He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Small ink characters are faintly visible.

Pei Si put away the small purple jade bottle.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer." Pei Si set fire to Huang Sanlang's corpse, left the underground cave, rode straight into Xingle County, and paid the entrance fee.

…………

Five hundred miles of Langdang Mountain.

cave.

One by one, the soul lamps were placed on the stone steps, guarded by three or five weasel demons.

Suddenly, a high-ranking and prominently positioned soul lamp swayed and went out after three breaths.

"Oh no, that's the bloodline of the Great Ancestor!" A weasel rushed to the Soul Lamp, then turned and shouted to its comrades below the stone steps, "It's Sanlang! It's Huang Sanlang, the guardian of the stalactite marrow!"

"Go quickly and report to the Grand Ancestor!"

The remaining weasels looked at each other, their foreheads already covered in cold sweat.

Good heavens, this isn't a congratulatory message, it's a report of the Great Ancestor's death!

Huang Sanlang was a direct descendant of the Great Ancestor. He was assigned the easy job of guarding the stalactites and stalagmites, which was coveted by his clansmen.

"Huang Yao, you should go and report to the Great Ancestor," the weasels said in unison.

Huang Yao's hands, holding the soul lamp, trembled slightly. Looking at his colleagues below the stage, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it!"

…………

The Great Ancestor Cave is located on the highest point of Langdang Mountain.

Inside the cave, the Great Ancestor sat high on a stone throne.

This ancestor had already transformed into human form, with a pair of yellowish-brown, hairy ears on his head.

Da Zu slurped up chicken feet and sipped fine wine, looking completely satisfied.

The more he sat down, the more comfortable the stone seat beneath him felt; it was handcrafted by his grandson.

The Grand Ancestor felt a mixture of worry and joy when he thought of Sanlang.

What's good is that Sanlang is filial and loves to read, but what's worrying is Sanlang's intelligence.

As I pondered, Sanlang's cross-eyed eyes seemed to appear before me.

The Five Hundred Miles of Langdang Mountain is not only home to the weasel clan, but also to two other clans: the blood ox and the three-eyed fox.

Later, the weasel clan grew powerful and became the king of the mountain. As the most senior and most powerful member of the weasel clan, he was called the Great Ancestor by all three clans.

The twin bears, skilled in strategy and manipulating people's hearts, are revered as the Second Ancestor.

Suddenly, the patriarch dropped the chicken bone. For some reason, he had a feeling of unease.

"Your Majesty, Huang Yao has come to report." A guard came to report.

"Let him in," the Great Ancestor waved his hand.

He remembered Huang Yao.

The year before last, a clan celebration.

He suddenly thought of his descendants, especially Sanlang's cross-eyed eyes that were often full of wisdom, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sanlang's IQ and EQ are too low, he doesn't know how to act as a demon."

Huang Yao suddenly stood up, raised his cup to toast him, and said, "Grand Ancestor, what you call emotional intelligence is nothing more than knowing how to read other people's expressions. You, Grandmother, and Second Ancestor fought for so many years to dominate Langdang Mountain, wasn't it all so that your descendants wouldn't have to act according to other people's whims?"

These words struck a chord with the Great Ancestor, and he remembered Huang Yao.

Huang Yao seems to be guarding the soul lamp?

The Great Ancestor's pupils suddenly contracted, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

As expected, Huang Yao burst into tears and knelt down with a thud. "Great Ancestor, Young Master Sanlang's soul lamp has been extinguished! Please, Great Ancestor, quickly devise a method to investigate and avenge Young Master!"

The Great Ancestor suddenly stood up, strode to Huang Yao, and snatched the Soul Lamp away.

A wisp of remnant soul floats within the soul lamp.

With a flick of his finger, the remnant soul disappeared into the space between his eyebrows.

The events that Huang Sanlang experienced during his lifetime were displayed one by one in the eyes of the Great Ancestor.

He saw a white sheep demon use the pretext of delivering a message to stab Sanlang to death!

Aries, Aries!

No, it doesn't seem to be a sheep demon; he's wearing a mask.

The Great Ancestor was completely focused, unwilling to overlook any detail.

The killer is Fang Tong, not human! But we can't be sure, what if he used a disguise technique?

The Great Ancestor was bewildered. Was the murderer a human who used a disguise technique, or a demon?

The underground cave is located at the border of Xing'an County and Qingcheng County.

In a short period of time, the killer could only have gone to these two places!

"Huang Jian, go and invite the Second Ancestor over; I have important matters to discuss with him!"

A murderous glint flashed in the ancestor's eyes. Killing his descendants would leave a lingering scent on his body for a short time, unless the murderer had a higher-ranking mark on him!

Unless, don't even think about covering it up!

…………

Laifu Inn.

Pei Si requested a superior room.

Inside the room, there was a large wooden barrel, as tall as an adult.

The large wooden tub was full of hot water, and Pei Si kept adding medicinal herbs into it.

Some were collected from the mountains, and some were bought from Qingzhitang.

The prescription was obtained from Sect Leader Ruan.

Pei Si wants to use a medicinal bath to open up the Ren and Du meridians!

"Da da da".

Stalactite chalcedony dripped into the wooden bucket.

Pei Si stood in the wooden tub, his feet parallel, his knees not extending past his toes, his arms wrapped around himself as if embracing the moon!

Monkey Embracing the Moon Stance!

The medicinal herbs transformed into boundless and powerful medicinal energy, which first flowed into Pei Si's twelve meridians, and under Pei Si's deliberate guidance, impacted the Ren and Du meridians.

Half an hour later.

Pei Si's eyes brightened as he jumped out of the wooden tub.

The Ren and Du meridians have been opened.

Pei Si felt warm and comfortable all over, and his internal strength increased by 50% out of nowhere. He spread his arms and rotated them as if pushing a millstone, coordinating with his breathing.

When viewed directly with the naked eye, it appears as if small vortices are gathering in the hand.

The second stage of meridian unblocking has been completed! Also known as "vigorous circulation throughout the body".

"The progress is too slow; let's continue practicing!"

Pei Si took a deep breath, and with the boost from the [left and right superposition], he quickly got into the zone.

Practicing martial arts techniques will improve your comprehension and speed!

That night, Pei Si opened his eyes.

A punch was thrown out, the force was instantaneous and without any delay!

The wooden barrel, as tall as an adult, was blasted into dust.

The force of the punch is about to be unleashed!

This is the unity of intention and strength!

The Meridian Opening Realm has been perfected!

The moon had risen, and before we knew it, it was dark.

Glug glug.

Pei Si's stomach started rumbling, and a feeling of hunger welled up inside him. Pei Si felt like he could eat a whole cow right now!

Go outside, go downstairs!

Meals are always available inside the inn.

Pei Si first ordered a large table of chicken, duck, fish and meat, then asked for a pot of medicinal cuisine, and took out a large piece of howling monster meat to have the kitchen grill it.

Pei Si ate the medicinal food, along with a table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and his hunger was completely satisfied.

While waiting for his grilled meat to be served, Pei Si listened to the conversations of the diners around him.

Logically speaking, since Pei Si was staying in the superior room, he could have had the kitchen deliver the meals to his room.

Pei Si came to this hall for a meal in order to gather some information.

"This is strange. Why are there so many weasels suddenly appearing in the city?"

"Yes, in this freezing weather, instead of staying in their burrows, the weasels are out and about."

"It doesn't seem to be looking for food; it's just wandering around the city, like it's looking for something..."

"I came from Qingcheng County, and it's the same there—weasels are running rampant everywhere!"

Listening to the diners' chatter, Pei Si became alert.

Are Huang Sanlang's family members here seeking revenge, tracking his scent? Or what?

"Sir, your skewers are ready!" The waiter brought over a plate of grilled skewers sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, the aroma of which was irresistible.

"Take it to my room."

"Alright, please go first."

…………

Pei Si finished the large skewer in no time.

He took out a pitch-black jar from the treasure bag.

The moment the jar was taken out, the room suddenly became several degrees colder.

"Concealing one's scent, I'm good at that."

Pei Si grinned.
