Trading in the dark is often more efficient than trading under the sun.

The next day, after Deng Qing provided more than a dozen drops of blood, the promised resources were quickly fulfilled.

Ten Great Fortune Pill, five Azure Fish Pill, and one Cultivation Room usage voucher.

This was just a reward from Command Center. Deployment Office also gave him five hundred Merit Voucher as a reward for his achievements in ranking first in the Inspector exam, killing Lingbiao Squad along the way, and bringing back all the members.

As for Jian Ruyu's credit for nailing Vein Dragon's dragon's tail, Deployment Office took most of it, and the reward that should have been issued can only be temporarily given to Martial Dao Institute.

After the transaction was completed, Deng Qing returned to the camp, counted Medicinal Pills one by one, and then counted the Merit Voucher again, feeling quite happy.

He felt that he had saved some money this time.

While he was thinking about how to use these resources, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.

"Brother Deng, are you here? We're coming in!"

"Brother Deng, we are here."

Deng Qing just stuffed Medicinal Pills, Merit Voucher into the quilt, and then the curtain was opened, Lin Li Long Xiu Chen Hong Su Yun and others walked in one after another. The injuries on their bodies were not healed yet, but their spirits were fully restored.

Deng Qing stood up and greeted everyone.

Long Xiu handed it over first and said, "I have never had time before, but today I can finally thank Brother Deng in person. I am able to come back alive this time, all thanks to Brother Deng's hard work."

Su Yun also said, "Especially for me, I have a broken leg. If I don't have Brother Deng to take care of me, I won't be able to recover."

Several other people agreed.

Deng Qing handed over their hands, "You guys are serious, we have fought side by side, and you are talking about what to do. Come, sit down and talk, there are not enough stools, let's sit on the floor."

Everyone sat down, but Chen Hong did not sit down.

He took out a Merit Voucher from his arms and handed it to Deng Qing, "I don't like to owe favors to others in my life. This hundred Merit Voucher is naturally not worth saving my life, but it can be regarded as Chen's kindness."

Deng Qing's eyes lit up, "Brother Chen is so awesome!"

With that said, he reached out to get it.

Chen Hong's face suddenly changed, and he retracted his wrist and took Merit Voucher back.

Deng Qing caught the opportunity, looked at him and said, "What do you mean by this?" Chen Hong felt unlucky in his heart.

I was just trying to be polite, why are you so rude?

Ordinarily, shouldn't we say no at this moment?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to cough dryly and said, "I thought about it again, this is not appropriate."

Deng Qing said, "What's inappropriate?"

Chen Hong said, "I'm just afraid that you might misunderstand me and think I'm holding the donkey for you, as if we are deliberately cooperating and urging everyone to pay Merit Voucher."

Long Xiu immediately waved his hand, "We will never think so. Brother Chen is overly worried."

"Exactly. I can't thank you enough for saving my life."

"Brother Chen, take care of it yourself, we will never misunderstand you."

Everyone said something to me, but no one was willing to pass the steps.

Chen Hong stuffed Merit Voucher into his arms and waved his hands repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I remembered that I still have something to do. Let's talk for now. See you later, see you later."

After that, he opened the curtain and left, and laughter suddenly erupted in the tent. Everyone laughed for a while, talked for a while, and then left.

Lin Li stayed until the end and whispered, "I heard that Brother Deng is going to take the entrance examination, so I would like to say congratulations first."

Deng Qing handed over his hand, "It's still early."

Lin Li said, "My eldest brother will also attend. His name is Lin Hui. If we meet him, I hope Brother Deng will take care of him."

"Too serious."

Deng Qing smiled and said, "With my little ability, I don't know where I will be ranked when I get to Martial Dao Institute. If we meet by chance, we will just take care of each other. Maybe I will have to let my brother take care of me."

Lin Li waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense. I have met many people who claim to be geniuses. So far, none of them have surpassed you. Brother Deng, you are definitely going to rise to the top."

After saying that, he solemnly handed over his hands and turned around to leave the camp.

Deng Qing sat alone for a while, recalling what everyone had just said, and gradually figured out some meaning.

Judging from the expressions on these people's faces, they don't seem to know that it is themselves who pin Wasteland Veins.

After thinking about it again, he understood.

This kind of thing will only be suppressed by the higher-ups, and will not be publicized everywhere. I am afraid that Lin Li and others may not even understand why they were called for questioning until now.

Deng Qing shook his head, stopped thinking about this, got up and packed his luggage.

Cultivation Room's certificate has been obtained, and it is just in time to move there, so it will be convenient for practicing in the future.

He had just put a few Medicine Box away when the wooden sign outside the tent was suddenly knocked.

"Please come in."

The curtain opened and Xia Daoyu walked in.

Deng Qing couldn't help but be startled. He saw that Xia Daoyu's face was gray and his eyes were bloodshot. He forced a smile after entering the door and looked quite haggard.

Deng Qing stood up and raised his hands, "I've seen Deacon Xia, do you have any instructions?"

Xia Daoyu waved his hand, "Don't be polite to me. Although the outside world doesn't know what happened, I know a little bit about it. If it weren't for you this time, we Deployment Office would have been humiliated.

I came here just to ask and see if you still have any shortcomings. Whatever you need, tell me in time."

Deng Qing's thoughts moved slightly.

Xia Daoyu was in charge of welcoming and sending people to and from the camp. Huang Bingyao came first and Feng Xiuquan came last, but they couldn't hide it from his eyes. It was not surprising that he could guess something based on this.

"I don't need anything. Deacon Xia is too polite."

"Still called a deacon?"

Xia Daoyu said, "If you think highly of me, just call me Brother Xia." Deng Qing had a sudden thought and suddenly guessed something. He immediately followed suit and called out "Brother Xia".

Xia Daoyu said, "I admire you very much because I have great talent and can enter Elder Jian's Dharma Eyes.

I have been working at Martial Dao Lower Court for a long time, and I have never seen her show particular favor to any of her juniors. Your brother is really an anomaly."

Deng Qing said with a smile, "Brother Xia is too complimentary, but it's just the elders who take care of you.

Brother Xia, is there something wrong? Although I haven't been here for a long time, Brother Xia is responsible for all matters in the camp and arranges them in an orderly manner. I admire this ability.

Besides, thanks to Brother Xia's care, I have saved myself a lot of trouble. If you have anything to say, just say it. If I can help, I won't hesitate to say anything."

Xia Daoyu was waiting for this sentence, "My dear brother is happy, so I won't go around in circles."

He sighed and lowered his voice, "I seem to hate Elder Jian. If there is a chance in the future, I hope that my dear brother will say a few more kind words for me in front of the elders."

It turned out that Xia Daoyu accepted Huang Bingyao's favor and notified him to ask for a meeting. He thought it was just a favor, but unexpectedly Huang Bingyao was beaten until he vomited blood, and he was also scolded by Jian Ruyu.

Especially the sentence that told him to go down to the Martial Arts Hall to work on errands made him even more frightened.

This night, Xia Daoyu could not find a place to stay.

It took a lot of effort for him to get to where he is today. If he were really sent away, wouldn't the world collapse?

After thinking about it, the only person who can speak for him in front of Jian Ruyu and is willing to help is Deng Qing.

Deng Qing nodded and said, "Brother Xia, don't worry, if there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely speak for you in front of the elders."

Xia Daoyu was overjoyed and repeatedly handed over his hand, "Thank you so much, dear brother."

Deng Qing was waiting for a few polite words when Xia Daoyu suddenly pointed to the corner and said, "Those are my brother's trophies, right?"

There was a bundle of knives and guns and a large bundle piled there.

Deng Qing nodded.

Xia Daoyu said, "I think it's very hard for me to carry it back and forth. If you trust me, I will find someone to collect it for me. I will sell what should be sold and what should be exchanged, so that you don't have to carry it with you all the time."

Deng Qing was overjoyed. He was worried about these things. Although he couldn't bear to throw them away, it was really cumbersome to carry them around.

He was just thinking about moving to Cultivation Room.

Xia Daoyu's words solved his urgent need.

Deng Qing raised his hands and said, "If you can't believe this, I'll bother you, Brother Xia."

Xia Daoyu waved his hand, "You're still polite to me. Do you want to exchange it for money or some Medicinal Pills?"

Deng Qing said, "Brother Xia will take care of it, I can trust him."

Xia Daoyu nodded heavily, "Okay, I will not disappoint my dear brother. I will make arrangements right away."

After that, he stood up to say goodbye. When he left the tent, his steps were brisk.

Not long after Xia Daoyu left, a thin middle-aged man came over, followed by two handymen.

The middle-aged man was wearing a green robe and looked like a cashier.

After entering the account, he first nodded and saluted Deng Qing, "At the command of Deacon Xia, I'm here to check the items for you."

Deng Qing pointed out the weapons and baggage in the corner to him. The middle-aged man took out Charcoal Pencil and the paper, squatted down, fiddled with it for a while, stood up, and handed Deng Qing a memorized deposit slip, "Please take a look."

Deng Qing looked at it again, nodded and said, "Correct."

The middle-aged man then called two handymen, gathered the things and carried them away, and left a receipt for Deng Qing.

Without these burdens, Deng Qing is much easier to pack.

He put away Medicinal Pills, Merit Voucher and other belongings, took his luggage, left the camp, and went straight to Cultivation Room.

Cultivation Room is located in a piece of Dense Forest three hundred feet away from the Deployment Office camp. After walking through the forest path, you can see a small house standing at the foot of the mountain. There is someone on duty in the small house.

Deng Qing Go in and hand in your voucher.

The old man sitting inside checked the voucher, opened the book and registered his name, then took out a key and led him back.

I saw a row of stone doors on Mountain Wall at the rear, with numbers on each door.

The old man led him to one of the doors, unlocked it, pushed the door open and said, "This is it. Keep the key. If you need anything, come to me in front."

Deng Qing Thank you, and the old man left.

Deng Qing Entering, I saw a spacious stone room inside. The stone room was quite cool, with a large flat stone floor in the center, enough for exercise, and two futons placed against the wall.

Apart from this, there is a large vat standing next to the east wall, which contains most of the clear mountain spring water. In addition, there is nothing else.

The furnishings are so simple, but they are very suitable for Deng Qing.

There is a place to sleep here, a place to practice, and even drinking water is prepared, what more do you ask for?

At that moment, he put his luggage on the futon, packed it for a while, then locked the door and went out.

He still remembers Zhang Yan.

I asked Jian Ruyu before and the deployment process is already going through, but I don't know when Zhang Yan will be here.

He was also afraid that Zhang Yan would not know that he had moved here, so he decided to go back to the camp and wait.

Deng Qing returned to the camp, but instead of waiting for Zhang Yan, a reward officer from Command Center arrived.

After Xia Daoyu led the reward officer into the camp, Xia Daoyu left.

After the merit officer checked Deng Qing's name, he took out a dog-shaped jade pendant from the box, put it on the table, and said, "Put a drop of blood on it."

Deng Qing complied. The blood drops fell on the jade pendant and soon seeped into it, followed by a shimmer on the jade pendant.

The reward officer nodded, and asked Deng Qing to take out the original Feathered Forest Guard jade pendant, put it in the box, and gave him the dog-shaped jade pendant in exchange.

At the end, the merit-rewarding officer bowed his hand and left.

Deng Qing held the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, turned it over and looked at it several times, and thought to himself, this is my official certificate.

While he was playing with it, there was another movement outside the tent.

Deng Qing put the jade pendant into his arms, and then opened the curtain. Xia Daoyu left and returned, "My dear brother, congratulations."

Deng Qing smiled and held his hand.

Xia Daoyu Seeing that Deng Qing didn't elaborate, he stopped mentioning the merit officer's visit and instead took out a piece of paper and said, "Everything has been replaced. Here are the details. You can check the list one by one to see if there are any mistakes."

With that said, he put the Silver Note he had redeemed on the table.

Deng Qing took the details, took out the receipt left before, and checked them item by item.

Behind each item, the exchange price was written, and the quantities corresponded one by one. "That's right, please bother Brother Xia." When he saw the final total, his eyebrows raised, three thousand two hundred and fifty-three taels.

He was very satisfied with this amount. In addition to the more than one thousand taels of Silver Note that he had collected separately, the amount of silver he had obtained after this battle was nearly five thousand taels.

Not to mention, some of the precious Medicinal Pills was collected by him in advance.

Xia Daoyu sat for a while and then said goodbye. He hoped Deng Qing would not forget to put in a good word for him.

Xia Daoyu left only after Deng Qing promised again.

Deng Qing waited for another half an hour, but still didn't see Zhang Yan, so he planned to go back to Cultivation Room to practice.

Unexpectedly, he opened the curtain and a servant came to report that someone was looking for him at the door.

Deng Qing felt happy, quickened his pace, and rushed to the door, only to see a strange man standing there.

The man asked Deng Qing's identity, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, "Zhang Yan asked me to send it."

After handing over the letter, the man said goodbye and left.

Deng Qing opened the letter, and it was indeed written by Zhang Yan. The content was only a few lines, "Junior brother, I am very grateful for the transfer. But I have made great achievements this time, so I won't come. Deployment Office, don't worry. Master seems to have a sign of breakthrough, and you and I will be needed to protect the law. You should hurry up and practice, make preparations in advance, and wait for the summons."

Deng Qing After reading this, I finally feel relieved.

Senior Brother Nothing happened, and he got benefits. Master will make a breakthrough again, which is good news. He put the letter away and went straight to Mountain Wall the stone room.

He lit up the Oil Lamp on the wall, sat cross-legged on the futon, and lined up ten Great Fortune Pill and five Azure Fish Pill in front of him.

He looked at these pills again and again, and wanted to swallow them several times, but then he thought, "We can't just use them like this."

If you use these Medicinal Pills to support your daily practice and eat them one by one, your progress will naturally not be slow. It won't take long before you can eat everything.

Good steel must be used on the blade.

On weekdays, use Wasteland Blood as a base, and when the level is broken, use Medicinal Pills to boost it, it will be more cost-effective."

With the idea settled, Deng Qing closed the medicine box, put the things away, and took a good sleep.

Early the next morning, he left Cultivation Room and rushed to Horse Stables to report.

Horse Farm Deacon Zhang Dahe is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a round face and short beard, and he speaks very warmly.

After checking the dispatched documents, he led Deng Qing inside.

The entire Horse Farm is surrounded by a thick wooden fence, and inside is a row of spacious stables with stone troughs inside.

Several handymen were carrying buckets to add water to the trough. They moved very gently, as if they were afraid of disturbing the Strange Horse. "This is the north shed. There are a total of eighteen Strange Horse."

Zhang Dahe introduced as he walked, "Every day, horse feed is brought specially, and handymen are also doing all the chores. On weekdays, as long as you keep an eye on these ancestors and don't let them cause trouble."

As the two passed by a fence, a black-maned Strange Horse suddenly raised its head and blew out a breath of hot air at them.

This horse's shoulders and back are much higher than those of ordinary horses, its neck is thick, its back and abdomen are scaly, and its lips turn up, revealing a row of sharp white fangs.

It took a step forward, and the chain tied around its neck tightened immediately, making the thick wooden stake creak.

The handyman carrying water nearby also quickly backed away.

Zhang Dahe pulled Deng Qing, "Stay away. These things are very angry. If you annoy them, they will really bite."

Deng Qing thought to himself, bite someone? Are you trying to steal food from me, how dare you get angry?

Zhang Dahe took Deng Qing around in a circle, and then the conversation came back, "Where did I work as a errand before? Look at your body and bones, you must be capable. Now there is a shortage of people in the front, why are you transferred to feed the horses?"

Deng Qing smiled and said, "I know Brother Zhang is curious, and I won't hide it from you. I'm afraid of death, so I spent money and lost connections to come here to avoid a big fight."

Zhang Dahe paused on his feet and gave a thumbs up, "Happy brother! Don't hide it from me, I just like a bold man like you."

Deng Qing said, "I have to ask Brother Zhang to take care of me in the future." As he said that, he handed over a Silver Note.

Zhang Dahe was secretly surprised when he scanned the ticket amount.

Twelve!

This guy is so generous.

He didn't show it on his face, he just took it casually and put it into his sleeves, "It's easy to say, easy to say. From now on, you can do whatever you want and watch. If you don't want to do it, just rest. There are servants here, so there is no need for you to do everything yourself."

Deng Qing waved his hands and said, "Although I'm here to put on a show, I still have to go through the process."

Zhang Dahe Inexplicable.

Deng Qing said, "To be honest, Brother Zhang, I also have an enemy. That guy has made it known that he will come over specifically when the horses are being fed to see if I am on duty. If you don't see me feeding the horses, you will make trouble up top."

Zhang Dahe shook his head when he heard this, "This man is quite poisonous! When he was feeding the horses, the smell was so strong that even I didn't dare to get close."

Deng Qing sighed, "There is nothing I can do. I am afraid of death and suffering, so my life will be miserable."

Zhang Dahe laughed loudly, "What I said is so true!"

Deng Qing said again, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I have a family heirloom Internal Breath Circulation Method, I have to get through it." Zhang Dahe patted his shoulder, "Brother, I feel relieved now that I know this. You can stay at Horse Farm with peace of mind, I won't tire you."

The two of them went around again, and Deng Qing basically understood the situation in Beipeng.

At this time, someone in the small room on the sidelines suddenly shouted, "Open the cup, open the cup!"

Zhang Dahe waved his hand to Deng Qing, "You take a look for yourself first, I'll go over there."

After saying that, he hurried over.

Deng Qing didn't care either, wandering around Horse Farm alone, waiting for horse feed to be delivered.

After waiting for more than an hour, a strange smell came wafting in the wind.

Deng Qing is certain in his heart.

Soon, a dozen handymen pushing carts entered Horse Farm one after another.

The wheels ran over the ditch on the ground, causing the objects on the car to shake. The handymen pushed the car to the shed and went back to transport it, delivering two batches in front of them.

Most of the cars were filled with minced meat and bones, but the other six cars were sealed tightly with Lacquer Tree Membrane, but there was still a strange smell wafting out.

Deng Qing can see it clearly, Wasteland Beast Offal, it's unmistakable.
