Chapter 78: Money Doesn't Bite
Li Wenjun went straight home, he didn't practice immediately, he cut a branch from the tree, cut off a section and bit it in his mouth, then tore his clothes apart, heated the dragon head goose feather knife over the lamp flame, tore open the arrow wound on his left shoulder, and endured the heart-piercing pain to start digging out the deeply embedded arrowhead.
Li Wenjun's face muscles twitched, and pea-sized sweat drops dripped down his face. The fresh branches as thick as fingers were almost bitten off by him.
After spending half a day's effort, his left shoulder was covered in blood and flesh, and he finally managed to forcibly pull out the arrow cluster. At this time, he was drenched in sweat from head to toe, and his face was deathly pale.
Li Wenjun sprinkled the hemostatic medicine he had bought before on the wound on his shoulder, stopped the bleeding, and then bandaged the wound with a bandage. Then, he went back to the house, fell on the bed, covered his head and fell asleep.
He didn't sleep for long, and it only lasted about an hour or so. When he woke up, the sky was still dark.
Li Wenjun touched his shoulder and felt no more pain. He unwrapped the bandage to take a look, and the wound had healed about 70-80%. He estimated that after sleeping for another half an hour or so, his left shoulder would be fully recovered.
Li Wenjun moved his left shoulder slightly, and apart from a slight dull ache, his left shoulder and arm were fine. He let out a breath of relief, the green light that had saved him numerous times before once again displaying its divine power, allowing him to recover from his injuries so quickly. This was extremely crucial and important for him.
The environment he is in is getting more and more turbulent, only with good health can he respond to various sudden situations at any time.
Li Wenjun didn't sleep, he went to the yard and cut down several trees in the house with a dragon-headed goose feather knife. He prepared to set up several hidden mechanisms inside and outside the yard according to Wang Yonggui's left mechanism.
This time in the county government office, not counting those small fries, he killed three people with extraordinary backgrounds and identities: Third Master, Jiang Xuan, and Wu Qi. Whether it's the Broken Army Marquis far away in the capital or the nearby Mingchuan Prefecture Governor Shao Kehe, they will definitely not let him off easily. Even if they knew his cultivator identity, eight or nine out of ten would want to settle accounts with him.
Li Wenjun can be sure of one thing, that Shao Ke and Po Jun Hou must have some connection with the immortal cultivator. If they were to ask for his help in taking him down, things would get complicated. He couldn't not make some necessary preparations ahead of time.
It's impossible for him to improve his cultivation realm in a short period of time. Changing and adding new magical tools, learning more spells, are equally difficult for him. The only feasible method is to set up mechanisms.
These mechanisms developed by Wang Yonggui can only deal with low-level cultivators, and if some cultivators with higher cultivation levels come, they may not have much effect. Moreover, the place where Li Wenjun lives is a downtown area, the terrain is open, and it is not the most suitable place to set up mechanisms, so the threat posed by the mechanisms should be discounted accordingly.
Setting up these mechanisms can only be said to be barely sufficient, and more of it is just for psychological comfort.
It's better to try than not to try at all.
Perhaps for Li Wenjun, the most correct approach would be to leave Sanshan County immediately and go elsewhere to avoid the storm. However, doing so may not necessarily be the best choice.
Months ago, Li Wenjun overheard a conversation between two cultivators while he was going down Wufeng Mountain at night to find someone to rescue the injured Sun father and son.
They once mentioned that the reason they came to a poor and remote place like Sanshan County was because there was a golden elixir ancestor, Zhou Yukun, who dominated the Song Dynasty for a time.
There is a Zhou family under the name of Zhou Yukun, which is a Xian family mainly composed of cultivators. When the Zhou family was at its peak, Zhou Yukun and the entire Zhou family suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Those two cultivators' masters suspected that Sanshan County was the Zhou family's last foothold, so they sent them here to conduct a final inspection and investigation.
It just so happens that the head of San Shan Academy, Zhou Wei, also shares the same surname as Zhou. The Duke of Broken Army, a powerful figure with connections to cultivators, is interested in Zhou Wei. Does this mean that Zhou Wei and Zhou Yukun are connected?
This was Li Wenjun's inference, he didn't dare say that this inference must be true, but he was willing to bet on it and take some risks. He deeply felt that the means of the Xianxia world he grasped were too few, so his cultivation path was particularly difficult.
He is not greedy either, as long as he can get something slightly, he is very satisfied.
If he chooses to leave Sanshan County at this time, if he misses this good show, it will be too late to regret.
Another point is that Li Wenjun also has to consider Sun's father and son, his relationship with them is well-known, he doesn't want to implicate Sun's father and son because of his own affairs.
Of course, Li Wenjun would not stubbornly insist on staying in Sanshan County. If things developed beyond his control, he would leave without hesitation. At worst, he could wait until later when his abilities had improved and then return to reclaim all the justice that was owed to him.
Before they knew it, daybreak had arrived, and the Sun family from next door, father and son, heard the commotion and all came over to help.
"Wen Jun, what are you doing? Chopping trees in the middle of the night." Sun Jianing held an axe and helped Li Wenjun trim the branches off a large tree while curiously asking.
Li Wenjun smiled and said, "I'm idle and have nothing to do, so I'll just make something for fun."
Sun Baisuo said worriedly: "Wen Jun, this house is rented by you, and you've knocked down all the trees. Shouldn't you inform the landlord?"
Li Wenjun smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, I was just thinking of telling you about this. I plan to buy this house, and also the pond behind it. Can you help me run some errands and get this done as soon as possible? Don't worry about the money, wait a minute, I'll go get the silver for you."
Li Wenjun went into the house, took out a gold ingot from the storage package, and then came out of the house again to hand it over to Sun Baicao.
Sun Baicao looked at the glittering golden horseshoe and took a deep breath, this was a large gold ingot, weighing fifty taels, which meant five hundred taels of silver.
How did Li Wenjun become so rich? Just two days ago, he had given him forty taels of silver, and today, as soon as he made a move, it was even more frightening, directly fifty taels of gold, almost scaring him to death.
Sun Baicao didn't dare to take it, he looked at Li Wenjun with a complex expression and said: "Wenjun, I really can't see through you more and more. You said you escaped alone to San Shan County, how come you brought so much money with you? And you've been settled here for several months, the money not only hasn't run out, but it's getting more and more?"
Li Wenjun smiled and said: "Uncle Sun, this money is not yours, it's all mine. As for how I got it, you'll know soon enough."
Li Wenjun's words had barely fallen when a sudden horseshoe sound came from outside the courtyard gate, and as soon as it reached the gate, it stopped abruptly. Then, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door ring.
"Jianning, would you mind going to see who's at the door?" Li Wenjun said.
Sun Jianing hastily dropped the tool in his hand and walked to the door. After seeing the person outside the door clearly, Sun Jianing was shocked.
