Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 104 Year 3

Outside the Forgotten Village, Shang Liangshan collected the piles of bear and wolf corpses, looked at the bloody skeletons, and asked Yang Chao, who was grinning, "Does the village have the materials to refine these skeletons into mechanical beasts?"

These skeletons are the corpses of wolf demons and bear demons, which were left after the butchers butchered them.

There were thirteen wolf monsters and eight bear monsters, a total of twenty-one.

If all these skeletons were refined into mechanical beasts, Forgotten Township would have twenty-one more mechanical beasts that were no weaker than those of fourth-grade warriors. This was the terror of the Mohist school.

"Oh." Yang Chao's silly smile disappeared after hearing this. He thought about it and shook his head and said, "No."

After saying this, he threw a bag to Shang Liangshan and said, "This time, refining the mechanical beast involves many aspects, so there is no rush for now."

"The most urgent task is to extract the monster's soul and keep it safely."

"The souls of demon beasts are a huge fortune. Whether it's being devoured by demon spirits or absorbed by demon spirits, it can greatly enhance the strength of the village."

After listening to this, Shang Liangshan looked at Yang Chao with satisfaction, put away the small cloth bag, and disappeared on the spot.

He had to go back to extract the souls and refine the bear and wolf corpses.

Refining thousands of bear and wolf corpses is indeed a huge workload.

"Why is he looking so weird?" Yang Chao muttered. Just as he was about to think about the refining plan, he saw the blood-soaked leopard walking towards him quickly.

The blood on the leopard was splashed when the bear-wolf monster's corpse was dissected.

He looked at Yibao with a questioning look, and the latter looked around before asking, "Brother Chao, where is the Seventh Elder?"

"Liang Shan is back to work, do you have something to do?"

"There is no time to process the internal organs and minced meat of cattle, sheep and horses. I would like to ask the Seventh Elder how to deal with them."

"Leave it there for now. Once Liangshan has refined the bear and wolf corpses, he will come out to collect them."

"This is the only way." Yibao nodded and said, "Brother Chao, you are busy." Then he turned around and walked back with quick steps.

"Carriage, I need a carriage to transport the skeleton back to the village for processing." Yang Chao said anxiously.

"I'll arrange it right away." Yibao responded and hurried to arrange it.

"I can't sleep tonight." Yang Chao muttered, then turned his gaze to the somewhat broken skeleton of the bear monster, thinking about how to repair it.

There were so many dead beasts that the entire Forgotten Army and civilians were busy, and they were not able to finish until the next morning.

After being called by the old patriarch, Shang Liangshan also took some time out to clean the floor and collect the accumulated offal and minced meat.

The smoke and fire filled the entire Forgotten Township as bacon was being smoked.

With lanterns and decorations hung to welcome the New Year, on New Year's Eve, Shang Liangshan presented the old patriarch with a big gift, three boxes of blood pills.

Even though the old patriarch was mentally prepared, his heart still trembled when he saw three boxes of Blood Qi Pills on the tea table.

The old man swallowed his saliva, looked at Shang Liangshan and asked in a trembling voice: "How many blood qi pills are there?"

"I haven't counted the exact number, but it should be no less than 5,000." Shang Liangshan said nonchalantly.

"Fifty-five thousand." The old patriarch suddenly felt short of breath and his face turned red.

Yihuo, who was standing by, saw this and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly struck the old patriarch on the chest to calm him down and almost sent him away.

Of course, this is a joke. The old patriarch doesn't have high blood pressure. He was just excited and his blood was rushing. He was also very strong.

"Chief, you are too nervous. It's just five thousand Blood Qi Pills. Look how calm I am. I'm not out of breath or my heart is not beating fast." Yihuo said contemptuously.

"If a person is not breathing and his heart is not beating, he is dead." The old patriarch glared at Yihuo, the fool, and said unhappily.

"Hehe, I haven't received much education, so I just want to stay calm." Yihuo laughed, not embarrassed at all.

That's the benefit of being thick-skinned.

"Old Patriarch, what do you want tonight?" Shang Liangshan asked out of curiosity. If it were in his previous life, tonight would be New Year's Eve and they would have to stay up all night.

"Yes," the old patriarch nodded, closed the lid of the box and said, "Set off firecrackers in the middle of the night to ward off evil."

"New Year's Eve?" Shang Liangshan was stunned when he heard this and asked in doubt.

"To remove filth." The old patriarch added.

"Oh" Shang Liangshan was confused, it turned out that he had heard it wrong.

"After removing the filth, we welcome the New Year with great joy, which means eating and drinking to our heart's content," Yihuo added.

“It’s only this year that we can eat and drink to our heart’s content. In previous years, we just ate and drank.” The old patriarch sighed.

"I remember the worst year was when we drank meat soup, which was a piece of meat stewed with a big pot of wild vegetables," Yihuo recalled.

"In the end, you drank up all the soup in the pot." The old patriarch responded with contempt.

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember it? Let's go to Liangshan, take a walk in the countryside, have fun with the folks, and then go to Yanfeng." Yihuo stood up and said.

As long as I don't admit it, it never happened.

Shang Liangshan stood up and looked at the old patriarch.

"You two go first. I'll come after I put the blood pill away." The old patriarch stood up, put away the three boxes, and walked quickly towards the Forgotten Temple, as if he was afraid that they would be robbed.

In response, Shang Liangshan and Yihuo smiled at each other and walked out slowly.

When you leave the temple, you can see children riding on silver wolves and hunting dogs, trotting on the bright mountain path. The cheerful "cluck" sounds echo one after another under the night sky, which is so joyful.

"Sixth brother, stop being silly and laugh. Let's go climb the rock peak to admire the stars. The eldest brother and the others have already gone." Yihuochong shouted to Yiliu, who was sitting at the gate of the temple guard camp, watching the children playing and laughing.

"Coming soon." Yiliu stood up and told his big dog to take care of the silver wolf and the hound, then walked towards the two and asked cheerfully, "Where is the clan leader?"

"The clan leader has gone to put the treasure away. He will be back soon." Yihuo responded.

"Baby?" Yiliu stepped forward and asked.

Yihuo did not hide anything and whispered the matter of the five thousand Blood Qi Pills.

"Five thousand Blood Qi Pills are indeed a treasure...wait, how many?" Yi Liu thought he had heard wrongly.

"Not many, only 1,500." Shang Liangshan was afraid that Yi Liu would get too excited, so he interrupted hurriedly.

"One thousand five hundred!" Yi Liuzheng opened his eyes wide when he heard this. Fortunately, he was not too excited because this number was within their guess and within the acceptable range.

As for the five thousand Blood Qi Pills, he would automatically ignore them because the number was too terrifying.

When Yihuo saw Yiliu’s red face, he stopped snorting.

One thousand five hundred pills is also quite good, in order to prevent them from getting too excited after hearing about the five thousand Blood Qi Pills. He would then have to use his palms to help them regulate their anger, which was very troublesome.

Walking in the village, Shang Liangshan felt the strong atmosphere of the New Year. The villagers sat in groups of three or five at the doorsteps, chatting and laughing.

When the villagers saw Shang Liangshan and his two companions approaching, they all greeted them cheerfully.

There is no awe, but closeness and heartfelt respect.

It would be good to be promoted again, all right, but Shang Liangshan did not like being promoted again, so he lowered his status and became the seventh elder.

But did the Seventh Elder really lower his status? No, on the contrary, it made the military and civilians respect him even more.
