I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Section 092 Pet Talisman

A moment later, Zhou Yunshen gracefully left Dazhu Village.

This trip to Dazhu Village cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In addition, he also gave Captain Chen a spiritual herb that could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, which was worth more than a thousand taels of silver.

He wasn't particularly distressed about it.

After all, he was spending the Qin family's money.

The reason Dazhu Village has become like this is because of the Qin family's misdeeds. It's perfectly reasonable to use the Qin family's money to compensate Dazhu Village.

At that time, he plundered more than 500,000 taels of silver from the Qin family, not including spirit stones, spirit herbs, pills and the like.

Later, after killing Qin Ruyuan, the head of the Qin family, he found valuables worth tens of thousands of taels of silver in Qin Ruyuan's storage ring. The spiritual herb he gave to Captain Chen was also found in that ring.

Besides the 50,000 taels of silver he paid to the Xuan Nan Kingdom government and the silver he spent on settling the villagers in the two villages, he still had more than 400,000 taels of silver left.

It must be said that such long-established and powerful families are truly wealthy.

This is still a Foundation Establishment family in a county town; the Golden Core families in prefectural cities would only be even wealthier.

Zhou Yunshen planned to keep 100,000 taels of the money he plundered from the Qin family, and donate the rest to the Xia Kingdom government.

The Xia Kingdom government has been providing him with cultivation resources at any cost recently, allowing him to quickly raise his cultivation level to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

A series of enhancement programs will be implemented on him in the future.

Although the government's goal was to give him greater strength to conquer the dungeons, all of these massive resources were ultimately spent on him.

Now that he has money, he should give back a little; he can't be the kind of stingy miser he is.

Those miscellaneous pills, as well as some spiritual herbs and fruits that he didn't need, could also be given to the government.

As for the several hundred spirit stones plundered from the Qin family, there's no need to give them to the government; he can keep them for himself.

With his plan in mind, Zhou Yunshen felt a bit lighter as he flew through the air.

This time, he once again chose to fly at extremely low altitudes.

As he flew, he released his divine sense, constantly scanning the mountains and forests below.

Below him is the road leading out of Dazhu Village.

Once Zhou Yun Shen detected any wild beasts or snakes that posed a threat to ordinary people, he would simply throw down a spark—no, a fire locust—and those beasts and snakes would be instantly burned to charcoal.

After scanning back and forth twice, Zhou Yunshen had eliminated all threats on the road out of the village.

The price Zhou Yunshen paid was the consumption of a spirit stone. Due to the excessive consumption of his divine sense power, he rested in the forest several times, but still appeared exhausted and listless.

The gain was that his control over his own power became more refined.

This can be considered a form of self-cultivation, and it's not a waste of time.

Zhou Yunshen sat on a rock in the mountains to rest for a while, then stood up, his figure soaring into the air and flying towards the direction of Luchuan Prefecture.

In Dazhu Village, the villagers gathered together once again.

This time, it wasn't Zhou Yunshen standing on the steep slope, but Captain Chen.

After Captain Chen consumed the spiritual herb given to him by Zhou Yunshen, his severed arm actually grew back.

The newly severed arm was as tender and fragile as a baby's arm, and it was powerless. However, Captain Chen still felt very excited and felt that there was hope for life. He swept away his previous dejected appearance.

His sharp gaze swept over the villagers below, and he said in a loud voice, "You've all heard the immortal's words. If you want to live, hurry up and pack your things today. We'll leave the village first thing tomorrow morning! Remember, only pack your valuables. Don't take any bulky items. The silver the immortal gave you is enough to buy a house and furniture in the city!"

The villagers had no objections to this.

Captain Chen continued in a loud voice, "Zhou Erzhu, the Immortal, is an immortal who came from our Dazhu Village. Even after becoming an immortal, he still thinks of us and cares for our safety, giving us so much silver. Tell me, shouldn't we be grateful for his kindness?!"

"Master Zhou was so good to us. I think we should set up a longevity tablet for him and put it in our homes to worship every day," said an elderly villager in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, we should erect a longevity tablet for him," a villager agreed.

If Zhou Yunshen were here, he would definitely be both amused and exasperated.

"Old man... How can a spirited 20-year-old be so old?"

Even on Earth, he's only in his twenties.

And this longevity tablet, the village used to worship the mountain god, now it's his turn?

……

Zhou Yunshen's consciousness returned to the real world.

He opened the game forum and contacted the forum administrator directly, asking, "Do you know how to collect spirit pets in the Xuan Yuan World?"

The forum administrator quickly replied to Zhou Yunshen: "Please wait a moment, I'll go and look up the information for you."

"Okay." Zhou Yunshen agreed and began to wait.

A few minutes later, the administrator replied: "To acquire a spirit pet in the Xuan Yuan World, you need a Spirit Pet Talisman. Use the talisman to sign a contract with the pet. Once the contract is successfully signed, you will obtain the spirit pet."

Zhou Yunshen: Where can I buy a spirit pet talisman?

Administrator: "Lower-quality items are sold in the Treasure Pavilion in your prefectural city. High-quality items are controlled by major sects and families and rarely come out of the market. Even if they do, they are extremely expensive."

Zhou Yunshen: "What's the difference between poor quality and good quality?"

Administrator: "Poor-quality pet talismans have a low success rate in forming contracts with pets. Even if a contract is successfully formed, it's not very stable, and the pet may turn against you. High-quality talismans have a higher success rate in forming contracts with pets, the contracts are more stable, and the possibility of being attacked by the pet is lower."

Zhou Yunshen: "This spirit pet can actually turn against you."

Administrator: "Yes, the possibility of a spirit pet backlashing depends on the strength of both the pet itself and its master. The stronger the pet and the weaker the master, the greater the possibility of backlash. It also depends on the relationship with the master; the more harmonious the relationship, the lower the possibility of backlash."

The administrator was like an encyclopedia, answering Zhou Yunshen's questions in detail.

Zhou Yunshen was not surprised by this.

After all, the administrators are backed by the government, and there is a huge database about the game "Xuan Yuan Invasion" built by the government.

The information contained in this database, provided by players, covers all the major and minor events in the entire Xuan Yuan Realm.

In terms of sheer breadth of information, even the immortal sects and clans of the Xuan Yuan World, which have existed for countless years, would probably be far behind.

Zhou Yunshen: "I see..."

Administrator: "Mr. Zhou, are you planning to acquire a spirit pet to keep by your side?"
