Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Strike It Rich!
Under the enhancent of the three Host’s Powers.
Zhang Yuan not only experienced a startling transformation in his physique, but his five senses were also greatly enhanced.
The cyan-skinned zombie pouncing towards him suddenly appeared to slow down in Zhang Yuan’s eyes.
Zhang Yuan could even clearly see the white corpse hair on the enemy’s face and the dark red blood threads in its eyes.
The piercing sound of the zombie’s claws breaking through the air simultaneously reached Zhang Yuan’s ears, allowing him to sharply perceive the drop point of this strike.
At this critical mont, Zhang Yuan brazenly swung the Yanling Saber.
Using his full strength!
The Hundred-Forged Long Saber slashed diagonally, with a sword aura erupting like thunder, instantly striking the shoulder-neck area of the cyan-skinned zombie.
It sliced through effortlessly!
The cyan-skinned zombie’s body suddenly halted, and its striking right claw fell into emptiness.
The next mont, a long crack appeared from its left shoulder to its right waist, with dark corpse fluid gushing out.
At this mont, Zhang Yuan was already behind the cyan-skinned zombie.
He swung the saber again.
The zombie’s head suddenly fell off.
Imdiately, Zhang Yuan swung a third ti, cutting off both furry legs!
Each of his strikes carried the force of a thousand pounds.
If it were an ordinary creature, Zhang Yuan’s first strike would have ended the battle.
However, zombies are mutated corpses ford by corruption from Deceitful Qi, belonging to abnormal breeds.
Zhang Yuan had read records about zombies in books.
Zombies are divided into Wooden Corpses, Iron Corpses, Copper Corpses, Golden Corpses, and the Corpse King. They possess imnse strength, with bodies tougher than gold and iron, sharp claws and fangs filled with potent poison, making them extrely difficult to deal with.
Dealing with zombies, even decapitating them isn’t foolproof!
The zombie Zhang Yuan faced should be a newly transford Wooden Corpse.
But he dared not be careless, nor underestimate the zombie’s capability.
So when he struck, he unleashed his full power to dismber it!

Seeing the prompt appear in his vision.
Zhang Yuan sheathed the Yanling Saber, ceasing the enhancent of the three Hosts’ extraordinary abilities.
If it had not been completely slain.
This prompt wouldn’t appear.
And maintaining the ability required a continuous consumption of Qi Blood, which Zhang Yuan couldn’t sustain for long.
He imdiately reverted to his original state!
The head and limbs of the cyan-skinned zombie, after falling to the ground, soon emitted wisps of black smoke.
Rotting and liquefying visibly.
The courtyard was instantly filled with a thick stench of decay, enough to make one nauseous.
Zhang Yuan held his breath and retreated back to the previous room.
Da Hu suddenly dashed out, wagging its tail in front of him.
The Mountain Guard Dog may be fierce.
But it’s ultimately an ordinary creature, incapable of dealing with the bizarre, nor can it be a match for a zombie.
Therefore, during the battle, Zhang Yuan had it roll far away to avoid interference.
Da Hu was very clever, completely obedient to him.
It hid itself in a room.
Zhang Yuan reached out and rubbed this clever fellow.
His gaze suddenly fixed.
He saw that in Da Hu’s mouth, there was a yellowish gold bar!
What a strange sight!
Zhang Yuan wondered if he was hallucinating.
Recently, he was short on money, dreaming nightly of discovering a great treasure.
After searching this house earlier with no success, he was sowhat irritated, possibly leading to hallucinations.
However, when Zhang Yuan took the item from Da Hu’s mouth, he confird his mind was perfectly clear.
Alluring color, hefty weight, and even Da Hu’s tooth marks on it...
This wasn’t a hallucination.
This was a genuine gold bar!
What on earth!
Woof woof!
Da Hu barked twice, then turned and ran into the inner bedroom.
Zhang Yuan quickly followed.
He saw the spot where the cyan-skinned zombie had burst forth from the earth scattered with nurous gold and silver!
Below, he could see broken boxes and more gold bars and silver ingots.
Struck it rich!
Only then did Zhang Yuan realize that he had found Great Landlord Chen’s private little treasury.
No, it should be said that Da Hu discovered it first!
He had actually been in this room before and conducted a thorough search.
With no findings.
Clearly, he lacked experience!
If not for the sudden appearance of the zombie, these treasures would have been missed.
Overjoyed, Zhang Yuan imdiately gathered all the gold bars and silver ingots on and beneath the floor together.
He found another box to store them in.
He roughly calculated.
These gold bars combined with the silver ingots converted to silver taels were about three thousand six hundred taels!
Struck it rich!!
Words couldn’t describe Zhang Yuan’s joy.
If not for his lack of inco and living in deficit, he wouldn’t have ventured to Chen Family Village today.
Unexpectedly, Great Landlord Chen gave him a big surprise once more!
For the second ti.
Zhang Yuan, who understands gratitude, plans to burn a basket of gold ingots for this landlord in the future.
To thank him for his generous support!
With this wealth of gold and silver.
Zhang Yuan can purchase higher quality dicinal materials to brew dicinal soup.
Breaking through Tier Two Dark Force is just around the corner!
Apart from gold and silver, the small treasury also contained so account books.
And a thick genealogy book.
Unfortunately, no martial arts secret manuals were found.
As for why a zombie was hiding in the private treasury of Landlord Chen, it’s probably an eternal mystery.
Perhaps it crawled in from underground.
Or there was a body hidden here initially, leading to its mutation from the strange environnt.
Zhang Yuan had no interest in solving the mystery.
He burned those account books and genealogy to return them to the original owner and carried a large box of gold and silver away from Chen Family Ancestral Residence.
Returning to Wu Manor.
Considering that carrying a large box weighing over two hundred pounds directly ho would be too conspicuous.
Zhang Yuan gathered so vines along the way, weaving a large vine basket on the spot.
Placing the gold and silver from the box into the basket.
To avoid drawing attention, Zhang Yuan lined the basket with leaves and weeds, covering the gold and silver with another layer.
He tied it securely with vines.
After ensuring everything was foolproof, he carried the basket ho with Da Hu accompanying him.
He t quite a few people on the way.
But none showed interest in the vine basket on Zhang Yuan’s back or felt any suspicion.
No one else was that idle.
Only when Mother Zhang at ho saw Zhang Yuan return did she curiously ask, "Yuan’er, what did you buy?"
"So materials needed for training."
Zhang Yuan replied with a smile, "I’ve been using them up quickly, so I bought more in town."
He apologized for lying to his mother, as he couldn’t explain the source of the gold and silver otherwise.
"Rather starve than steal, and prefer poverty to servitude."
This was the Zhang Family’s ancestral rule.
Zhang Yuan always rembered it.
So did going to Chen Family Village and scavenging the Chen Family Ancestral Residence’s wealth count as stealing?
Zhang Yuan considered it a decision that "violated the ancestral teachings."
"Ill-gotten gains, taken rightly."
He wasn’t that rigid and impractical!
