The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 22 Special Hunting Methods

Li Qin looked at the wild boar not far ahead, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

After all, this was the first time he had used magic on other life forms.

"Change rapidly!"

As the spell was released, the wild boars that were huddled together suddenly staggered.

It wasn't that these wild boars had weak legs, but rather that the soil beneath their feet suddenly loosened, and the land that should have been solid suddenly turned into a swamp.

Several wild boars didn't even have time to react before they fell into the water.

A wild boar, with its limited intelligence, could not possibly comprehend why such a change would occur.

But driven by instinct, they still struggled fiercely.

They wanted to escape from the swamp.

Unfortunately, this swamp was created by Li Qin using a transformation spell; it was not only deep but also very large.

How could a few wild boars possibly escape?

"Piercing arrow!"

Next, Li Qin stood not far away and began to release the arrow-releasing spell.

As the incantation was uttered, a jet-black arrow gleaming with an eerie light appeared out of thin air in front of Li Qin.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the arrow in the air transformed into a black streak of light, instantly piercing the head of the largest wild boar.

The arrow was very powerful; more than half of the nearly half-meter-long arrow pierced the wild boar's skull.

The wild boar, which had been struggling, died instantly the moment its skull was pierced, and stopped struggling.

Seeing how effective the Arrow Release Spell was, Li Qin immediately smiled.

Next, Li Qin used the Arrow Release Spell again and again to send the remaining wild boars away.

After completing these tasks, Li Qin immediately waved his hand.

The ground, which had been turned into a swamp, immediately returned to its original state, and the wild boars that should have sunk into the mud were now lying motionless on the ground.

Each of these wild boars had a black arrow stuck in its head.

Suddenly, Li Qin frowned as he looked at the wild boar;

As is well known, wild boars wear a thick layer of armor to defend themselves against enemies.

The main component of these armors was mud.

Therefore, it is conceivable that wild boars are very dirty.

Earlier, because they were far away and it was getting dark, Li Qin couldn't see very clearly. Now that he was closer, he realized that the wild boar was really dirty and smelly.

"Sweep it all away!"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Li Qin immediately cast a cleansing spell on the wild boars that had already been killed.

As gentle breezes enveloped the wild boars, the mud, leaves, and other debris were quickly removed from their bodies.

When the spell stopped, even the stench emanating from the wild boar disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately showed a satisfied expression.

"Now is not the time to deal with it; let's put it away first."

Although using magic to deal with wild boars is not difficult, it is actually quite simple.

But it does take time.

Li Qin planned to hunt more wild beasts and animals now so he could sell them on the black market at night and increase his wealth.

Therefore, the only option is to store these wild boars in the storage ring.

Fortunately, the space inside the ring is static; it looks exactly the same when you put it in as when you take it out.

And it won't miss the best time to process it.

After putting away the wild boar, Li Qin's figure instantly disappeared from the original spot and reappeared in another place.

Not far from him, there were still several wild boars of various sizes.

Having gained experience once, Li Qin was much more adept at handling things the next time.

With a wave of his hand, the Polymorph spell was activated, and the trees around the wild boar instantly transformed into sturdy ropes, binding the nearby wild boar tightly.

Then, Li Qin elegantly used the Arrow Release Spell to end the lives of the wild boars.

Finally, use the Cleanse spell to clean the boar's body.

Then store it in your storage ring.

After completing these steps, Li Qin used the teleportation technique to appear in another location in the mountains.

And so, very quickly, many more things appeared inside Li Qin's ring;

Wild boars, wolves, deer, rabbits, and pheasants of all sizes.

"That should be enough. It's about time to go back."

Li Qin examined the many prey inside the ring and a smile appeared on his face.

"Illusionary Body Charm!"

He first cast a Disguise Spell on himself to conceal his form, and then used Apparition to return directly to Beijing.

Previously, Li Qin was unable to teleport directly from the capital to the mountains because he had never been to Baihua Mountain in western Beijing.

But going back is much simpler.

With a soft "pop" sound, Li Qin was back in Beijing, and Tongluoguxiang was not far away.

It was already dark when Li Qin found a dimly lit alley and slipped inside, then dispelled the illusion curse.

Then, carrying a worn-out box, he slowly walked towards the courtyard house at No. 95 Tongluoguxiang.

But just as Li Qin took two steps, he suddenly stopped.

Li Qin glanced at his still clean and tidy clothes.

"Transform instantly!"

next second.

Li Qin's clothes had become worn and covered in dust.

This wasn't because Li Qin had any quirks; he simply had no choice but to do it.

He said he was going to find work when he left home this morning.

What he could find were mostly physically demanding jobs.

If I go back now dressed neatly, anyone with eyes can tell there's something wrong.

Only by returning looking like this can I avoid attracting the attention and suspicion of others.

After disguising himself, Li Qin walked towards the courtyard house again.

It was already evening, and Li Qin had thought he could go straight back to his home in the courtyard house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they saw the third uncle, Yan Bugui, tending to the flowers and plants in front of his house.

Upon seeing Li Qin, and especially upon seeing the box in Li Qin's hand, Yan Bugui immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"Xiao Li, you're back from work!"

Li Qin smiled and nodded to Yan Bugui:

"Yes, I'm back!"

"Xiao Li, what's in the box you're carrying?"

Knowing Yan Bugui's personality, Li Qin naturally understood that the moment Yan Bugui saw him, his target was the box in his hand.

Yan Bugui considered himself a scholar and believed that he should not be too straightforward in his words and actions, which is why he took the initiative to greet him.

This can be considered a case of "courtesy first, then force".

Upon seeing Yan Bugui, Li Qin recalled the incident of unleashing his emotional power on the man that morning, and a restless feeling stirred within him.

However, I thought I couldn't just fleece one person to death;

In addition, Li Qin had been busy all day and was feeling a bit tired, so he suppressed his impulse.

I don't intend to tease Yan Bugui.

He then answered politely and respectfully:

"These are some slightly damaged items I picked out from the recycling center this afternoon. Many of the old ones at home are no longer usable."

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a look of disappointment flashed across Yan Bugui's face.

At the same time, a system notification appeared in Li Qin's mind;

[Emotional Power +20]

Li Qin's expression froze instantly, and then he looked at Yan Bugui in front of him with a strange and complicated look.

"You truly live up to your reputation, Yan Bugui."

Li Qin immediately realized that the other party was releasing emotional energy because they realized there was no benefit to be gained.
