6: Chapter 6: Asking for Trouble! Changing Class to Dao Soldier!

"With me here... you don't need to worry about being coerced."

"That treasure..."

"Don't speak."

Pei Lingshu's face stiffened, and she felt a faint, inexplicable anger.

Since she was a child, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that!

The horses leaped forward several hundred paces... Shen Yi abruptly turned his horse around.

Looking from a high vantage point... he saw those several figures walking towards the blind box!

Following a flash of blood-red light.

The blind box was annihilated and turned into powder.

A tattered suit of armor emerged from the small box, and a bloody scent began to spread...

Roars, screeches, and unintelligible low growls echoed across the wilderness.

Seeing this, Pei Lingshu's pupils contracted, and she looked suspiciously at Shen Yi.

"Second-grade Soldier Evil Qi?"

"How did you know?"

Pei Lingshu turned her head abruptly, only to see a face that was terrifyingly calm.

In those pupils, a sea of blood was reflected.

Not until everyone was completely dead did he slowly turn his horse around.

"I guessed it."

The horses walked slowly into the distance... Pei Lingshu's voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

"Guessed it? Why do I find that so hard to believe?"

"What, could I see it? If I could see it... would I even bother being an official? Wouldn't it be better to just collect blind boxes and get rich?"

"That is true."

"However..."

"However what?"

"The promised doubling of the dowry..."

"Why don't you choke yourself to death?"

Under the moonlight, severed limbs and broken arms lay scattered, the stench of blood unbearable.

The second-grade Soldier Evil Qi had slaughtered all the living things before it, but now it had no target.

Subconsciously, it was about to head left and right, sniffing for the scent of humans.

A withered, ghostly figure quietly emerged... and pressed down lightly with one hand.

That Soldier Evil Qi was instantly annihilated into nothingness.

He watched the current tragedy with an expressionless face... then looked in the direction where the two had left.

A few ripples appeared in his murky eyes.

"Quite interesting..."

"The methods are ruthless... killing without burying."

"And waiting until everyone is dead before leaving... that can be considered thorough."

"But this ability to see through the blind box... is it luck? Or a different method?"

"Only those from ancient Immortal Sects or high-ranking officials of the Immortal Dynasty possess the means to see through blind boxes; they naturally wouldn't care about such petty profits."

"This kid... doesn't seem like an ordinary person either."

"Sigh... and now I have to clean up after him."

By the time they returned to Qinghe Town, it was already the next day.

At the town entrance, Pei Lingshu frowned and pinched her nose, looking at Qinghe Town, with its rammed earth and sky filled with yellow sand.

Does a place like this really exist in the world?

Many of the commoners in Qinghe Town saw that Pei Lingshu had an extraordinary aura, and not knowing the full story, they didn't dare to say much.

The Old Village Chief was an old fox and chuckled.

"Lord Shen... you've returned?"

"The room has already been cleaned; please, honored guest, do not mind it."

Pei Lingshu held her nose high and entered Qinghe Town.

After settling Pei Lingshu in, Shen Yi hurriedly found Wang Dachui, who was still tilling the fields!

He also called the Old Village Chief into the main courtyard.

The three of them squatted under a tree, whispering to each other, looking quite shady!

Shen Yi sneakily took the soldier armor pill out from his bosom.

The Old Village Chief was elderly, but he had never seen an immortal item, so he was somewhat puzzled.

"Lord... what is this?"

Shen Yi spoke up.

"This item... is called a soldier armor pill, and it is a treasure of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect!"

"By consuming this, one can cultivate the military Dao lineage and grow armor-like structures on their body... greatly increasing defense!"

"It is a miraculous treasure!"

The old man clicked his tongue in wonder, while Wang Dachui swallowed a mouthful of saliva!

Shen Yi, however, said with a serious expression.

"Old man, let's get the ugly truth out of the way first... Originally, my plan was to train Dachui as a martial artist."

"Military Cultivators are destined for frequent conflicts and constant warfare!"

"If you are unwilling, I will simply find someone else..."

"I can purchase a martial art for Wang Dachui to practice!"

"Military Cultivators not only have to fight constantly, but they are also deeply affected by the military Evil Qi, requiring extremely strong willpower."

"You are his grandfather... I feel you need to know this!"

"Grandpa..."

Wang Dachui was somewhat excited.

He felt that this soldier armor pill was the very thing he had dreamed of... he couldn't wait to swallow it right now!

But then he saw the old man tap Wang Dachui's head with his pipe, then exhale a thick cloud of smoke.

His eyes were calm, carrying a hint of inquiry.

"This old bag of bones knows that Lord Shen is different from those aristocratic youths and Immortal Dynasty officials."

"Lord Shen leads by example... for the past half year, it is because of Lord Shen that our Qinghe Town has seen some improvement."

"But when it concerns my child, I must ask."

"Will there come a day when Lord Shen treats my child as cannon fodder... and throws him away at will?"

The old man stared fixedly at Shen Yi, but Shen Yi shook his head.

Wang Dachui's rate of return was extremely high; how could he be cannon fodder?

He had originally intended to cultivate him as a trusted general.

Otherwise, why bother giving away a soldier armor pill?

He said solemnly.

"He won't... In the future, Dachui will be very important to me and to Qinghe Town!"

Upon hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then there's nothing more to say!"

"This is an Opportunity the Lord has given my grandson... how could this old thing stop him?"

Subsequently, the old man looked at Wang Dachui, slapped Wang Dachui's forehead hard, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Dachui, don't you learn from that brat Wang Teng."

"You must keep Lord Shen's grace firmly in your heart!"

"Although our Qinghe Town is not big, our family is not allowed to produce traitors, losers, or deserters!"

"Grandpa, what are you saying? How could I!"

"Alright! Don't say any more sentimental things."

Shen Yi placed the item into Wang Dachui's hand.

Wang Dachui swallowed it whole as if it were a ginseng fruit.

Suddenly, heat waves emerged from his body!

A rakshasa statue suddenly appeared on the open ground.

A gloomy, chilling aura rushed towards them... Shen Yi's heart stirred, and he took out some copper coins from his bosom.

This was... his last bit of savings.

These copper coins could completely offset the spiritual items needed to convert a First-grade Dao Soldier...

A deep, black Evil Qi was fed back, injecting into Wang Dachui's Physical Body!

Wang Dachui's muscles knotted, as if pitch-black insects were moving beneath his skin.

The stratum corneum on his body became extremely thick.

His eyes were bloodshot and incomparably ferocious... as if he were enduring intense pain!

He gritted his teeth and didn't say a word!

About half an hour passed.

Wang Dachui's expression suddenly relaxed... his Physical Body grew taller again, reaching nearly three meters.

Even Shen Yi, who was 1.85 meters tall, could only look up at him!

Wang Dachui's bronze-colored skin was solid, his eyes indifferent, containing wisps of Evil Qi.

He slowly bent his knees and knelt.

"Thank you, Lord Shen!"

Shen Yi nodded, feeling pleased, and said with a smile to the old man beside him.

"The name Wang Dachui... no longer suits him now."

"In my opinion... it would be better to change his name to something more domineering, so as not to be laughed at!"

The old man was also quite happy... and agreed repeatedly.

"Whatever the Lord says!"

Shen Yi pondered slightly and said with a smile.

"From now on... you shall be called."

"Wang Meng!"

"These five Rakshasa Guard Puppets are also fully entrusted to your control!"

"Thank you for bestowing the name, my Lord!"
