Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 337 The Special Envoy Arrived from the Air

Governor Ding Zhan led Cao Erdan into his office.

Open an iron gate:

"Come on, these are all the good stuff we've confiscated. You can take two items as a reward, but let's make it clear, only two. Don't be greedy, or I won't be able to explain it!"

Giving Cao Erdan a material reward is already an exception.

Because everything confiscated at the imperial gates becomes public property.

Those who make contributions will be awarded medals and certificates, and at most, cash rewards or salary increases.

Most of these practitioners don't have a strong concept of money.

They place more emphasis on cultivation techniques, secret manuals, magical treasures, and elixirs.

Cao Erdan also realized that Song Changli and Ji Feng were both there for the ideal of justice.

To put it bluntly, they've been brainwashed.

They'd be overjoyed to receive a medal.

There aren't many people who can benefit as much as Cao Erdan.

Enter Ding Zhan's small warehouse.

There are quite a lot of things displayed inside.

Various divine weapons, rare and precious treasures, and martial arts manuals.

They're all enclosed in glass cases, like a museum.

All the functional descriptions are pasted on the outside of the glass cover.

As soon as Cao Erdan went inside, he was drawn to something inside a sealed glass case.

A big, white jade-like melon?

Cao Erdan couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"This is considered a treasure?"

Ding Zhan laughed:

"Brother, don't underestimate this thing. It's an ancient species that's now extinct."

This was brought out by someone from a mysterious place a hundred years ago.

Its greatest benefit is that it can help women's breasts develop faster.

In other words, it has miraculous effects on breast enhancement!

Cao Erdan also laughed:

"Shouldn't you be developing a beauty and body care business? Why stay here?"

"Because it is rare, it is precious. Our predecessors preserved it in a vacuum, hoping it would be useful to future generations."

Cao Erdan shook his head with a smile.

She thought to herself, even if it could make breasts bigger, it wouldn't be a real treasure.

I can also stimulate women's breast development with my dragon energy.

However, this thing is useless. If I could grow it on a large scale, it would be a good way to make money.

She didn't tell Ding Zhan that she had gained a lot of Yu Xiang milk melons in the alkaline soil.

Then look down.

I won't use the cultivation technique for now. My cultivation of dragon energy is not yet complete, so why bother cultivating something else?

Cao Erdan walked forward.

I was drawn to a row of swords.

These swords each have a name and vary in length.

However, they were all chillingly cold, and absolutely sharp blades.

Seeing him examining the sword, Ding Zhan nodded in agreement:

"Little Cao, you're an expert! These are the ten most famous swords of ancient times. If you choose a weapon from here, it can only be borrowed by you. It cannot be registered under your name. That is to say, you can use it, but you can't sell it or lose it!"

Cao Erdan laughed:

Do I look like someone who would sell their belongings for money?

So they looked at them one by one.

Pick one up and read the following description:

The Longyuan Sword was forged by the master swordsmith Ou Yezi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

After the sword is completed, looking down at its blade is like looking down from a high mountain into a deep abyss; it is ethereal and profound, as if a giant dragon is coiled within it.

Hence the name "Dragon Abyss Sword".

Cao Erdan then picked up a short sword from the side.

It was also made by Ou Yezi.

It was cast using tin from Mount Chijin and copper from the Ruoye Creek, and after being sprinkled by rain and struck by lightning, it absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and was originally nameless.

Later, Zhuan Zhu hid this sword inside a fish's belly to assassinate King Liao, and it was later named "Fish Intestine Sword".

The Fish Intestine Sword is also known as the "Sword of Unparalleled Courage".

Cao Erdan liked every single one of the sharp blades.

However, one cannot have both.

So he took the small, delicate Fish Intestine Sword and put it into his storage ring.

After seeing Cao Erdan's storage ring, Ding Zhan became more cautious.

They were afraid that if they weren't careful, Cao Erdan would secretly take some treasures away from here.

Of the two things agreed upon, Cao Erdan chose one more.

It is a pill called Lao Jun Dan.

It wasn't that Laozi was a novice at refining it, but it's said to be an elixir refined using Laozi's Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace.

The Bagua Purple Gold Furnace contains the Six Ding Divine Fire, one of the Four Great Heavenly Fires.

It is far more powerful than the alchemy equipment in Shennong Cauldron.

This blackened pill is known only for its ancient history, but no one knows its efficacy.

However, Cao Erdan had a keen eye.

See through the dark exterior to discover the dazzling brilliance within.

It must be a treasure.

So they chose this pill.

Ding Zhan gave a thumbs up:

"Young Cao has a good eye. This pill helps to enhance one's true energy, even more so than divine weapons."

He then added:

"However, you should be careful when taking it, after all, it was left over from ancient times, and I don't know if you can resist its domineering effects."

To be frank, he seriously doubted whether the pill had expired or spoiled.

Will it cause any side effects?

However, Cao Erdan does have a good eye.

A pill with a subtle, restrained radiance must be a really good thing.

The two men emerged from the secret warehouse.

Ding Zhan led him to the conference room.

It's not for a meeting; it's to introduce him to the middle management.

As soon as I entered, there were about twenty people inside.

He is the responsible official in charge of various places in Nantong Prefecture.

Song Changli was already considered young among these people.

When Cao Erdan came in, he felt like he had entered a community recreation room.

There wasn't a single man or woman of the same age.

When everyone saw Ding Zhan bring Cao Erdan in, they thought he was Ding Zhan's son.

"Greetings, Governor!"

Everyone gathered around to greet them.

Ding Zhan asked everyone to sit down:

"Let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Cao Erdan, the newly arrived special envoy from Nantong City!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Song Changli expressed surprise.

"Huh? What? The position of special envoy has already been decided?"

One special envoy per continent—this is the new policy proposed by General Dingguo.

The special envoy's authority is to assist the governor, and he is one rank higher than everyone else present.

As soon as this position became available, everyone coveted it.

In the end, no one got to see it; it was all done by a little kid.

Nobody knows where he came from.

They just appeared out of nowhere and landed right in front of everyone.

This inevitably aroused suspicion among the crowd:

"Who is he? Is he the son of some leader?"

"I've never heard of a leader with the surname Cao in our 'Royal Gate'!"

"You're so stupid. Couldn't it be the child of a leader from another department, someone they could arrange to go through the motions at the Imperial Palace?"

"Yes, yes, that makes sense. Then the children of the leaders in the imperial family are parachuted into other departments to become officials!"

"Hey Lao Zhang, wasn't your son the one you got into the Safety Management Bureau? He became a team leader in just one year. Could he have done that without your connections?"

Ding Zhan frowned.

To question Cao Erdan is to show a lack of trust in oneself!

He quickly said:

"Everyone should not doubt Comrade Cao's background. He is just a boy from the countryside. He was promoted out of turn because of his outstanding abilities!"

"Outstanding abilities? How outstanding are they?"

Everyone became even more suspicious.

If Cao Erdan were a leader's son who was parachuted in, that would be somewhat convincing.

You're saying a twenty-year-old kid, who hasn't even graduated from college yet, has outstanding abilities?

Is it the ability to give gifts?

Even if they're from rural areas, they're probably children from wealthy families.

However, since it wasn't the leader's family's property, many people amplified their voices:

"What abilities does he possess that surpass those of all of us here?"

"Yes, what level is he in the Martial Realm? What major cases has he solved?"

A burly, strong man was the first to object and stood up.
