Chapter 489 Killing Them All
As soon as they walked through the illusory gate in the stone archway, the noise in the station was audible, but it was not messy.
Su Li glanced roughly, and then strolled around with Xuan An.
There were stalls on both sides of the earth and stone street. There were many unidentified objects obtained from the relics in most of the stalls. If a person who intended to buy them, he or she would be drawn into a separate Sound-proof Matrix by the stall owner to talk in detail.
Besides the street stalls, Su Li also saw many bulletin boards erected on the side of the street. On those bulletin boards, a little bit of spiritual light shone. The messages on them could be seen at a glance with the divine awareness.
“These spiritual messages on those bulletin boards are mainly about recruiting helpers to explore the relics together.”
After Xuan An scanned dozens of bulletin boards, the hope in his eyes was slightly bleak. But he still smiled, “We will look for carefully, and we will get what we want finally.”
After he said this, his eyes focused suddenly. He turned his head abruptly, but saw nothing.
“Is it an illusion?”
Xuan An frowned. He always felt that there were people who peeped at him behind.
“Senior Fellow Apprentice?”
When Su Li called him, he immediately returned to his senses. He smiled normally, “Let’s go and look for the jade again.”
Su Li nodded slightly. Her eyes naturally swept across the two corners behind her.
There were two groups of faint pneuma focused on Xuan An. They should not be from a same force, and the strength of one of them was strong enough.
However, for Su Li, the strength of the two groups was not much different, and she didn’t bother herself to take them seriously.
Half a day later, Xuan An and Su Li saw all the bulletin boards in the station. There was news indeed about Mushui spiritual jade. But it was said that Mushui spiritual jades were all in the depths of the relics.
Seeing Xuan An put the disappointment on his face without hiding, Su Li was amused secretly in her heart. But she still comforted him, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, don’t worry. I see that the messages on the bulletin boards change every day. We can wait here. In a few days, maybe we will run into it with good luck.”
“That’s what we only can do now.”
Xuan An sighed and agreed with Su Li’s advice. But he didn’t have much hope in his heart, and he was even thinking about which branch of Huangxing Chamber of Commerce he would go.
After Xuan An took a deep breath, his eyes became firm again.
He had no choice. Since he had already promised Su Li that he would help her find Mushui spiritual jade, he would definitely not break his promise!
“Young Lord is really naive…”
The old man who secretly protected Xuan An shook his head, but a smile line appeared on his face, “I would rather arrange a surprise for this kid. But if I do that… will the master think that I spoil him?”
In the next few days, Xuan An took Su Li to read every bulletin board. Unfortunately, the spiritual messages on those bulletin boards changed every day, but there was still no information about Mushui spiritual jade.
“Junior Sister Apprentice, I think… we have better go to Huangxing Chamber of Commerce.”
In front of one bulletin board, Xuan An turned his head and said that after he withdrew his divine awareness and sighed deeply.
Su Li was about to nod. But at this moment, a pract.i.tioner hurried over, stretched out his palm and pressed a spiritual rune into the groove of the bulletin board. And then he hurried to the next bulletin board without looking at it.
Boom!
A burst of light emerged from the bulletin board. Xuan An was stunned for a moment and intercepted the extra spiritual message.
“Spiritual light shone in the burial ground of poisonous insects in the outer area of the relics, and the top spiritual treasure appeared. There are many venomous insect demons! We are now recruiting pract.i.tioners at least in Jindan Realm to go with us. As for the remuneration… those who kill the most venomous insect demons can exchange for Mushui spiritual jade with the cores of venomous insect demons!”
When Xuan An read the last line of words, his eyes shone instantly. He said in surprise, “We got the news. Mushui spiritual jade is in the outer area of the relics. Let’s go and see.”
Su Li’s eyes flickered slightly and also showed surprise. Then she followed Xuan An and left.
Not long after, they came to the stone archway of the station. From a distance, Xuan An saw a group of people who gathered there and were surrounded by temporary wooden fences.
Xuan An roughly counted and knew that there were more than fifty people. The middle-aged pract.i.tioner in front didn’t have high cultivation and was only in the early stage of Yuanying Realm. But according to his clothes and the flying sword in his hand, he must have an extraordinary background.
Xuan An thought for a while, but did not find any juniors who matched this man. However, he was only familiar with the famous sects of Jiuli Region. Qingshui Circle was so big. This person possibly came from other big regions. Maybe he heard the news and came here.
“Stop!”
Xuan An approached, but was immediately stopped by two guard-like men with serious appearances. Xuan An immediately held his fists and smiled, “Fellow pract.i.tioners, we have received the news from the bulletin board, and we are here to help.”
As soon as he said that, the hostility in the eyes of the two guards was slightly reduced. One of them coldly said, “My master is recruiting the pract.i.tioners in Jindan Realm, not the young master and miss who came out for a sightseeing tour. If you want to join my master’s team, you must have the corresponding strength!”
Xuan An was not annoyed when he heard what the guard said. He stepped forward and the pneuma of the peak of Jindan Realm was undoubtedly revealed. Su Li also cooperated to show the cultivation in the early stage of Jindan Realm.
The guard’s look changed suddenly. He changed his previously indifferent att.i.tude, and also held his fists. And then he said cheerfully, “Please come in!”
Xuan An smiled and nodded while entering the enclosure. The well-dressed middle-aged pract.i.tioner immediately came to them, “Two young heroes, you are very young but already in Jindan Realm. You must be of extraordinary origin. Please forgive my servants for being offensive to you.”
“It’s okay. I understand that in the cultivation circle, only powerhouse is worthy of respect.”
Xuan An waved his hand and said casually. The middle-aged pract.i.tioner touched his universe ring and took out two pieces of crystal aqua blue spiritual jade.
“They are for an apology. Please accept them!”
Seeing them, Su Li’s originally calm and well-behaved face instantly looked serious. She stared at the spiritual jade in the hand of the middle-aged pract.i.tioner. At the same time, she applied Suiyu Tactics in her body. Immediately, a subtle water spiritual force detached from the spiritual jade and melted into her body.
At this moment, Su Li immediately felt that the firm bottleneck of Jindan Realm was disintegrating. But it only disintegrated one ten-thousandth part, and then stopped.
Mushui spiritual jade worked for that!
Su Li’s gaze changed and a flash of thought flashed in her eyes. Since Mushui spiritual jade were useful, would the other Mu spiritual jades with the Five Elements also be effective?
Among Mu spiritual jades with the Five Elements, the only precious ones were Mushui and Mumu spiritual jades. These two kinds of spiritual jades were the holy medicine for healing. And they were the raw materials of Shengrong Elixir and Shengji Elixir. The other three kinds of spiritual jades were much more ordinary.
After this experiment, Su Li had a preliminary estimate in her mind. If she wanted to break through the bottleneck of Jindan Realm, she would need tens of thousands of spiritual jades. Mushui spiritual jade was not high in output, so it was obviously not realistic to use it for cultivation.
Xuan An didn’t want to accept them at first. But when he saw Su Li’s expression with concentration and interest, he didn’t refuse finally. After taking the spiritual jades, he held his fists and said thank you.
Mushui spiritual jade was not precious for him. Although Jiguang Sect did not collect many Mushui spiritual jades, he knew that the treasures that his father collected were much rarer than Mushui spiritual jade. Any one of them was as valuable as thousands of Mushui spiritual jade!
However, if he really took those things to exchange for Mushui spiritual jade, he didn’t know if they could be exchanged, but he would definitely be taken back by his father and held in solitary confinement…
Thinking of the confinement he had been in these years, Xuan An shook his head vigorously. Getting rid of the weird thought in his mind, he put the spiritual jades into Su Li’s hands and transmitted his voice,
“Although I don’t know this person, he is generous, humble and polite. I think he won’t break his promise for that little reward. Junior Sister Apprentice, don’t worry.”
As Su Li held the still warm spiritual jades in her hands, she pursed her lips slightly and hesitated to transmit her voice, “I can convince my master with these two Mushui spiritual jades. I don’t want you to be in danger, Senior Fellow Apprentice.”
As Xuan An was moved, he couldn’t help laughing and said helplessly, “Gifts blind the eyes. He said these two spiritual jades were for apology, so you really believed him? If we are about to leave, we will be stopped in all probability.”
“It should be this?!”
A panic appeared in Su Li’s eyes, “Let’s give back these spiritual jades and leave now!”
“Rest a.s.sured. Don’t worry.”
Xuan An pressed the spiritual jades back to Su Li’s palm. He blinked and said, “Many people are going with us together. So, you don’t need to be afraid. If it is really dangerous, we just ran away.”
“Well… Fine.”
Su Li nodded worriedly. After she lowered her head and looked at Mushui spiritual jades in her hand, a flash of mockery flashed in her eyes.
They found Mushui spiritual jade for only a few days, and then it was delivered to them obediently. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
Besides… She glanced back at the pract.i.tioners who came in behind them. Although they seemed to be casual pract.i.tioners, the pneuma that exuded from them had the same origin as the middle-aged pract.i.tioner.
And for most of the people waiting in the enclosure, she had actually sensed them in one of the group people who were staring at Xuan An in secret.
“It’s interesting. Since Xuan An doesn’t want to leave, I will see who wants to trouble him.”
Thinking of this, Su Li curled her lips. She followed Xuan An and pretended that she knew nothing.
Xuan An obviously couldn’t detect this. He only took Su Li to sit down and wait patiently.
When it got late, the number of people in the enclosure reached eighty.
Su Li was surprised to find that the second group of people who secretly followed Xuan An also sneaked in. The two groups were mixed together, and no one recognized the true purpose of the other. The atmosphere was strange and harmonious.
The well-dressed middle-aged pract.i.tioner also frowned at this moment. In order to attract Xuan An alone, the people he sent clearly only deliberately issued the notice in front of Xuan An.
It had been an accident that Su Li who he didn’t know came here. When he gathered his own people, more than thirty casual pract.i.tioners came in one after another. Judging from Xuan An’s reaction, none of them came from Jiguang Sect.
“Master, there are more than thirty casual pract.i.tioners. How should this be handled?”
An underling showed hesitation. After the middle-aged pract.i.tioner who smiled heard the words, he narrowed his eyes and then smiled more casually.
“They are just some pract.i.tioners in Jindan Realm. Since they come without being invited, we can kill them all together. After we kill Xuan An and get the reward, we will leave Jiuli Region!”
Many people who dressed like guards were stunned. They all lowered their heads and said yes. The skinny old man who had been resting on the side also opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Seeing that, the middle-aged pract.i.tioner smiled even more happily. He didn’t care about these guards. As long as the skinny old man agreed, they wouldn’t fail under any circ.u.mstances. As for the others, even they all died, it didn’t matter.
