Chapter 1160 Popular Purified Meat
"Captain, didn't you eat any meat just now?" a young soldier asked, his mouth watering.

“Yes, Captain, I’ve never eaten such delicious meat before.” Another young soldier’s eyes lit up as well.

Huang Zhilan frowned. She had eaten purified meat before, but the quality was just so-so, not as delicious as materialized meat. Besides, purified meat was purified by a turbid beast, so no matter how clean it was purified, there would still be some turbid energy left.

If you eat too much, you need to ask a spirit cleanser to purify the negative energy.

However, these young soldiers are mostly from ordinary families in the lower three districts and outer districts, so it's normal that they haven't eaten purified meat before.

She shook her head, walked past the crowd, and came to Shi Jia. Her eyes immediately fell on the saplings swaying in the air, with a dozen or so aerial roots attached to the corpse of the turbid beast.

"Your Excellency Shi Jia, I am truly sorry that they have troubled you so much," Huang Zhilan said apologetically.

"I will ask the guard chief for additional compensation for you later."

Shi Jia waved his hand, "It's alright, no need for compensation. They've already paid us. Besides, I'm willing to purify the meat of the tainted beasts for them. Only when the warriors are well-fed will they be more courageous in battle!"

"The Black Zone is unlikely to be peaceful in the future. You are stationed on the edge of the safe zone, guarding the border of humanity. You are great heroes. You don't even talk about gratitude. There's no reason for me to talk about gratitude for doing what I can."

Shi Jia said earnestly that at this moment he was in his previous life, and of course he admired the warriors of this world from the bottom of his heart.

Huang Zhilan felt a pang of sadness. She stared blankly at Shi Jia, as if she had never seen such a person before. "Your Excellency Shi Jia, you...you really..."

"No need to thank me, I've already received payment, haven't I?" Shi Jia looked at the young soldiers.

The young soldiers' eyes were red with tears. "Thank you."

Shi Jia was a little embarrassed. How did she end up making another group of people cry? "Ahem, next batch."

"Okay, we're here."

"How much is left? I can give you about an hour more to purify it," Shi Jia said to the young soldiers after inquiring about Lu Tianxue's plan.

"Captain Huang, why don't you purify a few of the turbid beasts? There are plenty outside the city anyway, it would be a waste not to eat them." Shi Jia joked. "Of course, I charge a fee. Purifying one turbid beast costs 50 catties of meat, so try to choose a larger one, otherwise you'll lose out."

Huang Zhilan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Alright, I'll gladly accept your offer."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Shi Jia waved his hand.

An hour passed quickly, but for Shi Jia, who was used to working twelve hours straight, this amount of time was nothing.

Even after he got into the car, he took out his drawing board and continued to refine Chengzi's whip.

This whip has been designed for a long time, and it's time to bring it to life.

That evening, Huang Zhilan finally finished her work and returned to her dormitory. She was surprised to see a huge lunchbox on the door. She quickly noticed the note on the lunchbox and the message on her phone.

It turns out it was the purified meat we had at noon.

Huang Zhilan put the meat into the pot to heat it up, and the aroma of meat filled the room with the steam, making her swallow hard.

"It smells so good." She couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and eat some meat. The slightly cold meat made Huang Zhilan feel much more energetic.

She squinted her eyes, chewed quickly with her teeth, and before she had finished the meat in her mouth, she picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth impatiently.

After a whirlwind of eating, the pot was spotless. Huang Zhilan stretched contentedly, picked up the pot, and rinsed it under the tap—it was sparkling clean!

"It's so delicious!" Huang Zhilan sprawled on the sofa, suddenly regretting that she had been too busy with work to eat a hot meal.

"Unbelievable! Purified meat tastes so good!" Huang Zhilan still couldn't believe it. Thinking of the two turbid beasts in her mustard seed bag, her eyes shone with astonishing light.

But the next second, she regretted it. "How stupid of me! Why did I only get two?"

The problem is, she only picked up these two beasts to save face for Shi Jia. She originally thought that if things didn't work out, she could sell them; although the meat wasn't very tasty, she could still get a few red crystals in return.

She never expected that she would be the clown in the end. "These bastards, why didn't they explain themselves to me clearly!" After her frustration, Huang Zhilan began to shirk responsibility.

That's how people are; as long as the responsibility doesn't lie with them, everything is fine.

Huang Zhilan had no idea that someone was even worse off than her, otherwise she would have been even happier.

That's right, it was our Guardian Commander Ziyunfeng. After a day's work, he returned home and saw a small bowl of soup, a small piece of meat, and several people in the house swallowing their saliva with their eyes shining. He was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong with you all?" Zi Yunfeng casually picked up the bowl of soup, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Hmm? This soup is not bad!"

He picked up a piece of meat about the size of his thumb, put it in his mouth, and chewed. The tender texture burst forth, and he stared in surprise, his eyes widening. "Mom, when did your cooking become so good?"

“I didn’t do it.” His mother looked at him with a somber expression, as if he had done something wrong.

"You didn't do it? Could it have been Ah Xing?" He looked at his wife.

His wife, with a similarly somber gaze, said, "It wasn't me who did it either."

"Did you buy it? But why are you looking at me like that?" Zi Yunfeng asked, puzzled. He subconsciously picked up his bowl and gulped down the small half-bowl of soup.

“Good, is there any more?” Zi Yunfeng looked at the table, then around. “Is it in the kitchen? I’ll get it myself.”

“It’s all gone!” his mother sighed. “You ate the last bite.”

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zi Yunfeng suddenly felt that this matter was unusual.

"What else could it mean?" His mother rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, didn't you have this meat sent back? How come you seem to know nothing about it?"

"I had someone send it back? When?" Zi Yunfeng looked completely bewildered.

"Your assistant, Xiaotian!"

"Xiao Tian? Mom, you said Xiao Tian brought it back?" Zi Yunfeng was even more surprised. Xiao Tian had been with him all day handling official business. Thinking of this, he quickly took out his phone and dialed.

"You mean this is a corrupted beast purified by the Spirit Cleanser?" Zi Yunfeng asked in surprise. "How come I didn't know about this?"

"Here's the thing, I gave you ten catties of meat, but since you were in a meeting, I took the liberty of sending the meat back to your home. It'll be perfect for the old lady and her family to have a taste as well."

Ziyunfeng's mother and wife nodded and said in unison, "This Xiaotian is not bad."

Just as Zi Yunfeng was about to explode in anger, he glared at the two of them, who immediately glared back. Finally, Zi Yunfeng sighed helplessly, "Where is the Spirit Cleanser?"

"The spirit purifier and his teammates left this afternoon. I don't know exactly where they are now."

"Alright, I got it." Zi Yunfeng hung up the phone and met the gazes of the two women. "You heard that, right? That's all."

"Then why didn't you let Xiaotian contact that spirit cleanser?" His mother glared at him, giving him an expression that said, "How could you be so incompetent?"

His wife nodded. "Yunfeng, quickly have Xiaotian find a spirit purifier. Tell him we want him to purify the turbid beasts. The price is negotiable. Of course, it would be best if he could join your Security Gate No. 1."

Zi Yunfeng said somewhat helplessly, "I have the contact information of the Spirit Cleanser, don't worry."

Zi Yunfeng picked up his chopsticks, ready to continue eating, but looking at the table full of dishes, he suddenly lost his appetite.

"Never mind, I'll contact them now."

Hello, who is this?

"Your Excellency Shi Jia? I am Zi Yunfeng."

"Oh, it's the guard captain. May I ask what you need?"

"Here's the thing, during this beast tide, you and your teammates participated in the defense of Gate 1, and in particular, you made a tremendous contribution by protecting the guards of Gate 1 from the inhalation of the foul air. After careful consideration, we have decided to award you and your teammates a Contribution Award..."
