Chapter 52 The Meal Tickets for the Flowing Banquet, Acquaintances in Moon Bay
"It seems that every map has a demon lord protecting it."
"And every time a new storyline begins, they give me a taste of their own medicine."
Li Qingchen planned to use his remaining lives to scout ahead and continue gathering intelligence.
Instead of wandering around, you chose to head straight to the dye shop.
You pretend to be selecting fabrics, but actually observe them secretly.
The owner of the dye shop warmly welcomed you, saying she was going to prepare the dyes and asked you to have a seat for a while.
You sit obediently and wait.
You suddenly feel dizzy and lightheaded.
You discover that the blood in your body has been gradually drained away without you even realizing it.
At this moment, the owner of the dye shop, carrying a basin of red dye, walks enthusiastically towards you.
"Sir, are you satisfied with this color?"
Suddenly, everything went black.
Swordsman, you are dead!
Li Qingchen: "..."
A death that is both unexpected and impossible to prevent.
"continue."
[Swordsman, learn your lesson and prepare to head to the gambling den...]
……
Now, let's talk about the other side.
At the foot of the mountain, beside the stream.
Xu Hu, Chu Luohua, Liu Luyang, and Shi Nu.
And... Lin Bufan, who had just finished dealing with the affairs of Liaocheng, arrived.
The five people gathered together.
After listening to Xu Hu recount the fierce battle, Lin Bufan was just as shocked as the other four.
Back then, when Li Qingchen fought the fox demon alone, he was still somewhat strained.
Later on, it could instantly kill the dog demon and destroy Roshan.
I thought the rate at which this realm was growing was already ridiculously fast.
But now he can easily kill the third-tier demon general, Greedy One, all by himself!
"Is this what the Heavenly Warriors are like? They are truly beings that shatter one's Dao heart," Chu Luohua joked.
"Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but their rescue techniques are also exceptionally advanced."
The stone woman covered her arm, which had fully recovered, and remained silent.
The method that allows flesh and blood to regenerate likely originated from a sacred sect of immortals.
"Such a prodigy, if those powerful demons were to learn of his existence, it would likely trigger a targeted attack."
Xu Hu said, "Therefore, we must report this matter to the General immediately and ask him to send someone to protect him."
Whether he agrees or not.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Liu Luyang asked.
"After we've rested, we'll continue dealing with the surrounding demons," Xu Hu said. "Also, we should inquire with those martial arts sects and immortal clans—especially the long-established ones—to find out exactly what the Imperial Preceptor meant by the 'lawless land.'"
"A lawless place? What's that?" Liu Luyang asked curiously. "I've only ever heard of places where people die without a burial place."
"I don't know either. I heard that even the Imperial Advisor doesn't know, which is why he sent us from the Demon Slayer Division to find out," Xu Hu said.
"I've heard that it's a sacred place for cultivation, comparable to a blessed land. Those who manage to survive there will eventually become great villains in the world."

[Swordsman, you've encountered a mobile kitchen. The enthusiastic butcher suddenly announces that today's ingredients will be taken from you.]
You've been devoured by the greedy diners around you!
You are dead!
Ugh, I died again. This map is incredibly difficult.
"Wait, since they have such good appetites, why not give them some extra seasoning?"
[Swordsman, you have returned to Mount TuTu through the fragments of the void.]
[The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
You have encountered a corpse with purple eyes, an avatar of the evil spirit King Zhenjun. It carries a virus of fear, which even birds, insects, and beasts dare not approach.
[You, relying on your immunity to all poisons, approached the corpse.]
【Take out the Elixir-Swallowing and Immortal-Brewing Gourd and collect these pathogens.】
[Swordsman, you've returned to Moon Bay through the Void Fragment!]
"Now all I need to think about is how to poison them," Li Qingchen thought to himself.
This time, however, the Strong Luck talent was triggered again as soon as I arrived at Moon Bay.
[The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
While you were strolling around, you encountered an artist and his sister.
The brother and sister, to thank you for reuniting them, intend to give you some things.
[Hint: You have obtained the red dyed cloth from the dyeing workshop!]
[Red dyed cloth: impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire, covered with the spirits of the dead, making it perfect for clothing for ghost pets.]
"Ghost pet?"
Li Qingchen noticed this new thing.
"Ghost control techniques?"
"Does this game allow you to turn ghosts into your pets?"
"If you can raise ghost pets in games, can't you bring them into real life too?"
Li Qingchen thought this idea was worth a try!
[Hint: You've obtained a portable kitchen butcher's knife!]
You can summon a master craftsman to fuse a butcher's knife into your Myriad Magic Sword, which will increase the sword's sharpness.
[Hint: You've received a meal ticket for the portable kitchen!]
The mobile kitchen is hosting a grand banquet soon, and this meal ticket will allow you free entry.
[Hint: You have obtained the embroidered shoes.]
Embroidered shoes can increase your movement speed, but they won't be very effective for someone with your light-footed skills.
……
……
The brother and sister gave quite a lot.
Li Qingchen took stock of everything and finally found that the most valuable item was the banquet ticket.
"If we can successfully poison the banquet, we might be able to wipe out this group of butchers in one fell swoop."
After saying goodbye to his siblings, Li Qingchen continued to explore the map of Moon Bay.
You're loitering in front of the landlord's house when the lackey at the gate takes a liking to you and tries to pick a fight. You quickly slip away.
"Damn it, you dog landlord, I'll hang you from a tree sooner or later."
You are resting in a grassy area when a pair of blood-red eyes startle you in the darkness. Terrified, you immediately flee.
You arrived at the alleyway. There were many women queuing to buy perfume today. After waiting a while, you got bored and turned to leave.
Li Qingchen moved to another location.
[The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
You're strolling along a small river in Moon Bay, and what a coincidence! You run into one—no, two—acquaintances.
The young master was delighted to see you; the secret agents of the Fish and Dragon Bureau behind him were slightly surprised by your presence.
"Oh? You can do that?"
The young master said he lost all his gambling money in the blood-red town and had no choice but to return to his hometown.
"Gamblers end up with nothing."
Li Qingchen sighed.
The young master has extended a gambling invitation to you with great delight, Swordsman, will you accept?
You accepted the invitation.
Similar to last time, your stake is your life. If you win, you will gain a favor from this young master.
[The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
You have won the bet.
Li Qingchen was a little confused.
He was all set to outwit the young master, but the game's text, barely two lines long, declared his victory...
