Chapter 162: The Wealthy Cat General (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That’s right!” Tang Yue looked at Lin Shen sincerely. “You’re a cultivator of the general values. You must be very strong. Please help us!”
Lin Shen didn’t give her a straight answer and only asked,
“How many guards are there? How strong are they?”
“We caught a guard and interrogated him. According to him, there shouldn’t be more than 50 guards, most of whom are at the Qi Transformation Stage. There are only seven or eight elites at the Long Breath Stage. The strongest captain is at the seventh level of the Long Breath Stage!”
At this point, Tang Yue’s expression darkened.
“After that, we fought with the guards there. The information we obtained from the interrogation is quite accurate.”
From the looks of it, Sinking Moon had probably suffered heavy losses in that operation.
…..
“What about the person in charge of that place?” Lin Shen asked.
Tang Yue hesitated and shook her head.
“We’re not too sure either. According to that guard, their master has been living in seclusion all year round. His actions are very secretive, and he rarely interacts with guards like them. We only know that that master is an apothecary.”
An apothecary?
Lin Shen’s eyes flickered.
He had heard of this profession.
From the name, one could tell that an apothecary was a professional who was good at identifying and handling medicinal ingredients. They were usually the assistant of an alchemist.
Very few powerful apothecaries could also refine some low-grade pills like the Spring Awn Pill and the Energy Recovery Pill.
Of course, compared to alchemists, apothecaries were far inferior in their status.
Generally speaking, apothecaries were apprentice alchemists who had never been able to advance to an official alchemist.
They felt that they couldn’t make any progress in alchemy, so they became apothecaries.
Although they were far inferior to alchemists, they were still the elites of Dragonside City, and their status wasn’t inferior to some Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.
In short, apothecaries could already live comfortably in Dragonside City, so why would they come to a place like Silverscale City where there were all sorts of people?
However, since their master was an apothecary, the strength of the guards in his residence wouldn’t be too strong.
With the power of an apothecary, hiring some Long Breath Stage cultivators to be guards was already as good as it could get. Bright Aperture Stage cultivators were out of the question.
Even if there was something fishy about that place, the guards shouldn’t be much stronger than what Sinking Moon had discovered.
Seeing Lin Shen in deep thought, Tang Yue couldn’t help but clench her fists nervously.
If they had any other choice, they wouldn’t have come to beg the cat general.
The cat general couldn’t interfere in worldly affairs as he liked. Even if he could, the place where the spirit cats were imprisoned was far away in Silverscale City. The cat general couldn’t reach it.
Therefore, after thinking about it, she could only seek help from other human cultivators.
According to the cat general, this young man was powerful and was the best candidate to help them.
Hence, Tang Yue placed all her hopes on Lin Shen.
The cat general glanced at Lin Shen and said gently,
“Cultivator, this shouldn’t be difficult for you. As a reward for helping Sinking Moon, I can remove five more layers of the restriction on your supreme-ruler Seeking Token. Furthermore, I can fulfill this promise now.”
Lin Shen’s expression changed slightly.
The supreme-ruler Seeking Token in his hand had already lit up five rune stones. If he lit up another five, the summoned cat general incarnation would have the cultivation of the first level of the Bright Aperture Stage!
That was Bright Aperture Stage combat strength!
Although Lin Shen had just killed an Enlightening Stage tiger demon not long ago, that was because the tiger demon had been seriously injured.
If he were to face an Enlightening Stage tiger demon at its peak, he would most likely run away.
Although the Path-stage martial technique was powerful, he was only at the Long Breath Stage. Against Bright Aperture or Enlightening Stage cultivators, he could protect himself, but he didn’t have much hope of winning.
Therefore, if he had a Bright Aperture Stage helper, even if he could only summon it once a month, it would still give him a huge sense of security!
The cat general had offered Lin Shen exactly what he needed.
With the supreme-ruler Seeking Token that lit up 10 rune stones, Lin Shen was much more confident about this trip.
Lin Shen was actually tempted, but he still didn’t show it. He wanted to fight for more remuneration for himself.
The cat general glanced at him and took out a stack of talismans.
“This is the Hidden Fog Talisman. It can condense a fog barrier and block one’s body and senses. Unless one is a cultivator with spiritual consciousness, no cultivator can break through the fog barrier. Whether it’s to confuse the enemy’s vision in battle or to escape, it’s extremely useful!”
Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.
Of course, he knew about the Hidden Fog Talisman.
This was a superior-grade talisman that was much superior to the Flying Feather Talisman and the Divine Weapon Talisman.
The exchange price in the Merit Hall was as high as three minor merits!
Those merit points were enough to exchange for a martial technique, but it could only exchange for a one-time use talisman. That was how precious this Hidden Fog Talisman was!
More importantly, this Hidden Fog Talisman was very suitable for Lin Shen’s clones!
Lin Shen couldn’t help but glance at the cat general. He immediately met the latter’s meaningful gaze.
Lin Shen secretly clicked his tongue and decided to push it further.
“Divine Lord, I still need some weapons.”
A smile flashed in the cat general’s eyes. He took out three Six Yang Talisman Swords without hesitation.
“Most of the martial techniques you cultivate are of the Yang attribute. The Six Yang Talisman Sword is the most compatible with them.”
How generous!
This was the thought that appeared in Lin Shen’s mind at this moment.
The cat general was as generous as ever.
With three Six Yang Talisman Swords and the twelve Hidden Fog Talismans, the total value was close to a hundred minor merits!
Not to mention the supreme-ruler Seeking Token!
Hence, Lin Shen no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Tang Yue was still wondering why Lin Shen wanted so many weapons. Did he want to sell them?
However, she quickly forgot about this matter. When she heard that Lin Shen had agreed to help, she was overjoyed.
“When are we leaving?” Tang Yue asked impatiently.
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, “Silverscale City is more than 200 kilometers away from Dragonside City. If we leave now, it might be dawn by the time we get there. That’s not a good time for our operation. Let’s set off tomorrow morning.”
After a pause, Lin Shen asked, “Where are your companions?”
“They’re all waiting in Silverscale City!” Tang Yue answered.
Lin Shen nodded slightly. “Then it’s settled. We’ll gather at the east gate tomorrow. By the way, do you have a token to leave the city?”
“Yes,” Tang Yue said without thinking. “The general gave us a token that allows us to enter and leave Dragonside City at will.”
No wonder Sinking Moon could travel between Silverscale City and Dragonside City at will!
Lin Shen couldn’t help but glance at the cat general. This Divine Lord was really resourceful. He could even obtain an entry token from Dragonside City.
After agreeing on the time and place, Lin Shen left.
Tang Yue remained by the cat general’s side.
She glanced at the cat general and hesitated.
The cat general smiled and said, “If you have anything to ask, just say it.”
Tang Yue hesitated, but in the end, she couldn’t help but ask the question.
“General, I’m not doubting Lin Shen’s strength, but the target this time is very troublesome. Shouldn’t we find a few more helpers?”
The cat general smiled and said, “After all, you’re all a little eye-catching. It’s better not to let too many people know. Lin Shen has already adopted Ai. He doesn’t have any prejudice against spirit cats like ordinary people do. He’s the best candidate to help you.
“As for his strength…”
A meaningful smile appeared on the cat general’s face.
…..
“Although he’s only one person. In a real fight, even ten cultivators of the same cultivation level might not be his match.”
Tang Yue was stunned.
More than ten cultivators?
Was that even possible?
No matter how high one’s attainments in martial arts and how rich one’s combat experience was, fighting against four or five cultivators at the same time was usually the limit.
One against more than ten?
No matter how she thought about it, it was a little unbelievable.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the person who said this was the cat general that Tang Yue respected, she would definitely think that he was spouting nonsense.
However, it only made her even more puzzled.
Turning to look in the direction where Lin Shen had left, Tang Yue suddenly felt that this human cultivator seemed to be hiding many secrets..
