The Game with Fairies-Chapter 319 - Compensating You
Chapter 319: Compensating You
The mysterious man looked astonished.
Guan Xiaoshun happily recounted his experiences over the past two years to the senior.
After hearing from senior that he had cultivation talent, he had resolved to participate in the selection for the Demon Refining Sect’s outer disciples.
Later, he was fortunate enough to rise to the Inner Sect.
The young man rambled on while taking out a dark red pill.
He carefully handed the pill to the mysterious man and said, “Senior, this is a healing elixir I found in the sect. Please try it and see if it can help with your injuries.”
The wound on the man’s chest was too ghastly.
After receiving the pill, the mysterious man raised an eyebrow slightly: “Oh? A Gathering Spirit Pill? Where did you get this, kid?”
Although the Gathering Spirit Pill was a medium-grade elixir, its effect on healing flesh wounds was comparable to some high-grade elixirs.
It was also quite famous in the cultivation world.
Considering Guan Xiaoshun’s white robe, getting his hands on a Gathering Spirit Pill... to be honest, was still quite difficult.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it could bankrupt a family.
Guan Xiaoshun chuckled and said, “I saved up and bought it. I’ve been saving money since I entered the sect. I saved a lot! Senior, please try the pill and see if it works.”
The mysterious man looked at him deeply but didn’t say much. Instead, he simply swallowed the Gathering Spirit Pill.
The next second, the huge wound on the mysterious man’s chest began to move, sprouting many tiny flesh buds.
These buds wriggled and entwined, seemingly trying to heal the wound.
However, as the flesh buds continued to grow, dark impurities kept emerging from the wound, corroding the new flesh.
Gradually, the growth of the flesh buds ceased, and the wound on the man’s chest remained unchanged, showing no signs of improvement.
Guan Xiaoshun felt somewhat disappointed: “Even the Gathering Spirit Pill can’t heal senior’s injuries?”
The mysterious man, however, was not surprised by this outcome.
He shook his head indifferently, a faint smile appearing on his pale and handsome face.
“Let’s talk about your experiences these past days instead. I didn’t expect you to actually join the Demon Refining Sect...”
The man shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless.
When it came to recounting his experiences in the sect over the past two years, Guan Xiaoshun became excited.
He happily shared his experiences with the senior, including how he met Senior Brother Li who took good care of him, encountered a mysterious senior who gave him high-grade spiritual rice, followed Senior Brother Li to join the Inner Sect, and later participated in suppressing the turmoil in Tianjiao City caused by the Blood Lotus Sect...
Guan Xiaoshun enthusiastically shared these experiences with the senior.
The mysterious man, however, just shook his head and laughed.
“What mysterious senior... If I’m not mistaken, the one who gave you the high-grade spiritual rice was your Senior Brother Li.”
“This person is reserved and stable and has encountered some sort of opportunity, which has led to his rapid rise... Such stories are not uncommon in the cultivation world.”
“As for you, kid, you’ve been with him for so long, haven’t you ever doubted him? Why would an unknown person give you high-grade spiritual rice for no reason?”
“The only person around you with the motive and ability to give you so much high-grade spiritual rice is this Senior Brother Li, no one else.”
The mysterious man laughed and shook his head.
Guan Xiaoshun widened his eyes in surprise.
“Ah? It was Senior Brother Li? But at that time, he was just an outer disciple, how could he have so much high-grade spiritual rice...”
The mysterious man shook his head again.
“There’s a ninety percent chance it was him. He must have something extraordinary about him to improve his cultivation so quickly. But you don’t need to bring this up, just remember it quietly.”
“After all, the favors and care he has given you are not limited to this. You, my boy, are a fool blessed with good fortune...”
The mysterious man sighed softly, then looked at the Demonic Sect’s white robe on the boy and sighed silently.
This kid had actually become a disciple of the Demonic Sect...
We had agreed to completely destroy the Demon Refining Sect...
But if I were to destroy the Demon Refining Sect’s lineage, wouldn’t this kid become a homeless stray dog?
Sigh...
Thinking of this, the mysterious man sighed deeply and suddenly said, “Kid, I’ll teach you something as compensation.”
Guan Xiaoshun’s eyes widened in surprise: “Compensation?”
The mysterious man patted his forehead and said, “You’ll understand in the future...”
As the man’s voice fell, a huge shadow of a dragon moved vaguely under the water in the swampy black lake behind him.
.....
Heavenly Origin Dynasty, Northern Spruce Ridge.
There was a ferry here that could cross the Yushui River to the other side.
Dressed in green, Fairy Liuli Chu Qingxue, carrying an immortal sword, appeared quietly at this place.
“Excuse me, shopkeeper, how far is Pingyao City from here?”
Chu Qingxue stood on the steep mountain path of Spruce Ridge and asked the shopkeeper in a roadside tea stall.
The shopkeeper was about to speak when suddenly, from afar, a roaring and piercing noise came.
Cheers erupted from the direction of the ferry.
The shopkeeper glanced at it and then ran out excitedly, shouting, “The Dragon Goddess is wise and just!”
Not just the shopkeeper, but all the boatmen, shopkeepers, and nearly everyone in sight at the Spruce Ridge ferry rushed excitedly towards the port.
It seemed that something big had happened.
Chu Qingxue, slightly puzzled, followed the crowd.
When she arrived at the ferry, she witnessed an astonishing scene.
In broad daylight, a group of half-human half-demon creatures rose from the Yushui River.
They were clad in armor, wielding weapons, and brazenly appeared before the eyes of mortals.
Instead of being afraid, the mortals at the Spruce Ridge ferry knelt down respectfully.
Chu Qingxue, the only person standing in the crowd, immediately stood out.
However, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that emerged from the river glanced at this woman but said nothing.
The crab general leading them waved its large pincers and said to the kneeling mortals at the ferry.
“By the decree of the Dragon Goddess! I am here to capture the evil creatures causing trouble outside Spruce Ridge!”
“Stand aside, do not block the way!” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals rose from the water and headed straight for a dense forest outside the Spruce Ridge ferry.
Among this group, three evil creatures were bound by fishing nets, struggling incessantly, obviously already captured.
The onlookers dispersed, making way for them.
Fairy Liuli, seeing such a scene, frowned slightly.
“The Dragon Goddess...”
She immediately thought of what Senior Brother Shen had said, that Lord Wuming was traveling with the Flood Dragon of the northern Yushui River.
But she hadn’t expected that the Flood Dragon had already established a Dragon Palace and even transformed so many shrimp soldiers and crab generals to hunt down evil creatures.
Although hunting evil spirits was a good deed that benefited mortals, to act so ostentatiously in the northern counties...
Chu Qingxue became anxious.
“Does Lord Wuming really not know the dangers of the northern counties?”
After quickly inquiring about the direction to Pingyao City, she hurried towards it.
Even so, Fairy Liuli did not dare to fly with her sword.
Instead, she submerged into the Yushui River and followed the river downstream.
Keeping a low profile, she concealed the fact that she was a cultivator.
