166 The Way of Exploitation (Part 2)
Each special plaque could protect dozens of people in the Demon-extinguishing Sea for more than ten years.
When Fang Jinyu first came to the upper realm, the ship he encountered was able to travel safely in the Demon-extinguishing Sea because it carried a special plaque.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the plaque was sold by the Sin Beast King to the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.
At this moment, a dense swarm of Sin Beasts surged out.
Fang Jinyu raised his hand and waved, and streaks of lightning descended.
For a time, countless beasts were killed or injured.
However, the Sin Beasts, whose lives and deaths were unknown, were still surging crazily. Their ferocious appearance made people’s scalps go numb and was scarier than the zombie wall.
This time, Fang Jinyu didn’t change his location. He only killed the Sin Beasts in one place.
Finally, after Fang Jinyu had killed an unknown number of Sin Beasts, there was a different movement under the water.
“Little immortal king, I wonder why you are killing the Sin Beasts in such a way?”
Accompanied by a gentle but strange voice, the nearby Sin Beast King appeared!
However, it wasn’t the one Fang Jinyu had seen before.
It was because no eyes were emerging from the bottom of the water. There were only strands of hair that looked like seaweed, turning the entire sea red.
Fang Jinyu saw that the Sin Beast King didn’t have any killing intent, just like last time, so he asked directly, “Sin Beast King, do you sell information?”
Fang Jinyu wasn’t here to kill the Sin Beast King to calm his nerves.
Instead, Fang Jinyu wanted to buy some information.
“It depends on the situation. Sometimes I sell it, and sometimes I don’t.” Under the Demon-extinguishing Sea, the strands of hair disappeared. Afterward, a blurry, twisted figure floated out of the water.
“What is the origin of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator who ascended from the Mountain River Realm?” Fang Jinyu asked what he wanted to know.
“A magic treasure.” The Sin Beast King made a bid.
Fang Jinyu stretched out his hand, and with a flash of light, a lamp-shaped magic treasure appeared in his palm. Afterward, he casually threw the golden spiritual fire lamp.
The power of the magic treasure was passable and could be used as an ordinary means of fighting enemies. However, Fang Jinyu could not fully activate the power of the spiritual fire within.
However, the restrictive enchantment was like chicken ribs to Fang Jinyu. It was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
The distorted figure took the golden spiritual fire lamp and immediately nodded in satisfaction. Afterward, he said, “Wei Yanyi, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Everlasting Joy Sect in the Mountain River Realm. However, Wei Yanyi didn’t break through the Nascent Soul stage with normal methods. Wei Yanyi had the lifespan of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator but didn’t have the ability of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Little immortal king, if you want to deal with Wei Yanyi, I suggest you stop for now, because this person won’t live for long.”
Fang Jinyu asked directly, “Why?”
The Sin Beast King said, “I have the power to see someone’s luck. Although Wei Yanyi has good luck, the luck contains sorcery. It’s a sign that Wei Yanyi will die!”
After saying it, the Sin Beast King weighed the golden spiritual fire lamp in his hand and threw it back.
“Little immortal king, let’s call off this deal. How about we become friends?”
Fang Jinyu took the magic treasure and immediately understood that the other party had seen his luck. He could sense the “emptiness” of his luck, but someone like the Sin Beast King should not be able to “see” it.
Thus, Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and said, “Han Feiyu, how should I address you?”
“I am Yuyan.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the distorted figure disappeared without a trace.
However, under the surface of the water, one could still see the dense red hair, which was rapidly shrinking toward the deep sea.
It made Fang Jinyu, who wanted to complain about why Yuyan didn’t call himself the little dragon girl, fall silent for a moment. It was because the other party only took a moment to completely leave the range of his divine senses.
With the range of Fang Jinyu’s divine sense, the other party couldn’t run so far in an instant, unless it was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who controlled the myriad energies of heaven and earth.
However, the Sin Beast King wasn’t a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
“Even if the Demon-extinguishing Sea can ridiculously increase the strength of the Sin Beasts, it will only show in terms of battle strength…” Fang Jinyu suddenly understood the situation and thought, “No wonder the Sin Beasts can be so unrestrained in the Demon-extinguishing Sea. It turns out that they had mastered an extremely profound concealment technique.”
At this moment, seeing that there were still some mindless evil beasts surging up from below, Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but sigh. If he didn’t have the immortal seed and cultivated the lightning heavenly book, he would probably be helpless against them.
Although Fang Jinyu wasn’t afraid, he was tired of killing.
After all, Fang Jinyu wasn’t an immortal cultivator who specialized in slaughter, so he didn’t have much hostility.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu prepared to take out the special plaque.
However, Fang Jinyu couldn’t find it.
In the past, Fang Jinyu could casually find what he wanted in his storage ring. However, this time, he couldn’t find the special plaque.
The situation surprised Fang Jinyu. He used his divine sense to scan the storage ring’s space and found that the ordinary items he had placed in the storage ring’s “space” were all there, except for the special plaque.
In an instant, Fang Jinyu thought of what Qing Fu had mentioned.
The storage rings were the “collections” of a certain existence or someone else, who was ready to make a transaction at any time.
“But why did he take the special plaque?”
Fang Jinyu was surprised.
It was because although not everyone in the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City had such a plaque, it wasn’t considered a precious item. Basically, every Core Formation stage cultivator had one. As for the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, at least one-third of them had such a special plaque.
As for the possibility of the Sin Beast King taking away the special plaque…
The possibility was extremely low.
Therefore, what Qing Fu said was more likely.
Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu used Qing Fu’s secret technique, “I’m good at hiding.” As soon as he used the secret technique, the crazy Sin Beasts below instantly quieted down.
In an instant, they scattered, leaving only a few waves that rippled with the wind.
However, Fang Jinyu hadn’t left.
Fang Jinyu pondered, “Since the other party took the plaque, it’s most likely that it’s near the Demon-extinguishing Sea. Since the other party needs this thing, there is a high chance that the other party’s cultivation base isn’t high.”
Fang Jinyu immediately decided to give it a try.
Fang Jinyu wanted to see if he could catch a cultivator who specialized in exploitation here.
It would be best if Fang Jinyu could catch him.
However, if Fang Jinyu couldn’t catch it or if the other party’s cultivation exceeded his expectations and was extremely powerful, then forget it. Apart from that, just in case, he was also prepared to use the skyrocket scripture to enhance the lightning-disappear technique at any time while calling out to Qing Fu in his heart.
Once Fang Jinyu sensed that something was wrong, he would immediately escape!
Unfortunately, even when Qing Fu turned into a gust of sea breeze and floated in front of Fang Jinyu, he still couldn’t catch the immortal cultivator who specialized in exploitation.
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you also use this secret technique?”
Qing Fu had sent him a voice transmission, but he didn’t see her. Therefore, it could only mean that the little girl had also used “I’m good at hiding.”
“Mother, you used it first!”
Qing Fu’s confident voice sounded.
Fang Jinyu was speechless because he didn’t know how to answer, so he simply told Qing Fu about the disappearance of the things in the storage ring.
Qing Fu immediately said, “Mother, are you waiting here for them to return it to you? Alright. They’re coming over, you can go ask them to give it back to you.”
Fang Jinyu was puzzled.
Fang Jinyu hurriedly released his divine sense, but he didn’t see anyone.
At this moment, a small hand suddenly covered Fang Jinyu’s right eye and said, “Mother, you can only look at them with your left eye. Otherwise, you can’t see them.”
As soon as Qing Fu finished speaking, Fang Jinyu saw two figures.
The two of them were dressed in golden-white robes and wore high crowns. They were dressed in ancient clothes and each held a jade scepter. At this moment, one of them was holding a plaque that Fang Jinyu was very familiar with.
It was the special plaque produced by the Sin Beast King!
