Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Shocking News
Another two days passed.
Xu Guang put down the "Bright Fla Rushing Fla Force" he was studying.
In the courtyard, he received Su Yan, who had co from afar.
There was a hint of excitent in Su Yan’s eyes, as if she had encountered sothing imnsely pleasing.
It had been a long ti since he helped her deal with the Fierce Ghost in the black market, and Su Yan finally brought back the list. Xu Guang thought she would default.
"Here is the catalogue of recent goods. See if there’s anything you fancy?"
"I suggest you choose the Profound Earth. This was leftover from a Sixth Grade expert. This Profound Earth is quite mysterious. Although the quantity is not much,
if you sprinkle it on the ground under the open sky and infuse it with Demon Beast Blood, it can grow corresponding Demon Beast Flesh. Truly mysterious."
Xu Guang was taken aback, not expecting sothing so miraculously unpredictable in the world.
"This thing... is very precious, right?"
Su Yan rolled her eyes at Xu Guang, "Of course it’s precious. A sect like your Iron Armor Sect simply couldn’t have such a treasure, and what I’m giving you won’t be much."
"This is a treasure only Innate Experts can obtain."
Xu Guang asked calmly, "What do you an?"
Su Yan, perhaps too excited, had received unparalleled support from Zhai Kong due to so matters this ti.
Currently in an excited state, the Sheep and Deer Generals were brainless, and among her friends, there was only Xu Guang.
When Xu Guang asked, she didn’t hide and spoke directly.
"Only Innate Experts can create this thing.
The world divides Innate Qi into Five Elents, categorized by Yin and Yang. Most people practice Yang Five Elents Innate, like those experts we commonly see in the Jianghu.
And the so-called Yin Five Elent experts are generally people from the Daoist Sect, adept at dealing with Yin spirits and ghostly entities.
This Profound Earth is created by Innate Yang Earth experts, nurturing a land with their Primordial Qi, gradually transforming ordinary earth into Profound Earth, capable of producing incredible things."
Listening to her words, Xu Guang showed an expression of realization; this was the first ti he heard of Yin Yang Innate.
However, he could also understand the preciousness of this Profound Earth, as it was sothing only Innate Experts could nurture.
"How much can this thing sell for outside?"
Su Yan rolled her eyes at Xu Guang, "You’re so mundane! Can this be asured by money? Typically, it’s priceless but if you must put a price on it, it’s a thousand gold per tael for the lowest quality Profound Earth."
Xu Guang couldn’t help but breathe in sharply.
Hiss~
This is... daylight robbery?
He initially thought with his Golden Finger, coupled with his terrifying alchemy skills, that not even Innate Experts could out-earn him, especially since nurturing General Wei’s wealth was beyond imagination.
But now...
Such thoughts completely dissipated.
Innate Experts could casually create so Profound Earth, which equated to his painstaking alchemy results over several days.
No comparison.
Xu Guang couldn’t help but look at Su Yan, finding the power behind this woman truly unimaginable.
Su Yan didn’t mind Xu Guang’s gaze, rely saying, "If you don’t want the Profound Earth, you can look at the other items."
Xu Guang shook his head, "I want the Profound Earth."
Su Yan rolled her eyes at him, "Fine, this ti I got thirty taels of Eighth Grade Profound Earth; one tael of Profound Earth mixed in soil can grow one pound of Eighth Grade Demon Beast Flesh a day, you can have ten taels."
She was usually generous, but couldn’t hide a slight pained expression on her face at this mont.
Daily dozens of pounds of beast at didn’t concern her.
But such things can’t be asured that way; the Profound Earth is a long-term asset, typically maintaining spirituality for about fifty years before it’s exhausted, making it priceless for family-oriented powers or individuals.
This is a true family heirloom’s treasure, and if there’s soone extraordinarily talented in the family, they might leverage this Profound Earth to comprehend so thods of Innate Experts.
Thus, in the Jianghu, it’s typically priceless, and families or sects without Innate Experts find it extrely difficult to trade for Profound Earth from an Innate Expert.
"By the way, do you need won?"
Before leaving, Su Yan suddenly asked.
Xu Guang’s head felt dizzy; why ask this out of the blue?
Su Yan rolled her eyes at Xu Guang, "There’ve been many battles lately; the Palace Master of Baihua Palace in Fenglin County refused the marriage proposal from the Shen Family’s Young Master from Changsong Prefecture. After being attacked by the Shen Family, Baihua Palace, filled with beautiful disciples, fell.
If you want, I can get you a few. You now have so status, so it’s unbecoming not to have attendants around."
Xu Guang remained silent.
But internally, he was in turmoil about how ssed up this world is...
The self-satisfaction he felt after defeating Ren Ziji vanished instantly.
Just because of refusal of a marriage proposal, it led to this result.
If one day he or General Wei were targeted by a powerful faction or expert, how should he cope?
It’s not unreasonable for him to worry; General Wei is indeed very captivating.
"This world is truly dangerous."
Su Yan nodded in agreent, then sighed, "In the short term, it won’t affect Qingshuo County. Although the Iron Armor Sect isn’t strong, it has backing, so ordinary folks won’t trouble Iron Armor Sect."
Xu Guang nodded in deep agreent; in these chaotic tis, lacking a background is truly miserable.
Only an Innate Expert can barely be regarded as human when traveling outside.
He felt quite grateful for Su Yan’s reminder.
...
"Has Xu Guang ever sought you out?"
Yin Lele leaned against the man’s chest, filled with affection, her eyes brimming with autumn waves.
Upon hearing the man’s words, Yin Lele was sowhat displeased; she didn’t like discussing other n during such monts.
Especially soone as lowly as Xu Guang, who was born an Elephant Slave.
However, she really loved this man deeply, and it had been a long ti since he returned. After rolling her eyes, she replied, "I heard he landed a Vice Hall Master position at the Iron Armor Sect, probably busy with that."
The man’s face darkened.
Xu Guang clearly recognized the teorite, yet he could still restrain himself. Really made him look up to him.
"We need to figure out a way to lure him out. That place truly requires the Great Beast capable of refining Dragon Blood. We’ll discuss the Celestial Register once we obtain the treasure."
’But that guy is too cautious, even trying other ans doesn’t work.’
The man was at a loss; Xu Guang, during this period, was the most "careful" person he had ever seen. Despite being tempted by the Dragon Blood teorite he produced, he remained untouched.
If all else fails, he might just go to him for collaboration.
Indeed, it’s a teorite sealed with Dragon Blood, too hard to cut alone. Xu Guang’s Great Beast should be able to push the teorite aside directly, right?
...
Courtyard.
Xu Guang, holding a hoe under the blazing sun, carefully cleared the backyard’s small flowerbed, then sprinkled large granules of Xuan Soil.
He extracted so beast blood with a stench, spreading it over the soil.
In an instant, the blood traces vanished, and so floating dust twisted continuously, resembling bamboo shoots, as sothing broke through the soil.
’Truly magical.’
Watching this scene, Xu Guang couldn’t help but marvel internally.
But even before he could fully take it in, everything suddenly turned black before his eyes.
It was genuinely darkening before his eyes.
"Ah Wei, I’m busy now, I’ll play with you later."
Then...
He saw a trunk as long as a giant python fall onto the flowerbed he’d been tending all morning, and with a strong inhale...
"Ah Wei! What are you doing!"
Xu Guang quickly stepped forward, pulling out more than a dozen grains of Xuan Soil from the nostril, completely flabbergasted.
"You... you... you..."
"Tastes good, I want more..."
General Wei’s consciousness transmitted through the Spiritual Link, leaving Xu Guang montarily stunned.
But soon, he ca back to his senses.
"Does this stuff really taste good?"
General Wei ignored him, extending a long trunk to inhale the Xuan Soil from Xu Guang’s hand.
Xu Guang, looking at the handful of Xuan Soil, gritted his teeth.
"Could this stuff... really be that tasty?"
The thought quickly crossed his mind as he stuffed the Xuan Soil into his mouth.
He had eaten dirt when he was a beggar, after all.
General Wei regretfully retracted his long trunk, sweeping over Xu Guang’s shoulder in a retaliatory manner, almost knocking him down.
However, Xu Guang couldn’t bother playing with General Wei now, as he suddenly felt his long-stalled cultivation finally show a slight fluctuation.
"I should have thought of this earlier. Only an Innate Expert could produce this Xuan Soil, capable of growing Demon Beast Flesh; why not eat it directly?"
Who knows if Su Yan knew about this use of Xuan Soil?
Xu Guang either way didn’t bother too much; since the treasure was given to him, how to use it was his business, and whether others shared was up to their goodwill.
"After eating the Xuan Soil, I really should eat less today."
Xu Guang remarked, touching General Wei’s long trunk.
This big fellow could really eat him out of house and ho, the Spirit Fruit he ate last ti resulted in the air ejected from General Wei’s trunk becoming slightly more heated.
Given its size, the compressed airflow from its trunk could fully be deed as an air cannon, adding a dium-range attack thod, albeit not powerful, roughly equivalent to a Seventh Grade Great Cultivation expert’s full-force strike.
Who knows what changes this ti’s Xuan Soil might bring.
"I really owe you; once you reach Sixth Grade, you better repay
well. Without , little elephants like you are bound to starve."
General Wei extended his long trunk, wrapping around Xu Guang’s hand, with a hint of warmth in its eyes.
All right, such a big elephant still acting cute.
"I’ll ask Yin Lele later, find a way to bring you clues about the Dragon Blood Stone..."
Eight hundred years ago, a Flood Dragon wreaked havoc in Chi River, aiming to ascend to heaven. The Great Zhou Grand Ancestor leaped into the scene, slaying the Flood Dragon in the sky, Dragon Blood inundated the earth, consequently spawning nurous legends of Dragon Blood.
Xu Guang recalled the legend he read in the county annals beforehand...
