr. Ugly Face, may I speak to you in private?"

Wu Lenggang extended an invitation with clasped hands.

A moment later, the three left the Pine Forest Ghost Market and arrived at a secluded, deserted place.

"Mr. Ugly Face, please take a look."

Wu Lenggang took off the bundle, opened it, and sure enough, there were several more kilograms of top-grade Tongtian Grass inside.

"What does this mean?"

Shen Han remained calm and said indifferently, "Are you all so sure I'll buy it tonight?"

Wu Lenggang hurriedly said, "No, no, Mr. Ugly Face has misunderstood."

As he spoke, he stuffed the bundle into Shen Han's hands.

"These Heavenly Grasses are a small token of our brother and sister's appreciation for Mr. Ugly Face."

"No need, I won't accept a reward without merit."

Shen Han chuckled and refused.

Ten days ago, I helped them deal with the second-in-command of Black Wind Stronghold, so I can understand accepting the Heavenly Grass for free. But I did nothing tonight, so why should I take it for free?

Upon hearing this, Wu Lengxue quickly said, "Mr. Ugly Face, actually, we have a favor to ask of you—"

That makes more sense — Shen Han said, "Tell me about it."

"Sigh, it's about our parents."

The brother and sister told the truth.

The two are natives of Lu'an County. Ten years ago, they joined Baicaoyuan. At that time, they were not yet fifteen years old. Their parents died tragically, and they were homeless. Baicaoyuan gave them a place to live.

For the past ten years, the brother and sister have worked diligently in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

But for some reason, no matter how hard they tried, they remained just servants in the Hundred Herbs Garden, earning very little each month and living a very difficult life.

Finally, six months ago.

By chance, they discovered a huge secret about their origins.

It turns out that their parents were killed by the Hundred Herbs Garden!

The reason why Baicaoyuan did this was to obtain wave after wave of cheap servants to help it amass wealth. Most of the servants in Baicaoyuan experienced the same fate.

The moment they learned the truth, the brother and sister were filled with hatred.

But as the saying goes, how can an egg break a rock?

Their cultivation level was only at the Skin Refining stage, making them no match for the powerful Hundred Herbs Garden.

Left with no other choice, the two stole the Heavenly Grass and sold it at the Ghost Market in Sanhe County.

But the desire for revenge can never be completely let go.

They were waiting for an opportunity, and now, their opportunity has arrived!

What do you want?

'

Shen Han silently processed their words.

Wu Lenggang gritted his teeth: "With my sister's and my strength, it's impossible for us to destroy Hundred Herbs Garden."

So, we wanted to make a big score.

Then, he left the Hundred Herbs Garden, returned to Lu'an County, rented a small courtyard, and lived a peaceful life.

"What do you mean?"

"Recently, Baicaoyuan has stockpiled a batch of top-quality medicinal herbs. In seven days, they will transport the herbs to the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce in Lu'an County for auction. We want to snatch them away!"

"Then what do you want from me?"

Shen Han said slowly.

Wu Lengxue bit her lip: "To protect the medicinal herbs, the Hundred Herbs Garden arranged for a guest master to accompany us. My brother and I are of low martial arts skill, so there's no way we could succeed—"

"Mr. Ugly Face, if you agree to help, we'll split the spoils fifty-fifty."

Wu Lenggang replied with an eager expression.

Shen Han remained calm: "What is the cultivation level of the guest elders of your Hundred Herbs Garden?"

"Strengthen the tendons."

Do you think I can do it?

"Mr. Ugly Face, if you can kill the deputy leader of the Moon Worship Cult, then a mere guest elder is nothing to you."

"hehe."

Shen Han naturally wouldn't agree so easily.

Seeing his condition, Wu Lenggang became very anxious: "Mr. Ugly Face, we beg you."

As they spoke, the two knelt down together.

"Stand up and speak."

Suddenly, Shen Han remembered the purpose of his visit to the Ghost Market. "There's something I want to ask you about."

"I will certainly speak frankly and without reservation."

Are there any weapon refiners in Lu'an County?

"have!"

Without even thinking, Wu Lenggang said, "In the county town, the most famous place for weapon forging is the Treasure Weapon Pavilion."

Treasure Pavilion — Shen Han noted down this name.

Perhaps, when the time is right, we can find an opportunity to investigate further.

"I need to think about this; I cannot agree to it at this time."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Han said.

"That----"

Wu Lenggang said, "Alright, these past few days, my brother and I have been staying at the Yuelai Inn in Sanhe County. Once Mr. Ugly Face has made up his mind, we will wait for your good news at the inn."

No wonder — Shen Han thought to himself.

I saw you two in a hurry in the county town four days ago. You must have been looking for me then!
