Chapter 794
News on Elemental Demons
C-can we help you? inquired Xuan Zhengtang, fearing Mu Yu wanted to silence them.
Mu Yu pointed to the beautiful leopard on the ground. You forgot it.
Pl-please pardon us for trying to snatch it from you before. We should never have coveted it.
You bought it from me, so its rightfully yours.
Beautiful leopards sell for substantially more than 120,000 spirit stones. We would not dare to sell you short. Please consider it our apology, instead.
I accepted 120,000. That means I believe its worth 120,000. Its up to you what you want to do with it. I dont care if you want to let it rot there.
Are you sure you want to sell it to us for 120,000?
I dont change my mind after I accept payment.
Elated, Xuan Zhengtang nudged his daughter to continue dealing with the beautiful leopards corpse. She, nevertheless, went over to pillage the three from Stellar Manor.
Do you know who Gong Lixuan is? They are now adjuncts of Celestial Star Sect, cautioned Xuan Zhengtang, once he was done with the beautiful leopards corpse.
Xuan Zhengtang was not sympathetic, but he was worried for the young man.
Im not interested in hearing about a dead man.
Mu Yus identity further piqued Xuan Zhengtangs curiosity. Nonetheless, the latter knew when to not pry.
You must have heard him back there and know something. We shall not disturb you any longer.
Suddenly, Xuan Sitong came running over with Gong Lixuans assets. He has a lot of spirit stones and valuables. Do you want them?
You can keep them.
Thirty-eight level five fiend souls, a valuable flying sword that resembles the work of a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator, a spirit stone jade piece from Baiwan company, lets see how much that adds up to
Xuan Sitong covered her mouth upon working out it totalled a million spirit stones.
We cant take that, Sitong.
But dad
No. Have you forgotten my teachings?
Xuan Sitong reluctantly placed the stuff back down. Okay. I understand its not our property.
In short, Xuan Zhengtang deemed it Mu Yus property because the latter was the one who killed the trio.
Mu Yu and Xiaoshuai did not even bat an eye when the father and daughter left the jade piece behind.
Xuan Zhengtang and his daughter stopped under a white birch for the latter to bandage his injured arm again and then transfer spiritual energy to him.
This injury is getting worse. I think itll take me several days before I regain full control of it.
Dad, I still cant believe Gong Lixuan has a million spirit stones.
I feel as though it isnt much if hes Stellar Manors young master and an adjunct of Celestial Star Sect.
Thats one million, Dad. If we had it, we would nearly have enough to nurse Mothers injuries. Patriarch said only a rank six taishi purple sky pill can heal her injuries, but that costs five million
Its all Dads fault for failing to protect your mother.
Dont beat yourself over it, Dad. Its all because of those elemental demons who ambushed us. As an ultimate immortal, I will have a chance to avenge her! Somewhat despondent, Xuan Sitong recommended, Dad, we couldve negotiated with him. He didnt seem hostile. I dont think he would have an issue with us tak-
Enough! We fight for what is rightfully ours, but we cant covet what isnt ours. He not only saved our lives but also sold the beautiful leopard to us for a fraction of the market price. We should consider ourselves lucky to have received that much. We cant take a mile just because people give us an inch.
Special circumstances require special solutions, though. We wont make it in time to save Mother at this rate.
Sitong, Dad swears to collect five million spirit stones. We can get what we need with our own hands.
Why did you give me 120,000 spirit stones if youre in desperate need of money? asked Mu Yu, appearing before the father and daughter.
Because the market price of it is 500,000. Since you took out its fiend soul, its only worth around 300,000. The 120,000 is for your contribution. My dad taught me to have pride and not take advantage of people.
Have pride, huh? Mu Yu tossed the spirit stone jade over. Here.
Xuan Sitong fumbled as she tried to get a hold of the jade piece. Why are you giving it to us?
Because you need help, replied Xiaoshuai, still nibbling on the beautiful leopards thigh.
My Dad said we have to earn our keep. Take it back, stated Xuan Sitong, throwing it back to Mu Yu.
Juggling the jade piece in his hand, Mu Yu inquired, I heard you mention elemental demons ambushed your mother. Whats that about?
The elemental demons on Third Heaven Continent have ceaselessly increased their attacks. Last month, they assaulted a city we were at out of nowhere. My mother was set alight while trying to cover our retreat. The fire is still burning her as we speak?
Shes still burning? What?
Some fire demons use cultivators spiritual energy as a flammable, resulting in their flames burning until the cultivator runs out of spiritual energy; nobody with spiritual energy is impervious to it. Once our spiritual energy is depleted, the fire will burn our dantian, consequently erasing our cultivation. The only fix is to consume a taishi purple sky pill. Sadly, we cannot afford it, explained Xuan Zhengtang You may be unaware, but it has been so long since their last attack that we have forgotten their abilities. Third Heaven Palace placed jade slips at every city that contains information on elemental demons to empower us with knowledge. There are enough jade slips for everybody.
Mu Yu checked out the white jade slip Xuan Zhengtang passed him and found that the formation installed was a memory formation capable of transferring knowledge from the caster to the owner of the jade slip. Upon sending his consciousness in for a deep dive, Mu Yu acquired an abundance of knowledge on elemental demons as promised.
Like cultivators, elemental demons were classified based on element type and might, the latter being divided into four categories, namely, Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow (descending order of power). As one might expect, the higher the level, the fewer there were of them.
A Yellow Level elemental demon was the equivalent of a human Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
A Black Level elemental demon was on par with Golden Core and Primordial Infant Realm cultivators.
Earth Level elemental demons were comparable to Body Severing and Spirit Severing Realm cultivators.
Heaven Level elemental demons were the counterpart of Body Synthesis Realm cultivators.
Within each level were low-tiers and high-tiers similarly to cultivators layers within each realm. High-tier Earth Level compared to Spirit Severing Realm, while Low-tier Earth Level corresponded to Body Severing Realm.
If a cultivator encountered a Heaven Level elemental demon, they might as well have given up while they were ahead. After all, given Heaven Level fire demons could turn cultivators spiritual energy against them, the cultivators were hapless. Only Body Synthesis Realm cultivators and above could circumvent the problem.
