20: Chapter 20 Blood Sun Grass Acquired
Before long, Chen Yuanjin arrived at the talisman shop.
She looked at Chen Changqing, and then glanced at Zhang Daniu beside him. Zhang Daniu was very tactful and stood up to leave the place.
"Changqing, is this person trustworthy?" After waiting for Zhang Daniu to leave, Chen Yuanjin asked with a cautious look in her eyes.
"Sixth Aunt, in the Immortal Realm, apart from our clansmen, no one is one hundred percent trustworthy. As long as we keep him here and wait until you bring back that blood sun grass before we pay the Spirit Stone, how about that?" Chen Changqing pondered and said.
"That works too. Let him in, and we can understand the specific situation there," Chen Yuanjin agreed.
Chen Changqing walked out of the room and invited Zhang Daniu back in.
"It seems Senior also agrees," Zhang Daniu said with a smile.
"Mhm, I need to know the situation there now. If the news is true, the eight hundred Spirit Stones will be handled as Changqing said. Before we return, you will just stay here first." Chen Yuanjin's tone carried a hint of detachment.
"It should be so." Zhang Daniu took out the map he had drawn long ago, and then solemnly said. He was not afraid of the Chen Family playing tricks, unless they were willing to ruin the reputation they had managed for a long time just for this little benefit.
After a while, Chen Yuanjin took her leave and departed immediately.
"Brother Zhang, we will just wait here. I believe my Sixth Aunt will definitely be able to bring back that blood sun grass." Chen Changqing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly.
"I still trust the strength of the Family." Zhang Daniu nodded.
...
In a deep canyon, Chen Yuanjin brought Chen Yuanhai and Chen Yuanyi down to land above the canyon.
"This is the place." Chen Yuanjin put away the map, and then carefully observed her surroundings.
"Hmm? That really is a Rank 1 High Grade Rock Armor Rhinoceros. This kind of Yao Beast has an extremely terrifying defense force. Even Cultivators in the Late Qi Refining Stage find it very difficult to produce enough destructive power against it."
Chen Yuanhai had a solemn expression. At first, the three of them had some guesses, but when they actually saw it, they were still somewhat wary.
"Take out the beast-seeking incense, later I will go attract its attention, and you guys will take the opportunity to take away the blood sun grass." Chen Yuanjin's beautiful eyes flashed as she instructed.
"Understood." The two nodded, and proceeded according to what they had discussed earlier.
Chen Yuanyi handed the beast-seeking incense to Chen Yuanjin, and then together with Chen Yuanhai watched Chen Yuanjin leave.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Yuanjin drove the qingyang sword and slowly arrived at the bottom of the canyon, about a hundred zhang away from the Rock Armor Rhinoceros.
Then she took out the beast-seeking incense, lit it, stuck it on the ground, and waited for the Rock Armor Rhinoceros to arrive.
After a while.
"Huff!" From not far away, the breathing of the Rock Armor Rhinoceros sounded. When it rushed toward this side, the ground even shook unsteadily.
Chen Yuanjin quickly drove the qingyang sword to rise into the air, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Rock Armor Rhinoceros.
"Huff!"
When the Rock Armor Rhinoceros was less than ten zhang away from here, Chen Yuanjin threw out a golden sword talisman to strike the Rock Armor Rhinoceros, successfully angering it, and then she led the Rock Armor Rhinoceros away from here.
"It's time." Chen Yuanhai looked into the distance and said to Chen Yuanyi beside him.
Chen Yuanyi nodded.
The two each took out a qingyang sword from their Storage Pouch and headed towards the bottom of the canyon.
Thud!
After arriving at the bottom of the canyon, the two observed their surroundings, and only after confirming safety did they leap down from their swords.
Then Chen Yuanyi took out a jade box, cast the wood-moving technique to uproot the blood sun grass, and then packed it well in the jade box. After that, he glanced at Chen Yuanhai and nodded.
"Let's go," Chen Yuanhai said in a low voice.
Just as the two wanted to leave, a loud noise came from not far away.
Boom!
"What is this? A Rock Armor Rhinoceros?!" The two turned their heads. A boulder-like figure not far from here suddenly moved. When they looked closely, it turned out to be a Rock Armor Rhinoceros sleeping here, and its size was even bigger than the one just now.
"Hurry and leave," Chen Yuanhai said anxiously. The two took out their qingyang swords and wanted to leave.
Naturally, the Rock Armor Rhinoceros would not let them go. Although it didn't know why two humans suddenly appeared after waking up, it didn't matter.
Seeing that the two were about to drive their qingyang swords to leave, the Rock Armor Rhinoceros raised its front foot and stamped fiercely. Countless gravels rose from the ground, and thenβ
Hum!
The countless gravel immediately attacked Chen Yuanhai and the other.
The two immediately threw out a water wall talisman to defend, and then turned around to continue rising into the air.
Because the Rock Armor Rhinoceros was not good at long-range attacks, this move did not break the water wall talisman.
The Rock Armor Rhinoceros glared resentfully at the two of them and could only let it go.
"That was close!" The two of them were high in the air, looking at that Rock Armor Rhinoceros, and exclaimed with emotion.
"I didn't expect that boulder to actually be transformed by a Rock Armor Rhinoceros. Fortunately, it was sleeping beforehand; otherwise, the two of us might not really have been able to leave." Chen Yuanyi felt lingering fear in his heart.
"Let's go, rendezvous with Sixth Sister," Chen Yuanhai reminded.
Chen Yuanyi nodded and drove his qingyang sword toward the direction of Chen Yuanjin.
Before long, two streaks of cyan escaping light arrived beside Chen Yuanjin.
"Sixth Sister, we got it, we can leave," Chen Yuanhai looked at Chen Yuanjin, who was still in fierce battle, and said loudly. Then, together with Chen Yuanyi, he threw out a golden sword talisman to strike the Rock Armor Rhinoceros.
Chen Yuanjin seized this opportunity to rise into the air and distance herself.
"Got it?" Chen Yuanjin asked.
"Mhm. Are we heading back to Qingyang Mountain first, or back to the marketplace?"
"Head back to Qingyang Mountain first, then plant this blood sun grass on our Family's Spiritual Vein, and then bring the Spirit Stone back to give to that Loose Cultivator," Chen Yuanjin explained.
...
In the evening, Chen Changqing and Zhang Daniu were still waiting.
However, although Zhang Daniu looked calm on the surface, he was already burning with anxiety inside.
He was almost at the point of speaking out to question why the people from the Chen Family hadn't come yet.
Just as his thoughts were running wild, a beautiful woman in blue walked in from outside the shop.
Joy appeared on the faces of Chen Changqing and the other.
"Sixth Aunt is back! Where is the blood sun grass?"
"It has already been brought back, and is now planted on our Family's Spiritual Vein." Chen Yuanjin just smiled faintly, and then she took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Zhang Daniu.
Zhang Daniu took it, unable to suppress the joy at the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect this transaction to make him make a fortune. This batch of Spirit Stones was enough for him to cultivate from the fourth layer of Qi Refining to the Late Qi Refining Stage. As for how far he could go in the future, it would depend on his fortune.
"Thank you, Senior," Zhang Daniu smiled and said.
"Small matter. My Chen Family has never treated Cultivators who are on good terms with us unfairly." Chen Changqing's tone was calm, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Yeah, if it were any other Family, being able to give me five hundred Spirit Stones would already be considered burning high incense for my Family," Zhang Daniu said, and then he took his leave and departed.
The two Chen Changqing watched him leave. Then Chen Yuanjin looked at Chen Changqing and said, "Changqing, Lin Feng has already returned from the Monster Mountain Range. He promised that one year later, when the foundation establishment pill comes out, Ninth Uncle can go to the Xuantian Sect for Foundation Establishment."
"In addition, he also gifted us ten thousand Spirit Stones as a discovery bonus, because the value of that Spiritual Vein far exceeded his imagination, so these ten thousand Spirit Stones are an extra condition added by him, and he will act for our Chen Family once within a reasonable scope."
Chen Changqing was surprised, "I didn't expect this Lin Feng to not only keep his promise, but also be so generous. He truly is the Disciple of Master Zixiao." Although he didn't know who Master Zixiao was.
"Mhm, there is one more thing. A month later, there will be an auction in the marketplace. I remember you should have gotten quite a lot of Spirit Stones during the battle with the Wu Family back then, right? Just take this opportunity to bid on some spiritual items that are useful to yourself."
"Understood, thank you Sixth Aunt." Chen Changqing had a grateful look on his face.
