Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

A beast tide is coming.

"Deacon, they're here! The beast tide is here!"

Several cultivators guarding the Luo family's territory rushed to the front yard of the Luo family in a slightly flustered manner to report to Luo Changfeng.

"I know... making such a big commotion is a declaration of war against us."

A solemn expression instantly appeared on Luo Changfeng's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately gave the order:

"You must go and resist the beast tide immediately. I will go and fetch the chieftain right away."

"Yes."

"Deacon Changfeng, I am a disciple of the Five Elements Sect. Our clan is currently facing a beast tide, and I must be at the forefront!"

Luo Mingfeng, who was standing at the back of the group of cultivators, strode to the front and volunteered:

"The sword in my hand is for both killing and protecting."

I will be the first to act, letting the demons test the sharpness of my sword!

Luo Mingfeng's eyes were firm, and an unstoppable burst of brilliant sharpness emanated from them, piercing people with a subtle pain.

  

"Besides, it will also allow me to experience life and death."

Originally, in order to protect Luo Mingfeng, this prodigy, the clan had arranged for him to stand behind the others.

They were all being protected.

After all, the Luo family had finally produced a genius of the Five Elements School, and they were unwilling to let him die prematurely.

But given Luo Mingfeng's personality, he certainly wouldn't obey.

"Sigh... Alright, let's set off now."

Luo Changfeng knew he couldn't dissuade Luo Mingfeng, so he gave his permission and then quickly flew away to find the group leader and clan leader.

But it was interrupted by a calm and authoritative voice.

"No need, Changfeng, I already know."

Luo Zheng, dressed in a gray-blue Taoist robe, descended slowly to the ground with a blank expression.

"Changfeng, call over a few of the clan's stewards first... I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zheng flew out of the Luo family's territory and disappeared into the Liuyun Mountain Range.

Subsequently, the ferocious and terrifying roars of the monsters in the deep mountains not far from the Luo family also ceased.

In an instant, all was silent.

The flames were intense, and huge, exaggerated seas of fire engulfed large areas in an instant, like giant waves.

Even from such a distance, Xu Mo could clearly sense that heart-pounding aura.

"Just as I expected, this beast tide is relatively small."

Before long, Luo Zheng, the head of the Luo family, returned to the family territory.

"Hmph, they're just some Qi Refining Perfection level demon beasts, yet they dare to declare war on my Luo family."

"How utterly foolish... I also took care of a batch of late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts while I was at it. You can go now."

"You'd better split up and each lead a group to deal with monsters of similar cultivation levels. This way you can hone your skills."

At this moment, Luo Changfeng had already returned with a group of Luo family stewards.

Upon hearing the order from clan leader Luo Zheng, he responded and prepared to immediately lead his men to go.

"Is this... the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"In just a breath, those roaring, war-declaring monsters were dealt with."

Seeing this, Xu Mo felt much more at ease.

He quietly put the wind speed talisman he was tightly clutching back into his storage bag.

"Going in batches, allowing the Luo family members to get some training, should be safer."

"Now that the most threatening demonic beast to the Luo family has been eliminated by the clan leader, I have no reason not to go."

Xu Mo secretly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

"This beast tide will surely bring many different kinds of monsters. If I can find the monsters I need to plunder... wouldn't that mean I can have a good feast?"

"Furthermore, according to the clan chief, there are deacons leading the team, so safety can be guaranteed."

Xu Mo slowly raised his eyes and looked at the deacons standing next to Luo Changfeng.

Upon closer inspection, the Luo family has a total of eight stewards.

Among the deacons, some are strong and some are weak.

Among them, the one with the highest cultivation and the strongest strength is Luo Zhenhai, the steward who guards the fishing grounds.

"The Luo family's fish farm is fed by water diverted from deep mountains and marshes... The water is still subject to the impact of beast tides."

"Why don't we just go with Luo Zhenhai?"

Having made his decision, Xu Mo immediately walked up from a distance behind the crowd and respectfully bowed to Luo Zheng.

He first took out the talismans he had made that day from his storage bag and handed them to Luo Changfeng.

Then, Xu Mo's expression turned serious.

"Deacon Changfeng, although I am a guest elder of the Luo family who makes talismans and am not skilled in combat, I will live and die with the Luo family..."

"I hope Deacon Changfeng will give me a chance to go up the mountain to kill the demonic beasts and do my part for the Luo family once again!"

Luo Changfeng's expression changed slightly when he heard the words "not good at fighting".

He defeated Luo Mingfeng, who was at the same level, just yesterday, and even said he wasn't good at fighting.

Luo Changfeng saw it with his own eyes, so he couldn't be fooled.

However, considering that the first-tier mid-grade golden light talisman made by Xu Mo would be of great help in resisting the beast tide, he still declined:

"You should go back and make talismans; we all need your Golden Light Talisman."

"Xu Mo... if you make a few more high-quality Golden Light Talismans, it will be a contribution to the clan's resistance against the beast tide."

Xu Mo had already made a plan to go to the fishing grounds to hunt monsters.

Naturally, he wouldn't give up easily, and he earnestly requested again:

"I'm making talismans in the Luo family's territory, yet I'm being shielded by my clansmen. I feel truly guilty and ashamed..."

"Just for tonight. After tonight, I will follow your request, Steward, and focus on making talismans in the clan's territory."

Even the smallest beast tide can last for several days.

Luo Changfeng hesitated.

Xu Mo's methods of killing were extremely sophisticated.

With Xu Mo's help, the pressure will definitely be reduced a lot.

So Luo Changfeng looked at Luo Zheng, who was still standing to the side, hoping that the clan leader could make a decision.

"Let him go. I've eliminated all the demonic beasts that could threaten the Luo family tonight, so there's nothing to worry about."

Luo Zheng glanced at Xu Mo and immediately sensed the sharp, restrained aura of Geng metal that Xu Mo was trying so hard to conceal.

"You... will go with Luo Zhenhai to guard the fishing grounds."

Xu Mo originally wanted to volunteer and try to follow Luo Zhenhai.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zheng arranged it for him directly.

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Xu Mo was naturally delighted that this suited his wishes.

But in order not to arouse suspicion, Xu Mo lowered his head slightly and his eyes narrowed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Chief. I will certainly live up to your expectations and protect the fishing grounds."

After saying that, Xu Mo walked up to Luo Zhenhai, said "Please give me your guidance," and returned to the middle of the group.

……

……

Xu Mo followed the team led by Luo Zhenhai to the fishing grounds not far from the Luo family's territory.

By this time, the fishing grounds had changed completely.

The strong smell of blood lingered for a long time, and the water in the eight fish ponds was all blood red.

Large, dark shadows swam across the water's surface from time to time, and occasionally one or two fish kept in the fishpond would leap out.

But soon, it was swallowed up by the gaping maw.

"The fishing grounds... have become like this."

Xu Mo released his divine sense, which spread to the No. 1 fishpond.

"My main purpose in coming here is to take advantage of the chaos and kill a few Golden Shield Sawfish..."

"Hopefully, not all of the Golden Shield Sawfish are dead."
