Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters
#23 - New house and late night visitors
The cultivation of the Green Hill Body Tempering Art requires the assistance of some medicinal materials.
Shen Lin felt that if he directly used the system to forcibly deduce it, he should also be able to master this martial art, but it would definitely not be efficient and would consume more demon lifespan.
Although the medicinal materials listed in the animal skin scroll were not ordinary herbs and would cost a lot of silver.
But clearly, spending some silver to save some demon lifespan was a worthwhile deal.
Shen Lin currently had more than seven thousand taels of silver on him, which was definitely enough.
Carrying the silver notes, he was just about to go out when he suddenly stopped and scanned his surroundings.
The cultivation of the Green Hill Body Tempering Art required using those rare medicinal materials for medicinal baths.
But right now, in the dilapidated courtyard of his predecessor, in the shabby house, there wasn't even a bathtub...
Forget it...
Shen Lin sighed and returned to the house.
When he walked out again, he had a cloth bag on his shoulder and a sword in his hand.
He took all his belongings with him.
It was already good enough that he had lived in this broken place for a few days, he couldn't possibly live here forever.
He might as well change houses today.
When Shen Lin walked down the street with large and small bags, many of the vendors and pedestrians on the road greeted him enthusiastically.
"Master Shen, can you give me a few days grace for this month's dues? Business has been really bad lately..."
"Master Shen! I beg you! Please spare my Yu'er, she's only twelve years old this year..."
"Freshly baked roast chicken, Master Shen, please try it. Um, do you think this year's bill should be..."
Along the way, some people ran away directly after seeing Shen Lin, abandoning their stalls. Those who couldn't escape knelt down and begged for a few days' grace.
Three old men hugged his legs, hoping he would spare their daughters. Five restaurants wanted to ask for the bills he had previously run up, but hesitated.
Even seven people stuffed silver into his palm, hoping he could take care of their brothers and sisters in prison.
What the hell is all this!
Although he had already learned from his predecessor's memory that this guy's actions after becoming a yamen runner were very inhuman, he didn't expect his notoriety to have reached the point where children would stop crying.
There was nothing he could do, after all, it was a debt left by this body.
Shen Lin could only ignore those vendors, give some money to appease those old men, saying that he was just joking before.
Then, he used the silver notes in his hand to settle the restaurant bills, drove away those who stuffed silver, and arrived at the brokerage in a disheveled state.
Just like that, seven hundred taels were gone from his seven thousand taels of silver notes.
Seven hundred taels!
In the Great Wei Dynasty, a sheep only cost one tael and two qian.
Converted to his previous life, that's almost four to five hundred thousand RMB.
How on earth did the previous owner manage to owe so much money to people?
After transmigrating to this world, it was the first time he went out for a stroll and discovered the extraordinary nature of his identity as a yamen runner.
He wasn't even a clerk, yet he could owe seven hundred taels in the county town, and the other party didn't dare to ask for it.
But when he thought of the urban management auxiliary police in his previous life in the small county town...
It seemed that the times hadn't progressed much...
Shaking his head, he threw the content that might not pass the censorship out of his mind. Shen Lin walked into the brokerage and found a broker, saying: "Take me to see the best house in your brokerage."
The broker was originally chatting and laughing with other people, but was suddenly pulled over. The tone was so loud, he thought someone was joking, and turned his head with a look of displeasure.
But when he saw Shen Lin's handsome face, he immediately knelt down with a thud.
"Master Shen, please spare me. My wife is only occasionally pleasing to the eye when she dresses up. Usually, she is unkempt and smells all over, and..."
Shen Lin looked black-lined and waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense! Didn't you hear what I said?"
The broker hesitated and stood up, tentatively saying: "Then my wife..."
"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll go to your house to live with you and your wife tonight!!!"
The broker shuddered and immediately jumped up.
A quarter of an hour later, the broker led Shen Lin to a luxurious mansion.
"Master Shen, this was originally the residence of Seventh Master Li, but recently Seventh Master went to the state capital to retire, so he put this mansion up for sale. It's no problem if you want to live here for a few days, but..."
The broker looked very embarrassed.
Who in the entire Hill Forest County didn't know Master Shen's character?
What he liked to do most was doing business without capital.
It wouldn't be a problem if he just borrowed the mansion for a few days, but if he lived there forever...
Shen Lin didn't care about his performance. Without saying a word, he walked straight in.
The mansion was not too big, covering less than half an acre, but the layout inside was extremely elegant.
After walking into the backyard and seeing a jade-stone bathtub in the house, Shen Lin asked directly without saying a word: "How much money?"
"Ah?"
The broker didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until Shen Lin frowned that he quickly replied: "Master Shen, although this mansion is not big, the decoration inside took a lot of thought... Seventh Master Li is asking for one thousand taels of silver."
Without much hesitation, Shen Lin directly took out the silver notes and said: "The money is for you. Send the relevant documents to the county yamen after you're done!"
"Don't have any crooked thoughts, otherwise, I'll make you serve me and your wife to bed!!!"
The broker looked bitter and quickly shook his head, saying: "I wouldn't dare to fool you, Master Shen."
Master Shen was rich, which didn't surprise the broker too much.
After all, now, who didn't know that this master had achieved great martial arts and killed a demon alive.
No matter how he killed the demon, the reward from the Demon Suppression Division would not be small.
What surprised him was that Master Shen was actually willing to spend money...
After driving away the broker, Shen Lin looked around the yard with satisfaction. After putting down his things, he went out again.
When he came back with a pile of medicinal materials, the setting sun was near dusk.
After putting all the medicinal materials that cost five hundred taels of silver into the large pot and starting to decoct them, he breathed a sigh of relief and rested for a while.
It would be best if there were servants to take care of these chores for him.
It's just that Shen Lin had many secrets and didn't dare to let strangers stay with him under the same roof.
Before long, the pungent medicinal smell of various medicinal materials mixed together slowly turned into a fragrance.
The heat was about right.
After pouring the decoction into the bathtub bucket by bucket, Shen Lin couldn't wait to rub his hands. He stripped naked and jumped straight into the bathtub.
Hopefully, this Green Hill Body Tempering Art can bring him some surprises!
System! Start deduction!
The bubbling bathtub gradually calmed down, and everything around became very quiet.
Just as Shen Lin was about to enter that special state, he suddenly heard a soft sound, and a figure jumped in from the window.
The man looked relaxed, as if he had returned to his own home.
If it weren't for the night clothes he was wearing, Shen Lin would have suspected that this dog-mothering broker had sold the house twice.
The next moment, the man's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he stared blankly at Shen Lin, who was naked and taking a bath.
At the moment when the two people looked at each other, time stood still, and the system began to deduce.
