Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 294 Harvest
Shortly after.

"boom!"

As Liu Huang'er unleashed a spell in a fit of rage, obliterating the last demonic cultivator who attempted to escape, the arena fell silent, and the battle finally came to an end.

"My Amber Bell..."

Looking at her severely damaged magical artifact, Liu Huang'er's face turned bitter:

"I wonder if my senior sister can fix it?"

"Brother Zhu."

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she spoke in a clear voice:
"You wouldn't try to take the items from these junior demonic cultivators and innate Qi refiners, would you?"

"...No." Zhu Ju gently shook his head.
"That's your own spoils, Junior Sister."

Liu Huang'er smiled sweetly and hurriedly picked up the storage bags and magical artifacts on the ground, counting her gains one by one.

"no!"

"Nothing at all!"

The fact that several storage bags were empty made the smile on her face gradually disappear.

He said with annoyance:
"These people aren't weak in cultivation, so why don't they have anything?"

"It's perfectly normal not to carry unnecessary items when going out on a mission," Zhu Ju advised.
“Magic artifacts and storage bags can also be worth a lot of spirit stones.”

Liu Huang'er gently shook her head.

Most of the magical artifacts she found were of low quality, and they were all demonic artifacts such as bone spikes, yin soul beads, and chaotic flying knives. The disciples of the Mingxu Sect had no use for them and could not sell them for a good price.

the other side.

"Crack..."

Zhu Ju rubbed his hands together, and an inconspicuous five-colored divine light emerged from his palms, opening the restriction on Ding Xiang's storage bag.

His expression froze when he scanned the inside of the storage bag with his divine sense.

It's completely empty!

The storage space, which was several dozen square meters in size, contained only two mid-grade spirit stones and a bottle of Blood Fiend Pills to restore demonic true essence.

There was nothing else besides that.

"Senior brother?"

Liu Huang'er tilted her head to look:
"Not much harvest?"

"..." Zhu Ju shook his head speechlessly, his ears twitched slightly, and then he looked up at the sky:

"somebody is coming."

"Om..."

The primordial energy in the air vibrated rapidly, and a golden streak of light quickly approached from afar.

In the blink of an eye, it landed right in front of them.

As the light dissipated, a female cultivator clad in golden armor appeared.

The female cultivator was beautiful and tall.

Although the golden armor covered her completely, its tight fit revealed her curvaceous figure.

As the female cultivator landed, an overwhelming pressure descended upon her, the source of which was none other than her golden armor.

"Senior Sister Dong!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Liu Huang'er's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly went to greet them.

Senior Sister Dong?
Dong Yuelan!
Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

He had heard of this name before: the deputy sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, who possessed a set of Sharp Gold Fang Armor with defensive capabilities comparable to a magic weapon.

Well……

Zhu Ju once had a similar item called the "Vajra King Armor," but it was severely damaged and was no longer of any use. Even if it were reforged, it would be impossible to restore it to its original state.

"Junior Sister Liu."

Dong Yuelan's beautiful eyes darted around, quickly scanning the entire room:
"A demonic sorcerer?"

"Yes." Liu Huang'er nodded and recounted what had just happened, her face still showing resentment.

"Lian Junhe has indeed sided with the Demonic Sect." Dong Yuelan sighed, turning to look at Zhu Ju, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of admiration:
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Zhu, who traversed the East Sea alone, he was able to kill a Dao Foundation cultivator of the Blood Demon Sect."

"admire!"

This is from the bottom of my heart.

Among the six demonic sects, the cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect are the most difficult to kill; even she, who was a level higher, was not entirely confident of victory.

The fact that they were able to kill a Dao Foundation cultivator of the Blood Demon Sect, regardless of how they did it, is enough to demonstrate their extraordinary abilities.

"Fellow Daoist Dong, you flatter me."

Zhu Ju bowed:

"Is it your turn to be on duty at the market today, fellow Daoist?"

"Yes." Dong Yuelan nodded.

“I have sent a message that other fellow cultivators in the vicinity will arrive soon, but it seems unnecessary at the moment.”

"Actually, there's one more small matter." Zhu Ju looked at Xu Hanzhi:

"There was a man named Lao Ji..."

…………

The market is divided into an inner area and an outer area.

The inner area is within the coverage of the second-order formation, which guarantees safety. However, the inner area is limited in size, and living in it requires paying an expensive fee, which most independent cultivators cannot afford.

The outer realms are more chaotic.

Excrement and filth were everywhere on the streets, and even mutilated corpses were dumped in the ditches.

It's hard to imagine.

This place is actually a gathering place for cultivators.

The group found Old Thistle's body in a wooden hut on the edge of the outer realm; only his skin remained.

There was a slit on the back of the body.

"Skin-changing technique!"

"It's a method of the Blood Demon Sect. Blood Demon Sect cultivators devour the essence and blood of others, then don human skin and use the deceased's aura to evade inspection by righteous cultivators." Dong Yuelan gently shook her head.
"The demonic methods are extremely strange. When they devour blood essence, they can also inherit part of the deceased's memories. In addition, they can change their aura. Unless it is someone very familiar with them, no one will notice anything unusual."

"The Ji Ying we've been seeing recently is not him. He himself has been dead for about a month."

Xu Hanzhi's face turned pale.

The thought of spending so much time in close proximity to demonic beings sent chills down his spine.

Mingxu Sect.

The group had just returned when Pei Jingque, having heard the news, summoned them to a side hall to inquire about the situation.

As Liu Huang'er described her experiences along the way, Pei Jingque's expression and demeanor changed frequently.

Upon hearing the name 'Lian Junhe', she nodded slowly, clearly not surprised.

Upon hearing that a Dao Foundation cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect had appeared, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhu Ju.

Upon learning that Zhu Ju had killed the Blood Demon Sect's Dao Foundation Master, a smile finally appeared on her face.

"Junior Brother Zhu is quite strong. It's not surprising that he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect. It's a pity that Lian Junhe escaped."

She had sparred with Zhu Ju before. Although they both held back at the time, they were also clear about each other's approximate strength.

In the early stages of the Dao foundation,

Very few people could rival Zhu Ju.

"The Blood Demon Sect's methods are extremely strange. It's not difficult to injure or repel them, but it's not easy to kill them."

Zhu Ju explained:
"After killing Ding Xiang, Lian Junhe immediately retreated when he saw that things were not going well, and I was unable to catch up with him."

If he could catch his breath or two, he was confident he could keep the person there.

pity!

“That’s enough.” Pei Jingque nodded, picked up the Blood Transformation Divine Blade in front of him, and gently stroked the blade:
"The Blood Demon Sect's Blood Transformation Divine Blade is forged using millennium-old blood-coagulating stone and blood marrow drill, employing demonic techniques. It is a rather unique magical artifact, but unfortunately, it is difficult for righteous cultivators to unleash its full power."

"If we sell it, we can probably get two or three hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

"Two or three hundred spirit stones?" Zhu Ju frowned slightly.

This price can only buy some low-quality top-grade magical artifacts, which is somewhat unworthy of the power of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

In his view, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade was almost comparable to low-level magic weapons in close combat.

It's not much worse than his Horizontal and Vertical Blade.

Even the worst quality magic weapon requires at least a thousand mid-grade spirit stones to acquire.

"There's nothing we can do," Pei Jingque sighed.

"Not only the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, but also other exclusive magical artifacts of the demonic sects are difficult for others to control. They can only be reforged to extract the spiritual materials inside, which naturally makes them less valuable."

"After all, it's a magic weapon that everyone has, and two or three hundred mid-grade spirit stones isn't cheap."

"Junior Sister, this Amber Bell Chamomile..."

She then picked up the 'Amber Bell' with its dim light, frowned slightly, and slowly shook her head.

Liu Huang'er tensed up, her eyes fixed on Pei Jingque, as if afraid of hearing some bad news.

"It can be repaired, but it will require a lot of materials, probably hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones."

"Hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones? This is a huge loss."

Liu Huang'er's face showed bitterness, then she nodded emphatically:

"But it still needs to be repaired. After all, it has been with me for decades and I have developed feelings for it. I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

"It's alright." Pei Jingque waved his hand.

"Refining weapons is also beneficial to me."

"Senior Sister," Zhu Ju asked.
"The Immortal Alliance is hostile to the Demonic Path. If we kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect, will the Immortal Alliance offer a reward?"

"Pills, spirit stones, merit points, and the like..."

"No." Pei Jingque shook his head.

"Resisting the demonic path is an inescapable responsibility for all righteous cultivators; how can they expect any reward?"

"Well……"

"That's what the Immortal Alliance says."

She shrugged, looking helpless.

Obviously.

Pei Jingque also disagreed with this view.

Although everyone has a responsibility to resist the demonic path, offering rewards would certainly motivate righteous cultivators and prevent them from thinking of escaping when faced with danger, thus preventing the frontline battles from repeatedly collapsing.

Even more so, some rogue cultivators, unable to resist the temptation, turned to the demonic path, also because they could not gain any benefits from the Immortal Alliance.

Zhu Ju sighed softly.

His experiences over the past few days have greatly disappointed him with the so-called Immortal Alliance.

They allowed the courtesans in the brothels to practice the demonic arts of the Hehuan Sect, and gave them no reward whatsoever for killing demonic cultivators...

Even in the marketplace, there were people who practiced demonic arts openly entering and leaving various shops.

As long as they can do business and are not disciples of the Demonic Sect, the Immortal Alliance will not interfere.

It's no wonder that Lu Dingwang, a Dao Foundation member of the Tianyu Immortal Sect, felt despair and prepared for his escape route.

Immortal Alliance?

It's just a disorganized, self-serving group that can't even manage things properly, let alone have a system of rewards and punishments. How could it possibly withstand the brutal and ruthless demonic cultivators?
"It's not entirely without its advantages."

Pei Jingque thought for a moment and said:

“We cultivators of the Immortal Alliance need to take turns to guard the market and the front line. If we are injured in the battle with the demonic cultivators, we can be exempted from or have our shift postponed. Recently, we Mingxu Sect disciples need to guard the market. Originally, Fellow Daoist Zhai was supposed to go, but I can arrange for you, Junior Brother, to take over.”

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up, and he smiled:

"Senior sister, I was accidentally struck by the Blood Demon Divine Light during my fight with the Blood Demon Sect members, and I suffered a serious injury. I need to recuperate for a while. Is this excuse acceptable?"

"Perfect." Pei Jingque also smiled.
"How about six months?"

"Six months from now will be the auspicious day of Junior Sister Liu and Fellow Daoist Zhai's wedding. We must not miss it. By then, Junior Brother's 'injury' should have healed quite well."

"Half a year?" Zhu Ju turned his head to look at Liu Huang'er, whose face was slightly flushed, and nodded.
"That's about enough."
