Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

"He's serious. We can't stay in Green Dog Ridge anymore. We have to go back to the Ten Thousand Mountains." A dog demon at the first level of the Innate Realm saw Gu Chen easily kill his grandfather and his father.

It was terrified.

It plopped down on the ground, dropping the weapon it was holding.

"I'll kill you all later, and then lay your dog heads out on both sides of this cave. You seem to really enjoy doing that," Gu Chen said.

Then, wielding the Fire Xuan Blade, he charged towards the group of dog demons and began to slaughter them.

Dog heads flew everywhere.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Gu Chen was like a dog-head harvester.

A flash of light, and a dog's head fell to the ground.

The group of dog demons were terrified!

"Stop killing! I don't actually like eating people. I'm leaving now."

After a while.

A group of dog demons all dropped their dog heads, but they couldn't save their lives.

They all died under Gu Chen's blade, their blood staining the ground red.

"Let's tidy up. Put the dog heads on either side of the dog hole," Gu Chen said to Zhong Hao behind him.

I've been doing this job for so long, it's time for this kid to get a turn.

"Oh, okay, sir," Zhong Hao replied.

They immediately started picking up the dog heads that had fallen to the ground.

He didn't say anything just now.

But he felt it in his heart.

Gu Chen's move just now was damn cool.

I don't know if he can do it.

Gu Chen went into the dog hole.

I wonder if there are any valuables in the dog hole where these dog demons usually live.

He went in while pinching his nose.

It smells terrible.

He had no doubt that these dog demons had never taken a bath since they were born.

After searching the dog hole, Gu Chen was disappointed.

He found nothing and got himself into a lot of trouble.

We arrived outside the cave.

Seeing Zhong Hao busily arranging dog heads everywhere, Gu Chen said, "You wait here, I'll go down the mountain and get some people to help you."

Gu Chen then descended the mountain.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Qian Shen and the two night watchmen, along with Ding Wei and several thugs from the Black Wolf Gang, had already disposed of the corpses of the dog demons at the foot of the mountain.

They stripped all the valuable materials off the dogs.

Neatly set them aside.

"You guys are pretty quick," Gu Chen said with some surprise. "Since you're so efficient, why don't you go and do the work outside the dog hole on the mountain too?"

"I've already made arrangements with those dog demons. You can go up and collect the materials; they won't utter a sound," Gu Chen said.

They simply left.

After walking a few steps, Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Sell the materials you obtained for me, and then give me the silver. After all, I was the one who negotiated with those dog demons."

Ding Wei was puzzled and muttered to himself, "Are those dog demons really that easy to talk to? They won't even utter a sound when we go to get the materials?"

Qian Shen was unable to calm down for a long time.

Is this really the end of it?

The dog demons of Qinggou Ridge!

He, along with two night watchmen, Ding Wei, and several Black Wolf Gang thugs, arrived at the dog hole on the mountain.

When they saw a scene even more bloody than the one at the foot of the mountain...

I felt a chill run down my spine.

They're all gone, those dog demons.

They were slaughtered by Gu Chen.

When you take the materials from them, they naturally remain silent.

"The weather in Luo'an County is about to change." Ding Wei belatedly realized this.

What happened today probably won't be long.

It will then spread to all the demonic forces within the entire Luo'an County.

The news spread to several nearby counties and even reached the night watchmen in the border city.

The current situation in Luo'an County will change because of the new head of the Night Watch.

Gu Chen returned to the Night Watch of Luo'an County.

Continue refining the elixir.

He wasn't interested in anything else.

He was more interested in making money through alchemy.

"Old Master, you've reached an agreement with those dog demons so quickly. I was thinking you might have to do a lot of persuasion," Wei Zhong exclaimed.

He naturally knew that Gu Chen was going to negotiate with that group of dog demons today.

After all, they stopped handing people over to these dog demons.

If we don't give them an explanation, they'll cause trouble, and Luo'an County won't be able to handle it.

He just didn't expect that Gu Chen's negotiation would go so smoothly.

The deal was reached in less than a morning.

"They are very easy to talk to. I only used a little trick in the past, and they all fell silent. They agree to whatever I say," Gu Chen said.

"It has to be you, Elder Gu, you really have some skills," Wei Zhong exclaimed.

The previous chiefs of the night watch in Luo'an County didn't have this ability.

That evening.

Ding Wei then sent Gu Chen a sum of money.

There are more than two thousand taels.

It is said that the money was obtained by selling the materials that were stripped from those dog demons today.

There is an organization in Luo'an County that specializes in collecting materials related to demons.

Gu Chen put away the silver, feeling quite satisfied.

Although it was much less than he had anticipated, it was better than nothing.

At least killing demons isn't a losing proposition.

The silver he earned in one morning was more than ten times what he made from refining pills.

Not bad, I'll go kill demons again next time.

"When is the agreed-upon time for handing over the people with the next demonic force in Jiuwang Mountain, and to which demonic force are you handing them over?" Gu Chen asked Ding Wei.

"It will be half a month from now," Ding Wei said. "Black Wind Cliff, the territory of the Black Bear King."

"Is that the force whose strongest members are at the fourth level of the Innate Realm, with two Black Bear Generals at the third level of the Innate Realm, six Bear Demons at the second level of the Innate Realm, more than a dozen Black Bear Demons at the first level of the Innate Realm, and more than forty lesser Bear Demons below the Innate Realm?" Gu Chen asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Ding Wei nodded.

"Sir, shall we continue not to arrest people and wait for the half-month deadline, then have you personally negotiate with these bear demons?" Ding Wei asked rhetorically.

"Do you have a better idea?" Gu Chen looked at him. "We can't keep capturing people. This is all we can do."

"Okay." Ding Wei hesitated before speaking.

"Go back now," Gu Chen said. "I don't know how much you guys did before, but from now on, I won't be polite if you do it again."

Ding Wei shuddered upon hearing this.

"My lord, I understand." Ding Wei left the Night Watch with trepidation.

He had put away all his underestimation of Gu Chen.

Gu Chen probably already knows about his past involvement in arresting people for Lord Gong.

I can't do that anymore.

Gu Chen had already issued a warning that if he continued, he would easily get himself into trouble.

If they don't do it, there will be no population, and they won't be able to explain it to Lord Gong, so they won't explain it.

Let him go directly to Gu Chen and demand an explanation.

It was Gu Chen who told them not to do that.

Gu Chen was too powerful, and they had no choice but to listen to him.

Time passed day by day.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The matter of Qinggouling.

For some reason, it didn't seem to cause much of a stir in Luo'an County.

On the other side of Jiuwang Mountain, there are the remaining eight demonic forces.

There was no reaction.

It seems that the destruction of the old dog demon didn't have much of an impact on them.

In fact, the Green Dog Ridge under the Old Dog Demon is the weakest.

In the eyes of the demon kings, the old dog demon was not qualified to be ranked alongside them as one of the demon kings of Nine Kings Mountain.

In the past, the presence of the Old Dog Demon seemed to diminish the prestige of the nine demon kings of Jiuwang Mountain.

They knew that a new head of the Night Watch had arrived in Luo'an County.

A new broom sweeps clean.

During this period, he not only wiped out the old dog demon's forces in Qinggou Ridge, but also eliminated many scattered demon forces in Luo'an County.

The fire is burning quite fiercely.

But so what?

They won't care.

If they were to mobilize collectively at this moment, they would annihilate Gu Chen.

That is very unwise.

The former head of the night watch of Luo'an County was killed by them.

The human divine dynasty must be furious.

Therefore, even Gong Yi, who had cooperated with the border city's night watch, did not receive the news. Gu Chen, the new head of the Luo'an County night watch, was directly parachuted in by a higher-level night watch.

Gong Yi, the deputy director of the Linbian City Night Watch, had once conspired with them to kill the former director of the Luo'an County Night Watch.

This has led to the current situation where people are handed over to them for consumption every two weeks, indicating that both sides have a common interest.

But this time he didn't receive any messages.

Gu Chen was then arranged to be parachuted in.

It was clear that the Divine Dynasty was already dissatisfied with the Night Watch of the border city.

The fact that some of the people under his command had been reduced to two-horned sheep prompted him to send people to suppress the arrogance of the demonic forces within Luo'an County.

Therefore, they allowed Gu Chen to wipe out the old dog demon of Qinggou Ridge and a group of scattered demon forces within Luo'an County.

This can be considered as giving the Divine Dynasty enough face.

If everyone can live in harmony and make money, and turn a blind eye to some things, then some things can continue.

If Gu Chen continues to be arrogant...

Unable to know when to advance or retreat.

Then you can't blame them.

These three days.

Gu Chen then refined twelve more batches of Qi and Blood Pills for the Cheng family.

They earned a total of 1,440 taels of silver.

Gu Chen now had more than 4,500 taels of silver.

He gave four thousand taels to Cheng Mengling, asking her to arrange a caravan to go to Zhenshi County City to conduct business and trade.

Bring him forty-six sacrificial pills.

There isn't enough silver to buy the elixirs.

We'll finish it when he gets back.

The Cheng family caravan traveled to Zhenshi County once.

It takes at least ten days to travel there and back.

The money he spent on refining pills over the past ten days was not enough to buy forty-six sacrificial burial pills.

But given his relationship with the Cheng family...

It's no problem to owe a few thousand taels of silver first.

Then you can slowly refine the pills and repay the debt.

Qian Shen's side.

He has already sent a message to Gong Yi about the current situation in Luo'an County.

He couldn't fathom Gu Chen's strength.

We can only estimate that Gong Yi possesses the strength of the fourth level of the Innate Realm.

His promotion to deputy director of the Luo'an County Night Watch was arranged by Gong Yi.

He was also involved in the dirty deeds that Gong Yi had the Black Wolf Gang do.

There's no going back for him.

There's only one path left to take.

Report this matter to higher authorities and let Gong Yi handle it himself.

Gong Yi's reply was very simple.

Waiting for the next population data submission date.

Let's see what Gu Chen does next.

Should they actually negotiate with the group of bear demons, or should they directly annihilate them?

If Gu Chen dares to continue attacking and annihilating that group of bear demons.

They wanted to completely change the situation in Luo'an County.

He will come personally to persuade Gu Chen.

Ten days later.

The Cheng family caravan returned from Zhenshi County.

They brought forty-six Sacrifice Pills to Gu Chen.

Each piece cost 280 taels, totaling 12,880 taels. Gu Chen promised to give the Cheng family 13,000 taels.

However, he only has a little over 5,300 taels of silver on him now.

In these ten days, he helped the Cheng family refine forty batches of pills, earning a total of four thousand eight hundred taels, which is five thousand three hundred taels.

Adding the remaining five hundred taels.

After receiving the pills, Gu Chen paid the Cheng family another five thousand taels of silver.

The remaining four thousand taels will be given later.

Two more days.

The day had arrived when he had agreed to hand over the people to the group of bear demons.

We can get some materials from those bear demons and exchange them for silver; that should be enough.

That night.

Inside the house.

Gu Chen took out a copper bowl.

Place forty-six sacrificial pills inside.

The copper bowl provides a clue:

Forty-six Grade 5 Innate Cleansing Pills can be exchanged for 460 days of pure cultivation.

Gu Chen chose to exchange.

Instantly, a powerful cultivation force emanated from the bowl and surged into his body.

The energy was used to refine his internal organs.

A light blue lightning slowly enveloped him.

After a while.

A powerful aura emanated from his body.

The number of mines has surged.

It can be transformed with the other four types of lightning power into more Five Elements Lightning True Essence.

Mid-stage of the Sacrifice Realm, reached!
