134: Clean and neat kill

While Shi Yi was pitting her wits against the boss, the staff member nearby remained in a state of shock and excitement. Her heart was screaming!

Ninety-eight trillion Spirit Stones? Wouldn't her commission be 9.8 billion Spirit Stones?

"Hahahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich! I'm getting filthy rich! Screw this job, screw this boss, I'm finally free from Spirit Stones!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to travel around Danling State, I'm going to pursue a glorious life of my own!"

Shi Yi was also incredibly satisfied; having completed the task so brilliantly, her Master would surely be very happy upon her return.

An hour later, Shi Yi left the shop with fifty sets of Pill Furnaces. It was still early, so she continued on to purchase medicinal herbs.

According to Lu Hao's instructions, she was to buy all common medicinal herbs or any herbs he hadn't managed to acquire.

Thus, Shi Yi began another massive sweep.

Medicinal herbs were different from Pill Furnaces. She didn't know the exact price of the furnaces, only that the profit margin was high, but she was familiar with medicinal herbs!

She knew the cost price of every herb clearly! She knew exactly how much profit each herb had!

Although she was a newcomer, she had worked at the Tianbao Medicine Pavilion for over three months.

So, with Shi Yi going to buy medicinal herbs, the shop owners were in for a world of suffering...

Inside a small shop, Shi Yi bought nearly 80% of the medicinal herbs!

The owner was a young man named Bing Derong. Initially, he was very happy. What was going on today? Had the God of Wealth visited him?

But soon, he couldn't smile when it came time to settle the bill.

Shi Yi was terrifyingly meticulous, explaining the cost price and profit margin for every single herb she purchased.

At first, Bing Derong wanted to argue, but seeing that Shi Yi wasn't listening to him at all, Bing Derong could only fall silent.

He had encountered a fellow professional!

There was no helping it; when the other party clearly knew the market price, how could this business be negotiated? It couldn't!

Fortunately, Shi Yi knew when to stop and eventually allowed Bing Derong a 10% profit margin, otherwise, the deal would have fallen through.

Seeing that there was still a 10% profit, Bing Derong gritted his teeth and sold them!

His heart pained a little, as his usual profit margin in the shop exceeded 70%!

However, he thought about it again and felt balanced. At worst, he could just restock.

After buying from this shop, Shi Yi headed to other medicinal herb stores.

It wasn't until the sun was setting and the crimson sunset filled the entire sky that Shi Yi decided to return.

Her face wore a brilliant smile as she set off to fly back to the village.

The puppet still followed silently behind. Throughout the day, it just followed quietly without making a sound.

Its face had facial features drawn on in a crooked manner, just like a child's first attempt at drawing.

Suddenly, the puppet's figure paused, and the lines of its mouth strangely curved into an arc.

Then, it flashed and disappeared. Shi Yi saw this but didn't think anything of it.

She just assumed the puppet had returned early.

On the path Shi Yi had just passed, four people rapidly caught up.

Their faces were filled with greed, and their eyes were full of desire.

They all carried Magic Treasures, either long swords or giant axes, and their bodies exuded a bloody aura.

One didn't need to guess to know that these were people intending to rob Shi Yi along the way!

They had originally been in the shop buying Pill Furnaces and had accidentally witnessed the massive transaction between Shi Yi and the shopkeeper!

Almost in an instant, their hearts were filled with greed.

This young girl, so young and with such low cultivation, was actually so wealthy!

However, within the city, they didn't dare to rob her openly, fearing interference from the City Lord's Mansion.

The public security of the entire Guangdong City was actually quite good, and Yin Xinghai, as the City Lord, had indeed done a lot for the city.

For example, in every area of the city, there were troops from the City Lord's Mansion patrolling.

Precisely because of this, various accidents rarely occurred in the city now.

It was precisely because of this concern that they chose to wait until they understood the situation before acting!

So, throughout the day, they followed Shi Yi from a distance as if nothing was wrong, wanting to see where she lived, and waiting for the dead of night to take the next step.

Never did they expect that after buying some medicinal herbs, Shi Yi would actually leave Guangdong City!

This delighted them; outside the city, wouldn't it be easy to seize?

So they quickly followed and caught up.

Just as they were about to catch up, their figures paused.

A humanoid puppet had appeared in front of them at some point.

It was exactly the humanoid puppet that had been following Shi Yi all day!

This puppet was entirely white, the wind constantly blowing up its empty robes, and its face had crooked facial features drawn on; it looked extremely eerie just by looking at it!

But the few were anxious to kill Shi Yi and weren't prepared to waste words. Since it dared to block the way, it had to die!

Without another word, they charged over.

But the puppet didn't move at all. The sickle in its right hand flashed, and it swung it casually at the four people.

In an instant, their heads flew off, and blood sprayed out!

Their headless corpses flew forward a short distance due to inertia, then fell toward the ground.

From beginning to end, the four of them didn't make a single sound.

After Little Green finished swinging the sickle with its right hand, a lantern flashed into its left hand.

It held the lantern and shone it toward the four corpses.

Subsequently, four souls slowly floated out of their bodies and were then slowly drawn into the lantern.

They seemed to feel the immense terror of that lantern; the expressions on their faces were extremely hideous, struggling and roaring incessantly.

There was also begging for mercy.

But it was useless. No matter what they did, the outcome wouldn't change, and soon they were drawn into the lantern.

After being locked inside, one could seemingly still hear their extremely painful wails—a sound even more fearful and painful than facing death.

If they could choose death at this moment, those four would probably choose to die without hesitation!

Because inside that lantern, it was truly a fate worse than death!

Little Green put away the sickle and lantern and flashed back behind Shi Yi.

Seeing the puppet return, Shi Yi replied:

"Why did you come back? Where did you just go?"

Little Green didn't respond.

Seeing this, Shi Yi didn't ask further and continued on her way.

A moment later, Shi Yi finally arrived at the village. Lu Hao had already set up a campfire outside and started roasting meat.

Seeing Shi Yi return, he stood up and smiled faintly:

"Shi Yi, you're back? Did you buy the items?"

Shi Yi excitedly gave the items she purchased to Lu Hao and returned the remaining Spirit Stones to Lu Hao.

"Master, these are the items I purchased today. The other half of the Pill Furnaces aren't ready yet, and I have to go back to get them in three days."

"Hmm?"

Lu Hao frowned.
