Chapter 112 A Large Amount of Spiritual Stones
"My two Taoist friends, what a great time!"
Turning around, they saw Shi Fenyue smiling and bowing to them.
Xu Feng and Luo Xinran did not dare to neglect and also bowed back.
"My master just called me over to learn about what happened along the way. I just finished. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"How dare I? Since it was a Foundation Establishment Senior who summoned us, he must be asking about something important. It's only right for us to wait."
The two sides exchanged a few polite words and came to an open area on the shore to talk.
"This demonic chaos is more serious than we thought.
Of the 300 monks who entered the mountain, less than one-tenth came back alive.
Our team is still good, while some teams were wiped out."
Hearing this, Luo Xinran interrupted:
"Fellow Daoist Shi, isn't there still two days left before the one-month deadline?
Maybe there are many fellow Daoists on their way to the gathering now!"
Hearing her words, Shi Fenyue smiled and said:
"It would be great if that were the case, but there is little hope.
According to my master, the three of us are the only team that returned in the past two days.
And it was early in the morning when we came back, and now it's late at night, and no other team has returned. I'm afraid there is little hope of returning."
This caused the three people to be silent for a while.
But Xu Feng didn't care too much about these things, but wanted to know when he could go back.
"Don't worry, it should be soon.
When the one-month deadline is up and we have collected enough information about the Demon Sect, these foundation-building seniors of the Tianjian Sect will return with us."
"Don't you want to search in the mountains?"
As soon as Luo Xinran asked this question, she was amused.
The same was true for Xu Feng.
Before entering the mountain, he was still looking forward to meeting his master and future master's wife in the mountains.
But after actually entering the mountain, he realized how ridiculous this idea was. There were hundreds and thousands of miles around, monsters were rampant, and there was no trace of people. It was as difficult as ascending to heaven to find someone.
This is just an example of Lingxiao Mountain. If the interior of the Wanshan Mountains, which he had set foot in, was also included, then the range would be dozens of times larger.
If you want to find a group of demon cultivators who are not sure whether they are still there in such a large area, you need to send in at least tens of thousands of cultivators.
It is obvious that the Tianjian Sect cannot make such a big move, otherwise it will not send a few hundred cultivators in this valley.
"So does the monster hunting competition among the three families still count?"
Recalling the reason for the operation, Luo Xinran asked.
"I also asked Master about this. Logically, the results of the competition do not count when encountering such an emergency.
But considering that the entire team was attacked.
After discussing with the second elder of the Liu family and the deputy head of the Tiangang Sect, my master unanimously agreed to the result of this competition."
When Luo Xinran talked about this, her expression was very happy. It seemed that the loose cultivator alliance she belonged to should have the advantage.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, then the competition among the captains of the ten teams within the alliance also counts?"
Xu Feng also asked.
"Yes." Speaking of this, Shi Fenyue was even happier.
"There are only three team leaders who have returned safely this time, and one of them even lost his storage bag, so he was eliminated.
The one competing with me for the first place is a male cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He has four surviving team members, which is much more than us.
However, they didn't hunt many monsters or pick many spiritual medicines, so my harvest alone is almost more than their total."
Speaking of this, her eyes swept towards the waists of the two people in a very obscure way.
Xu Feng naturally understood her implication and reached out to pull Luo Xinran.
Then he took off all the storage bags containing monster materials and spiritual medicines and handed them to Shi Fenyue.
As for the Jade Spirit Fruit and Soul-Nourishing Grass, he definitely didn't hand them over. These things are too precious. Taking out any of them would cause an uproar.
After taking over the six bulging storage bags, Shi Fenyue's mouth was about to grin to the back of his head. He said goodbye to the two and left in a hurry.
"Xiaofeng, I think we should have less contact in the future."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because she is too utilitarian, I am afraid of being at a disadvantage by dealing with her."
In fact, Xu Feng also had this feeling. He always felt that this person was too purposeful in doing things. If he was not careful, he might be used as a gun by her.
"Don't worry, I won't have a deep relationship with her. Even if we have contact, it's just for profit.
After all, we live in Tianyunfang City, and we will have more or less contact with the three forces. It's not bad to have an acquaintance, just in case something happens in the future?"
"Is this the final reason why you are determined to save her?"
Luo Xinran asked with her head tilted.
"Why? Do you think I am also utilitarian?"
Xu Feng asked with a smile.
"No, as long as it is your decision, I think it's good."
The two of them were so passionate that they were about to kiss each other under the hazy moonlight.
Suddenly, a scream sounded.
"Oh, I didn't disturb you two Taoist friends, did I?"
It turned out that Shi Fenyue had gone and returned, and when he saw the two of them, he teased them.
Luo Xinran was a bit shy, and her cheeks were flushed at this moment. She lowered her head and dared not look at anyone.
Xu Feng didn't blush and asked directly:
"When my Taoist friend comes back, is there any unfinished business?"
"Yes, I have sent spiritual stones to the two fellow Taoists."
"Spiritual stone? What spiritual stone?"
Upon hearing the spirit stone, Luo Xinran rubbed her head and raised her head so high that she was startled when she stood in front of the two of them.
"It's the monster parts and spiritual herbs in those storage bags that you two gave me just now, and the spiritual stones valued at market prices!
Our Rogue Cultivator Alliance has long made a promise that we will recycle the monsters hunted in the mountains and the elixirs collected at a high price.
I gave the things to the master just now. After he estimated the value, he gave me these spiritual stones.
Come on, order some! "
There was a large bag of spiritual stones. Before Xu Feng had time to count them, Luo Xinran could not wait to take them and count them with her spiritual consciousness.
"Wow, nine hundred spiritual stones, that's too much, right? No wonder the Cheng brothers stayed in the mountains all year long and never returned to Fangshi."
"Not much more. Think about how much hardship we have endured, how much suffering we have endured this time in the mountains, and the countless dangers."
After explaining to her with a smile, Xu Feng glanced at the smiling Shi Fenyue standing in front of him, and asked with a thought:
"With so many spiritual stones, are they all carried by the commander?"
"Eight hundred spiritual stones isn't too much, right?"
Luo Xinran hung the storage bag containing the spirit stones on her waist and said without raising her head.
"The eight hundred spiritual stones belong to just the two of us. If we had not encountered the demonic cultivator this time and all the monks in our team had returned safely, then you can calculate how many spiritual stones we would need to acquire these resources."
After hearing this, Luo Xinran raised her head and touched her chin with her hand to calculate.
"Eight hundred for two people, four hundred for one person, and 40,000 spiritual stones for one hundred people."
After finishing the calculation, she was shocked by the number she got, and then looked at Shifenyue as well.
"Yes, my master did bring a lot of spiritual stones with him when he came out this time.
The purpose is to exchange demonic beast elixirs for fellow Taoists who participated in the operation. This is done to win the trust of fellow cultivators, so that more talented people can be recruited for the alliance's use.
But I didn't expect that not even one tenth of these spiritual stones were used in the end. "
The three of them chatted until Dongfang turned pale the next day, and then they said goodbye to each other.
"Two fellow Taoists, I will be following Master for the next two days, and I may not have time to take care of you.
We will meet again when we return to Fangshi. I can't thank you enough for your life-saving grace.
I already know your address, and I will definitely visit you when the time comes.
If you have free time, you can also come to me. You must also know the location of our casual cultivator alliance. "
"When you have free time, you must go to Naochao. Fellow Taoist, walk slowly."
"You two stay."
