BXBX NOVEL Chapter 129 - 129: Teeth Grinding Stick
On the surface of the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan was surrounded by eleven giant tortoises. Counting the one under his feet, that made twelve in total.
Xu Fan came up with a grand name for these twelve giant tortoises – the Twelve Divine Turtles of the Giant Lake.
Frankly speaking, ever since Xu Fan took control of the God Transformation stage tortoise-dragon, the entire Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake had returned to calm. All the demonic beasts in the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake had distanced themselves from the land area under the command of the tortoise-dragon.
He meticulously fed each of the giant turtles with the Spirit-Nourishing Pill in his hand.
“Your bloodlines are too mixed – you have the bloodline of the Heavenly Earth Turtle, the tortoise-dragon, and the Seabed Tortoise.”
“These are not surprising. After all, they are all from the turtle clan of the Endless Sea.’
“But why do you also carry the bloodline of the Deep Sea Tortoise-Dragon and Soul-Seizing Giant Shark?”
Recently, Xu Fan had been studying the Path of Beast Control, and had developed a bit of understanding towards the bloodline of demonic beasts.
At this moment, a huge wave rose on the distant lake, and a giant tortoise-dragon head obscured half of the sky above Xu Fan’s head.
“Roar-.”
“You’re saying that in the Endless Sea, the bloodlines of the demonic beasts are all mixed like this.” Xu Fan looked up at the small red flower on the tortoise-dragon’s head as he spoke. He casually flicked a Spirit-Nourishing Pill at it. Even though it was of little use, it was a token of goodwill since it had appeared.
“Woof~~~”
“You mean that pure-blooded demonic beasts cannot survive in the Endless
Sea. ”
The tortoise-dragon nodded its head.
Xu Fan flicked another Spirit-Nourishing Pill, “Don’t be shy, consider it as snacking on sunflower seeds.”
“You really had a hard life before.” Xu Fan sympathetically looked at the tortoise-dragon’s head.
Only after Xu Fan opened up the spiritual intelligence of this God
Transformation stage old turtle did he discover that it had been kicked out of the Endless Sea and was forced to scrape a living in the Luo Tian River of the Central Continent.
The method to open up the spiritual intelligence of a demonic beast was something Xu Fan only came into contact with after getting this group of little turtles.
For cultivators who walk the Path of Beast Control, the first technique they learn is the Spirit-opening Technique. This technique only works on demonic beasts that are completely surrendered to you. The purer the bloodline, the higher the success rate.
Initially, it took Xu Fan a lot of effort to open up the spiritual intelligence of these little turtles.
“Wait till I find a way to purify your bloodlines, and then you all can evolve into guardian divine beasts for the sect.” Xu Fan looked at the giant tortoises and spoke.
If there was a foreign invasion in the future and suddenly twelve divine beast dragon turtles sprang out from the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, just imagining that scenario seemed interesting.
As he watched a small red flower slowly sink to the bottom of the lake, Xu Fan suddenly felt that raising a bunch of turtles was very compatible with his damn system.
After his upcoming promotion to the Mahayana stage, he would have to wait for at least a few thousand years. By that time, his disciples might have all ascended to the fairy world. In the end, the only ones who could possibly accompany him might be this group of turtles.
Thinking of this, Xu Fan’s gaze towards this group of giant turtles became even more tender.
“Next time when I refine the pills for you, I’ll be more mindful and strive to let you all eat top-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pill.” Xu Fan said lightly with a smile.
He remembered an old joke from his past life – if you properly raised a turtle, it could outlive three generations of your family. (Xu Fan once really wanted to raise a Sulcata Tortoise, but raising it without a license was a risk he was not willing to take.)
At this moment, Xu Fan knitted his brows.
“Moon Immortal, your hiding techniques have already become quite perfect.”
“But if you want to deceive me, you’re still a bit lacking. Do you think that just because you’re merging into the lake water I wouldn’t be able to find you?” Xu Fan asked blandly.
Xu Yuexian’s figure slowly rose from the surface of the lake. She was holding a notebook in her hand as she watched Xu Fan, waiting for him to explain how he had discovered her.
“You were detected by Pu Tao. You can ask her about it later.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Now, Xu Fan had finished feeding the turtles. He waved his hand and let the remaining eleven turtles go for a stroll, leaving only the one at his feet.
Xu Yue landed on the turtle shell, took out a tea set, and began to prepare tea for Xu Fan.
“This should be a big harvest, or else you wouldn’t have come back so soon.” Xu Fan had just seen some messages about the end of the ruins of the Demonic Clan’s Holy Ground, and it seemed to be nearing its end.
The merchants guarding there had mostly retreated.
“That’s all right, it’s just about the amount of Spirit Stones Master earns in a month.” Xu Yuexian said proudly while continuing to make tea.
“You must be feeling nervous?” Xu Fan laughed.
As Xu Yuexian brewed the new tea, an enchanting tea aroma dispersed into the air with the faint smoke.
“Quite a hefty amount, this Spirit Tea probably costs 100,000 Spirit Stones per tael.” Xu Fan said while smelling the enchanting aroma of the tea.
“Now that I’ve earned some Spirit Stones, shouldn’t I treat my Master to a cup?” Xu Yuexian said politely. Each time she returned to the sect after a long journey, it was only when she saw Xu Fan that she felt like she was home.
“Haha, Yuexian, you always know how to make me happy.” Xu Fan laughed. “Master, I met an interesting person at the Demonic Clan’s Holy Ground.”
Xu Yuexian recounted to Xu Fan how she teamed up with Ye Xiaoyao and how they plotted against each other in the end.
“Sword King Sect, Sword Formation Dao.”
“Why can’t I escape from it?” Xu Fan was a bit annoyed, but he didn’t panic too much.
“Master, is there something wrong with that guy?” Xu Yuexian asked, puzzled. “Not much, just keep your distance if you see him again.”
“People like him carry a lot of Qi fortune. If you’re near him, you will face endless trials.” Xu Fan said.
“Although I don’t understand what Master means, it must be right to stay away from him.”
Xu Yuexian then took out the bunch of treasures she had obtained from the Demonic Clan’s Holy Ground, whose value was unappraisable.
“Master, can you help me see if there are any treasures in here?” Xu Yuexian asked expectantly.
Xu Fan only took a casual glance and made a face as if he was expecting this outcome, thinking, you got stuck with unappraisable treasures with Zhu Jiao how could it possibly be good?
“Just throw them all away, the only thing of any use is that Demonic Tribe Cub’s Teething Stick, you can keep it as a souvenir.” Xu Fan shook his head. At this moment, he estimated that Zhu Jiao was busy selling treasures. At the same time, in the Immortal City closest to the Sword King Sect…
“Senior, the price is too low.”
“This pile of Exotic Treasures unique to the Demon Clan is worth at least 200 million Spirit Stones.”
“If your Chamber of Commerce can’t offer this price, I, the junior, can only consider another Chamber of Commerce.” Ye Xiaoyao seemed confident, thinking that if he was not in a hurry to sell, he could ask for another few hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
“Old Jian, thanks, I didn’t expect there would be so many good things in that pile of unapprisable treasures.” Ye Xiaoyao said in his heart. At this moment, he had never felt so wealthy before – his net worth had finally reached one hundred million.
“Although this Immortal Emperor doesn’t have his past memories, I still have a good eye.”
“The stuff that the girl who worked with you chose, is probably only worth something because of that teething stick.” Old Jian said smugly at the bottom of Ye Xiaoyao’s heart.
“Young man, you hold my intentions very close to your heart. Fine, we’ll go with your proposed price.” The God Transformation Stage Treasure Appraiser said helplessly. Initially, he thought he could make a profit, but on the contrary, he met a professional like Ye Xiaoyao, and in the end, he managed to get a bitter commission.
Only after Ye Xiaoyao placed a large order for spiritual mines at Chamber of Commerce did the Treasure Appraiser’s expression improve.
Feeling relieved, Ye Xiaoyao, who was walking on the road, said to Old Jian in his heart: “What do you say if 1 replace all the spiritual swords with the Treasure Artifact of the Third-tier Five-element Spirit Sword?”
“l could easily suppress a few God Transformation cultivators.” Ye Xiaoyao said, figuring that he can barely afford to replace all the spiritual swords with the money he’s got.
At this moment, Old Jian leisurely said: “Do you know how many spirit stones a Dao Artifact Level Spirit Sword would cost?”
“Hey, I was in a good mood, why do you have to bring up something depressing?”
He probably couldn’t even afford half with the number of spirit stones he had now..
