He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

The sun rises high, shining brightly on Mengshan Mountain.

The timing is unfavorable; a sunny day can easily attract thunderstorms and lightning, which is extremely rare.

Many methods came to Pei Si's mind.

"Luckily I brought a lot of stuff," Pei Si muttered, taking out a bunch of items from his treasure bag.

Under the old blind man's influence, Pei Si began collecting all sorts of strange and unusual objects, just in case he needed them.

Pei Si held a piece of jujube wood struck by lightning and used his strength to shape it into a rattle drum.

Then, Pei Si took out three copper bells and tied them to the rattle drum.

[The Thunder-Summoning Drum]

It doesn't actually attract thunder, but it can mimic the sound of thunder to lure out the lightning scorpion.

Subsequently, Pei Si made another object, which resembled a meteor hammer, but the hammerhead was replaced with a clamp-like object.

【Lightning-struck wood cleaver】!

Used for remote capture of thunderstorm scorpions!

Bang bang bang!

Pei Si shook the rattle drum, and the sound of the copper bells ringing was like thunder!

A thunderous roar, like a thunderclap rising from the ground, echoed through the valley.

The birds were so startled they darted through the forest, and tigers and leopards paced about in panic.

At this moment, throughout the valley.

Lu Shouhuai wore a bitter smile. In such a vast mountain forest, where could he possibly find the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion?

Bitter!

If Brother Pei were here, he would surely have a solution.

boom!

Lu Shouhuai suddenly heard thunder. He listened intently with his eyes closed, and after a moment, he ran toward the source of the sound.

Then there was another pair of people, dressed strangely, with fox and white lion masks on their faces.

"Brother, could it be that a Qi cultivator is summoning lightning?" The fox-woman's eyes flashed with doubt.

"Qi Refiners? Would Qi Refiners come to this godforsaken place? Those Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain didn't come to participate. I guess someone has the ability to imitate thunder." The white lion man shook his head.

"Bro, are we still going to the mountain temple to wait for that stinky Aries guy?"

"Wait my ass, I was just kidding him. Business is more important." The white lion man held a compass in his hand, the surface of which was coated with an unknown sticky substance.

"Then why do we still need to wear masks?"

…………

Pei Si shook the rattle drum, while Fang Tong kept observing.

The Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion was well hidden, and even with Bai Xiao's eyes watching, he couldn't find any trace of it.

"Such a commotion, and instead of attracting the scorpions, it's brought people here first."

Lu Shouhuai's figure appeared in Pei Si's field of vision, and in an instant, Pei Si's pupils returned to normal.

"Brother Pei, I knew right away it was you who made that noise," Lu Shouhuai said with a smile, adjusting his breathing.

Pei Si tossed the [Thunder-Summoning Rattle Drum] to Lu Shouhuai, "You shake it for me first, let me see what's going on!"

Lu Shouhuai said "Oh," took the Thunder-Summoning Rattle, and obediently started shaking it.

Pei Si placed an incense burner towards the direction of the mountain god temple, lit three incense sticks with a tinderbox, and gently shook it.

Pei Si held incense in his right hand and held his right hand with his left, bowing three times towards the direction of the mountain god temple.

Then, Pei Si pinched the first incense stick with his left middle finger and thumb and inserted it in the middle. He pinched the second incense stick with his ring finger and thumb and inserted it on the right side, and pinched the third incense stick with his index finger and thumb and inserted it on the far left.

The three incense sticks should be no more than one inch apart.

Lu Shouhuai stared at Pei Si with great interest; it turned out there were so many different ways to offer incense.

After a while.

The three incense sticks are level on both sides, with the middle one being the tallest.

Incense for increasing wealth!

According to the "Incense Manual," there is a sign of wealth coming within three days!

Pei Si sent out ten coins as incense money and placed them in the incense burner.

In the blink of an eye, the ten coins for incense disappeared into the incense burner.

Pei Si's face lit up with joy. He'd taken the money!

This can be done!

"Brother Lu, shake it hard!"

Perhaps it was Pei Si's extraordinary luck, for in no time at all, a three-tailed lightning scorpion, about the size of a chick and entirely blue, swayed and crawled out.

Upon seeing this, Lu Shouhuai's face lit up with joy, and he whispered, "Brother Pei, the Lightning Scorpion has appeared! Catch it!"

Unexpectedly, Pei Si shook his head, "Play the long game!"

After saying that, Pei Si made a hand seal with one hand, and an invisible [Spirit Sheep Seal] attached itself to the Lightning Scorpion.

Pei Si is going to buy at the bottom!

The Thunderstorm Scorpion warily watched Pei Si and his companion, its three tails converging and crackling with explosive sounds, with faint arcs of electricity visible.

Pei Si pulled Lu Shouhuai back several feet and explained, "The scorpion's killing move is in its tail; the electric arc there is enough to electrocute a person!"

Lu Shouhuai nodded. "Brother Pei, you know so much."

Pei Si skillfully shot out three throwing knives, which landed right in front of the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion.

boom!

As if provoked, the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion raised its back and its three tails shot out arcs of electricity, snapping an ancient tree as thick as a bowl in half.

Then, with lightning speed, the scorpion darted away.

"Keep up," Pei Si called out.

The two moved swiftly across the tree branches.

One hour later.

Pei Si and his companion stopped in front of a charred tree stump.

This tree stump requires two adults to hug it.

Lu Shouhuai stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily. He looked at Pei Si, who was completely relaxed, without blushing or sweating. In his heart, he thought Pei Si was a freak.

"Brother Pei, this should be the nest of the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion." Lu Shouhuai stood on the tree stump and looked down. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

Although the cave was dark, it was as bright as day in Pei Si's eyes, and even the fine hairs on the surface of the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion were clearly visible.

Pei Si roughly counted them and found there were about forty or fifty.

The mountain king is not deceiving me.

"Old Lu, do you want a scorpion?"

Lu Shouhuai was stunned, seeing Pei Si smiling at him.

For the next half hour, Lu Shouhuai was dumbfounded.

Pei Si stood on the tree stump, wielding an object that looked like a meteor hammer, which seemed to have eyes in his hand.

Every shot is sure to yield a result.

As expected, Young Master Lu's wallet is about to be empty.

Lu Shouhuai put away the sixteen Thunderstorm Scorpions. These creatures are valuable from head to toe, and because they are difficult to capture, they are not commonly found on the market.

Take it back and make wine for my father; that would be perfect.

Next, Pei Si used the same trick again and found another nest of thunderstorm lightning scorpions.

This nest was much smaller than the previous one, and there were about twenty or thirty birds inside.

Young Master Lu's wallet was empty again, and Pei Si now possessed sixty scorpions.

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, applause reached Pei Si and his companion's ears.

"Your skill is impressive. I feel an instant connection with you two. I wonder if you could share a portion of the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion with my brother and me?"

A man and a woman were half-squatting on a thick tree branch. They looked very similar and were looking at Pei Si with a half-smile.

"Hmph, brother, why waste your breath on them? I'll just be blunt: I'm backed by the Paper Making Family. If you two still want to survive in Qingcheng County, you'd better think it over carefully," a noisy female voice rang out.

"It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet." Pei Si thought to himself. What a coincidence, this brother and sister must have met in the Ghost Market.

Fox, white lion.

Lu Shouhuai remained calm and shielded Pei Si behind him, saying, "But Zhang Ji and Zhang Xin are here. I am Lu Shouhuai, please give me some face."

"Pfft!"

"Your name is Lu Shouhuai? Why aren't you Du Shouzhen? How come the younger generation of the Lu family has time to participate in the Winter Hunt?" Zhang Xin sneered twice, his eyes full of mockery.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm telling you right now, if you don't hand over the scorpion, you die!" Zhang Jisen smiled coldly and jumped down.

A paper soldier clad in armor quietly stood beside Zhang Ji.
