Chapter 47. Letter
From the front mountain back to the back mountain.

Xu Qing was not in a hurry to return to his own courtyard.

The black snake demon on his body and the tiger demon's corpse both need to be dealt with. The tiger demon's corpse is the one he obtained when he went into the mountains with Lord Jinhu last time.

He should have exchanged it for Taoist merit, but at that time he had obtained the red fruit and had no shortage of resources for cultivation, so he was not in a hurry to exchange it.

Now the two corpses of the monsters can be dealt with together.

Xu Qing came to the Deacon's Hall. In addition to distributing various errands, the Deacon's Hall also had the business of recovering the corpses of various monsters.

In general.

The Deacon Hall is divided into three halls: the Mission Hall, the Recycling Hall, and the Daogong Hall.

Their respective functions can be clearly seen from the names.

After entering the Deacon Hall, the Mission Hall is directly opposite the door, to the left is the Recovery Hall, and to the right is the Daogong Hall.

Xu Qing walked to the left into the recycling hall.

There were several rooms in the hall. Xu Qing picked one at random and walked in. Sitting behind the counter was a handsome man with a fair face.

"Junior brother Xu Qing?" When the disciple in charge of recycling saw Xu Qing, he immediately recognized him as the junior brother who had been accepted as a disciple by the sect leader at the last initiation ceremony.

"Hello, Senior Brother!" Xu Qing bowed and greeted respectfully before directly stating his purpose. "I have two corpses of monsters in my hand and would like to give them to the temple for recycling to see how much Daoist merit I can exchange for them."

"Okay, Junior Brother, take it out." The man nodded, "By the way, Junior Brother, my name is Da Wenxi, and I am a disciple of Master Yuyuan."

Dawen Creek?
Another disciple of Master Yuyuan?
Xu Qing felt that everyone he met recently was a disciple of this elder.

But think about it, there are probably three destinations for the corpses of monsters recovered in the temple. One is the alchemy room, one is the weapon refining room, and the last is the animal garden, medicine garden, plantation and spiritual field.

The alchemy room uses the flesh and blood of monsters to make medicine and elixirs, while the weapon refining room uses the bones, claws, scales and skin of monsters to make magical instruments. The animal garden is of course used as feed to feed the spirit beasts. As for the plantation gardens, some spirit plants and spirit medicines eat meat.

Master Yuyuan follows the path of military affairs, which is related to weapon refining. He is in charge of the weapon refining room. In addition to working in the weapon refining room, his disciples naturally also need to be on duty in the Deacon Hall.

Afterwards, Xu Qing took out the bodies of the headless black snake demon and the tiger demon.

Da Wenxi's face changed slightly when he saw this.

Although the specific state of a monster cannot be determined with the naked eye after its death, the remaining aura can more or less explain something.

"Junior brother, you are worthy of being the master's disciple. You have only been practicing for a short time, but you can already deal with monsters of this level." Da Wenxi said in surprise.

“They are all cultivated in the temple.”

Da Wenxi smiled, took out two talismans from his arms, and pasted them on the bodies of the headless black snake demon and the tiger demon respectively.

As the light on the talisman flowed, the runes on it twisted and gradually formed lines of text.

Da Wenxi glanced over, and a hint of surprise suddenly welled up in his eyes: "A snake demon at the second level of the Bone Refining Realm, a tiger demon at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm. Junior brother, are you really still at the Essence Refining Realm?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Wenxi, my current realm is only the Essence Refining Realm." Xu Qingfeng said calmly.

Da Wenxi shook his head:

"only?"

"Junior brother, you are at the Refining Essence Realm and can deal with monsters at the Refining Bone Realm. They are comparable to the Qi Refining Realm of our Taoist sect!"

"Although Senior Brother is at the Qi Refining Stage, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to defeat a monster at the Bone Refining Stage."

"Senior Brother Wenxi, you are too kind." Xu Qing said modestly.

As for what Senior Brother Wen Xi said, that he might not be able to defeat a monster in the Bone Refining Realm, he just listened but did not believe it.

Since he was worshipping under Master Yuyuan, he also followed the path of the master of military power. He heard it clearly at the ordination ceremony that the master of military power was in charge of killing and fighting.

Since he is in charge of killing and commanding the military, his offensive power will not be too bad.

"Senior Brother Wenxi, what kind of talisman do you have stuck on the corpse?" Xu Qing was very interested in the talisman that Da Wenxi stuck on the corpse of the monster.

"Oh, you mean this?" Da Wenxi picked up the two talismans: "This is a treasure appraisal talisman. After using it, it can identify various items."

The treasure-appraising talisman is a good and practical talisman, but it is a pity that it is not recorded in the "Illustrated Record of the Merits of the Six Dings and Six Jias" in the Imperial Order.

But that’s okay.

Find some time to visit the master and ask him how to draw this treasure appraisal talisman.

"Junior brother, the snake scales of this snake demon are quite good. They can be used with the golden armor talisman to make a good set of armor, which can be exchanged for about fifty Dao Gong." Da Wenxi counted them one by one. "Snake meat can be used to feed spirit beasts and make medicine. Snake bones are also quite good when made into weapons."

"Brother Snake Gallbladder, do you want to switch to Taoism? This thing can actually have a significant effect if eaten directly."

Xu Qing thought about it and decided to keep the snake gallbladder. "As for the tiger monster," Da Wenxi looked through the tiger monster's body, raised his head and glared, "Where's the tiger whip?"

"That's the essence! Use it to soak in wine, it's very nutritious!"

"Uh." Xu Qing scratched his head.

Well, it seems that Senior Brother Chen's secret castration boxing is not without its shortcomings.
"After counting, without the tiger whip, the tiger monster's body is still complete. The skin can be peeled off and used as the material of the robe, and the meat can also be eaten."

"Senior Brother, how much Daoist power can I get for this?" Xu Qing asked.

"Well, about a hundred Daogong." Da Wenxi estimated: "The most valuable thing about a snake demon is its scales and snake gallbladder, and the most valuable thing about a tiger demon is its tiger skin, tiger whip, and tiger bones."

"The tiger penis is gone, but fortunately the tiger skin is intact and the entire tiger bone is not damaged."

Only a hundred?

Xu Qing was a little disappointed, but when he thought that one blood-nourishing pill only cost ten Dao Gongs, he didn't seem so depressed.

After all, if we talk about the price of the Blood-Nourishing Pill, it would definitely be more than this price if it were sold outside, maybe several times higher.

One hundred Daogongs will earn you ten blood-nourishing pills, plus six blood-nourishing pills as a reward for being the first on the Izumo list, and a quota of three blood-nourishing pills per month.

These quantities are enough to support his subsequent practice.

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Da Wenxi waved his hand: "Why thank me? I'm just doing my job."

After Xu Qing changed his Taoist skills, he said goodbye to Da Wenxi and exchanged all his Taoist skills for blood-nourishing pills in the Taoist skills hall on the right side of the Deacon Hall.

Just as Xu Qing was about to return to his courtyard, a figure came running towards him, shouting and approaching him quickly.

"Xu Qing!"

But it was Fatty Li.

There is also a yellow figure on his shoulder.

The moment he saw the yellow figure, Xu Qing was attracted by the letter behind it.

This yellow figure was exactly the Qingji whom he had seen at the Linhong Inn a few days ago. He was wearing yellow clothes, a yellow crown, and a yellow umbrella, and was less than four inches tall.

Letters from dad and mom?

Xu Qing's heart moved, and Fatty Li's next words just confirmed his guess.

"Xu Qing, there is a letter for you. It was sent by your family."

"This little fellow wanted to deliver the letter to the temple, but the aura of the temple frightened him, so he hesitated in front of the mountain gate. I met him and brought him to you."

Xu Qing nodded and looked at Qingji on Fatty Li’s shoulder.

Qingji had already swiftly taken off the letter from his back and handed it to Xu Qing: "Your letter."

Xu Qing took it.

After confirming that the letter had been delivered, Qingji jumped off Fatty Li's shoulder. Mist appeared under him and he transformed into a vivid horse.

"The letter has been delivered. I should leave now."

After saying this, he turned into a yellow light and disappeared before their eyes.

Xu Qing tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, and scanned it from top to bottom.

"what happened?"

Fatty Li looked at Xu Qing whose expression suddenly changed.

In his memory, Xu Qing had always been very calm, and even when he encountered the third-level black snake demon, there was no obvious change on his face.

"There was a tiger disaster near Ningyang Town." Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "Several tigers came down the mountain to attack villages. Many villages have been attacked and more than a dozen people have fallen into the tiger's mouth."

Fatty Li was shocked when he heard this: "Is your family okay? Didn't the town government send people to drive away those beasts?"

"The government sent people, but four of them died." Xu Qing's face was heavy. "There may be something evil among those tigers."

"But my family is fine. They are temporarily hiding in the home of an old friend of my father in Ningyang Town."

"Although Ningyang Town is far inferior to Huai'an County, it is still no problem to resist a few monsters. What's more, my father's old friend is a disciple from Yuanfu Temple."

　Let me make it clear in advance that the protagonist's family is fine.
