Chapter 14 - 13 Acquiring the Stone-Throwing Skill, That Damn Old Swine Dog
Moments later, Lin Xuankong moved the bodies of Ma Xiong and the others into the depths of the forest and meticulously cleaned up the birdcages and other traces of evidence by the roadside.
Deep in the forest, there was indeed a freshly dug pit.
Unfortunately, the pit was somewhat small and insufficient for the task. Originally, it was intended for one person; trying to fit six people in it was impossible!
So, he had no choice but to use the shovel belonging to Han Si, the Black Tiger Gang member, to enlarge the pit a bit.
After burying the six bodies, Lin Xuankong stood by the dirt mound and gathered the items he had found on them.
There were over sixty silver taels in total, mostly from Ma Xiong.
There were also four Hundred-refined Steel Sabers, each worth about eight or nine silver taels, totaling over thirty taels.
What intrigued Lin Xuankong the most was a manual titled "Stone-Throwing Skill" found on Hu Lin. It wasn’t a Martial Dao Technique, but rather a training guide for projecting Flying Locust Stones. The Stone-Throwing Skill! During the earlier battle, Hu Lin’s stone-throwing technique left a deep impression on me!
He was certain that if Hu Lin’s elder brother had also known how to use Flying Locust Stones and hadn’t been killed early on, the two brothers using the Stone-Throwing Skill together would have definitely put him at a disadvantage.
After all, the gap between Mid-grade and Early Stage of a cultivation layer isn’t insurmountable. No matter how strong the Spiritual Crane Finger is, it can’t withstand two experts in concealed weapons! Now that this exquisite Stone-Throwing Skill is in my hands, I can properly cultivate it!
Looking at these gains, Lin Xuankong felt somewhat emotional. After being ambushed and then counter-killing his attackers, the silver and treasures he obtained could probably equal more than ten years of selling flatcakes—wealth indeed comes with risk.
At least, I won’t have to worry about the cost of Nine Revolutions Qi Replenishing Soup for the short term!
