Chapter 515 – Part-time Workers
Chapter 515 – Part-time Work Fellow Sect
“I also don’t know what will pop out of this dark red stone ……”
Lu Xuan came in front of the Flesh Spirit God who had finished eating the blood and flesh of the Green Cunning Elephant, and under his mind’s perception, the dark red stone still transmitted a hungry thought to him.
“This little evil spirit, its appetite is just too big.”
Lu Xuan sighed, and a thought that he couldn’t afford to feed it arose in his heart.
Of the many spiritual plants in the netherworld’s small courtyard, the Blood Sinner Flower, due to its relatively earliest planting time, had always had enough blood vessels of Jiaolong Essence, so it had the shortest time before it was fully matured, and Lu Xuan estimated that the progress bar would be drawn up within a few months to bring about the mass of light.
In addition, the Different Longevity Peach had also entered its ripening period, with a tantalizing milky aroma, the sight of the Spirit Peach would make one unable to resist the thought of devouring it.
There was also the fourth-grade Obscene Wormwood, which had similarly entered the slow maturation stage.
“After the three types of netherworld spirit plants mature, the courtyard will be much emptier, and there will be a large enough space to cultivate them.”
Lu Xuan lamented, activating the Illusory Five Elements Formation to securely protect the small courtyard, harnessing his flying sword, and returning to the sect.
Entering the Inner Sect, as soon as he arrived near the cave, Lu Xuan noticed two fellow Late Foundation Establishment Sect members standing guard at the foot of the mountain.
“Senior Brother Lu, you’re finally back!”
“I heard Senior Brother Ge Park say that you had some business in Sword Gate Town and would be back soon, so we’ve been waiting for you here at your cave residence for quite a while.”
When the two saw Lu Xuan, their eyes lit up and they flew out a few summoning talismans, rushing towards Lu Xuan.
In an instant, they arrived beside Lu Xuan, pinning him down with one left and one right, fearing that he would disappear.
“What are the names of the two senior brothers? What is the reason for being so enthusiastic towards Lu?”
Lu Xuan asked in disbelief.
“My name is Qiu Yong, with a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, I’ve heard of Senior Brother Lu’s great name for a long time.”
“Zhao Huaguang, also at the late Foundation Establishment stage, is the same Dan Palace disciple as you, Master Lu, only that you, Master Lu, have been living in deep seclusion and have never had the chance to meet.”
“Senior Brother Qiu, good day Senior Brother Zhao.”
Lu Xuan arched his hand and saluted.
“Senior Brother Lu, do you remember the Demonic Beast Quest you posted earlier in the Concourse Hall? We both came here for that.”
“The two senior brothers hunted a fourth grade demonic beast so quickly?”
Lu Xuan said with some surprise, Fourth Grade Demonic Beasts were not that common and were quite tricky to cope with, he didn’t expect that the mission hadn’t been released for a long time before two of his fellow disciples came over to collect their rewards.
“With the Fourth Grade Dust Cleansing Pill as the reward for the quest, it has to be completed as soon as possible.”
“It’s not just the two of us, there are also the rest of the fellow disciples who have also completed that quest, it’s just that the number of fourth-grade demonic beasts hunted and killed is a bit less.”
“Worthy of being a late stage Foundation Establishment Senior Brother, so strong, Mister Lu admires it.”
Lu Xuan casually complimented, welcoming the two into the cave.
He was about to go to the house to bring out spirit fruits and make a pot of hot tea when the two hurriedly stopped them.
“Senior Brother Lu, there’s no need to be so courteous, come and change the Dust Cleansing Pills for us first, lest the number of pills might not be enough when the other fellow disciples arrive later.”
The Fourth Grade Dust Cleansing Pill was already valuable, and in today’s environment where evil spirits were everywhere, it was even more immensely popular amongst the cultivators.
Anyone would want to have one to remove the evil spirit’s aura at critical moments, weakening the evil spirit’s bizarre abilities and saving their lives.
“Alright, please two senior brothers take out your demonic beast’s blood and flesh, there is still a process that should be followed.”
Lu Xuan laughed helplessly when he saw the two men looking so monkeyish.
Spiritual light surfaced in the hands of the two, and the corpses of nearly ten Fourth Grade Demonic Beasts immediately appeared in the courtyard, each of which had a not-so-small size and a rich amount of meat.
“Senior Brother Lu, the three heads over here are mine, please also verify them.”
Zhao Huiguang took the lead.
The rule set by Lu Xuan earlier, that three fourth grade demonic beast corpses could be exchanged for a fourth grade Dust Cleansing Pill, might not seem too fair, but there was another mystery involved.
He allowed the cultivator receiving the task to pick the most elite spot on the demonic beast corpse on his own. This caused the crowd to rush even more.
The best part of a demonic beast’s body was often worth the rest of the body, where could one find such a good thing as exchanging the blood and flesh of a relatively less useful demonic beast for a rare Dust Cleansing Pill?
Lu Xuan carefully examined the three differently shaped demonic beast corpses and handed Zhao Huaguang a Dust Cleansing Pill.
“Senior Brother Lu, I have six fourth grade demonic beast corpses here.”
Qiu Yong said rather proudly.
“Senior Brother Qiu was actually able to capture and kill so many Fourth Grade Demonic Beasts.”
Seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, and there were a few moments of surprise in his tone of voice kind of.
“I teamed up with two of my fellow disciples and together we smashed a demonic beast nest, which is how I got them.”
Qiu Yong explained.
The demonic beast corpses that the two of them had taken out happened to be both multiples of three, and they had specifically come over to exchange for the Dust Cleansing Pill in Lu Xuan’s hands.
“Senior brother, take it.”
Lu Xuan handed the two clear and translucent pills to Qiu Yong.
“It is indeed the Dust Cleansing Pill.”
Qiu Yong carefully put the pills away and said joyfully.
“Senior Brother Lu, how long will that demonic beast mission of yours last? If it’s long, I can go get a few more and trade them with you for the Dust Cleansing Pill or other treasures.”
Zhao Huiguang suddenly asked.
“It will remain for the time being, however, I only have a few Dust Cleansing Pills in my hand, so I’ll cancel the mission after I’m about to finish exchanging them, so as not to disappoint my fellow disciples who brought in the corpses of the demonic beasts.”
“That means there’s still a chance to get the Dust Cleansing Pill?”
“For now it is possible.”
Lu Xuan smiled.
“Good, then I’ll go kill a few more demonic beasts here!”
The two of them sniffed, energized, and refused Lu Xuan’s line to stay down to enjoy the Spirit Fruits, Spirit Tea, and directly left the cave.
“The two senior brothers are really too eager, senior brother I can only wish you guys to hunt and kill enough demonic beasts soon and return safely.”
Lu Xuan sent the two to the outside of the cave mansion and sincerely wished.
Only when the silhouettes of the two disappeared from the sky did he return to the cave.
“Having so many of my fellow disciples working hard for me to hunt down demonic beasts is really overwhelming.”
Lu Xuan shook his head and lamented as he put a large pile of demonic beast blood and meat from the small courtyard into his Taolu Bug Sac.
After the two had left, upon learning of Lu Xuan’s return, there were soon another fellow disciples who came to visit one after another, but their strength was a step weaker than these two, and they had basically come over to exchange for the Sword Nurturing Gourd in Lu Xuan’s hands.
Only the three of them had joined forces to exchange away another Dust Cleansing Dan, and how it was subsequently distributed would have nothing to do with Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan had gotten a large amount of high-grade demonic beast blood and flesh at once, and his confidence in birthing the Flesh Spirit God had increased by a few points.
After the fervor of exchanging for the demonic beasts, the cave returned to its previous cold and quiet state, and Lu Xuan then had the time to come to the spiritual field to inspect the detailed status of the many spiritual plants in the spiritual field.
All the spiritual plants were growing well, Lu Xuan quieted his mind and sensed carefully, satisfying the subtle needs of each and every one of them.
“Huh? I haven’t been back for a while, but there’s actually a Hidden Yuan Grass that has matured?”
Lu Xuan squatted down and looked at an unassuming, weed-like Hidden Yuan Grass beside his feet, his heart rejoicing.
Below the Hidden Yuan Grass, the nearly transparent progress bar had been completely drawn up, waiting for Lu Xuan to pick it.
