Chapter 67: Cultivation Is About Ways of the World
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Not long after Su Chen left, Elder Fan came to the front of the tattered corpses of the two dark creatures. He sized up the two dark creatures with a strange light in his eyes.
“What treasures! Their bodies are so tough. If I use them to refine artifacts, I may refine a few high-grade magic treasures!”
Elder Fan clicked his tongue.
Weapons in the cultivation world could be roughly divided into several types: mortal weapons, magic treasures, spiritual treasures, Dao weapons, sacred weapons, and imperial weapons.
Spiritual treasures were considered to be of the upper middle class. Usually, only the inner sect elders of the Great Mystery Sect possessed the spiritual treasures which were usually of not very high grades.
Generally, high-grade magic treasures were used by the outer sect elders of the Great Mystery Sect.
Right now, if he could refine the bodies of these dark creatures into high-grade magic treasures, the sect would achieve a small increase in strength.
Of course, the main reason was that Elder Fan happened to know some refining techniques. When he saw the corpses of these dark creatures, he could not help but feel a little itchy and wanted to use them to practice.
Unfortunately, he did not kill these two dark creatures, so he could not forcefully collect them.
“When Nephew Su Chen comes back, I will ask him if he still wants the corpses of these two dark creatures. If he doesn’t, it’s not impossible for me to buy them at a high price!”
Not long after.
Su Chen flew over from afar with Lu Zhen on his back.
When Su Chen found the third storage bracelet, he noticed Lu Zhen hiding not far away.
Lu Zhen’s injuries were still very serious, and even walking was a problem.
So Su Chen simply carried him back.
Lu Zhen rested his chin on Su Chen’s shoulder and closed his eyes in repose.
When many female disciples saw Lu Zhen, they had complex facial expressions, wishing that they were the ones being carried on Su Chen’s back.
They even wished that they were more severely injured than Lu Zhen.
After returning to the mountain peak, Su Chen casually found a clean rock and put Lu Zhen down. Then, he looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Elder Fan, who was beside the corpses of the two dark creatures.
Su Chen approached Elder Fan and stood behind him, asking, “Elder Fan, do you like the corpses of these two dark creatures?”
“You’re back?”
When Elder Fan heard this, he came back to his senses and looked at Su Chen. He then said with a smile, “Dark creatures haven’t appeared for many years. Every corpse is worth a lot. I’m indeed interested in them. I wonder…”
Elder Fan pondered for a moment.
What kind of price should he pay to make Su Chen part with these corpses?
“Since Elder Fan likes them, then I’ll give them to you.”
Su Chen said casually.
To him, the corpses of these two dark creatures were really useless.
He didn’t know how to refine artifacts, so keeping them in his hands would just be taking up space for nothing.
Since Elder Fan needed them, he would give them to him. After Elder Fan refined them into weapons, he would definitely give Su Chen one.
“You gave them to me?”
Elder Fan’s eyes twitched when he heard this. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief and said in a deep voice, “Do you know the value of these dark creatures’ corpses? Their world is different from ours. The dark creatures have been training their bodies since the beginning of their cultivation. It can be said that their corpses are the most precious wealth! Its value is even more precious than the cores of the Evilkind.”
The cores of the Evilkind were very precious in this world.
After all, they were the essence of the Evilkind.
However, compared to the corpses of the dark creatures, they were still inferior.
There were many evil beings in this world, but there was not a single dark creature!
Comparing the two, it was clear at a glance which one was more valuable.
“They’re just Qi Sea Realm dark creatures and are useless in my hands. Since Elder Fan wants them, I’ll give them to you to make the best of everything.”
Su Chen said slowly with a calm look as if he was talking about a very simple matter.
Elder Fan did not reply immediately.
He pondered for a moment, and a jade pendant appeared in his palm. He handed it to Su Chen and said solemnly, “The corpse of a dark creature is extremely valuable. Since you want to give them to me, I have to express my gratitude. When you return to the Great Mystery Sect, you can take my jade pendant to the Scripture Pavilion and choose an earth-level middle-rank cultivation method or martial art. If anyone asks, tell them that I told you!” “Thank you, Elder!”
Su Chen took the jade token and said in surprise.
Every time a small advance was made in an earth-level cultivation method, its value would increase by several times.
Using two dark creatures’ corpses to exchange for an earth-level middle-rank cultivation method or martial art was a profitable transaction.
“I should thank you. Dark creatures are much rarer than earth-level cultivation methods and martial arts.”
Elder Fan waved his hand and softly said.
“By the way, what kind of weapon do you like?”
Elder Fan asked again after Su Chen accepted the jade pendant.
“I am good at using swords.”
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly replied.
His long sword was gradually unable to keep up with his pace. If he used the Star Shattering Sword Art a few more times, it would probably break in an instant.
Elder Fan clearly meant by his remark that he wanted to refine a weapon for Su Chen!
Elder Fan nodded and continued, “I understand. Today, I owe you a favor. Oh, there’s another thing.”
Elder Fan seemed to recall something and looked at Su Chen. “An earth-level cultivation method or martial art is only one of the rewards. When you return to the sect, there should be other rewards. At that time, I will arrange for someone to send them to you.”
“There’s more?”
Su Chen’s eyes lit up.
He knew that this came after he gave the corpses of the dark creatures to Elder Fan.
If he hadn’t done that, he would probably have to collect the other rewards himself.
However, it was different now. Elder Fan would directly arrange for someone to deliver them to his door!
It seemed like…
Cultivation was not about fighting and killing but about the ways of the world!
Su Chen expressed his gratitude to Elder Fan.
Elder Fan nodded gently and did not say anything else.
With a wave of his sleeve, he collected the two corpses of the dark creatures on the ground.
Then, he glanced at the remaining inner sect disciples with a hint of gloominess in the depths of his eyes.
More than 1,000 inner sect disciples came out.
In the end, only a little over 500 of them returned!
More than half of the inner disciples died here, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Great Mystery Sect.
“Golden Lion!”
Elder Fan shouted.
In the sky.
The enormous golden-furred lion let out a loud roar as if it had heard some kind of instruction.
Its body, which was already more than ten meters tall, suddenly grew like a mountain, emitting an intimidating aura.
Elder Fan waved his sleeve lightly, and a breeze blew past. He lifted all the inner sect disciples and sat them on the back of the golden lion.
After everyone had settled down, the golden lion turned into a golden light and quickly flew toward the Great Mystery Sect..
