41: Chapter 40: Arson and Murder with a Golden Belt (3rd Update)_1

Owen Bertram came to the side of the three corpses that had already turned to ashes and indeed found a few items.

Lady Hamilton had two brocade pouches, while the Taoist priest and Old Camel each had one.

He took the items and quietly returned, first opening the Taoist priest’s pouch.

The space inside was vast and full of a large number of valuable materials.

After briefly counting them, Owen closed the brocade pouch and looked up at the sky, saying in a low voice, “It hasn’t been easy, but we finally have some extra resources!”

It would take Little Loach a few days to consume all these materials!

Moreover, there were many metal materials inside, which made Owen feel that his flying sword was possible.

These were all materials used by the Taoist priest to refine Dao soldiers.

Each Dao soldier consumed a tremendous amount of materials.

The priest had spent his life in “poverty” – making money from killing and looting, but spent it all on materials.

Now, it all went to Little Loach.

Carefully storing this brocade pouch, Owen opened the one belonging to Old Camel.

Inside were rows of neatly arranged cabinets, sorted and clearly labeled.

From materials to magical instruments, to pills, it was very comprehensive.

“This guy is really a neat freak…”

There was not a speck of dirt inside the brocade pouch.

Owen flipped through it for a while, and his mouth couldn’t help but smile.

Old Camel was really rich; there were more than thirty various magical instruments in the brocade pouch alone.

And all of them were graded, with sixteen first-grade instruments, ten second-grade ones, and even one third-grade!

Unfortunately, it was a bronze bell.

If it had been a flying sword, Owen would have used it himself already.

“Let the bell be, I’m not into playing music.”

Apart from these magical instruments, there were various valuable materials, pills, talismans, totaling more than a hundred items.

Most importantly, Old Camel had a secret cabinet in the brocade pouch.

It was divided into two compartments, and the top one contained fifty Spirit Jades!

Owen had risked his life to win, but the Horizon Bureau only promised to give him three Spirit Jades, and they haven’t delivered yet.

He always felt that the imperial offices were trying to renege on their promises.

But Old Camel had a whole fifty!

Owen almost drooled.

He then quietly glanced back, only to feel a gust of wind behind his head.

Little Loach launched a surprise attack without warning!

It was spying from behind!

Owen secretly thought it was over, and he could no longer swallow these Spirit Jades alone.

Little Loach, like a big dog, pounced on Owen and nuzzled him affectionately.

Its whiskers, like tongues, licked Owen’s face.

Trying to please him in every way possible.

“Stop it.” Owen wanted to hold it down, but it was too fat now and easily broke free, clinging to Owen in every way possible.

“Oh…

Spirit Jades are precious, big brother will save them for you to get married someday.

You can’t eat them, really can’t…

I know this time’s harvest is quite a lot, but you can’t just eat them all.

There’s no way to live like this…”

After much struggle, Owen finally made a deal with Little Loach: these Spirit Jades would be used as rewards, and if Little Loach made great contributions to the household, it would be rewarded with one piece.

Having finally placated the greedy fellow, Owen went to check out the second compartment.

Inside was a tattered beast skin book.

As Owen took it out to look, the book’s odd text was completely incomprehensible.

There were twenty plus pages, but only one was intact.

On this page, text annotations were accompanied by various patterns.

Owen understood: this was Old Camel’s Whisker Divine Skill!

He recalled the skill, and it seemed quite impressive at first.

However, once countered, it brought total defeat, even bringing Old Camel down with it.

So, Owen casually cast it aside, not planning to practice it himself.

After checking this brocade pouch, it was time to examine Lady Hamilton’s.

It was unclear why she needed two pouches when one was usually enough for a cultivator.Owen Bertram had just opened one of them when a black shadow suddenly shot out of it, carrying with it a bone-chilling coldness, aiming straight for Owen’s face.

Without even blinking, Owen flicked out the Commander’s Token, which struck the black shadow with a snap, immobilizing it.

Then, it shattered into pieces and turned into smoke.

It was a two-headed baby ghost, a foot-long body with two huge heads, and four hollow blood-red eyes.

Owen shook his head, “Such a sin.”

Lady Hamilton was sinister and vicious, tormenting living creatures to create this two-headed baby ghost, hiding it in her brocade pouch as a guardian spirit.

Even in death, she would try to harm others.

Owen checked the contents of the brocade pouch, which contained few items – mostly materials with a strong Yin energy, such as 300-year-old Water Ghost Black Hair and dead baby demons – lacking any virtues.

Furthermore, there were several Yin-destructive magical instruments Lady Hamilton commonly used, including a brocade handkerchief.

Owen glanced at them briefly, then tossed them aside.

When opening the second brocade pouch.

He was more careful, but there was no guardian spirit inside.

The pouch contained neatly arranged black earthenware jars, numbering over a hundred.

Each one was the size of a fist, with various bizarre runes painted on the outside.

The entire brocade pouch was filled with a gloomy and cold atmosphere.

Owen shook his head repeatedly, thinking that this woman’s death was neither wrongful nor painful enough!

This was her warehouse for raising ghosts.

Each earthenware jar contained a vengeful ghost that she had tormented using secret techniques.

The more painful their suffering, the stronger the resentment of the ghosts, and the greater their power for Lady Hamilton.

“How unfortunate!” Owen complained, “To have encountered such a psychologically twisted woman.”

He didn’t know what to do with these earthenware jars.

Owen fed the debris of the Mechanical Dao Soldiers to Little Loach, who ate it happily.

Owen stood with his hands behind his back and asked, “Can you finally make me a flying sword now?”

Little Loach yawned and slowly curled up.

Look, I ate too much, I’m drowsy after the meal, what did you say?

I can’t hear clearly in my drowsy state, I’ll sleep first, we’ll talk about it later.

“You…” Owen was both amused and annoyed.

However, today’s harvest was enormous, and he could foresee that he and Little Loach’s strength would rapidly increase in the near future.

Owen was in a good mood, actually.

“It’s just a bit strange,” Owen put Little Loach back into the wooden bottle and prepared to go home, “Why have there been more outsiders lately?”

…

Inside the West Gate of the County Town, there was a tea stall.

Three people occupied a table from morning until nightfall.

However, they paid their copper coins generously, so the stall owner didn’t say anything.

All three dressed in green robes, with similar heights and builds.

They each carried a narrow, long iron box on their backs.

They continually watched the city gate, and as it was about to close, a white figure appeared in the gate tunnel.

The three were overjoyed and went up to kneel and bow, “Young Master, we are grateful that you are finally here.”

The Young Master was tall and carried an ancient sword on his back.

He held a folding fan in his hand, had an indifferent expression, and was handsome.

“What’s the hurry?” He said with a casual smile, opening the fan and gently waving it, “Coming early doesn’t guarantee getting the Burning Opportunity?

Those who are impatient are just going to die early.”

“Young Master is right,” the three praised right away, “The Burning Opportunity must belong to you, Young Master.”

“Enough, tell me, who else has come this time?”

The three answered, “Quite a number of beasts and demons, but in the past few days, we’ve been investigating and only two are worth Young Master’s attention.

One is the Thousand Shadow Camel Dragon, who dominates the Northern Territory.

He brought two helpers, both seem to be strong fighters from the Second Level.”

“The other one is Marlowe Piper, the chief disciple of the Burning Sect.

He brought six junior brothers who can set up the Burning Sect’s Seven Extremes Divine Fire Array.

He’s already at the Second Level, and with the Array’s help, he can contend with those at the Third Great Boundary!”

The Young Master’s eyebrows raised, “This is getting interesting.”
