With his Inner Strength breakthrough and the dramatic increase in his Sword Speed, Lin Hui didn't waste any time. Since he had made the rare trip, he decided to hunt two more Tree Scorpions. This time, he didn't kill them outright, only severing their Scorpion Tails to take back with him.
For one, the Scorpion Tail had a weak point that was easy to sever. For another, killing the creatures completely would cause too much damage to his Qinghe Sword.
He wasn't short on money these days, what with his father's support and his health and wellness class for seniors booming, but the Qinghe Sword had been with him for a long time. He'd grown attached to it.
It had witnessed his journey, step by step, from his weakest moments.
As evening approached, he dragged the Scorpion Tails into a pile, rented a small cabin in Shiqiao Town for the time being, and hung up a Jade Talisman to ward off the fog, waiting for the next day to arrive.
