The process of dealing with the corpses went smoothly, and this time there was no Corpse Transformation like last time.
After finishing, Wei Fan turned to leave.
At this moment, the villagers surrounded him, pleading, "Night Watcher, please save us! The White Ghost has appeared for several days in a row."
"Yes, it used to appear only once every few months or half a year, but now everyone is terrified all night. We really have no choice!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
As more than a dozen villagers spoke, they covered their faces and wept, kneeling one after another.
"You don't need to do this. Get up!" Wei Fan shouted.
The crowd was stunned by Wei Fan's aura and fell silent.
"I will personally deal with the matter of the White Ghost!" Wei Fan promised.
Even if the appearance of the White Ghost Soul was tacitly approved by some big figures in the Inner Circle.
But, so what?
Now that he had achieved Extreme Breakthrough in the Three Yuan Battle Art, Wei Fan had the confidence to challenge the big figures of Wushan Village.
Seeing Wei Fan agree, a faint light of hope rekindled in the villagers' eyes.
Wei Fan didn't linger and turned to leave.
"Brother, you're finally back!"
Before he even entered the courtyard, Wei Yingying's surprised voice rang out.
She rushed into Wei Fan's arms like a little beast.
"Brother, why are you so much later than yesterday?" Wei Yingying asked worriedly.
"Something came up on the way and it delayed me a bit." Wei Fan smiled and patted her head. "Alright, let's eat first!"
"Okay! Today we're having beef buns and hot goat milk." Wei Yingying smiled.
"So lavish? Gulp." Wei Fan swallowed.
Then the two began to enjoy their breakfast.
It had to be said that after becoming a Night Watcher, their living standards had improved dramatically.
After eating, Wei Fan took a shower and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, it was noon.
Shi Meng's figure appeared at the courtyard entrance, looking full of energy.
The bodies of martial artists were relatively strong, and they could recover to peak condition with very little sleep.
"Xiao Fan, the promotion to Vice Captain is all set!"
Shi Meng threw a package at him. "This is the Vice Captain's uniform, along with the Little Flame Talisman and the Sharp Blade Talisman."
Wei Fan took the package and said calmly, "You said that after becoming Vice Captain, I could learn more cultivation techniques. Where can I learn them?"
"Hahaha, you're such a martial arts fanatic. At the North District Night Watch Outpost, there are many cultivation techniques stored there."
Shi Meng laughed. "If you're eager to see them, I can take you to choose some Vice Captain level techniques right now!"
"Okay!" Wei Fan nodded.
Cultivation techniques that were difficult for others to get started with were very simple for Wei Fan.
One more cultivation technique meant one more step towards greater strength.
He handed the uniform to Wei Yingying to wash, and Wei Fan followed Shi Meng to the North District Outpost.
"Xiao Fan, you'll be the Vice Captain of the South District from now on. I'll assign you some team members later," Shi Meng said on the way.
In the east, west, south, and north districts, the Vice Captains of the West and South Districts were originally the Zhao Hu and Zhao Long brothers.
Since they had sacrificed themselves, those positions became vacant.
The East District was commanded by Shi Meng, and the North District was guarded by Captain Lu Qingshan.
"What about the vacant West District?" Wei Fan asked.
"The West District will be guarded by a strong individual from the Zhu Family who is in the Blood Rage Realm," Shi Meng replied.
Hearing this, Wei Fan nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, the two arrived at the North District Outpost.
The buildings here were clearly much grander than those in the East District. Upon entering the main gate, there was a spacious hall.
To Wei Fan's surprise, Lu Qingshan was sitting on the main seat with a swagger, as if nothing had happened.
Yet, the poison from the Puppet Demon Spider last night had almost corroded his right leg.
To have recovered completely overnight was truly incredible.
It seemed that Lu Qingshan could tell Wei Fan was hesitant, so he stood up and chuckled, "The Talisman Master healed me! Of course, it wasn't without a price."
Wei Fan hadn't expected that a Talisman Master would have such an ability, to heal wounds completely overnight.
This phenomenon once again refreshed Wei Fan's understanding of this world.
"It seems Wushan Village hides many secrets I don't know yet!" Wei Fan thought to himself.
"I was stabbed by that Puppet Demon Spider last night. It was you who stepped in and killed it at the critical moment, otherwise, my injuries would have been even more troublesome."
Lu Qingshan looked at Wei Fan seriously. "You saved my life, and I, Lu Qingshan, owe you a favor!"
"Captain Lu also risked his life for the village, so it was only right for me to step in and help. There's no need to be so formal."
Wei Fan smiled.
"Hahaha, a hero emerges from the youth. When I was your age, I was still in the Strength Training Realm."
Lu Qingshan looked at Wei Fan, his eyes unable to hide his admiration.
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you've already mastered the complete Three Yuan Battle Art and reached the Divine Strength Realm."
Lu Qingshan then sighed, "If I had known you were so talented, I would have taught you the enhanced version of the Three Yuan Battle Art. But martial arts cultivation cannot be easily changed; it doesn't allow for even the slightest deviation. Minor deviations can lead to qi deviation, and severe ones can result in shattered bones. What a shame!"
"Once a move is made, there's no turning back. How can someone destined to soar be held back by a single martial art?" Wei Fan said seriously.
Even the modified Three Yuan Battle Art only had five qi circulation nodes.
After Wei Fan's Extreme Breakthrough of the Three Yuan Battle Art, he had a total of twelve qi circulation nodes throughout his body.
If Lu Qingshan knew this, he would probably be utterly shocked.
