Chapter 1130: Chapter 641: Leak
The members of the Ma Family sneaked out of the Devil Wind Forest, dragging fifty custom-made Demon Catching Bags of various sizes.
"Wow~ this time we really hit the jackpot. Besides the twenty specific Demon Clan members for the family, the remaining thirty can sell for almost 20,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones."
"Not only that, but the money the family set aside for the purchase of those twenty Demon Clans... is also ours!"
"A business with no cost and high rewards is truly satisfying!"
"The Demon Clan here is really a bunch of fools. Seeing us from the Human Clan, they actually came up to greet us... hilarious!"
"Our gains are far more than just these tens of thousands of Mid Grade Spirit Stones. Among the captives, we caught a few pure-blooded Demon babies... I think we can put them up for auction, and perhaps one can sell for 10,000!"
"Makes sense; big brother knows business!"
"I’ve just attended a few more auctions to learn... Hey? What do you think... should we come here regularly to catch some Demons to sell on the Spirit Miao Continent? This way we can save money to buy the treasures we truly need without risking life and death in the Legendary Land."
"But the Yang Family... that’s troublesome. This is their territory after all. This time they didn’t see us; next time, who knows... The family collaborates with them a lot, so it’s best not to take risks."
"Speaking of which... Aren’t you curious about what’s happening in Bright City? The Yang Family actually activated the Fifth-grade Array to drive us away, and not a single member of the Yang Family is here in the Devil Wind Forest; it seems they’ve all been called back."
"It is a bit strange now that you mention it..."
"How about we go back and take a look?"
"Hmm... it’s nighttime now. Have your Moon Shadow Beast scout around; its concealment ability at night is strong, unless it’s a Nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise, if it doesn’t attack, no one can detect it."
"Alright!"
A small silver Moon Shadow Beast flew out from Ma Yan’s sleeve and merged with the color of the sky, completely blending in. Even with Divine Sense detection, there was nothing peculiar to be seen.
The Moon Shadow Beast, also known as the Concealer in the Night.
After poaching fifty Demons in the Devil Wind Forest, the Ma Family couldn’t resist their curiosity and decided to investigate Bright City again.
Whoosh~~~
The Moon Shadow Beast arrived outside of Bright City, its sharp eyes emitting starlight.
It used its special vision to observe everything inside Bright City.
After focused observation for a moment... the Moon Shadow Beast shook its head.
"The Fifth-grade Array... even my Racial Talent can’t decipher it."
It could only see dark green light flowing above Bright City, signifying an extremely strong Array.
Just as the Moon Shadow Beast was about to report back to its master, its ears twitched, seemingly catching the sound of conversation nearby.
"Hmm? Who’s there?"
Yet under the dark moonlight, it hadn’t detected anyone around.
Its frontal combat power isn’t strong, with most of its Racial Talent focused on concealment and detection. The people who just avoided its scan were either adept in concealment techniques like a Golden Core Great Cultivator or cultivators wrapped in a top-notch array.
However, it could hear voices without seeing anyone... clearly, it’s neither of these two situations.
The sound seemed vaguely to come from the ground, a pitch-black background... making the Moon Shadow Beast slightly uneasy.
"Could it be some trap specially set by the cultivators of Bright City?"
But its strong curiosity drove it slowly downward, believing that its abilities could escape most traps.
As it neared the ground, it finally found the source of the sound.
In the Spirit Field, three black men were lying on the ground, chatting.
"Hiss~ Such terrifying Racial Talent!"
The Moon Shadow Beast was taken aback, never expecting humans to possess such extraordinary talent!
Their skin blended with the night!
Soon... the Moon Shadow Beast roamed around the Spirit Field, listened to the conversations of these ordinary black men who weren’t even cultivators, pondered, and flew away.
That night, the Ma Family left the Danai Dynasty aboard a Treasure Ship.
...
Legendary Land, White Grain Warehouse.
Where Yang Genshuo could see, everything was safe for now.
After getting past the post station, there were no strong enemies in the subsequent journey.
Some experiences along the way supplemented the background of this story.
In this story, the era was the Danai Dynasty, where the court controlled everything, but plagues, riots, bandits, and such frequently erupted across the lands, creating a grim survival environment for the common people.
The court kept requisitioning resources from the people to supply the front-line troops, and the households selected were called Deregistration Officials.
Those who didn’t meet the quota for supplying grain to the capital faced execution of their entire family.
This was a turbulent era, and one where common people’s survival was arduous.
These were the insights gathered after encountering refugees along the way.
For the next three days, no dangers arose.
"Looks like the pitfalls of the post station aren’t constant... there are plenty of stories and minor opportunities along the journey."
Some refugees actually owned treasures, and satisfying their wishes or completing certain tasks could earn such treasures from them.
"Uh... kinda feels like side quests in a game."
"The gains might not be as significant, but the risks are low, and it’s optional."
Of course, teams like Yang Min, Yang Qiangjin, Yang Zhu, and Yang Zhushuang would generally chat with refugees and try to complete several tasks.
The rewards mostly included Spiritual Materials and Spiritual Medicine, as well as a few Mortal Level Miracle Treasures.
Roughly on the same level as Wisdom Fruit.
"Even a Mortal Level Miracle Treasure is a substantial gain for me... I’ll take as much as I can and use it when I return."
The fruits grown from Blood Wheat Ears were exactly what Yang Genshuo desired.
Yang Min also obtained a treasure named Hungry Ghost Grain, which appeared like a dark lump but could slightly enhance a cultivator’s Comprehension!
It was the first time Yang Genshuo had seen an item that could boost Comprehension.
Though it was Mortal Level, the effect was undoubtedly top-tier!
He believed that Comprehension was inherently fixed, beyond improvement, making this Hungry Ghost Grain incredibly valuable.
"I feel distinctly slow during cultivation, more due to my shallow Spirit Root Talent and inadequate Comprehension... this item, even if I have to shamelessly request it from Yang Min, I must acquire it."
For martial prodigies, a little Comprehension boost might not be significant, but for someone like Yang Genshuo, the slightest improvement could be a massive 10% leap!
Indeed, Yang Genshuo deemed his Comprehension to be possibly just 10 points, akin to an ordinary person’s.
If his Comprehension were higher, he wouldn’t have been tormented by the Heart Demon for 100 days before awakening.
Aside from the leading teams, there was also a team that still hadn’t left the starting point.
Earth and Wood Brother Yang Minke was still in the back, planting fields.
