System:The More I Kill, the Stronger I Get

"As for the cultivation pills of the first to third tiers, fourth-tier cultivation pills, and healing pills, I need some of those too," Oliver Sheng quickly said.

Currently, most of the soldiers under his command were ordinary soldiers at the Martial Disciple realm.

There were few Martial Artists and Martial Masters, and only four Colonels who were Postnatal Martial Artists.

Therefore, what Oliver needed most were first to third-tier cultivation pills to enhance the strength of his soldiers.

"First to third-tier cultivation pills? Those aren't expensive."

"First-tier cultivation pills are five taels of silver each, second-tier are ten taels, third-tier are twenty taels, and fourth-tier are fifty taels each. I'll give you the same price for the healing pills," Nolan Dan said to Oliver Sheng.

Upon hearing this, Oliver felt that Nolan was quite fair.

He had inquired about the prices of pills on the black market, and they were at least three times higher than what Nolan offered.

And these were just cultivation pills, not breakthrough pills.

"Alright, let's trade at these prices," Oliver nodded.

Nolan took off a jade gourd from his waist and placed it on the table.

"There are many pills inside; I don't know exactly how many," Nolan said, waving his hand and casting a spell on the jade gourd.

With a flash of light, countless small jade bottles appeared in the front hall of the tavern.

Oliver felt the fluctuation of that magical power, completely different from True Essence and Innate True Qi, very peculiar.

"A spatial magic tool?"

At the same time, he noticed that Nolan's jade gourd was actually a spatial magic tool.

"Are you referring to this storage tool, General? Calling it a spatial magic tool isn't wrong. It's a masterpiece from the Tool Sect, but it's too expensive. I could only afford two," Nolan said with a smile.

Seeing Nolan's smile, Oliver felt it was a bit of a show-off.

Oliver was envious, really wanting to snatch it, but that was just a thought.

A spatial magic tool, a storage tool that many dream of, and he saw one today.

One day, he would get one to play with too.

Turning to look at the jade bottles piled on the ground, Oliver's heart raced uncontrollably, even more than when Fairy Isla Qin charmed him.

"Men!" Oliver shouted.

The soldiers guarding outside the tavern quickly came in upon hearing Oliver's voice.

"General, what are your orders?" Jing Yuan rushed in and cupped his fists.

He was one of the Sergeants guarding the tavern, at the mid-stage Martial Artist realm, an old veteran under Oliver's command.

"Go call the Colonels here, quickly," Oliver ordered.

"Yes, General." Jing Yuan quickly left.

A few minutes later, Cameron Guo, Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, and Xiao Chuyi hurried over, only to see Oliver squatting on the ground, hugging the jade bottles and smiling foolishly.

"General, what are your orders?" Cameron Guo saluted.

"Come over and help count the pills," Oliver said without looking up.

"Pills?"

Cameron Guo, Wesley Hu, and Felix Wu thought they had misheard, then were overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to help count the pills.

Only Xiao Chuyi noticed Nolan Dan sitting at the table drinking. She recognized the Pill Sect robe at a glance.

She wondered how Oliver knew someone from the Pill Sect.

When Oliver and the others finished counting the pills, their smiles were exaggerated, even more than the Dragon King's crooked smile.

"General, did the Daoist trade these pills with us?" Cameron Guo couldn't believe it and had to confirm.

"Annoying, you've asked three times already," Oliver really wanted to slap Cameron to make him realize this was real, not a dream.

"Daoist, we've counted: seventy thousand first-tier cultivation pills, thirty thousand second-tier, five thousand third-tier, two thousand fourth-tier, ten thousand healing pills, and a few hundred breakthrough pills from the first to third tiers," Oliver said to Nolan.

"Count it yourself. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it next time. If there's more, consider it a deposit for the next batch of wine," Nolan said indifferently.

These pills were from his previous pill refining sessions, and he hadn't had time to clear the inventory. Today, he gave them all to Oliver to make room for wine.

Oliver silently calculated that these pills were worth a total of 1.3 million taels of silver.

"Daoist, these pills are worth a total of 1.3 million taels of silver," Oliver said.

"Alright, I'll owe you sixty thousand and make it up next time," Nolan nodded.

"Transport all the pills to the barracks and guard them strictly," Oliver instructed Cameron Guo.

"Yes, General. If anything goes wrong, I'll bring my head to you," Cameron Guo replied solemnly.

This batch of pills was enough to elevate their military strength to a new level.

Cameron Guo and the others called in soldiers to move the pills to the barracks.

"Daoist, let's go. I'll take you to get the wine," Oliver said to Nolan after finishing the tasks.

"Please!"

Nolan made a gesture of invitation, his eyes full of anticipation.

Oliver led Nolan to the storeroom, which was filled with wine jars.

"Three thousand jars of Green Ant Wine, two thousand jars of Western Wind Blaze, all here. Do you need me to send someone to help you transport them?" Oliver asked.

Such a large quantity of wine wasn't a small matter. Oliver thought Nolan's jade gourd spatial magic tool might not be able to hold it all.

"No need," Nolan shook his head.

The jade gourd that had stored the pills floated above the three thousand jars of Green Ant Wine under Nolan's spell.

"Collect!"

With a flash of light, the three thousand jars of Green Ant Wine were collected into the jade gourd.

Oliver was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen a Daoist casting spells, and it was indeed as magical as described in the novels.

Then Nolan took out another jade gourd and collected the two thousand jars of Western Wind Blaze.

Seeing this, Oliver felt he had been too shallow. Five thousand jars of wine were collected into Nolan's spatial magic tool just like that.

Oliver was envious of Nolan's spatial magic tool.

"General, I have other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave for now. I won't short you on the sixty thousand taels worth of pills. I'll come back when the wine is finished. Make sure to have it ready," Nolan said, holding a jar of Western Wind Blaze.

"No problem. Just give me a heads-up next time, and I'll prepare the wine in advance," Oliver nodded.

"Alright, I'm off," Nolan said, opening the wine jar and drinking as he left.

After Nolan left, Oliver smiled broadly. Even if Nolan didn't give him the sixty thousand taels worth of pills, he still felt he had profited. Five thousand jars of wine for so many cultivation pills was a great deal.

After encouraging Master Du and Summer Lotus, Oliver walked out of the tavern.

"General!" Jing Yuan cupped his fists and saluted.

"I'm assigning three hundred more men to you. Guard the tavern well. Don't let even a fly in," Oliver instructed Jing Yuan.

"Yes, General."

This tavern was truly a golden goose, and Oliver needed to strengthen its defenses.

Oliver didn't keep the pills for himself. He distributed them to his soldiers for cultivation.

Only by enhancing their strength could they truly benefit. The purpose of the pills was to improve strength; otherwise, they were meaningless just sitting there.

Oliver's troops trained vigorously, the craftsman's workshop forged heavy armor, and the tavern made money.

With Nolan Dan on his side, he no longer feared not being able to buy pills in the future.

...

Nolan Dan, drinking wine, arrived at Misty Willow House.

"Fox Demon, you have some nerve to kill someone from my Pill Sect."

"Hey, Daoist, come have some fun. The girls at Misty Willow House are all fresh and lovely, guaranteed to make you feel good," the brothel keeper said, smiling as she saw Nolan.

"Is that so?"

Nolan smiled and walked into Misty Willow House.

"Wow, it's quite a sight. Even Daoists visit brothels these days?" someone exclaimed upon seeing Nolan enter the brothel.

"That's nothing. Last time in the provincial capital, I saw a monk visiting a brothel."

In a private room on the second floor.

Mason Wei and his nine Silver Medals sat together, drinking out of boredom.

"Silver Medal Wei, currently in River West County, only the top courtesan at Misty Willow House, Isla Qin, seems a bit unusual," one Silver Medal whispered.

"Have you investigated thoroughly?" Mason Wei asked seriously.

The Demon Slayer Division never acted unless they were sure. Otherwise, the consequences could be severe.

"I've investigated. This top courtesan arrived two months ago, not from the Capital City but from Yan Province. Everyone who has seen her face is unusually obsessed with her."

"Moreover, she rarely shows herself. However, it's said that she's familiar with Magistrate Chen and General Sheng, who guards this place," the Silver Medal reported.

"We'll find a chance to meet her. If she's the demoness, we'll kill her," Mason Wei said firmly.

"Silver Medal Wei, a Daoist from the Pill Sect has arrived," a Silver Medal whispered, seeing Nolan Dan going upstairs.

"A Pill Sect Daoist?"

"I heard a Pill Sect disciple was killed by that Fox Demon. Could it be that the Pill Sect is also pursuing her?"

"If the Pill Sect is pursuing her, then it's almost certain," the Demon Slayer Division members were excited.

"Don't panic. Let the Pill Sect Daoist test the waters first," Mason Wei said, planning to let Nolan Dan scout ahead.

Nolan Dan went up to the second floor: "I heard your establishment has a top courtesan, as beautiful as a fairy. May I have the honor of meeting her?"

"Daoist wants to see Fairy Isla Qin? I'll go get her," the brothel keeper said, swaying her hips as she went to the third floor.

"Fairy Qin, a Daoist wants to see your true face. What do you think?" the brothel keeper asked outside Isla Qin's room.

"A Daoist? How quick. Are they all here?" Isla Qin said, dotting a vermilion mark on her forehead in front of a bronze mirror.

Dressed in red, her enchanting face exuded charm, capable of bewitching anyone with just one look.

She stood up gracefully and walked out.

"All here?" the brothel keeper was puzzled.

Isla Qin didn't answer, elegantly walking down to the second floor, her gaze falling on Nolan Dan.

In the private room, Mason Wei and his team stared intently at Isla Qin.

"What's going on? Her aura isn't right. The demon-detecting tool isn't reacting. This shouldn't be," one Silver Medal frowned.

"Aura and appearance can be changed, and the demon-detecting tool can be shielded," Mason Wei thought. The moment he saw Isla Qin, his intuition told him she was the great demon.

"Fox Demon, why did you kill my junior brother?" Nolan Dan asked, staring at Isla Qin.

"Are you talking about Dan Feng? He willingly gave his life to me," Isla Qin said with a charming smile, her allure overwhelming.

Nolan Dan's mind wavered, but he quickly snapped out of it. He almost fell for it. This demoness was indeed terrifying, her charm innate, capable of bewitching minds.

"Impressive, as expected of a Fox Demon," Nolan Dan said gravely.

"But for killing someone from my Pill Sect, you'll have to come with me and face punishment."

"Haha, what a joke. Do you think your Pill Sect is something special? You want to punish and judge me?" Isla Qin sneered.

The brothel keeper was confused. She understood every word, but together, they made no sense. What Pill Sect? What Fox Demon?

"Don't blame me then," Nolan Dan attacked, casting a spell at Isla Qin.

Isla Qin waved her sleeve, and a red light flashed, dispersing the spell.

"A cultivator at the Illumination realm, stronger than your junior brother," Isla Qin said, turning into a red light and flying away.

"Fox Demon, where do you think you're going?"

Mason Wei drew his sword and charged out of the private room, chasing after her.
