After settling Mrs. Wei and her son at Ma Gu's residence, Lu Qing left.
There was nothing more he could help with.
As long as Mrs. Wei and her son stayed quietly in the house without drawing attention, there should be no major problems.
Mrs. Wei's health, having taken two drops of medicine liquid, would fully recover with time, no longer requiring his additional treatment.
Thus, Lu Qing left after his task was completed.
Walking home, Lu Qing felt a sense of relief.
Although this trip to the mountain had some mishaps, being able to repay his debt to the Wei Family was a good thing.
"Little Li, I really owe you for this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to handle that person behind us." Experience more content on empire
Lu Qing scratched the chin of Little Li, who was perched on his shoulder, making it comfortably squint its eyes.
At that moment, Little Li had turned off its invisibility, revealing its true form.
"Rawr~" Little Li roared proudly.
"I know, I know, I'll give you lots of fish when we get back," Lu Qing chuckled.
Upon receiving the promise, Little Li contentedly lay down on Lu Qing's shoulder.
Looking at Little Li's lazy demeanor, Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle.
Who would have thought that such an adorable creature could actually be a terrifying spiritual beast capable of easily slaying experts from the Internal Organ Realm?
Remembering the overwhelming aura Wang Qingshan emitted just before his death, Lu Qing still felt a bit shocked.
Yet such a formidable martial artist appeared weak in front of Little Li.
With its invisibility talent and astounding speed, coupled with its unbreakable claws, Little Li was truly fearsome.
Even Internal Organ Realm experts could hardly withstand a single blow from it.
After all, though the bodies of Internal Organ Realm experts were strong, they weren't as robust as refined steel.
Little Li's claws could easily slice through steel, let alone the body of an Internal Organ Realm martial artist.
It was uncertain whether even an expert from the Innate Realm could withstand Little Li's claws.
However, the capabilities of the Innate Realm were far superior to those of the Postnatal Realm.
Facing such an expert, it was hard to say if Little Li's invisibility would be effective, so it was best left as a mere thought.
Back at home, Lu Qing first served a plate of fish to Little Li.
Then he started to cook his own portion.
He had given all his dry food to Ma Gu and Young Master Wei, going the whole day without eating.
After cooking something simple and waiting for it to be ready, Little Li had already devoured most of its fish.
Lu Qing watched as it continued to eat heartily and shook his head with a smile.
It was a pity that he hadn't caught any Strange Fish recently.
It seemed like no Strange Fish had been coming to the Miracle Fish Fishing Spot.
Otherwise, he could have treated his little companion well.
Perhaps, it was time to look for a new and good fishing spot.
Lu Qing thought as he ate.
After both human and little beast were fed and content, Little Li went to its nest to sleep.
Today, Little Yan was at Half Mountain Small Courtyard. Since it was already late at night, Lu Qing was not in a hurry to fetch her.
He thought for a moment, then took his backpack and began to search through it.
After killing Tong Canglang and Wang Qingshan during the day, he had gathered some items from their bodies.
Due to the rush at the time, he hadn't examined them closely. Now, he could finally see what they were.
After searching for a while, Lu Qing placed the items he had found on the table.
There weren't many items, mostly silver notes and a small amount of gold and silver.
The remaining items were a piece of tattered leather armor, several medicine bottles, and a piece of unknown leather paper.
After all, people like Wang Qingshan and Tong Canglang, who had entered the mountain on a mission, naturally didn't carry too much.
Nor were there any secret manuals or the like.
This didn't surprise Lu Qing.
Except for lone practitioners without a sect, people generally don't carry secret manuals with them.
Especially those martial artists who had a master; their sects would never allow them to carry secret manuals outside.
Such an act would only expose their techniques and vulnerabilities without any benefit.
Ignoring mundane items like silver notes and gold, Lu Qing focused his attention on the few other items.
The first thing he examined was the piece of leather armor.
It was taken from Tong Canglang, a fragment from the broken leather armor he wore.
Lu Qing had been curious about the leather armor on Tong Canglang.
He wanted to know what it was made of that could withstand slashes from his war saber.
Lu Qing gazed intently at the piece of leather armor.
Soon, a white light tinged with a hint of red, the Superpower Light, rose from the armor.
[Tattered Leather Armor: Made from the hide of a White-Horned Barbaric Bull with amazing defensive power, capable of blocking blades.]
[The White-Horned Barbaric Bull is a mutant beast that inhabits the deep mountains of the Northern Border. Its hide is highly sought after for its remarkable defensive power. Many martial artists covet it, leading to its near extinction and rarity.]
"White-Horned Barbaric Bull?"
After reading the information about the tattered leather armor, Lu Qing realized.
So, the leather armor worn by Tong Canglang was made from the hide of some mutant beast, no wonder it had exceptional defensive power.
Unfortunately, he had damaged it.
Moreover, in his hurry to leave and with Ma Gu watching, it wasn't appropriate to strip the clothes off, otherwise, he would have taken the armor back with him.
Setting aside the tattered leather armor, Lu Qing turned his attention to the several medicine bottles.
The bottles were collected from both Wang Qingshan and Tong Canglang. Being personally kept by two sect disciples, the medicine must be extremely rare.
