Chapter 3954 Two Uses
Having done so much business, it's a great regret of mine that Mr. Zhou's matter wasn't resolved properly.
However, I will always keep this in mind. As long as I can find Huo Qingfeng's whereabouts, I will definitely go and take his life.
We rested for one night at Chen Shengcai's place, and the next morning we boarded a plane and headed straight for Yanbei.
After landing, we went straight back to the courtyard house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the slovenly Taoist priest shouted to the neighbor next door, beckoning Eighth Master over.
It was the same old routine. First, I showered him with compliments, making Eighth Master very happy. Then I told him about our trip to the Philippines, mainly about Chi Lang. He ate a whole bunch of those Demon Cage Grass fruits in one go. I wonder if it will have any major impact on him in the future.
Upon hearing the disheveled Taoist get down to business, Eighth Master immediately flew around Chi Lang and landed on his head to carefully sense his condition before saying, "This kid has turned misfortune into blessing. He squandered all the powerful energy contained in the Demon Cage Grass fruit at once, which was quite a waste. If we bring those fruits over and refine them, it will greatly help improve the cultivation of all of you."
At this point, Eighth Master paused for a moment, then continued, "However, this is not a bad thing for Chilang. Some of the energy from the fruits of those Demon Cage Grasses still remains in his body. Over time, this energy can help him improve his cultivation."
"Eighth Master, won't this harm his body?" Brother Gu was a little worried.
"That won't happen. He's already absorbed some of the energy from all those Demon Cage Grass fruits. After a while, his cultivation will improve significantly, and you'll see then," Eighth Master said with a smile.
At this moment, the slovenly Taoist priest took out the fruits of the Demon Cage Grass that he had found in the Chilang Sword Box from his Qiankun Eight Treasures Pouch: "Eighth Master, I still have some Demon Cage Grass fruits here. See if they are of any use."
Brother Gu also took out the fruits of the Demon Cage Grass he had obtained: "Eighth Master, I have some here too."
Seeing the fruits of the Demon Cage Grass in their hands, Eighth Master chuckled: "I knew you rascals were always thieves who never left empty-handed. You'd pluck a few hairs from a mouse if it passed by you. These Demon Cage Grass fruits are certainly useful, but I wonder what you plan to do with them?"
Upon hearing this, we looked at each other, all eager to learn.
"Eighth Master, what are the uses of the fruit of this Demon Cage Grass?" I asked, very curious.
"The fruit of this Demon Cage Grass actually has two uses. One is to refine it into pills, which can give you a burst of power in a short time, allowing your cultivation to reach its peak. The other is to directly improve your cultivation. For people like Yuan Kong and Wu Jie, the improvement won't be significant because their cultivation levels are already quite high. However, for Xiao Pang and Xiao Gu, it can greatly improve their cultivation." Eighth Master patiently explained.
"Eighth Master, then please help us refine these Demon Cage Grass pills according to our individual circumstances. There are fifteen fruits in total. How would you like to distribute them?" the slovenly Taoist priest said again.
After thinking it over carefully, Eighth Master said, "Here's what we'll do. Apart from Chi Lang, each of you will have two pills. Yuan Kong, Xiao Jie, Kasang, and Xiao Zhang, you can all use them to refine short-term explosive pills. The rest of you can use them to improve your cultivation. As for Chi Lang, he hasn't digested the fruit of the Demon Cage Grass in his body yet, so let's refine a short-term explosive pill for him too."
"Alright, alright, we'll do as Eighth Master says. You're such a good man, Eighth Master. With you here, we'll make a name for ourselves in the martial world sooner or later. We'll all remember your kindness." The slovenly Taoist priest continued to flatter him.
"As long as you don't embarrass Eighth Master in public, I don't want you brats to remember my kindness." Eighth Master rolled his eyes at the slovenly Taoist priest.
Next, Eighth Master gave me a prescription and asked me to buy some precious herbs to use in conjunction with the fruit of the Demon Cage Grass for refining.
These guys are definitely not going to leave; they're all waiting to refine the pills and divide the spoils.
I instructed everyone to split up and go buy the necessary herbs, and they brought back all kinds of herbs that same day.
It will take at least a week to refine these pills, but we're not in a hurry.
The very next day after I finished refining the elixir, the slovenly Taoist priest asked me to share the money in front of everyone.
I feigned ignorance: "What money? Master Zhou took over Boss Zhou's business, and I handled breaking Huo Qingfeng's feng shui formation all by myself. You want a share of this money too? We haven't even caught Huo Qingfeng, and we haven't found the treasure vault of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary's lair..."
"Don't give me that crap. You secretly hid the Blood Priest's scepter. Don't think I didn't see it. That scepter is covered in gems. Even if you just took it off and sold the gems, you could probably make a lot of money." The slovenly Taoist priest grabbed my arm and said.
I thought I had done something completely undetected, but it turns out that slovenly Taoist priest had been watching me all along.
They call themselves good brothers, but they treat me like a thief, and I can't take advantage of them at all.
“Brother Wu, that’s not fair of you. The brothers are risking their lives for you, and you’re hiding treasures from them.” Chi Lang added fuel to the fire.
"You two from the Maoshan Sect, bullying a sect leader like me, a member of the Qimen Sect, is there no law left?" I said helplessly.
"Xiao Jie, stop hiding it. What's the use of keeping it? Even if you sell it for a high price, those old men will just swindle it away. Why don't we brothers split it?" Brother Gu chimed in.
I didn't know what to say, so I took out the scepter that Mabarak used.
Meanwhile, the slovenly Taoist priest had already called Sister Hua out of the house and asked her to give us an estimate.
When Sister Hua saw the scepter inlaid with gems, her eyes lit up immediately. She held it in her hand and examined it carefully before saying to us, "This is a good thing. The gems on the scepter are not only for decoration, but can also enhance the cultivation of cultivators. This scepter is similar to the Heavenly Swamp Spear of Xiao Jie. It would be a pity to sell such a treasure. You should keep it for yourselves."
Upon hearing this, we looked at each other in bewilderment. Who would be the most suitable person to use this thing?
Soon, I had an idea and looked directly at Yuan Kong: "Isn't this magic artifact very suitable for Yuan Kong?"
