Chapter 170: Reputation Rises in Sanhe Commandery
Wangchuan had the Snake Elder’s corpse salvaged from the river.
After soaking for over an hour, the body had swollen slightly.
The Snake Elder’s back had been hunched in life, yet in death his frame seemed oddly more relaxed. Wangchuan peeled back the many layers of clothing and found quite a few valuables hidden within.
A money pouch containing three gold notes worth one hundred taels each, and four ten-tael gold notes.
A deerskin pouch filled with strange, pungent powders.
A small lidded tripod, heavy and solid, faintly fragrant, wrapped carefully in silk and clearly precious.
Five Poison Cauldron: Green-grade (Durability 100/100)
Equipment crafted from Five Poison Yin-Yang Wood. When placed in an open outdoor area, it emits a scent that attracts venomous insects, with a certain chance of drawing highly poisonous creatures.
Remember to wrap it before sleeping! Never place it by your bedside—you would not want something crawling over you in search of a place to bite.
