Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 219 The White Deer Comes to Ask
Two months later, Fang Jingxuan gradually figured out the environment within a few hundred miles around.

This is the territory of the beautiful snake. Apart from the beautiful snake that is suspected to be in the late stage of the Golden Core realm and the crow in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, there are no other demonic beasts in the vicinity at the Golden Core realm.

As a snake-like demon beast, the beautiful snake was unusually lazy and basically didn't care about anything, leaving everything to the golden elixir crow.

The combination of this snake and bird struck Fang Jingxuan as very strange. After all, in the territories of other wild beasts, two tigers could not share one mountain, yet these two got along very well.

Over the past two months, Fang Jingxuan has collected six more drops of Moon Essence Dew. He gave three drops to the Golden Core Crow and kept three for himself, intending to use them for alchemy.

Having received favors from Fang Jingxuan, the Golden Core Crow grew increasingly fond of him. Most recently, it even brought Fang Jingxuan a third-tier spiritual fruit to consume.

After eating the fruit, Fang Jingxuan actually felt that his spiritual root aptitude had been improved.

Fang Jingxuan has three spiritual roots, which is far slower than those cultivators with only one spiritual root. Moreover, among cultivators with three spiritual roots, Fang Jingxuan also feels that his aptitude is relatively ordinary.

However, after consuming the spiritual fruit, Fang Jingxuan keenly noticed that, under the same conditions, his daily cultivation points would quietly increase slightly.

Fang Jingxuan then took it to heart. After carefully calculating for three days, he realized that his cultivation in these three days was indeed a little longer than the usual three days.

This desolate wilderness truly lives up to its reputation as a place undeveloped by human cultivators. Such spiritual fruits, capable of improving a cultivator's spiritual root aptitude, actually appeared here, and were even given to Fang Jingxuan by this Golden Core Crow without much regard for their value, as a return gift.

Fang Jingxuan didn't know the name of this spiritual fruit; he could only call it the Spirit Cultivation Fruit based on its appearance.

Moreover, Fang Jingxuan was truly excited to learn from the Golden Crow that it still had some Spirit Cultivation Fruit.

Taking pills to increase cultivation speed is merely an external means, while taking Spirit Cultivation Fruit is the fundamental way to improve the quality of one's spiritual roots.

Therefore, Fang Jingxuan has another goal in the future: to exchange all the Spirit Cultivation Fruits of this Golden Core Crow.

At dawn, a lot of noise came from the area around White Tiger Mountain. One after another, demonic beasts at the Qi Refining Realm came from other places. After about a hundred of them gathered, a huge black tortoise slowly climbed onto the only large rock in the area and began to roar.

As a Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast, Tuoyuan is highly intelligent and can now issue commands to these seemingly foolish but actually cunning Qi Refining demon beasts.

After a series of tortoise roars, the demonic beasts scattered like birds and beasts. Only a few squirrel-like demonic beasts used their front paws to lift up the huge medicinal herbs and present them to Tuoyuan.

Seeing that he had indeed made a discovery, Tuoyuan went into the cave behind the mountain and gently called out to Fang Jingxuan, who was sitting cross-legged studying the medicinal herbs.

Seeing this, Fang Jingxuan followed Tuoyuan, got up and went outside, picked up the medicinal herbs from the squirrel's paws, and began to carefully examine them.

"The fruit of the Hundred-Year Green Treasure Fruit, and the root of the Rotten Heart Grass, are indeed what I need for alchemy."

Fang Jingxuan put the medicinal herbs into his storage bag with satisfaction, and then gestured for the squirrels to come and line up.

Then, a few drops of Moon Dew were taken out, and one drop was flicked off to each squirrel and fed into their mouths.

"Go, this is your reward. Find more of these medicinal herbs and come back to me to exchange them for Jade Dew."

Fang Jingxuan conveyed his meaning to these little guys using his divine soul. Then, watching these Qi Refining demons excitedly skip away, he patted Tuoyuan's head and praised it.

"Sigh, being separated from human civilization and without thousands of low-level Qi Refining cultivators, I have to do everything myself. Spirit stones are useless here. If I want to collect some spiritual materials, I have to use these little demons."

Fang Jingxuan was somewhat melancholy, while Tuoyuan was quite carefree, acting all high and mighty here. "Hmm? Finally caught a big fish, good things are coming my way."

After only a few words of reflection, Fang Jingxuan's expression brightened with joy. His divine sense detected a powerful late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beast releasing its pressure towards him from afar, asserting its presence.

It seems that the act of sending Qi Refining demons to collect spiritual herbs and then exchanging them for Moon Essence Dew has caught the attention of this late Foundation Establishment stage demon beast.

So after observing it in secret for a while, it couldn't resist trying it out itself.

A moment later, an elegant and tall white deer emerged from the forest. Upon seeing Fang Jingxuan, it stopped about seven or eight feet in front of him, bowed its head slightly, and proactively extended its goodwill.

This white deer is pure white, with a pair of antlers on its head that gleam with spiritual light. It is over ten feet tall and contains a huge amount of spiritual energy. It looks very appealing.

"Strange monkey, I need your elixir. What spiritual item will you give me in exchange?"

The white deer in the late stage of Foundation Establishment has a very high level of spiritual strength and intelligence, which is enough to express its meaning completely and clearly.

Here, language is no longer necessary; on the contrary, communication between the soul and consciousness is the most accurate and reliable method.

Fang Jingxuan did not rush to agree to the white deer's request. He looked at the deer's body and found that it was a female deer.

"What do you need this elixir for? Can you tell me?"

Fang Jingxuan used his divine soul to convey his doubts. The Moon Essence Dew he released only had a great effect on Qi Refining minor demons, but for this Foundation Establishment White Dew, only the extracted Moon Essence True Dew could be considered precious.

"This"

Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, but after a few breaths, she still expressed her reasons.

“My child needs this. It is weak from birth. Taking this spiritual liquid will allow it to grow as much as possible and survive.”

Wow, so it was for your child. But is my Moon Essence Dew really more effective than your own breast milk?
"Okay, what do you want to exchange for it?"

After Fang Jingxuan asked, the doe's antlers flickered slightly, and four or five spiritual herbs and medicines appeared in front of Fang Jingxuan.

Fang Jingxuan glanced at the antlers on the other's head. Clearly, this doe had instinctively refined the antlers into a spatial artifact.

After that, Fang Jingxuan began to identify the spiritual herbs on the ground. Finally, he picked out one of them and took out a jade bottle.

"There are twenty drops of spiritual liquid here. Can I exchange them for this spiritual herb?"

The white deer readily agreed, nodded slightly, put away the other medicinal herbs, then used magic to retrieve the jade bottle and quietly retreated.

After the white deer left, a smile finally appeared on Fang Jingxuan's face. Twenty drops of Moon Essence Jade Dew in exchange for a third-tier spirit herb—such a deal was something he never dared to dream of when he was in Baishan.

In high spirits, Fang Jingxuan carefully stored the spiritual herb, planning to use it to make a fortune after leaving the wilderness.

Clearly, this kind of transaction will continue to occur.
