Chapter 55 -55 Buying Koi Carp_1

In all seriousness, the fighting power of this Demon Race Divine Envoy was not as strong as the Tiger King from the past, it was just slightly cunning– especially compared to Yun Chaoxian.

Even if Chu Liang didn’t step in, with a bit more time, Yun Chaoxian should have been able to win too.

With one swing of his large halberd, he directly shattered the tree spirit’s body, and the expansive vegetation shrunk and withered in an instant, leaving only shambles on the ground.

Chu Liang looked around him, unfurling his divine sense, and began to search for any remaining spiritual items.

Demons typically weren’t proficient with Pill Furnace Artifacts, so there usually wasn’t much of value left behind. After a careful search, he found only two items of potential use.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

The first was that bronze mask worn by the divine envoy. When Chu Liang’s divine sense swept over it, he detected faint traces of spiritual energy circulating, suggesting it might have some special function, so he picked it up.

The second item was a palm-sized green leaf. Although the ground was covered in fallen leaves, this green leaf was extraordinarily different, teeming with spirituality and shimmering with luster.

“This divine envoy is a tree spirit, this leaf might be his Life Origin Green Leaf that it was refining.” Chu Liang turned it over and examined it thoroughly before concluding, “It cannot be used directly for now, but it’s a pretty good artifact refining material. When we return to the mountain, it could be used for refining a magic artifact.”

The Chuan Jian Hall provided dedicated artifact refining services, disciples of Shu Mountain Sect only needed to offer the materials and a certain number of sword coins, and they could ask for their assistance in refining magic artifacts.

“Hehe, Brother Chu, we owe it all to your help once again.”

Yun Chaoxian, bare-chested and holding his large halberd upside down, walked over. They had previously agreed that any loot would belong to Chu Liang, so he had no objections when he saw Chu Liang picking things up.

Having just killed a nemesis, it was clear that he was quite exhilarated.

“Even if I hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have been your match,” said Chu Liang.

“Of course, but had you used your full strength, Brother Chu, you could have easily killed him with a single stroke. You deliberately held back, leaving me the chance to deal the killing blow…”

Upon reaching this point, Yun Chaoxian seemed quite moved.

In his eyes, if Chu Liang had unleashed the Ten Thousand Swords Technique as he did that day, even with the full defense of the divine envoy, it’s uncertain if he could have withstood it. However, Chu Liang used merely the Hundred Swords Technique.

Did he lack the ability?

Of course not!

It must have been Brother Chu, knowing my many days of chasing this treacherous villain, not wanting to steal my thunder, he deliberately left me the chance to kill the demon.

Brother Chu, he really…

Touching indeed.

“Hehe.” To this Chu Liang could only respond with a smile.

Deliberately hand over the right to kill?

Only an idiot would do that.

After tidying up here, he turned around and went back to the second-floor terrace where he had been before, starting to shuffle through the few evil witches.

These evil witches had a lot of odds and ends on their bodies, but they all had a bit of an evil touch. Like the row of flying knives that had to first cut the wielder themselves before they could be thrown… or the blood-drinking skull head, which almost bit Chu Liang when he picked it up… or the little grass doll inscribed with one’s time of birth… and a nail dipped in some mysterious blood…

Many of them were already bound, needing the blood of the evil witch to feed them and their spiritual nature disappearing with the death of the evil witch. Some still retained their spiritual nature, but were bizarre and unnamed.

It looked like they were useless, so when he returned to the mountain he would hand them in.

The most valuable thing was a brocaded box he found on the old man’s body. Inside was a heavenly material and earthly treasure.

Dark Sea Golden Lotus?

This treasure that the demon envoy coveted actually fell into his hands. This was something good.

Unless something unexpected happens, this Dark Sea Golden Lotus would be his biggest gain from this.

Chu Liang took a few more reluctant laps to ensure that nothing was left behind, then stood up, took a deep breath and said, “Let’s report it to the authorities.”

According to the rules of the underworld, after finishing the fight and dividing the spoils, it’s time to call the authorities to clean up after the mess.

…

The signs of the Shu Mountain Sect and the Heavenly Gang Sect were still shining. Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian went to the Government Office of Kaoshan City and were warmly received immediately.

The two revealed that the murder suspect of the previous atrocity was a Demon Race Divine Envoy, and after a thorough investigation, it really matched all the evidence. This murderer was slain by the two of them, and the case was finally concluded.

Originally, the search for the murderer had put enormous pressure on The Government Office since the city had been sealed off. Now that the matter was sorted out, everyone was happy.

Not only was this matter highly commended and publicized, but Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian also received a reward of five hundred patterned silver each.

Such an amount of money is not even enough to feed Money Gu for one meal, and cultivators naturally don’t care much, but this incident had a considerable impact, and they did make a name for themselves.

Yun Chaoxian wanted to give his portion of the reward silver to Chu Liang, but Chu Liang immediately refused and told him to save his money to buy a few more clothes.

After leaving Kaoshan City, the two were heading their own ways.

Yun Chaoxian was reluctant to part, saying: “Brother Chu, the world is vast, after this parting, I don’t know when we will meet again.”

“Brother Yun, don’t worry. If fate permits, friends we will be again someday.” Chu Liang too responded with a salute.

“Yes, at the latest by next year, I believe you will certainly represent the Shu Mountain Sect in the Immortal Sect Tournament held in the capital city, we will definitely meet then.” Yun Chaoxian said with a laugh.

“Indeed.” Chu Liang nodded.

At the same time, he thought to himself, I hope you will be able to see me then.

Every twelve years, the capital of the Yu Dynasty hosts the Immortal Sect Tournament, in which the most outstanding young disciples from all Immortal Sects participate. The ranking carries significant meaning for all the Sects.

But to represent the Shu Mountain Sect in the Immortal Sect Tournament, one needs to deliver an exceptional performance at this year’s Shu Mountain Peak Conference.

That is uncertain.

Bidding farewell to Yun Chaoxian, Chu Liang naturally began his journey back to Shu Mountain.

As his flying sword was about to reach Shu Mountain, he landed in front of a small town.

Yunhua Town.

Being the first small town at the foot of Shu Mountain, disciples of Shu Mountain Sect often visit here to buy items. Although the town is small, it is quite bustling.

He arrived at the Flower, Bird, and Fish Market in one corner of the town and took a stroll.

He stopped at a bird-seller’s booth and asked, “Uncle, I want to buy a Fengshui Koi, where can I find a nice one?”

Yes.

A few days ago when they were discussing the reward, he had thought about buying a Koi. Now that he had the money, he was putting his plan into action.

However, after a round, he didn’t see any Koi with an exceptional appearance.

The bird seller kindly pointed in a direction, saying, “You can go and look in Manager Chen’s fish store at the corner of the street. He sells Koi from the Jinhua River, they are always of the best quality.”

“Alright, thank you.” Chu Liang responded.

He then walked towards the corner and found a small store. As he entered, the store seemed quite empty and deserted.

“Is there anyone here?” Chu Liang asked aloud.

“Ouch…” A groan came from inside the room, “Do we have a guest? Please, come in.”

“Hmm?” Chu Liang was a little puzzled, he walked into the room.

He saw a middle-aged man in a sweaty shirt lying on a bed, half of his face was red and swollen, and there was also a swollen area on his leg. He looked to be in quite a lot of pain.

“Recently my body has been out of sorts, please forgive me,” Manager Chen greeted him. “We’re all locals here, feel free to look around and pick up what you want to buy. Just bring it to me to check, and I’ll tell you the price.”

“Manager,” Chu Liang said. “I wanted to buy a Fengshui Koi, but I didn’t see any outside…”

“Ouch…” Mentioning this, Manager Chen groaned again as if Chu Liang had hit him in a sore spot, “I can’t sell Koi anymore.”

“But… everyone outside says that your Koi have the best features.” Chu Liang replied.

“That was before. All the Koi in my store were caught by me from the Jinhua River, so naturally, they are of top quality.” Manager Chen said plaintively, “But in the last few days, a swarm of poisonous bees has appeared on the banks of the Jinhua River. Look at my condition, I was stung by those bees. It’s been five or six days, even the doctor’s medicines have not cured it. I’m in so much pain.”

“With the presence of those poisonous bees, who dares to go and catch fish?”
