Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 344: Chapter 140 Huang Wan’er: Mr. Chen, Want to Play Something Thrilling?_5

Chen Jie upon hearing this said, ”Rest assured, you could ask me to practice and I wouldn’t do it. However, having a look at Mystic Ice Power is still good, at the very least to know both the enemy and myself, for then no battle is imperiled.”

Once he understood the strength and fighting techniques of Mystic Ice Power, and with all sorts of information, he could be twice as efficient in dealing with Nan Batian and avenging his adoptive father in the future.

Huang Wan’er, seeing Chen Jie’s promise, said, ”Alright, since you’ve agreed to my conditions, I’ll make a concession too. Four times, four times, I’ll steal it for you.”

Chen Jie replied with generosity, ”Five times, I don’t care about that one extra.”

”Hehe, Grandpa Chen is so generous.”

Huang Wan’er cheekily smiled.

Chen Jie seeing Huang Wan’er like this, added, ”That is, if it’s dangerous, don’t steal it.”

Huang Wan’er looked at Chen Jie and laughed, ”No problem, he won’t kill me. Even if I’m caught, at worst I’ll just get a few more lashes, hehe, it’s nothing.”

Chen Jie upon hearing this, thought of the whip marks on her back. Those whippings were no joke; each lash was a pain to the bone. A few extra lashes was such a terrifying punishment, especially for a delicate woman.

He didn’t know if it was a feeling of tenderness for the fair sex, he just felt a fluttering in his heart.

He got dressed, took the Spirit Transformation Grass from the table, and said to Huang Wan’er, ”Take care.”

”You too.”

Then he swiftly climbed through the window and quickly disappeared from sight.

Huang Wan’er watched Chen Jie’s departing figure, slightly in a daze, especially as she saw the large sun rising at the horizon.

”After Nan Batian dies, what should I do? Hehe... Yeah, what should I do?”

...

Chen Jie left Jixiang Temple and traveled south until he reached the small town where he had rested last time, the same bathhouse.

Soaking in the bath, Chen Jie pondered, ”For the Spirit Transformation Pill, there are three main ingredients in total. Now that I have found two, Absolute Spirit Seed and Spirit Transformation Grass, only the five-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma is left.”

Where to find this Blood Ganoderma?

Also, the thirty-six kinds of auxiliary medicines in the city also had to be moved out.

So what he should do next is to find a way to get the five-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma and then move the auxiliary medicines out of the city.

Thinking about moving the auxiliary medicines out of the city, Chen Jie thought of Wu Hong, with Wu Hong’s network it shouldn’t be difficult to get them out of the city without involving any guilds. They should have a hard time tracing it.

As for the Blood Ganoderma,

Chen Jie fell into deep thought. Now, all his hopes were on the intelligence System. Today, he had set the fifth piece of refreshed intelligence at midnight on this Blood Ganoderma, hoping to get related information.

Chen Jie covered his face with a towel, not knowing why but suddenly thinking of the fortune-telling by the old blind man the day before.

The old blind man had cast three trigrams for him.

The first trigram was ”He who claims the world, Chen, pig, and salt.”

The second trigram was ”If you encounter an alley, do not enter; if you encounter water, you will thrive.”

The third trigram was ”Seek in vain, look back to the road by which you came.”

The first trigram corresponded to his destiny, which indicated that he was of inestimable nobility, nearly as exalted as Master Jiu Wu, and that he gambled with the world, casting three sticks.

That is, he corresponded to ”Chen,” the pig corresponded to Zhu Chongba, and ”salt” corresponded to the private salt trafficker, Zhang Jiusi.

That was the first trigram.

The second trigram referred to his own trap and escape; when fleeing, following the sound of water led him to a sliver of life.

What about the third trigram?

What did it represent?

”Seeking in vain,” did it refer to a person or to a thing?

Speaking of people, he didn’t seem to have anyone he wanted to find, so it was likely a thing, and if it was a thing, was this trigram supposed to be related to the Blood Ganoderma?

”Seek in vain, look back to the road by which you came.”

Chen Jie mused over this phrase. What was the road by which he came?

Thinking about it, he realized that when he awoke, it was Xiantao Town, Xiantao Village. His road back was Xiantao Village. Xiantao Village, Blood Ganoderma.

Uncle Zhong?

Chen Jie thought of Uncle Zhong.

If there was anyone related to the Blood Ganoderma, it had to be Uncle Zhong, because only Uncle Zhong ever acquired Blood Ganoderma, and it was within the Grey Mist.

Wait a minute!

Grey Mist!

Chen Jie’s eyes brightened. What exactly was this Grey Mist?

Was it like what he imagined?

Indeed, he never asked Uncle Zhong what was inside the Grey Mist.

”To look back to the road by which you came,” yes, he had never thought about what was along the road by which he came.

With this thought in mind, Chen Jie removed the towel from his face, got up, put on his clothes, and went to buy a bamboo hat from the hat stand at the entrance.

Not to mention that heroes of Jianghu liked to wear hats, indeed, it can hide one’s face and is suitable for both farmers and fishermen, a good thing for remaining inconspicuous.

Too bad he hadn’t learned Ni Wenjun’s Disguise Technique. If he had, he could have been much more at ease.

However, before that, he should figure out a way to notify Wu Hong and have him figure out how to take the thirty-six types of auxiliary medicines out.

But who to send the message through?

Chen Jie pondered, then suddenly saw a group passing by in the distance. Recognizing them, his eyes lit up.

Someone he knew, whom he’d met once before.

It was Sun Bu’er’s eldest son, currently the Manager of Guild Cao. The last time he was at Yihong House, it was he who captured Zhou Chu and brought him back.

Chen Jie then lowered his bamboo hat and strode toward Sun Bu’er’s eldest son.

This man was originally drinking with a few others when he saw a man with a bamboo hat approaching and was momentarily stunned. But before he could react, Chen Jie unexpectedly launched a palm strike towards him!

Sun Bu’er’s eldest son was startled, quickly responding with a palm strike of his own.

With a ’pap!’, their palms collided.

Immediately afterward, Chen Jie turned and walked away.
