Chapter 107: 074: Even if there are drinks to share among people, how can they compare to the fountain of immortality (Big Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_3 Chapter 107: 074: Even if there are drinks to share among people, how can they compare to the fountain of immortality (Big Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_3 When dealing with a demonic beast of a lower realm, one can handle it, but cannot necessarily kill it with certainty, especially if it is the formidable Green Backed Water Spider.
Chen Dengming’s peculiar yet exceedingly powerful style of combat, which had shocked him considerably in the past half-month, was something he also wanted to adopt.
However, beyond adjusting his positioning, most of the astonishing tactics seemed to be unique and inimitable.
Seeing that Chu Xun should be fine and would soon be able to deal with the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer spider demon, Chen Dengming couldn’t be bothered to intervene anymore.
He pulled out a low-quality Spirit Stone from his storage bag, quickly replenishing almost half of the depleted spiritual energy.
Chen Dengming’s gaze then became sharp as a knife, sweeping across the distant forest.
Rushing sounds——
In an instant, the aura in the woods began to fluctuate.
...
Several cultivators quickly emerged, from a distance, observing Chen Dengming with smiling faces while expressing respect, indicating that they were merely onlookers and bore no ill will.
They immediately moved away, their hearts pounding with fear.
Chen Dengming calmly withdrew his gaze, his mind moved, and two Gu Worms, which had been lurking in the distance, flew back.
“Buzzing!——”
The Golden Silkworm and the Blood Centipede traced two arcs and excitedly approached the demonic spider’s corpse, starting to indulge themselves.
These two Gu Worms, which had eaten many demonic beasts in the past half month, now exuded a stronger aura, seeming to be on the brink of a breakthrough.
However, for now, these two Gu Worms could handle the higher realm cultivators, but facing beasts with thick hides and poisonous resistance like the demonic beasts, they inflicted limited damage and were easily injured.
Chen Dengming rarely used these two Gu Worms when dealing with demonic beasts.
Before long.
Chu Xun had successfully killed the spider demon.
This hunt yielded a Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer and a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer spider demon.
Along with the two previously killed, they had successfully completed the Ming family’s task.
A Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer spider demon is as dangerous as three or four ordinary spider demons.
Only with it gone could they ensure safety near the Moonlight Market.
“Brother Chen, this highrealm spider demon’s corpse is definitely worth a lot, definitely more than fifteen mid-level spiritual stones.
Do you really plan to trade it to the Ming family for a discount?”
At this moment, Chu Xun moved closer, seeming to feel a bit distressed for Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming gave Chu Xun a sideways glance, “Otherwise?
I didn’t kill enough spider demons to meet my quota, so if I don’t trade this one to the Ming family, I’ll still fall short.
I’ll just have to accept any loss.”
Chu Xun murmured, “But it’s more than just a little loss, it’s a big loss.
Why not do it this way, let me help you inquire around and see if there are any other cultivators willing to sell their spider demon corpses.
We can buy a few, and we can then sell this big guy ourselves.”
“Forget it.
I’ll talk to the Ming family later and try to get a good price.”
Chen Dengming shook his head.
He knew Chu Xun was trying to calculate for him.
After all, they had agreed earlier that Chen Dengming would keep all the spider corpses they hunted.
Even if he sold the high-ranking demonic beast’s corpse, Chu Xun wouldn’t benefit, but he still chose not to bother.
Selling to the Ming family at half price would indeed be a big loss.
But trying to find other cultivators in the market to purchase the spider demons’ corpses may not necessarily be smooth.
And even if it did go smoothly, it would still be full price to purchase, and half price to sell to the Ming family.
In this case, he might only earn five additional mid-rank Spirit Stones.
Five mid-rank Spirit Stones is indeed a considerable sum, but it’s not necessary to go to all this trouble and annoy the Ming family.
Contentment brings abundance in the world, while greed limits the universe.
Disaster stems from desire, while blessings arise from self-restraint.
Everything in moderation—greedily wanting to have it all, like attempting to win every opponent’s bet at the gambling table, can often result in vomiting up more in the end.
…
The bodies of the two demonic spiders were too big.
Fortunately, Chu Xun’s knife skills, honed by his work as a butcher, were up to the task.
After some processing, the bodies of the two spiders had shrunk by half and were easily packed into Chen Dengming’s eight-meter-square storage bag.
The two set off posthaste.
Chen Dengming decided to make a detour to Le Mountain Gully, some two hundred miles away.
Since the Luo Family settled there and built a new market, despite the lack of spirit veins, their considerable Daoism techniques and magic artifacts attracted a lot of cultivators.
Naturally, the Luo Family did this to attract a large number of cultivators and enlist some of them to quickly bolster their familial power, to replace the talents lost in previous battles.
Granted, even if these guest cultivators signed the Dao Heart Contract, they might not be too reliable.
During a previous internal family battle, numerous guests in the Luo Family were willing to bear the cost of violating the Dao Heart Contract rather than die for the Luo Family.
When danger loomed, everyone flew away.
However, having numerous guest cultivators could at least lead to many contributions to the normal growth of the family.
They didn’t always have to be involved in life-or-death battles.
“Brother Chen, don’t you have a Daoist partner or lover in Luo Family Market?
If you can detour two hundred miles…
this…
haha, this can be referred to as going around, right?”
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
In the sky above the forest, Chen Dengming and Chu Xun were navigating using their magic artifacts.
Chu Xun, grinning with an ‘I understand you’ look on his face, snickered.
Chen Dengming rolled his eyes, “She isn’t exactly a Daoist partner.
She’s just a friend who helped me out when I was at my weakest.
Life hasn’t been good for her lately; I just want to give a little help.
I did mention it to you when we were passing by here yesterday…
”
Dengming seemed suspicious, “Is your friend reliable?
Did he really deliver my letter?”
“Of course, he did.
Would he dare to play any tricks on me?”
Chu Xun glared, then immediately giggled, pointing with his little finger, “Brother Chen, in your presence I am just …
but in my presence, Fellow Daoist Liu is also just…”
He looked triumphant, brandishing his little finger and boasting, “When I fought demons and beasts years ago, he stood aside, just like us today.
His admiration for me is just like my admiration for Brother Chen…”
“Enough with the drivel!” Chen Dengming grumbled, “Since there’s nothing wrong with the arrangement, let’s fly quickly.
After you meet my friend on my behalf and hand over the things, we will leave quickly.”
As soon as he spoke, his saber flashed and his escape speed accelerated rapidly, breaking through the air and speeding away.
Chu Xun immediately followed, jokingly teasing, “Brother Chen, why are you in such a hurry to leave?
I, Chu, have nothing particular to attend to, I can wait for your reunion tonight, so you don’t have to worry about going too early….”
Swish-
A sudden golden spear shot from the front, frightening Chu Xun into dodging quickly and immediately shutting his mouth and shaking his head with a self-ridiculing laugh.
He knew that Chen’s relationship with that friend was probably uncertain, but it had likely gone far beyond ordinary friendship, and was concerned about it.
But judging by the intensity of Chen’s cultivation and his demonstrated talent, which beauty among the loose cultivators would be able to take his hand and laugh at the world?
That shabby friend in the Luo family, who used to be a maid, will undoubtedly be left behind in the future, eventually becoming a regret.
Who knows the intentions of the fairy, on the rotating dance of green pheasants and white cranes?
Even with toasts in the human world, how can it compare to the spring of eternal life…?
