Traveling all the way under the stars and night, Zhou Jing took Goatee and Gama and arrived at Baiyuan City smoothly.

Arriving at the lord's longhouse, he asked the guard to inform him of his arrival. After waiting for a while, he was welcomed in and met Lord Root in the guest house.

"Jason, the guard said you have something to report? Is there a threat from a strange beast in Frostwood Village?"

Root, dressed in fine clothes, glanced at Goatee and Gama, and then asked Zhou Jing.

"No, it's about the pharmacy..."

Zhou Jing pushed Goatee and Gama forward, who were tied together, and asked Ross to show several boxes of inferior medicine as evidence, and explained the transaction between the two.

The two did not dare not cooperate and confessed to the crime.

After hearing this, Root looked shocked, looked at the two of them with squinted eyes, and said angrily: "Someone is doing this behind my back? They are using their position to make money by reselling their inventory, betraying my trust!"

The two looked at the lord tremblingly, not daring to answer.

Root knelt down and fiddled with the potions. When he saw the defective hunter's potion inside, he suddenly became furious and slapped his goatee in the face with his backhand.

Snap!

Goatee was knocked to the ground, covering his face and not daring to raise his head.

"You are looking for death! How dare you use even hunter's supplies for profit?!"

Lute spoke harshly.

Then he turned to look at Zhou Jing and said in a deep voice: "As for the exotic beast hunters who protect the tribe, the quality of all supplies must be guaranteed first. This matter has reached the bottom line. Don't worry, I will never let them go! I

We will thoroughly investigate the pharmacy and find out all the supervisors involved in the case, as well as the village doctors who supplied them!"

"That's good." Zhou Jing nodded.

Root paused and warned: "Don't talk about this matter for now, lest these morons get wind of it, destroy the clues, and cause chaos."

Are you worried that the fire dragon will burn down the warehouse... Zhou Jing nodded silently.

Root looked at Goatee and Gama and said decisively: "Then leave these two people and these inferior potions to me. I still have a lot of things to interrogate them."

"Okay." Zhou Jing had no objection.

All Balon told him was to report the situation and bring the two of them over, and then the lord would worry about it. After all, he was just an ordinary hunter of exotic beasts, not a city law enforcer.

Root then forced a smile and said: "Jason, your report was very timely and safeguarded my interests. Otherwise, I would have been deceived by them for who knows how long... You really don't consider accepting my invitation to become me."

The bodyguard?"

"No, I still prefer to be a hunter."

"Okay." Root's face was full of pity, and then he smiled and said: "You have made great achievements this time. I am a generous person and I will never be stingy with rewards."

With that said, he went to the housekeeper to whisper a few words, and the housekeeper hurriedly left.

Not long after, the butler came back with a bulging money bag in his hand.

Lute took the money bag, handed it to Zhou Jing's hand, and said solemnly: "Here is a thousand Terra silver coins as my thanks."

"So many?" Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

"You deserve this." Root said firmly, "The losses you have saved for me far exceed this amount."

Well, if you robbed Goatee's house, you could get far more than this amount...

As soon as Zhou Jing's thoughts changed, he was no longer surprised. He nodded and accepted it, and threw the money bag to Rose to carry.

"I've told you everything I know. I have nothing to do here, so I'll leave first."

Zhou Jing did not intend to stay here anymore, so he said goodbye and left.

Root seemed busy interrogating the two of them and did not try to persuade them to stay. He just warned them again not to leak the news.

…

Zhou Jing led Ross out of the lord's longhouse, said hello to the guard next to him, and then looked at the sky, it was still morning.

He suddenly got a huge sum of money, but he felt like he couldn't spend it... He definitely couldn't go to the pharmacy, and there was no need to change his equipment for the time being. There seemed to be nothing to spend money on.

"It's still early, let's go find a workshop."

Every time I come to White Plains City, the workshop is a must-visit place to check whether the products have been updated.

Zhou Jing arrived at the workshop with ease and asked the person in charge of the workshop to get the list.

Compared with the last time I visited, the workshop has some new products... It seems that other hunters have been working hard recently.

"Steel Feather Eagle Beak Hammer, Tyrannosaurus Dagger..."

Zhou Jing glanced at the equipment, most of which he didn't need.

He then looked at the list of different blood medicines, seeing that this was what he needed.

The current main goal is to strengthen it for the second time, and preparations need to be made early to see if there are any suitable potions as alternatives.

Soon, Zhou Jing discovered that his trip was not in vain.

Currently, there are three bottles of high-quality exotic blood potions in the workshop inventory, Snowwing Potion, Earth Rock Dragon Potion, and Wind Howling Tiger Potion. The first two are medium-risk alien beasts, and the last one is a high-risk alien beast.

"The Wind Howling Tiger... this kind of strange beast is also famous for its agility, its strength is equally strong, and its destructive power is astonishing."

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised and fell in love with it at first sight.

Generally speaking, subsequent alien blood enhancements will conflict or resonate with the alien blood potions that have been taken. If the alien blood potions are collected from the same or similar types of alien beasts, the success rate of the alien blood enhancement will be higher and the effect will be greater.

good.

Therefore, most exotic beast hunters have established a route after the first enhancement. Subsequent enhancements will only consider exotic blood potions of the same alien beast, as is the case with Baron.

As for my astral apostle, I used the Lightning Strike Leopard Potion for the first enhancement, which is a leopard species, while the Wind Howling Tiger is a tiger species. Although it is not the same species, it is of a similar species, so the route is consistent.

He had several hunting records in the White Plains City workshop and had an exchange quota. Zhou Jing did not hesitate and immediately asked the person in charge of the workshop to exchange for the Wind Howling Tiger potion.

However, the person in charge of the workshop looked troubled.

"Jason, I'm sorry, this is the medicine that someone else has reserved. He is ahead of you in line."

Zhou Jing was startled.

This is quite lucky.

Hunters can reserve a certain type of exotic blood potion at the workshop. Once the workshop has a potion that meets their needs, it will be given priority to those who made the reservation.

I also made a reservation myself, but the time was short after all, so my priority was not as high as the hunters who had made reservations earlier.

"Who made the appointment?"

"It's Captain Maggi."

"...Can you tell me again what his name is?"

"Maggi."

The person in charge of the workshop repeated it again honestly.

Zhou Jing's mouth twitched slightly, trying hard to resist the urge to complain about this name.

After taking a breath, he quickly returned to the topic and said doubtfully:

"It seems that there is no such person in the hunter list of White Plains City."

"Ma Geji is not a hunter of exotic beasts. He is Lord Root's personal guard captain and an enhanced alien-blood warrior." The person in charge of the workshop explained.

"It turned out to be the lord's bodyguard..."

Zhou Jing suddenly realized, then frowned:

"No, he's not a hunter, so why should he make an appointment at the workshop?"

The most important task of the workshop is to ensure the supply of various products to hunters.

According to regulations, only exotic beast hunters can make reservations in the workshop. Others do not have the right to make reservations. Even if they spend money to purchase, they can only buy spot goods, and their queue priority is lower than that of hunters.

"Well, he is the captain of the lord's bodyguard after all... The lord specifically told me that he is allowed to enjoy the treatment of a hunter." The person in charge of the workshop said in a tactful tone.

"Then I don't care, I want this potion anyway."

Zhou Jing made a decisive statement.

If the person making the appointment is a working exotic beast hunter, he won't mind discussing it with others. If they don't want to, he won't force it even if it feels pity.

But a lord's bodyguard who doesn't need to participate in hunting? How about killing him? We don't know each other, and we don't know how to fight side by side, so what's the point?

The main function of the hunter workshop is to serve exotic beast hunters. Alien-blooded warriors who are not hunters should not have the privileged treatment of hunters.

"This is against the rules..." the person in charge of the workshop struggled.

Zhou Jing interrupted directly: "You let a different-blood warrior who is not a hunter be ranked ahead of the hunter in the reservation ranking. This is also against the rules."

The person in charge of the workshop rubbed his forehead helplessly: "If you take this potion, and Maguji asks, I will have to explain the reason to him."

"If you don't tell him, won't it be over?"

"The problem is that I informed him yesterday to pick it up..." The person in charge of the workshop smiled bitterly.

"You still blame me for being lucky?"
