章節 6: Chapter 6 Respect Others' Fate
"Spiritual Beasts, though more expensive, one can tell that these Spiritual Snakes are neither from the wild nor raised from infancy."
"Too much mortal energy, it's too dangerous to sell them."
Su Ping watched as, after successfully advancing, the three Spiritual Snakes burrowed into the pile of meat he had prepared for them and voraciously fed until their bodies quickly swelled to nearly a meter in length.
He soon realized that his plan to sell Spiritual Beasts was somewhat risky.
Loose Cultivators might not notice the issues, but they couldn't afford them anyway!
The Cultivators from the Immortal Sect who could afford them would definitely detect the problem with these Spiritual Snakes and realize they were advanced through external means.
Although it was indeed possible to succeed in advancing with waste pills, Su Ping had used this method too.
But in reality, Su Ping worried that others might not believe this fact.
Instead of waste pills, they'd probably suspect he had some sort of special destiny with immortals, right?
Of course, Su Ping also understood that if he only sold once or twice, the chances of being suspected of a problem were very small.
But!
For Su Ping, who already possessed the Fishing System and had a bright future so long as he remained the hidden Fishing Man,
this risk… still wasn't worth taking!
"Selling Spiritual Beasts is too dangerous!"
"It's better to sell materials directly, even if I earn less, it's much safer!"
Su Ping decided in his heart, and with his left hand, he pulled out a Red Flame Wood Sword from his storage bag.
Swish!
With a flick of his wrist, the wood sword drew a dazzling red light.
Su Ping, at the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, executed a Horizontal Slash, and in an instant, severed the heads of the three well-fed Spiritual Snakes turned away from him!
Immediately, Su Ping took out a wooden bucket for blood and a wooden box for skin, fur, and bones, and began proficiently dissecting his spoils.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The two mice were also startled by this turn of events, jumping off Su Ping's shoulder onto the desk.
When they saw that the Spiritual Snakes were killed, instead of feeling sympathetic, they instinctively displayed a longing look and began to beg Su Ping for Blood Food.
The emperor isn't short of hungry soldiers, and the Fishing Man isn't short of hungry mice.
Su Ping took out small bowls, collected the snake blood, and divided the snake meat for the two mice.
Then he continued disassembling.
When it came to it, the three Spiritual Snakes didn't yield much in terms of quantity, and it wasn't long before Su Ping had packed up the remains.
"None of the three Spiritual Snakes had a Demon Core, and the quality of materials is First Tier Low Grade, about the same as that of juvenile demon beasts."
"However, that is to be expected, given they were Mortal Beasts that advanced in rank. To enhance their quality, one would need to raise them for years."
"Hmm… maybe I could continue to feed them waste pills and Purification Spiritual Medicines to shorten this cultivation time?"
As Su Ping thought of this and looked at the mice enjoying their feast, he took note of the idea.
Once the Fishing Point increased, and there was no longer a shortage of Fishing Coins, he could indeed attempt to see if he could improve the quality of Spiritual Pets by piling on medicines.
For now… after earning some Spirit Stones, it was more important to improve his own Cultivation!
After all, if he became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he could take charge of a workshop. Then selling Spiritual Beasts wouldn't be as worrying as it was now!
Three days later…
In a bamboo forest swirled with fog.
Su Ping used a Token to disperse the mist, and had just entered the revealed path when he ran into someone familiar.
It was the Junior Brother Yun Jiu who once sold him a Beast Taming Talisman.
Yun Jiu, a farm lad with an unassuming appearance and slender frame, always looked like a lad who never grew up.
However, his Cultivation had reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation quite early. With his innate talent in Beast Taming, it was said that he was highly regarded by the Outer Sect Deacon.
Right now, however, Yun Jiu's steps were unsteady, his complexion was ashen.
And in contrast to Su Ping, who had just successfully increased his level, the difference in their aura was stark.
"Senior Brother Su! What brings you to the Cloud Mountain Workshop?"
Yun Jiu was somewhat surprised, as he had heard that the Cultivator with the poorest cultivation among them had gone down the mountain to serve as a Guardian.
"Junior Brother Yun!"
Su Ping revealed a smile, greeted him, and then directly stated his prepared story:
"I was lucky; I encountered a few low-tier demonic snakes while hunting outside the city," Su Ping said. "Although I didn't manage to catch the larger snake, I did leave with several snakelets."
"I don't know how to use the split materials from the demon beasts, so I might as well exchange them for some Spirit Stones."
Su Ping didn't lie; before coming here, he had indeed organized the servants of the manor to go hunting, and he staged a show of chasing demon beasts.
"Demonic snakes?"
Yun Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He rubbed his sore old back and immediately asked Su Ping to purchase some snake blood.
Su Ping naturally wouldn't refuse and subtly reminded him that even Cultivators shouldn't overindulge in the matters of men and women.
The female cultivators of the Immortal Miao Building were all extraordinary, and even though they charged for their services and didn't intentionally drain their patrons, the male cultivators couldn't resist and would end up compromising their foundations.
And judging by Yun Jiu's current appearance, he didn't look like he could withstand much either.
But having said that, Su Ping didn't intend to say anything more.
Those matters weren't managed by the elders of the Immortal Sect, so why should he bother himself?
Yun Jiu drank a mouthful of snake blood on the spot, and his complexion immediately became rosier.
Yet his body was still extremely frail.
He paused, feeling somewhat regretful:
"It helped a bit, but not much; the quality of these demonic snakes is a bit low," he said.
"Sigh, it seems I really need to cultivate more before coming here again."
"Thank you, Senior Brother. Rest assured, Fairy Luo has me in her heart; she's taught me methods to conserve and accumulate vitality, and I have self-control," Yun Jiu reassured, as he carefully stored the remaining snake blood, then, after bidding farewell to Su Ping with a cupped fist salute, hurriedly disappeared into the mist.
Su Ping's gaze returned, but his mind flashed with memories related to Yun Jiu.
He vaguely remembered that this junior brother had been favored by an Outer Sect deacon to join a certain group, and that was how he became infatuated with a female cultivator in the workshop?
Su Ping sensed that there might be more to the story than meets the eye, yet he didn't delve deeper.
As long as it didn't interfere with his fishing and pursuit of immortal cultivation, that was all that mattered.
Putting aside the compulsion to help others, he respected the fate of others.
Following the path through the bamboo forest, he eventually entered the Cloud Mountain Workshop.
As the mist cleared, a bustling town appeared before his eyes.
It was nothing like the Nine Leaf Workshop he'd seen before.
Being one of the official workshops of the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect,
Cloud Mountain Workshop sat upon a Second Tier Low-Grade Spirit Vein, and its Spiritual Energy was further concentrated by an array.
In addition, it was guarded by several Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
That alone attracted many cultivator families to reside here permanently.
All trades related to immortal cultivation could also be found here, with branches in this region, making this location a crucial trading hub.
Su Ping, wanting to sell demon beast meat, naturally found this place the most convenient.
He didn't even need to set up a stall; simply going to the most famous restaurant in the workshop, he exchanged all the spiritual snake materials in his storage pouch for Spirit Stones in one go.
The restaurant's kitchen staff complained about the quality of the snake meat Su Ping sold, considering it the lowest grade they had ever seen.
But no one suspected that the meat came from a Mortal Beast that had evolved.
After all, selling controlled Spiritual Beasts as demon beast meat, such a foolish trade had never been done in this region before.
"Including my previous savings, my Spirit Stones have finally recovered to a three-digit number," Su Ping thought, as he felt the number of Spirit Stones in his storage pouch. He couldn't help but relax and felt much more at ease.
Then, having come all the way to Cloud Mountain Workshop, Su Ping didn't plan to just leave.
Considering the potential surprise that the exclusive item, the Town Return Talisman, from the fishing mall might bring,
he decided to head towards the main thoroughfare of the workshop and start buying mode.
A good Magic Artifact or a high-tier talisman might be too expensive, but first, purchase a dozen Invisibility Talismans that could conceal one from ordinary people!
He also replaced his old Magic Robe with a new model that included the Mist Technique.
Furthermore, he bought a set of Array Plates and Array Flags for setting up a simple Formation.
He also added some low-tier Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Wine, beneficial for both Cultivators and mortals, and some Calming Incense that aids in meditation and focus.
Though the Spirit Stones were spent,
Su Ping felt much lighter and more confident about the future!
