Entering the Moon Palace was more meaningful than Zhou Yuan had imagined.

At daybreak, Captain Jing'an arranged for his personal guard Jiang Yong to lead a hundred soldiers from the Cavalry Battalion.

They escorted the medicine pestle, medicine jar, and two square-holed coins as big as washbasins and rushed to the Huaizhou camp.

"Zhou Yuan, giving Moon Palace copper coins to comrades can deepen friendships and bring some benefits, but with so many people talking, it's inevitable that the news will leak out.

Therefore, you should donate some of these profits to the governor of Huaizhou so that everyone can enjoy the happiness and joy together."

"Captain, I'm honored to have entered the Moon Palace Secret Realm. Why should I keep these few items? I'd rather give them to my colleagues and comrades to enjoy together."

"Okay, it's enough that you have this intention. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss.

I asked Jiang Yong to bring along the documents documenting your achievements in conquering the secret realm during this period.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the governor of Huaizhou obtains the rare item from the Moon Palace, you will be promoted."

According to the tradition of the Wei Dynasty, children who were not from noble families would not be promoted continuously. After obtaining an official position, there would be a period of stability after each promotion.

But special cases can also be treated specially. For example, if one has sufficient merits and extraordinary talents, and gives some rare items as gifts, the superiors will naturally handle the matter impartially.

To express his gratitude, Zhou Yuan gave the remaining pestle to Captain Jing'an.

Although Captain Jing'an said it was inappropriate, he happily took the two-meter-high white jade pestle after several refusals.

He also said that he would place the Jade Rabbit Medicine Pestle and the Golden Toad Copper Coin in the Government Hall of the Colonel's Mansion to nourish the wealth and longevity of the military fortress.

At this point, Zhou Yuan only had a golden toad copper coin left in his hand as a souvenir.

Even these divine arms masters borrowed the mold, saying that they wanted to use copper liquid to cast a few golden toad copper coins, which they could put at home to attract wealth.

The same thing happened to the Xuanjia soldiers, but they chose to borrow the golden toad copper coin that Zhou Yuan gave to Cai Cheng.

Because there were a large number of Xuanjia soldiers, Cai Cheng had to urge his subordinates to pay back the money after each attack on the secret realm, and then lend the golden toad copper coins to other soldiers.

In the days after the Water Moon Festival, both the military fort and Jing'an City were very peaceful.

Zhou Yuan thus had some free time, and he continued to clear dungeons in the camp with the team. He successfully activated the "Jade Rabbit Medicine Pounding Method" and reached the maximum level.

Since there was no shortage of restorative medicines, he first extracted a bottle of venom, intending to enchant the cone-head arrows produced in the copy.

The source of the drug was Gelsemium elegans, also known as poison hemlock, which was in stock in the camp.

After using the Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine Method to its maximum level, Zhou Yuan obtained a bottle of emerald green transparent liquid.

【Drug: Gelsemium elegans venom】

【Introduction: Slightly sweet, warm in nature, highly toxic, extracted through a pounding method. Highly toxic, no medical effect, can be used to poison weapons】

【Effect: After hitting the target, different degrees of 'poisoning' status will be superimposed based on the size of the meter, causing the target's health to continuously decrease and causing weakness.】

Since poisoning arrows is a skill, simply soaking the arrowhead will not attach much venom.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan went to the metallurgy department in the camp and found a professional arrow hardener to help him apply the poison.

When the craftsman heard his request, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he finally understood.

"Uncle Zhou Du, I'm not bragging, but my skills are a perfect match for a shooter.

If the archer's arrows are not poisoned, they are like the swordsman's sword without a sharp edge."

“There are only two common methods of poisoning used in the camp: one is the adhesive smearing method, and the other is the high-temperature quenching method.

Your batch of arrows are all uniform in size, and the shafts and feathers are of the highest quality. They cannot be heated to high temperatures or quenched in poison."

"I recommend the attachment method. To attach more venom, you can soak the arrow in water and place it in a cool place to allow a thin layer of red rust to form.

Then soak it in venom and dry it in the shade. If you shoot it with an arrow, even gods can’t save you.”

"As the master carpenter says, I will leave these arrows to you. I will reward you handsomely when you cure them."

"Alright, I will definitely return you a batch of killing weapons."

Zhou Yuan gave the arrow quencher three pots of arrows, 60 arrows in each pot, for a total of 180 arrows.

After being poisoned, these arrows shot out from Niutou Village will become powerful weapons that can restrain flesh and blood life.

There was no secret that the battalion's generals were making large-scale improvements to their weapons.

Not long after Zhou Yuan requested that the arrows be poisoned, Captain Jing'an received the news.

After thinking about Zhou Yuan's precise and swift archery skills, he had to admit that poisoning arrows was one of the best ways for Zhou Yuan to improve his strength in the short term.

Therefore, not only did he not ask too many questions, but he also ordered the Quartermaster Department to exchange the return gifts of the Moon Palace Medicine Pestle and copper coins for a batch of Blood Evil Arrows.

When Zhou Yuan got the arrow back, the cone-head arrow that exploded in the Niutou Village dungeon had been renamed.

【Weapon: Rusty Poisoned Cone-Tip Arrow】

【Introduction: The arrowhead will be covered with thin rust, and the gaps will be soaked with Gelsemium, which will superimpose the poisoning status on the target and have a certain chance of causing the infection status.】

Wow, this transformation is really different. Ordinary cone-head arrows can now be used for a lot of things.

In view of this, Zhou Yuan extracted a batch of poisonous herbs such as willow-leaf peach, celery-leaf gelstomium, and castor oil plant from the military supply department, intending to squeeze out a batch of mixed poisons.

This move sent a chill down the spines of the generals in the camp, and they all wondered where the passionate young men had gone and why they suddenly became interested in poisons.

"Captain, Zhou Yuan has been either killing or on his way to killing since he joined the camp, so it's inevitable that he might be a little extreme.

It would be better to take advantage of the time when the warriors from the subordinate counties return to their hometowns and have him lead some soldiers to the local area to quell the banditry."

"That's good. There's a huge difference between leading troops and fighting alone. If he becomes a real general, it can also change his mentality of fighting alone.

Chongyu County is often harassed by pirates, so let him return with Chongyu County Lieutenant Hu Hua."

"It just so happens that the Chongyu County Lieutenant, Hu Hua, is injured and unable to patrol the shores, so I sent Zhou Yuan to dampen the pirates' spirit and let them know the might of the Great Wei."

Zhou Yuan didn't know yet that in order to prevent him from going astray and becoming a poison master in the camp, Captain Jing'an was going to assign him troops and make him a general.

He learned about the commander's proposal at his own promotion dinner.

After receiving the gift, the governor of Huaizhou chose to care for his subordinates and act impartially. He stamped his military seal and promoted Zhou Yuan to the governor of Jing'anqu.

As a result, Zhou Yuan was only one level away from Cai Cheng's military commander. This speed of promotion made the local noble families ashamed.

At the end of the promotion banquet, warriors from various subordinate counties took the opportunity to return the gift of copper coins from the Moon Palace and each gave Zhou Yuan three doses of Yuzhen Powder.

Captain Jing'an not only gave six portions, but also presented a large pot of blood-killing arrows, a total of 60 arrows.

It was at this time that Captain Jing'an talked about leading troops into Chongyu County.

Zhou Yuan thought about going to Chongyu County to play a new copy, so he did not refuse and agreed directly.

"During the Zhou Yuan period, Chongyu County was close to the Qu River, a high river that flowed into the sea. Thieves often used boats to plunder the area near the river and the sea.

When you go to Chongyu County this time, you should ask the county lieutenant Hu Hua for advice and learn some methods of defending the place and suppressing the pirates.

If you go out to guard the area in the future, these methods will still be useful. Otherwise, you will inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to fulfill your responsibilities as a garrison commander."

"Thank you for your guidance, Captain. Yuan Ding sincerely seeks advice and is not arrogant or reckless."
