Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou was dumbfounded, thinking, 'Are you pretending to be dead with me? Do you believe I'll really stew you?' He picked up the chick and found that this guy was really asleep, with sounds like a human snoring coming from its throat.

Li Ergou was speechless, but then he thought, 'Why am I arguing with an animal? It's too embarrassing. It's just a broken flower, so it ate it.'

He snorted and said to the chick, "Consider yourself lucky. I have a lot of things to do today, so I won't bother with you. But I've remembered you. If there's a next time, I'll definitely stew you in soup."

After cleaning up, he decided to go to the yamen to report, then go to the Spirit Item Pavilion to find someone to identify the vine plant and take a first-generation chicken with him.

He also needed to go to the Ancient Sword Sect's general store to find the guy who sold him the book and see how to forge a sword of his own.

After all, he didn't even have a copper coin sword now, and he didn't even have a handy weapon. If the yamen had a special event, wouldn't he be in danger?

It seemed like he had a lot of tasks today, so he should hurry up and set off.

He went to the yamen and saw Lu Yun and Zhang Long walking together. When they saw Li Ergou, they ran over excitedly.

Lu Yun rushed to say, "Brother Gou, do you know that a big thing has happened in the county?"

Li Ergou was confused, wondering what was going on. Could it be that something had happened in the past few days while he was away? So he asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious? I've been cultivating at home these past few days and don't know what's going on outside."

Lu Yun didn't waste any time and said, "Boss, the water in Bitterwater County isn't bitter anymore! Today I drank the water and suddenly found that all the water didn't have the slightly bitter taste it used to have. Isn't that strange?"

Zhang Long also said, "Yes, yes, it's really too strange. I don't know which great god helped us. I sincerely thank him. We don't have to drink bitter water anymore."

Strangely, Li Ergou saw a little bit of faint golden light rising from Zhang Long's forehead after he expressed his gratitude, instantly entering his own brow.

Before he could think about it, he saw a little bit of light flying from Lu Yun's forehead as well, entering his forehead.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Before he could check, he saw countless golden light spots in the sky flying towards him, then entering his brow and merging into his sea of consciousness.

They actually formed a small golden ball in the sea of consciousness, and this ball was getting bigger and bigger.

What Li Ergou didn't know was that outside, countless people in Bitterwater County were extremely excited at this moment, grateful to the person who allowed them to drink water without bitterness again.

From the foreheads of every grateful person, golden light spots that they and others couldn't see flew out, flying into the sky and merging into the yamen, like a golden river, entering Li Ergou's sea of consciousness, and finally turning into a huge ball of light.

But at this time, the ball of light began to condense, getting smaller and smaller, eventually turning into the size of a pigeon egg, like a golden pill, suspended there, emitting a faint golden light, quite beautiful.

Li Ergou was frightened by this scene, asking Lu Yun and Zhang Long if they saw the golden light spots, but they both looked at Li Ergou with puzzled expressions, ultimately shaking their heads, not knowing what Li Ergou had seen.

Only then did Li Ergou understand that this strange scene could only be seen by himself.

With great incomprehension, he looked at the golden pill in his sea of consciousness. When his divine sense touched it, he realized that this was an invisible force of karma from the Great Dao, and only when a person was truly grateful to the heavens and earth would this thing be born.

Little did he know that Bitterwater County had been harmed by bitter water for hundreds of years, and Li Ergou changed this situation, which was a great act of kindness and great merit.

Therefore, the Great Dao gave him this merit as a reward for doing good deeds, and it could be considered a huge blessing.

This Great Dao karma force could not only help him break through bottlenecks, but also help him resist heavenly thunder, and even help cultivators to merge with the world, which was an unparalleled treasure. He was excited in his heart, and for the first time he knew that there was a reward for doing good deeds.

For a time, he was extremely happy and excited to the point of being speechless, thinking that he must do more good deeds in the future, helping old ladies cross the road and so on, which was naturally a piece of cake.

Li Ergou was very happy in his heart. After chatting with Lu Yun and Zhang Long for a while, he left.

When he arrived at the Spirit Item Pavilion, Liu Zhiyu walked up to Li Ergou with a warm expression. Li Ergou didn't waste any time and directly took out the human-shaped vine, asking Liu Zhiyu to find someone to identify it.

When Liu Zhiyu saw such a thing, he couldn't help but wonder where Li Ergou had gotten it.

Then Li Ergou didn't hide anything and told him about his trip to the secret cave in Bitter Mountain. Liu Zhiyu was extremely surprised to hear this. After a moment, he suddenly reacted and said with a shocked expression, "Goodness, the water in Bitterwater County isn't bitter anymore. Could it be because of you?"

Li Ergou smiled and said, "I guess it should be. Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

"Keep it low-key my ass! You have to tell the higher-ups about this so that they can reward you. You're good in every way, Ergou, but you're too honest. But don't worry, with me here, you won't suffer any losses."

Liu Zhiyu patted his chest and said confidently.

Li Ergou was speechless, thinking, 'Don't you cause trouble for me.' But Liu Zhiyu was so enthusiastic that he couldn't say anything unpleasant, so he could only smile and think, 'Let him do whatever he wants.'

Liu Zhiyu then asked if Li Ergou had any plans to sell the snake king's corpse. Li Ergou directly told him that he fed it to the cats, which shocked Liu Zhiyu on the spot.

Even a young master like Liu Zhiyu, who didn't lack money, kept slapping his thighs and scolding Li Ergou for being a spendthrift.

Only then did Li Ergou regret that he thought he couldn't waste it even if he didn't eat it. After the black cats ate this kind of thing, their spirituality became even better, so he gave it to them to eat, only forgetting to take it out to sell.

But at this time, the snake king might only have its skeleton left, and it was too late to regret it.

Li Ergou found Liu Zhiyu's appearance funny, thinking that this guy was just a money grubber, but business still had to be done. He immediately took out a first-generation chicken and handed it to Liu Zhiyu, saying, "Forget it, it's useless to feel bad. This is my first-generation chicken. Ask someone to stew it, and we can discuss the price."

Liu Zhiyu was helpless, thinking, 'Well, what can I say about this Ergou?'

Perhaps this is the benefit of being a single dog, being full by himself and the whole family not being hungry, and not having to care too much about money. Thinking of this, he felt relieved, but wondered what the first-generation chicken of Li Ergou tasted like.

Before long, the first-generation chicken was brought out, and the fragrant smell made people drool uncontrollably, making Liu Zhiyu couldn't help but grab a piece to eat first. After one bite, he immediately exclaimed that the taste was comparable to the flesh and blood of a demon beast.

It was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating. Li Ergou just liked to see Liu Zhiyu's appearance of not having seen the world.

Watching Liu Zhiyu carefully pick up a piece of chicken, chewing slowly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's no fun eating like this. Come, I'll teach you a way to eat it."

Then he picked up the chicken, tore off a big leg, and handed it to Liu Zhiyu, saying, 'Eat it in big bites and feel it.'

Liu Zhiyu was slightly stunned and said with some embarrassment, "Is this okay? Isn't it too rude and damaging to my image?"

"Just feel it, there are no outsiders anyway, what are you afraid of? If you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know?" Li Ergou kept coaxing.

Liu Zhiyu rolled his eyes, but still followed Li Ergou's method, grabbed the big chicken leg, and took a big bite.

"爽!" (Shuang! - Awesome!)

Liu Zhiyu felt more comfortable than ever before, and only then did he realize that he could eat things like this. For a time, he was even more excited.

Li Ergou smiled and didn't hold back, grabbing the chicken and gnawing on it.

This was Li Ergou's favorite way to eat chicken, but he had corrupted Liu Zhiyu.

The two were eating happily when a waiter came out and said, "Young master, the appraisal results are out."
